That’s right. I have joined Twitter nation!

I’ll be able to post news updates and occasional observations during games, but I’ll try to mix in some humor when I can. Some funny things happen in the pressbox during games. Patrick Reusse is throwing anything he can get away with on his account. He just tweeted about me chatting with George King in the pressbox a few minutes ago, unable to resist mentioning our connection to the controversial Pedro-no-MVP vote several years ago!!!

Feel free to follow me on twitter! Here’s my link!

Was driving to the park when I got wind of the pitching switch. Perkins apparently has a major fever - no, there’s no word if it’s Yankee Fever! My guess is that everyone will move up a day in the rotation, so Francisco Liriano will face the Yankees tomorrow.

The Twins have signed two Domincan shortstops they feel have pretty good ceilings: Jorge Polanco and Jonatan Ynojoso.

Update: Perkins could start tomorrow if he feels better. But, as of right now, Francisco Liriano is set to start the series finale. Sounds like Perk will return to the rotation whenever he feels better.

Why push it? Give Perk a day to make sure he’s regained some his strength and send him out against the Pale Hose….
