Twins go up to Toronto...Morneau hits two homers...Bullpen logs 4 scoreless...they win 8-3. That's what a good team looks like.

Zaleski gave up a first inning grand slam. W-S and Kanny rained out.

Go Rain!

Beckham either has to play through it here, or in the minors. He shouldn't be sitting.

Question for JPN--what's Andy Tomberlin's reputation as hitting coach at Birmingham? I'm looking at Gary Ward at Charlotte, and if Walker finally gets the boot, I'm wondering if Tomberlin is in the mix.

Beckham's first AB changed to E4. That sucks.

No team will take Mark Buehrle this year. If he's traded, he makes $15 mil this year, and $15 mil in 2011 and 2012. The Sox have him at $14 mil this year and 2011, and then he'll probably sign with the Cardinals, for a true hometown discount. Quite frankly, I think by the time 2012 comes around we'll be ok with Mark moving on.

Yeah, there's a bunch of garbage on this team. What they get back in trades doesn't matter. It would be like the trade deadline in 2002 when they traded four or five players for minor league garbage. Just get these guys out and clear payroll room for next year.

I'm not too hard on Teahen, because I don't expect a lot from the guy. But why the hell did Kenny give this guy a 3-year contract? Kenny is always preaching Chicago Tough, and they could have had a free year to evaluate him, and decide if he was worthy of keeping around in 2011. That's a bad move, pure and simple.

I think Don Cooper would be an awful manager. You have to be somewhat good with the media, and I think he would be very combative with them. He's should stay as pitching coach-that's what he's good at. As far as Ozzie, I don't know how he gets fired with 2+ years left on his contract. If anything changes, i think it will be Kenny quitting after this season, and then maybe Ozzie has the short leash next season with Rick Hahn as GM.

Yikes.

Arod grand slam. Twins down 7-4 in the 7th.

Don't worry. Rios is going to hit a 3-run homer next inning.

Classic Buehrle.

According to gameday, Pierre got credit for a sacrifice. Is that possible when there was already one out? Was he bunting for a hit?

ABC cancelled Flashforward, Better Off Ted, and Scrubs...and that Alyssa Milano show.

Doyle mowing them down at Kannapolis again. He may be in line for a promotion.

Huddy done after 6 shutout innings. 88 pitches. I guess it depends how the Sox do the next few weeks, but if the season is over, there's no reason to keep Freddy, and there is every reason to bring Hudson up by the break.

Short 2-3, .409. He has 65 hits in 34 games.

They're real. She was born Katy Hudson...here she is at 16. Huge rack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pLvWjountA

It's Chris Getz's fault.

Short 4-6. WTF? This guy is on fire.

Short 3-4, double, .403...damn.

Short 2-3. .399

Unless Quentin turns it around in a big way, I don't want him in the Sox plans for 2011. He's a one-year wonder.
