Twins-Royals starts tonight

Probably irrelevant in the big picture, but a win by KC and they'll only be a half game behind the Tigers, as sad as that is.

 

[grandy]

What an amazing loss tonight.

If it's any consolation, the White Sox are getting their asses handed to them by Toronto.

 

[grandy]

As of the time of this posting, the kittens are now tied with the Royals.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well the sox lost 2 in a row... To bad we stink and can't even win when we score 6 runs...

 

[grandy]

Updated before the conclusion of this riveting Detroit-Cleveland series.

Minnesota currently has the best record among AL Central teams in the month of June with 4-2.

Detroit salvages one from the Indians

KC and Minnesota off tonight

ChiSox trying to avoid a sweep tonight

AL Central vs NL Central this weekend

 

[Mitchrapp]

Detroit needs their mostly patented NL beat down.

[Mitchrapp]

'06-'08 was domination.

 

[grandy]

'06-'08 was domination.

If I remember correctly, 06 was just complete domination by the AL in general. I'll check on that though.


Edit: Yes it was

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/history/interleague/records.jsp

AL was 154-98 that year

 

[biggunsbob]

Freaking Sox win tonight...4-3... 15-4 the last 19 games... We dream about a stretch like that...

With the O-dog getting the game winning RBI.

Could've had him...but we're stuck with the Santiago/Worth/Raburn shit show...

Could've had him...but we're stuck with the Santiago/Worth/Raburn shit show...

Well I think he is hitting way under .200 but my feeling is a veteran presences at second base may help Prince.. A veteran could tell prince to stay home I will get to most balls hit that way... I don't think worth or Santiago would say anything to Prince.. Plus this winning for the Sox started when they signed Hudson. I think DD should at least tried to get him..

Hudson hitting .188 in 15 games with CHW. Three errors.

 

[grandy]

All AL Central teams off tomorrow.

 

[grandy]

Cleveland and Chicago lost tonight to go with our win.

Updated

Tigers could find themselves 4 back after tonight

 

[biggunsbob]

Hopefully this is the start of a big turnaround for us..
