Twins-Indians: Pregame

Just posting the lineups.Will check in later.

If you are coming to the game, bring a blanket or radiant heat unit.

*Nick Blackburn threw in the bullpen Wednesday and felt great. So all systems are go for him to start on Saturday in Kansas City.

*Nick Punto, when asked if he was ready to roll, said, ``I'm almost there." So he's not quite 100 percent yet.

*Pat Neshek played catch on Wednesday and felt good. He's in line to throw in the bullpen tomorrow. Got the sense that the manager is not happy about being shorthanded for over a week.

Twins will miss Zack Greinke this weekend in Kansas City. They will face Gil Meche, Luke Hochevar and Brian Bannister.
