Major League Debut

Geez, we're already 7 games back of the Tigers.

Well, just 1 game back of a wild card.

In to wipe away the memory of last nights abortion

The quest to climb back over .500 starts tonight. YAY!

I expect a shutout tonight.

Not gonna happen

Yeah but from which team.

Andre " Cy Young" Rienzo goes for the Sox tonight

My prediction: a hilarious blowout win. 16 hits, 3 home runs, White Sox have 2 errors, final score 11-2.

win tonight 10-3 lose tomorrow 1-0 lose the series. Salvador Perez with 2 passed balls and concussion. Vanilla Harvey falls again tripping over first.

The game of chicken between the Red Sox and Stephen Drew is finally over. Red Sox blinked and signed him for $10MM.

They won't get the draft pick they would have if Drew signed elsewhere, but Drew has made it clear by now that he was going to wait till after the draft anyway. Red Sox also can't extend a QO to Drew after this season.

Gio has been sent down to Omaha.

Also called up Francisco Pena, son of Tony, as a backup catcher.

Thought that homerun in Seatle Mendy Lopez'd his stay longer at the big league level.

Well he is an AAAA type player.
