Twins vs. Pirates, first inning

Scott Baker is starting for Minnesota against Matt Morris. The veteran Morris is a fast worker -- get the ball, get the sign and throw.
Some fan behind home plate squeals in delight when Michael Cuddyer is announced, and she lets out another high-pitched sound of pleasure when he singles.
Although 20-25 miles per hour winds make it seem colder than the announced 63-degree temperature, this weather is a refreshing change for central Florida residents too accustomed to year-round heat and humidity.
Neither team scores in the first, although Pirates right fielder Nate McLouth -- batting third today -- singles and steals second.
