MINNEAPOLIS -- A windy, wintry mix of light snow and rain forced the Minnesota Twins to postpone their inter-league series finale against the New York Mets on Sunday. The game will be made up on Monday afternoon, Aug. 19. The Twins announced the decision about four hours before the scheduled game. On Sunday morning, light snow was falling, and the forecast called for rain and a high of 38 degrees. "We certainly knew the days forecast was not promising," Twins president Dave St. Peter said. "The best decision for the Twins and the Mets, and ultimately for our fans, was to postpone todays game." New York won the first two games of the series at Target Field, with temperatures in the low 30s. Its the sixth time the Twins postponed a game since moving from the climate-controlled confines of the Metrodome to Target Field in 2010. The Mets are scheduled to stop in Minneapolis on Aug. 19 after finishing a weekend series in San Diego before heading back to New York. The Twins are at home the day before and play at Detroit the day after. Dillon Gee (0-2) was scheduled to start for New York and Kevin Correia (0-1) for the Twins. The projected rotation has Gee pitching on Monday at Colorado, where the Mets arent exactly expecting warmer conditions -- forecasts called for snow in the Denver area and highs in the low 40s. Correias start was bumped back to Monday against the Los Angeles Angels. "Im sure those guys will take the day off and regroup and hopefully get a precipitation-free day tomorrow," St. Peter said. The Twins also suspended a game against the New York Yankees after five innings because of rain during the ballparks inaugural year. "The first three years have been great, to be honest, much better than many people had predicted," St. Peter said of the weather for outdoor games. Cheap San Antonio Spurs Jerseys .

JUPITER, Fla. -- Skip Schumaker knows the big league life wont last forever, that some high draft pick will eventually take his job. Helping those kids get ready, he believes, is part of his job. St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak envisions Schumaker as a super utility player this season, capable of starting at second base where hes been the regular the last two seasons, and at all three outfield spots. The Cardinals are giving Tyler Greene, a first-round draft pick in 2005 and perennial prospect, every chance of winning the second base job. Schumaker, knows nothing is settled yet for this season. Whatever happens, hes determined not to sabotage the process. He frowns at a memory of Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favres stance several years ago, that it wasnt part of his job description to help Aaron Rodgers out. "I think thats a crock," Schumaker said. "That is part of the deal." Rookie manager Mike Matheny has been talking all spring about veterans doing all they can to help the prospects. Hes made it a point to match established players with minor leaguers in drills and on the bullpen mounds, hoping the younger players pick up some of the little secrets from Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman. Schumaker was one player he didnt have to encourage or remind. Schumaker remembers getting help from veterans Jim Edmonds and John Mabry as he was cracking the majors, and is determined to pass that on. Mabry, in his first year as assistant hitting coach with the team, said he was shepherded by Willie McGee, also in camp as a guest instructor. "Youre not going to last forever in this game, and youve got to kind of plant a tree that youre not going to sit under the shade with," Mabry said. "Youve got to prepare guys, tell them what to expect, what the pitchers are trying to do to them." Matheny did what he could to help Yadier Molina, a Gold Glove winner the last four years. "Ive said that for a long time," Matheny said. "I said that right when he took my job and even his peers thought that this year." Schumaker is 32, only four years older than Greene, whose success at Triple-A Memphis has not translated yet to the majors. Greene is a career .218 hitter in the majors, but batted .323 with 14 homers at Memphis last season.dddddddddddd "Im sure they want him to succeed," Schumaker said. "He has all the talent in the world, he has all the tools, but it just hasnt shown here. Its a big jump, its not easy." Schumaker remembers getting one hit in his first 20 at-bats of 2008, when he started at all three outfield spots and was the opening day starter in right. He totalled eight hits the next three games and batted .302 on the year. "Its a mental game, and I know part of it with Tyler is mental," Schumaker said. "If he can get through that, hell be fine. Itll just be better for our team if he can put it all together." If he cant, Greene wont be alone. "Tony (La Russa) played the hot hand a lot and if you look around the league thats what usually happens," Schumaker said. "If a guys not doing the job they find someone else. You do or you dont, thats in life, too. Thats the deal." The Cardinals have another second baseman in the pipeline, taking Hawaiis Kolten Wong last June. Wong played at Class A Quad Cities last year. "Kolten is going to be here one day and the easier the transition, the quicker itll be for him to adjust at the major league level," Schumaker said. "So whatever he needs, Im always open." Hes determined not to peek back at the competition, either, preferring to trust in his ability. "As soon you start looking over your shoulder, you start forgetting who you are and what it takes to be a major leaguer," Schumaker said. "You start concerning yourself with other players and forget you need to get ready for the game, too. "I dont concern myself with competition, I just get myself ready to play. Eventually hes going to take that job." Notes: The Cardinals and catcher Yadier Molina reportedly are close on a multiyear contract extension. Both sides were mum on the topic, with Molina saying, "I dont know." ...The top two projected starters, Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, both threw batting practice. It was the first such session for the 37-year-old Carpenter, whos building gradually and is expected to skip his first spring training start. ... Matheny had rave reviews for Carlos Beltrans bat. "Apparently he can hit a curveball because he lost about $400 worth of baseballs yesterday off the curveball machine." ' ' '
