The news just keeps getting better and better. First Batista is sent down (basically released) and now Castro was traded. Do you think Rondell White sees the handwriting on the wall yet? He can’t be feeling very comfortable right now.

Twins Sweep Boston

I was actually able to watch the game last night. It’s hard because I don’t have the MLB Extra Innings package and in my part of Montana I’m cosidered part of the Rockies home area. Thus, not very many AL games are shown on TV here unless they are part of the ESPN coverage.

Carlos Silva was on the mound against the knuckle thrower, Tim Wakefield. Silva almost looked decent last night. He still isn’t really striking that many out but he basically got the job done. It also helped that Big Papi dinged one off a speaker in the roof of the dome. The way Ortiz hit that shot last night, if it hadn’t hit the speaker it may have punctured the roof of the Dome. That hit was a rocket.

Right now the Twins are on 4 game winning streak and head to Pittsburgh to face a very beatable Pirates squad. With two of the matchups featuring Francisco Liriano and Johan Santana, it should be a good series. I fully expect to win at least 2 and if Boof Bonser does what he’s supposed to, three is within grasp.

Oh, forgot to say this. Castro was replaced on the roster by Ruben Sierra. Guess you can’t have everything.
