He dint? He dint? Oh yeah, he did!

Sox Update: Tuesday May 31, 2005 belonged to Jermaine Dye on the Southside. Not only did he make a spectacular catch in the field, his solo homer in the top of the 9th wins it, 5-4 over the LA Angels. Say what you will about Dye being a streaky hitter, his defense has been clutch. And he hits when he has to. Thank you KW!

Speaking of good moves by KW, Seattle sent Olivio down to AAA. Meanwhile Freddy Garcia pitches 5 and 1/3rd, striking out, giving up 3 and keeping the Sox in it. Garcia may not have fulfilled his potential (yet) but he was a quality trade.

Since the Twins lost, the Sox entended their lead to 5 games in the AL Central. With the season 1/3rd of the way over, who woulda thunk that the best record in baseball resides at 35th and Shields?

Down On The Farm:

Charlotte (AAA): Whaddya know? a 3-2 win! Some clown named Person keeps the Knights in it by striking out 5 in 6 IP, giving up just 2 ER.

Birmingham (AA): rain out.

Winston-Salem (A): very ugly loss.

Kannapolis (A): Beat Rome 4-1. Again it was the Gonzales twins providing the pop, with Gonzales The Hitter going 2 for 4 with an RBI and Gonzales the pitcher throwing 8 innings of scoreless 1 hit ball, striking out 9.

Baseball phrase of the day: linea n. line drive (in Spanish)

My softball team won fairly easily tonight, 22-7. I had an off night at the plate, going 1 for 4 with a single. But I made some good plays in the field including an unassisted double play on a hot liner up the middle.
