And the White Sox Finish the First Half at the Dome

[catman]

Who pitches for the Twins is anyone's guess. Perkins has been declared out for the series, I understand.
I would think that tomorrow it would be Blackburn v. Danks,
Saturday, Baker v. Floyd
Sunday, Swarzak v. Buehrle.

Tonight's game was a nice change from the New York series. The Twins jumped out to a 4-0 lead and picked up another couple of runs after the Sox tied the score. Blackburn got the win, Octavio Dotel took the loss. Guerrier and Nathan pitched perfect innings to finish off the 6-4 win.

It appears that Perkins will make tomorrow's start. Hopefully, he will be on.

The Twins took another series after losing yesterday's game. Baker didn't have his best stuff, but it appears that Buehrle was pitching BP to Span, Harris and Gomez, all of whom homered off him. Morneau was 2/5 with a double and Mauer was 0/5 with 4 Ks. Obviously, he didn't see the ball as well today. Personal observation here -- I think Mauer hits better when he catches the game. He seems to have trouble as a DH, at times.
Bobby Keppel allowed his first run of the season today as well. I guess he is human after all.

Twins finish the first half of the year above .500 for the 6th consecutive year.

I hope they play better in the 2nd half of the season now. All signs point toward them doing just so.
