Twins @ Rays: via Twinkie Town March 17, 2010 at 10:49 AM; Happy St. Patty's Day and such. Perhaps the Twins will seize this opportunity to announce a shiny new contract extension for Mr. Joseph Patrick Mauer. Eh, probably not. Anywho, here are today's lineups for today's 12:05 start, per Kelly Thesier: Twins (5-7) Denard Span, CF Nick Punto, 3BJason Kubel, DHMichael Cuddyer, RF Delmon Young, LF Wilson Ramos, CLuke Hughes, 2BBrock Peterson, 1BAlexi Ca

Yankees tried to trade for Denard Span last July: via Twinkie Town March 16, 2010 at 01:47 PM; Yankees tried to trade for Denard Span last July This from Joel Sherman at the New York Post. It's an interesting tidbit, particularly when he says the Yankees tried to get Span a number of times. Then Sherman does something laughably Newyorkese by suggesting something that doesn't make any sense: I thought it might be an interesting trade this spring for the Yanks to obtain Span for Phil

Twins @ Marlins: via Twinkie Town March 15, 2010 at 11:41 AM; First pitch is 12:05 in Jupiter today. Jupiter is on the opposite side of Florida from Fort Myers, and thus is a three-hour bus ride. I don't know if anybody will get the option to skip the trip today, but if they do, they'll probably take it. (Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau are scheduled to miss out with very minor injuries.) Francisco Liriano is scheduled to start.
My appearance on ProRumors.com: via Twinkie Town March 15, 2010 at 06:05 AM; I mentioned this early Sunday morning, but I made an appearance on ProRumors.com TV last night to talk about all things Twins. Below, the video; I avoided cussing, probably because we did not discuss certain third basemen. I come in about the 23 minute mark.

Nevertheless, feel free to join us at 9:00 for the show; I should come in around ten after or so.
