for those who don't know, today's game vs. cleveland was suspended after 11 inning, tied 5-5. the reason? no inning could start after 2:30 pm to ensure that the stadium crew could set up the football field in time for tonight's gophers game.
some quotes...
"We battle our butts off and then it's over," exclaimed Torii Hunter. "That's terrible."
"We're in the middle of a mess now," said manager Ron Gardenhire, who couldn't contain his anger. "We don't need a stadium? C'mon."
"I'm not saying anything about the college, I respect them and all sports, but we're trying to clinch home field here," reliever Juan Rincon said. "It doesn't make it any easier for us at home where we should be at home."
of course...not all were upset...lew ford, never accused of having too much common sense, had this to say.
"I didn't even know anything about it," Minnesota outfielder Lew Ford said. "When everyone started walking off the field I thought they were kidding at first."
"I guess the crowd knew, though, because they all left immediately," he added.
