They've made it clear Buxton is getting another day, as they've done with most guys coming back from this leave. But the joke is still good.....

The actual joke is them thinking anyone is buying this story. 

"Three days off is too long so we're fixing that by giving him another day."

heh

I wish they would give Buxton at least 10 days off.

[MABB1959]

Dang!  Starting out with 2 strikeouts sucks!

Sad but true.  That is one way to increase the odds of winning

Dick: "It looks like, at least in the short term, they're here to stay."

Heh

Gallo gone on 3 pitches. I'm not at all  gobsmacked. 

[CRF]

Looking good, Gallo!

[RpR]

Why do the Twins NOT swing at first pitch strikes?

[RickOShea]

Concerning Gallo.  You can't strike out as often and as easily as he does without it being a mental issue.  With any luck, he should at least make contact more often than he does.

I'm not at all gobsmacked that you are not at all gobsmacked.

He's got to be DFA after this weekend. 

[Parfigliano]

I was hoping they would leave the K's behind this series.

[Tlaker]

Anyone know the Cleveland score? I am hoping to be gobsmacked!

Twins lead 5k to 1k

[USAFChief]

Pretty disappointed in Kirilloff there. 3-1, gets beat by a fastball, then swings through ball four.

2-0 Chisox, 6th

[RickOShea]

I wayched cleveland-chicago last night/  The Sox looked like they're whipped puppies.  Just going through the motions and not playing fundamentally sound.

He definitely hasn't looked very good at the plate in recent games.

6th K in 10 outs.  Pathetic.

[Mike Sixel]

No, that's how the White Sox have been playing all season.

Several aren't strikes in real life, either.
