White Sox at the Dome for 4 games

[catman]

Could be an interesting week for the AL Central. The White Sox have played well at home and decent ball on the road, but the Twins have a score to settle. 2.5 games back going into tonight's contest with Slowey on the mound. Should be fun.

Twins win 7-0 in game one of a 4 game series. Now 2.5 games back. Tigers lost tonight as well.

Amazing game it was last night.

Denard's first homer and Slowey's second shut out this year. The Sox are absolutely futile when they did not hit a homer in game. According to the game graphic, they were 5-22 or 5-23 when they did not homer in the game.

So looking forward to this game tonight but I'll be at my family's for dinner so maybe I'll catch the game later.

[catman]

I'll be able to watch tonight's game, unless my satellite messes up.

[Izzy]

Some kid will start for the first time tonight for Chicago. It may be a perfect time for the Twins to really take advantage of this kid Richard as Perkins is pitching tonight.

Keys to the game tonight... Small ball game & don't allow home runs, that's when the White Sox can score runs and win games.

[mntwinsfan]

we could be .5 out of first with a win tonight. Any update on the trade front? Also Liriano whats his status? AAA or back to the majors..

[Izzy]

Casilla's not in the line up tonight due to thumb injury. My best guess would be Punto on 2nd, Harris on SS and Buscher on 3rd.

[henks]

Gomez is back in center tonight.

After a single, balk, sac and rbi ground out....Twins down 1-0 heading to bottom of 1.

[henks]

4-6-3 DP to end the first. Twins down 1-0.

[henks]

Perkins gives up a 2 run double...Twins down 3-0 middle of 2nd.

[henks]

Twins go down in order in the bottom of 2.

[henks]

Perkins strikes out Thome with a runner on 3rd to keep a run from scoring.

[mntwinsfan]

but were down 3-0! Whats wrong with Perkins? Lots of deep fly outs.. He needs to keep the ball inside on the Soxs hitters! Damn it lets start to hit the ball.
