Twins in Oakland

The Twins are off today and begin a series out in Oakland tomorrow. Yesterday Kubel, hitting 3rd in the lineup, went 2-for-4 with a walk. His two-out single in the 10th sent Harris to 3rd and set up the game-winning single by Morneau.

In the Oakland series, the Twins will face Joe Blanton on Tuesday, Chad Gaudin on Wednesday, and Gerg Smith on Thursday. Kubel has never faced Smith, but here's how he has hit against Blanton and Gaudin:

Blanton: 0-3
Gaudin: 3-5, HR

I'm hoping for a big series from Kubel to bring up that average and OBP.

KUBES - we owe Oakland a big time ass whipping every game going forward. Swisher really made me hot our last playoff series - actually tell CBass to get em for me.
