Take the Twins two best hitters out of the line up and see how they look. Hell they don't have two hitters anywhere near Frank and Maggs. They were missing Shannon Stewart and Doug M and we kicked this s*** out of them last series. It isn't corpseball, it is a team without its superstars.

Garcia Ks Morneau to end it. Halfway home 3-0 bad guys.

Two out single for Ford. 3-0 Twins

Guzman follows that with a double, 2-0 Twins. I hate to say this, but with the way that Santana is pitching, that might be the ballgame

Two out double by Shannon Stewart scores Koskie from second for the first run of the game

Everett Ks ending a 10 pitch AB in the 4th. I think our best bet is run up Santanas pitch count and to try to beat the pen. Santana is at 66 pitches through a scoreless 4 innings of work.

Not much to update. Both pitchers are owning this game. Great pitchers duel so far.

Yeah in the game thread, I mentioned it. JR was in the booth talking to Hawk and DJ. No details, but he talked about how hard KW was working and how he didn't get to the box until the top of the 2nd inning because he was on the phone with another GM.

And Heads signature continues to work its magic as Ben Davis leads off the 3rd with a single.

"money has yet to be a problem for going after players" in regards to increases in payroll. He also said that KW is still working the phones hard. He said that he didn't get to the booth until the 2nd inning because he was talking to another GM And that is all, JR is out.

Talks with Maggs have been broke off because Maggs agent doesn't want to talk anymore. He isn't worried about that stuff, right now he just wants Maggs to get better.

Twins go 1-2-3 in the 3rd and the Chairman is coming back for another half inning.... I'll keep posting what he saids.

Now talking about how fans are connecting to this team. JR saids it starts with Ozzie. The excitment started with Oz and spread to the team and fans.

He's talking about the Field of Dreams fields. Major props again to the Sox for these !!!

Jerry Reinsdorf is in the booth...

Big time. Very Sammyesque reception.

The Torii watch is a ground out to 2nd on the first pitch. Borchard makes a nice psuedo diving catch in RF.

One pitch ground out...

If Garcia throws at Hunter he will be ejected immediately, and we don't want that.

I don't know if anyone else has commented on it yet, but PK is standing at the railing of the dugout, giving this explanation of team chemistry, and how you are so in tune with your teammates you don't need to talk to them to understand what is going on... Then Shingo wanders behind him looking kind of confused. Shingo saids something in Japanese, and Pauly goes "Its in the batrack" It was great.

KW has made two moves already, and gave up a lot of prospects to do it. Unless he wants to completely mortgage the future, he is pretty close to done. He might have a small move or two left, but nothing big.

Good job Ross. Way to clean up the letter and get a reply! And I do want to say as well, that you have shown a lot more maturity on this go around here on Soxtalk. Good job dude.

Did you tell them to "shove it" and that they were "complete bastards"?

ATA had like $59 or $69 advertised in the paper the other day. If Ang weren't going to Vegas... I take it the airlines are in a fare war again...

Wow, I was hoping this would be a bad rumor. Prayers to the Hatley family.
