Kinda funny that, all things being equal, Huff would probably be the one shipped out right now. Ryan Raburn and Clete Thomas would like to stay on the roster.

He hit that ball right on the screws, and I jumped out of my seat thinking it was a RBI single to right when it left his bat. Yeah that was atough break for Huff.

Rodney came through again, albeit with a little help from Polanco. I like that Rodney went after the Oakland hitters tonight. No walks, no falling behind 3-0 or 3-1 to hittters. Good stuff tonight. Clete with another clutch knock, it is really easy to like that kid. He plays good defense and has gotten some timely hits for us this year (grand slam vs. the Angels, the walk-off HR vs. BALT, yesterday's walk-off single, and of course tonight's clutch knock to give us that very important 3rd run).

Rodney has been absolutely huge this year... Let's win this series because I'm not confident at all about the Angels series... ChiSox have a tough stretch coming up too though. 3.5 game lead.
