Wednesday: The morning of the evening game.
Posted on February 25th, 2009 – 8:59 AMBy La Velle
I’m already at Hammond Stadium prepping for my fill-in stint on KFAN. I know this is the beginning of 35 fake games before the real ones start, but I still get fired up on this day.
The Twins lineup hasn’t been finalized yet. I did hear that we will not see Carlos Gomez today so others can play.
I was just handed the Red Sox lineup. Keep in mind that they play a split-squad with Boston College today.
1. Ellsbury, CF. 2. MVP, 2B. 3. Youkilis, 3B. 4. Jason Bay, LF. 5. Wilkerson, RF. 6. Lowrie, SS. 7. Bailey, DH. . 8. Bard, C. 9. Gil Velazquez, 5. Pitching: Wakefield. It’s a good test for Glen Perkins.
Read Jim Souhan’s well-written story on Nick Punto today…..but Punto needs to stop diving into first base.
Here’s the lineup of guests today on The Fan:
9:20: Rob Antony, Twins assistant GM.
10:20 Gophers coach John Anderson
11:05 Twins president Dave St. Peter
11:40 Paul Hoynes, Indians beat writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
As you can see, it will be baseball intensive - except for when I talk about my Illini getting ready to dine on fresh Gopher on Thursday at Assembly Hall! We’ll take calls when we can.
