Bad News

The Twins lost 1-0. Morneau made a very dumb baserunning play trying to stretch a single to a double. I did not see it but I am told that it wasn't even close.

The worst news is that Liriano is hurt again. There is some talk of "Tommy John" surgery but we don't know for sure yet.

If it is Tommy John surgery it means he will miss all of next year but will come back as good as or better than before. Otherwise I expect him back next spring. We just don't know yet.

Ths Sox gained a game on the Twins but the Tigers lost. No ground was gained there. The Twins are still at an 80% chance of making the playoffs. So don't lose hope.
