6-4 Twins after 5. Too much time left in this game.

 

Weaver came back out for the 8th after a stressful 7th. Indians got the first two on base. 3-0 Angels, 8th. Go bullpen.

Scott Downs is awesome

That should be an Indians loss. Nice job, Downs.

 

Twins up 6-4, top 7.

Do we really trust the Twins bullpen to get 9 outs before giving up at least 2 runs?

It turns out the rest of the AL Central is just as bad at home as the Sox are.

actually, the Twins bullpen is pretty good this year.

 

they have also pitched about 600* innings already

 

 

*this number may or may not be true.

Going to the 8th, 6-4 Twins

Twins took it to Fister. Might get some help tonight.

 

Fister? Damn near killed her!

Berry, Cabrera, Fielder coming up in the bottom of the 9th.

 

6-4 Twins

Delmon Young on to walk it off...

that was close

I didn't realize Glen Perkins could get it up to 97.

 

 

Great night for the Sox, gain .5 on Tigers and Cleveland

Giddy up.

We gained ground. Four team race.

There's your "healthy" Fister. Completely mediocre.

he didnt throw that hard when he was a starter. but when he moved to the bullpen last he, he started to throw his fastball a little harder. Detroit might have a fast gun, but regularly throws it 95.

Excellent outcomes tonight!

Gotta stop with this whole four team race stuff. It's barely a three team race since nobody is really buying what the Indians are selling...

Lots of disappointed Royals' fans after the Home Run Derby picks were announced...

Cano’s picks went against what he had previously said on June 5. The Yankees slugger was asked by ESPN about the pressure on him to choose a Kansas City guy. He responded: “That’s got to be the right thing. You’ve got to pick one of the Royals players. Because I mean that’s there hometown and that’s where the All-Star Game is going to be so the fans want to see their players there.”

 

Well, I don't think the Tribe or Royals are legit at all, but how legit do you need to be in this contest?

The Indians need to add another bat, especially with Chisenhall out now. Good that we got Youk when we did or we would have had to up the ante in a bidding war between the two teams. They've still got Hannahan though.

 

Will come down to healthy/"good" Hafner, another OF bat (maybe Quentin, Soriano or a healthy Sizemore, yeah, that's unlikely)....Santana needs to pull his head out of his a-- and live up to his immense potential.

 

That Indians' rotation is still short. Same problem with the Royals (for about 15-20 years).

Billy Butler may have broken the record for most doubles in a Home Run Derby.

 

Jokes aside, I think they should have included him, give the KC fans something extra to cheer for. It's not some light-hitting infielder, he has 16 HR this year.

Maz Scherzer scratched from tonight's start (hamstring), Twins to face Duane Be-low instead.

We'll take it!

The SCORE had PECOTA ratings talk yesterday. Sox were at 75 % for the playoffs while the Tigers and Indians were at 30%.

 

If the White Sox can handle the Royals and Twins in the second half the playoffs are very possible.
