June 12, 201015 yr Liriano outlasts Hudson. Rauch with the save, striking out Heyward, Jones, and Glaus. 2-1 Twins. 8IP, 5H, 1ER, 0BB, 11K I gotta admit, if the Twins would have lost, I'd be getting a little more excited about the Sox chances to creep back into this thing. That was a quality win for the Twins.
June 13, 201015 yr Braves take the lead on the Twins in the 9th, still hitting. 3-2, 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

June 13, 201015 yr Going to the bottom of the 9th. Braves up on the Twins 3-2, Young, Harris, and Punto due up. Looking good.
June 13, 201015 yr Braves put up a 4 spot on the Twins in the first inning, currently leading 5-0 in the third.
June 13, 201015 yr Hope it stays that way, and the Sox finish off the sweep. If that happens, it will give the fans a little something to get excited about. We need that. June 13 is too early to write off a team within 10 games. And if it's 6.5, it will give the players a little something to get excited about, too.
June 13, 201015 yr Miguel Cabrera continues to be amazing. Best hitter in baseball this year, it seems. Edited June 13, 201015 yr by fathom

June 13, 201015 yr Greinke gets his 2nd win of the year. Struck out 12 as the Royals beat the Reds 7-3. He's 2-8 now.

His ERA is just under 4, which is a lot higher than last year. But no way does it warrent a 2-8 record. I'm sure he's looking forward to free agency whenever that occurs.
June 13, 201015 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:30 PM) Cabrera homers off Dotel. Looks familiar. Yep, and I'm pretty sure those are the only 2 hits he's ever had against him.
June 13, 201015 yr Well, a winner tonight gets us to within 7 games and back into the picture a bit, if you ask me (I know, you didn't). I know many of you are experiencing mixed emotions as we win some games here finally, but I really think if we can get the mojo going a bit here over the next week we can get this season back on track. Of course, our M.O. here will be to win tonight to make it 5 in a row, then lose the next two series' to step back again. Really pumped for the game this evening.

I can't believe some are saying the "worst thing that can happen" is we go on a nice streak to fool management into thinking we're "in it." Please, find another sport if you think winning games in June is a bad thing. I can see August/September if you're hopelessly out of it. But there's still a legitimate chance to get back in this thing.
June 13, 201015 yr 6.5 games in June is more than doable. We just need to rape this IL schedule. Starting with tonight.
June 13, 201015 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 05:59 PM) 6 back in the loss column with a win. Not to mention 13 games left with the Twins.
June 14, 201015 yr Here's a fun article about the Royals flawed approach to Alex Gordon. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/06/...royals.html.php

Then drive him to Chicago and tell him he's going to be loved playing on the south side. Please for the love of God let this man go somewhere. Preferably the White Sox.
