08.22.12 The game plan

August 22, 2012 at 2:20AM

THE BUZZ QB Russell Wilson will start for Seattle in the third preseason game ahead of Matt Flynn. Apparently ex-Badgers are better than ex-Packers?

REMOTE PATROL If you have the afternoon free, why not check out the return of Liam Hendriks to the Twins' rotation? No, seriously. (2:30 p.m., FSN, vs. Oakland).

Click pick Tweet from @CSNBaggs: I'm told #SFGiants were able to cancel order for 20,000 Melky T-shirts before they were printed. Fans to get Angel Pagan shirt instead.

STAR GAZING Adrian Peterson won't play during preseason games for the Vikings, putting his all-time preseason rushing record (which doesn't exist) in jeopardy.

FAST FACT If Stephen Strasburg really is limited to 180 innings, as has been reported, the best guess as to when he will reach the threshold: Sept. 24 vs. Milwaukee.
