We’ve heard that Game Three of the ALDS is tentatively scheduled to start at 6 p.m. at the Dome. That time could be made official during tonight’s game.

In two-and-a-half hours following Tuesday’s dramatic win, the Twins sold 46,000 tickets for both Game Three and Game Four.  The Twins were getting close to shutting off sales so they can determine how many tickets will be returned by season ticket holders.

Homer Hankies are on sale now at every Twins Pro Shop as well as the ticket window at the Dome. Cost: $2.00.

Reggie Jackson spent several minutes talking with Twins great Tony Oliva as photographers zeroed in. Mr. October then chatted up Joe Mauer, who then called Justin Morneau over to join the conversation. Good move by the Twins to bring Oliva on the trip and have him in uniform on the field.

The umpiring crew strolled across the front of the Twins dugout on their way to their dressing area. St. Paul’s own Tim Tschida is the crew chief and will work behind the plate tonight. He spotted Twins manager Ron Gardenhire and pitching coach Rick Anderson, walked over and shook hands with them as photographers clicked away. Wonder how that will go over…
