Wet...sooo wet

So wet

Sox update: A rain-shortened game doesn't give the pen a chance to blow this win - Sox win 6-4 over the Toronto Blue Jays and move into first place (finally!). sPods came back and went 2 for 3 with a stolen base. Dye homered again (hey, he's streaky), and Thome hit homer #7. Garcia was barely good enough to win this one. Uribe is still out with a minor injury. And Mack got the start in CF in place of the slumping rookie Anderson. Tomorrow is half price 'fight night' at the ol' ballyard vs KC. Some good seats were still available as of friday.

DOWN ON THE FARM:

Charlotte (AAA): Redding gets roughed up by Pawtucket, giving up 6 ER in just 5 2/3rds IP, and the Knight go on to lose, 10-3.

Birmingham (AA): the Barons lose ugly, 10-0 to Tennessee. Liotta gives up 4 ER in 3 and 2/3rd IP. Collaro sat out again- hope he's OK.

Winston-Salem (High A): Kinston scores one in the bottom of the 9th to win it, 3-2. Otherwise, uneventful.

Kannapolis (Low A): Despite committing just one error, the Intimidators still find a way to lose to Rome, 8-1.

More bad news for music lovers. From the Arts section of sunday's Tribune, Chicago area public radio station WBEZ will shed itself of all music programming by 2007. While that does not include the pop critic show Sound Opinions, it does include all the wonderful jazz music, Blues Before Sunrise (which I first listened to in high school, 20 years ago), "Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland" (a sunday morning staple) and Afro-Pop Worldwide. I encourage anyone who has ever donated money to these idoits not to sent them another cent... EVER! Don't bother writing a letter, it won't do any good. At least WDCB is there to pick up the slack.
