Wonder who the announcers will be tonight? Maybe Adam Amin and AJ Pierzynski? AJ is actually pretty good. 

[cHawk]

Adam Amin and A.J. Pierzynski will indeed be calling this game.

[Schmoeman5]

I looked at Fox and the game I have is Dodgers vs Yankees?

If you are currently in the red-shaded region, Yankees vs. Dodgers will be in your market.

I don't think this map is correct. Among other things, I feel pretty certain that the Minnesota/Cleveland game will be shown throughout most of Minnesota and most of Ohio.

How can you not love Mr. Varland?

Gonna be a lot of unhappy campers, if we don't get the Twins game and get stuck with NY/LA.

Interesting lineup decisions for Baldelli. Assuming Buxton is out and Correa in, he has Solano, Polanco, Correa, Farmer and Lewis to cover the infield and DH (all RH hitters). Castro and MAT could cover two OF spots, with either Kirilloff or Kepler available for RF. There’s a case for everyone but Farmer to get a day off among the infielders. I expect Wallner is on a plane from Buffalo.

@Nine of twelve @CRF @Schmoeman5 I apologize, I posted the incorrect map. This is the correct map. NYY/LAD will be broadcasted in the red-shaded region and CLE/MIN the blue-shaded region.

A ok. I'm in the red, but I still have MLB so I'll watch there. Thank you

Gallo to the IL. So probably Wallner to return.

Where are you seeing this? Didn’t see mention of it from the usual sources. Not surprised, just haven’t seen it yet

It was on the MLB  Twins report. Baldelli mentions he's been gutting it out for a while. So hearing that I'm wondering why this didn't happen a week ago

Same here.

And I misread that as well. Gallo COULD be headed for the IL

He is.

Gallo, Correa and Buxton all injured but trying to play through it certainly would explain their respective slumps.  I sure hope the Twins get hitting on all cylinders and put this division in the rear view mirror. With their pitching they can walk away with the Central if they can just play to their potential. 

A.J. Perzinski is very good as an color guy, I found it embarassing that some Twins fans booed him when he wore a different uniform. It was not his idea to leave Minnesota.

Always liked AJ even with different team.

Weird as it seems, the Twins currently have the largest divisional lead (4 games) in MLB. May fortune favor the {fill in the blank}.

I remember that when the Giants unloaded him a year after that wonderful trade, the local media characterized him as a "cancer in the clubhouse." Did he have that reputation in Minnesota? Or was it just a case of a different clubhouse.

DET has notched an L today.

I know when AJ was a Twin other teams were very hostile towards him to the point of on occasion "allegedly" throwing at him.

Ozzie Guillen said "when you manage against AJ, you hate him. When he's on your team, you hate him less."

The most detailed thing I heard about AJ"s season in SF was that he really missed his old team. He wanted to watch the Twins on TV and talked a lot about the way things were in Minnesota. The Giants players were not impressed.

That quote by Ozzie is an absolute all time classic!
