Twins lefthander Johan Santana's start has been pushed back until Friday against Cleveland, if that game against the Indians is played as scheduled.

The Cleveland series could be affected by the collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge on Wednesday.

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he wasn't sure how the Twins' rotation would shape up after that. He was visibly affected by the bridge collapse -- a road he travels to and from the Metrodome throughout the season.

The Twins might just push every starter back a day, meaning Santana would face C.C. Sabathia on Friday, righthander Matt Garza would start on Saturday against a pitcher yet to be determined; righthander Scott Baker would face Fausto Carmona on Sunday and righthander Carlos Silva would face Paul Byrd on Monday.

I made this championship belt for the push to the '09 Division Title. Gladden offered to buy it; I wanted a trade for one of his rings. He declined.
