This is a different team without Morneau. Kubel and Cuddyer are seem so much less intimidating without his presence and you know Morneau is most likely not going to take you deep. I like the pitching matchups in each of these games, but I simply cannot believe the Sox will sweep. |

Pretty tense game last night. > Huge that John Danks nutted up after that 6 run inning - the Twins had to go into the bullpen early and the Sox didn't. That's a big deal in a 4 game series. > Rios gaffe in CF hung Danks out to dry. > Mauer is a witch. > Jim Thome is a great example of a guy who played one year to long - his bat speed is gone and when you're a power hitter that can't hit a fastball - no gouda. > Just watching Beckham's body language tells the story that he's turning the corner on this trainwreck first half of the season. What the hell are they going to do with Teahen when he returns? > 9 in a row .... that's just incredible. If they could win this series - they really put Minnesota in a tough spot. This is actually a bigger series for the Twins than for the Sox. |

Dayan Viciedo could be the White Sox answer to Kevin Youkilis, playing first and third from time to time, with Teahen possibly headed back to the outfield just like in Kansas City when he's fully healthy. |

I think the Sox are more likely to remain with the veterans. Kotsay has been hitting better (although he still plays too much) and Jones does provide solid defesne off the bench. |

Do you picture Viciedo, Brent Lillibridge or perhaps lefty Erick Threatt going back to Triple "A" when Teahen returns likely in August? |

As much as I wouldn't mind seeing Jones go, he is the only true backup outfielder on the team. |

Unless Viciedo is part of a trade I think it will be Lillibridge. Threets will be sent down when Chris Sale is ready. He was promoted to triple A yesterday. |

It probably comes down to Lillibridge or Viciedo. BD, it's a good problem to have, but I've liked what I've seen from Viciedo in very limited at-bats. I think you'll see him in the lineup this eve vs. Francisco Liriano and the Twins. Even before Teahen broke his index finger, you may have noticed less of #23 at third in favor of Omar Vizquel late in games the White Sox were in position to win. Vizquel, for his age, has improved the defense at third since Teahen went down. |

What say you to that, Shark? |

The Sox are getting the best Lillibridge has right now. I think they have to ride that for a while. When he returns to normal, and I expect that to be soon, he will be the one designated. He does not have options and someone will pick him up, like they did Nix. |

GD, Jayson Nix was claimed by the Indians, and now has 7 homers playing second base for the A.L. Central cellar dwellers. |

I don't know if it was intentional, and I've rewound it a few times, but It looked like Jim Thome gave a nice fist pump right in the direction of the Sox dugout as an "in your face"...but I could be reading into it too much... |

I understand the Sox will lose games from time to time, but that game against the Twins just can't happen if they are to win the division. Jenks just does not instill confidence in me at all. |

I find them both only tolerable when they have inside information about their specific sport. |
