Today will be a big night to help determine the direction of the Sox as they travel to Baltimore to face the Orioles. Sure, these may not be the Orioles, of, say, last month, as Baltimore has fallen into fourth place in the AL East. The Sox send out El Duque to counter Erik Bedard.
The big news today, however, was the announcement that Frank Thomas would miss the rest of the season with the injured general ankle/foot region. It will be interesting to see if Thomas is moved to the 60 day DL near the trade deadline to open up a 40-man roster spot for any possible acquisiton.
Lineups will be up as soon as I get them.
