The Minnesota Twins could have their first snow cancellation since the team moved back outdoors into Target Field in 2010 this weekend. Snow is currently covering the field and seating, and temperatures are going to be around freezing throughout the weekend. It is not good timing for Twins and the earlier inter-league schedule thanks to each league now having fifteen teams.
The New York Mets are tomorrow’s opponent, and it will be the only scheduled series between the two teams. A cancellation and bad weather over the weekend could wreak havoc on the schedules later this year.
“As always, we will make every effort to play the game as scheduled and we currently plan to play on Friday night,” said Chris Iles, a team spokesman. “Since this is the only visit by the Mets this year, it is important that we play the game if at all possible, especially considering that the weekend forecast is also questionable.”
Those cheap SOBs are paying for not including a retractable roof on their new stadium. That is unbelievable in today's times in this part of the country.
I bet they will play this weekend, but the game Friday night could be cancelled. Grounds crew have their work cut out for them. Even if they do play, who the hell wants to sit outside watching baseball in 30 degree weather?

I don't see how you can get that snow off the field with Bobcats and such without damaging the turf. I'd bet this one is postponed because there is no cost efficient way to melt the snow fast.
