Where do the dogs sit during dog day? What section of the ballpark are they allowed in? Is this something only available to season ticket holders, or can others get in on it?
We all love what Hudson has done in the minors this year, however is anyone else concerned about the fact that he only throws a 4 seamer, but no 2 seamer nor cutter? I always thought that a starting pitcher in the major leagues must have one of the two moving fastballs in addition to the the 4 seamer in order to be successful.
I think we love Gordon because he will definitely be a .300 hitter for a lot of his peak seasons. How many times has a full time Sox hitter hit over .300 between '05 and now? Only twice. The '06 JD and PK. Outside of that, no full time Sox player has hit .300 over the past 4 years.

If Mauer turns down whatever the Twin's offer will be he sure as hell isn't going to the White Sox.
You're probably right. But there is very little chance he's gonna turn down a Twins offer. The guy turned down a very promising football career to play for the Twins, he will likely remain on that team until he can't play anymore.

big run left out there - should he have scored on that ground out to Jeter?
No, infield was in. He would have been out by a mile and a half

thanks.
how was burls on the trade? sun times tried to make it sound like he had mixed feelings
He said that both he and the team were excited about it, but they'll miss CR and that the Pads are getting a good pitcher in him.

for those of us not getting the feed, any comments on the peavy deal or are they too busy slurping the bombers?
No they've talked about it, interviewed Buehrle about it too.
