10 AM: Dan Haren (3-0, 2.03) vs. Mike Pelfrey (0-2, 7.32).
4 PM: Red Patterson? (0-0, -.--) vs. Kris Johnson (0-2, 6.10).
OK, I know Red has the flu and might not pitch today. But how often do we get a pitcher named Red? Cut the chatter, Red Two!
How bad is the Twins' pitching? They have the second-worst team ERA (5.04) in the majors, ahead of only the Diamondbacks' 5.26. (Oh, how we miss the D'bags.) The Dodger bats got healthy at Target Field yesterday, and there's no reason why they can't continue to tee off of Pelfrey and Johnson.
As for the doubleheader, well, these things are a rarity nowadays, so you might as well call in sick and stay in front of the TV today. What's that, you don't have Time-Warner? Neither do I. Get clear, Wedge, you can't do any more good back there!

Defensively, I'd prefer Crawford be DH.
Offensively, I'd prefer he sit.

Oh shit, Pelfrey has plenty left in the tank!
What did I tell you about listening to Scout?
But she was right about Boo Radley.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Epale, Mr. F!
Nothin' doin' that inning.
Mr. F with the drive-by!
I feel weird trying to hang out here again
Shit. Now 5-4.
You know you're welcome here anytime, Mr. F.
No way Haren gets out of this.
Challenge!
Happy to be wrong!
What's that, the second challenge we've won?
Floodgates reopened. 8-4 Dodgers.
No time for committee.
Floodgates? Rivergates?
I would love to smoke these two games, then head to FL and sweep there. That's my dream and I'm sticking to it.
Smoke these games? While Chris Perez is pitching?
Win!
Make Cold Party!
What the hell am I supposed to do for three hours?
Oh yeah. Work.
What do we do now in this GameThread?
Post lineups, that's what!

Let's go Red! Help our boys in blue!
Already down 1-0 through 1.
I didn't get to follow any spring training so I don't know anything about Patterson. Should I feel this worried or am I over reacting??
I'm really enjoying Orel in the booth. Charley is going to take some time.
101 pitches for Johnson. Let's break through here, A-Gon
Johnson knocked out on AGon's single. First and third for Kemp, one out!
Get in touch with your inner Beast here Matty.
Donnie has to decide between the lesser of two evils here...Leave Red in or bring in League. Either way sucks.
Uribe brings in SVS. Good Guys tie the game at 1.
Come on Pacoster! Leadoff walk in the eighth of a 2-2 game
Paco gives up a single. Two on, none out
We look stinky.
gimme a double play, baby
Wilson gets two Ks to get out of a first and third mess. Way to go, Beard!
dammit Matt. You were up 3-0 and ground out, to go 0-for-5 with a GIDP. Come on!
SVS and Uribe both K. Brutal.
ump is squeezing Jamey Wright here
what's up with this? (from MLB.com GameDay)
Minnesota Twins center fielder Aaron Hicks left the game due to an injured head.
Jamey Wright gets Kubel to K, Escobar (PH) to ground out.
Extra baseball!
It looks like I'm the only one watching this game
.170 BA Justin Turner up to leadoff in the tenth.
Turner is 0-for-3 to date
Turner grounds to third, and is now batting .167.
Butera: one pitch, one out. He's 0-for-2 and is batting .214.
Dee goes two pitches to get his out (out #3). Dee is 0-for-5 today
Dodgers: 2-for-10 with RISP
Mauer with a one-out single in the 10th. Wright still pitching, at 30 pitches.
SVS HR to leadoff the 12th!!!
I heart Scott Van Slyke.
I heart Drew Brrrruera or whatever.
Let's hold this lead boys.
First and second, none out in the bottom of the 12th. Kenley pitching. 4-2 Dodgers.
I am worried.
Criminy. All of those pitches were in the zone, ump! Kenley is getting fucked here.
Bases loaded, none out.
Kenley has thrown 21 pitches, 20 of which have been cutters.
Mauer sac fly makes it 4-3. One out.
Plouffe flies to right. Two out.
Torture. One strike away.
In play, out(s)
We make * faints*
Kenley needs a fucking break. Jesus.
We make party long time!!!
Yee Hawwww
