If the Twins can’t beat the Yankees today — with the Bombers throwing a spot starter and bullpen-by-committee out there, while Minnesota goes with Francisco Liriano — then it will officially be clear that this year’s Twins are scared of the big, bad Yankees.

Will it happen? We’re about to find out. As the game unfolds:

*Punch a wall if a non-star Yankee gets a big hit.

*Purchase a delicious treat from the vending machine if you noticed that A) RandBall favorite but recent struggler Brendan Harris is not in the lineup today and B) the move of Cuddyer into the 5-hole and Kubel down to 6, to split up the big lefties, lasted exactly one game.

*Buy a Kubel jersey online if he hits a home run.
