Mauer pinch hit and struck out. Twins still added runs. 6-1 going to the 9th. So the Sox are 7 out.

Short 5-6. Prospect or just hot?

That Silverio guy really blows, doesn't he?

3-1 Twins, top 7

Short 3-3. Trayce Thompson has fallen back to earth.

Pawtucket @ Charlotte Hudson Birmingham--Cassel Winston-Salem--Griffith Kannapolis--Bayne

Bad start for Liriano. 6 innings, 10 hits, 5 runs 5-3 O's, top 7

I think that 50 game mark is just being generous. Yeah, I guess they could have hoped to be 26-25 at the end of May, but that's probably not going to happen. They won't be going 14-7 the rest of the month.

14 K's for Doyle. Too bad he's old for Low-A.

One positive of the rainout--the Twins can't pitch Liriano next Wednesday against the Sox. There was a chance he would have, had he started tonight.

I just want to see Buehrle pitch 7-8 quality innings.

Target Field's first rainout for tonight's game.

I'd definitely fire Walker. And I will admit he might not have anything to do with this. But it doesn't matter. Sometimes you fire a hitting coach just to make a change, and send a message to the team. Beckham--maybe send him to Charlotte for a couple weeks. Let him get some hits, and get his swing back. He's not killing fastballs like he did last year. Maybe a short stint at AAA would be good for him in the long run. On the other hand, this team isn't going anywhere, so maybe just let him work it out here. Ugh, this team is frustrating!

Big Frank will be in the booth with Hawk next weekend in KC.

Brandon Short has the longest hitting streak in professional baseball. 24 games. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...wswafa_frdafa_1

There's something wrong with how I'm set up. I can't put the cursor underneath. It sucks. One of the mods suggested a few things, but nothing has worked. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 6, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) What's with you and the bottom quoting lately.

It was Harry Teinowitz from ESPN 1000. QUOTE (Nokona @ May 6, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) So some journalist got kicked out of the clubhouse the other night? Any ideas who it was?

Great. Now go 40-20 to the break.

Calling him dumb while you have "should of" in the same sentence is ironic. QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 5, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) His dumb ass should of said this months ago. Would have gotten paid pretty decently with another team by now.

Buncha realistic people. QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 5, 2010 -> 03:00 PM) Buncha Twins lovers up in here. Especially that fathom guy

It wouldn't surprise me if the Sox were 9 or 11 games under .500 at the end of May, and the Twins were 16 games over .500. That would put the Sox around 12-13 games back on June 1. That would seal it. QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) It's crazy to think what the situation could be after next weekend.

Ozzie doesn't make that decision. If Kenny wants Vizquel gone, he will be.

Twins win. 19-9..that's their record. Be afraid.

Rauch gives up a lead off homer to Avila 5-4 Twins in the 9th.

Nobody is denying that some deficits have been overcome in the history of baseball. For the most part, getting buried in the first 30 games of the season just means you're a bad team. If the Sox are going to rebound, now is the time...May and June. They have a very tough schedule in the second half. The Sox have 61 games until the Break. They either have to go 39-22, or the season is probably over, because there is no way they'll be more than 10 games over in the second half.
