Linked into the Twins

No game yesterday as the Twins enjoyed their first off day. Still plenty news to report, so I'm going with a linked up blog post today. Read whatever grabs your attention.

* The plan was to have Francisco Liriano return to the majors on Sunday after his second minor league start; however, some things don't always go according to plan as Liriano doesn't appear ready.

* Matt Tolbert continues to impress the Twins. His passion and ability have left an impact on the entire organization.

* Something to chew on: yesterday the Twins announced an eight-year partnership with Sportservice who will provide the food in the new ballpark. Plans are to offer a new, unique, local menu. Lefsa anyone?

* Joe Christensen of the Star Tribune gives his sad, but true observations on the Twins offense after eights games this season. Do the Twins have the worst offense in the American League?

* Twins beat reporter, Kelly Thesier, answers Twins fan mail. She is asked, does Carlos Gomez still have rookie eligibility?

After a minor technical difficulty, the Carlos Gomez stolen base count is now up on the sidebar.

Scott Baker (1-0) takes the mound this evening against Jon Danks (0-0) and the White Sox at 7:11 CST in Chicago. Go Twins!
