I was curious to see what the mood would be in the visitors clubhouse following last night’s loss to Toronto. I anticipated some frayed nerves following the latest blown lead.

But there really wasn’t. Glen Perkins wasn’t pleased with his outing. Denard Span was a little bummed. But Justin Morneau’s position was like, `That’s O.K. We’ll just win tomorrow.’

I guess that’s the best way to put some of these tough losses behind them. I’m sure the mood would have been different if the White Sox were pulling away. They aren’t. There are 24 games left and we’re waiting to see which team will go to the whip first.

How do you think White Sox fans are feeling these days? The Twins have tormented them for most of this decade, and are at it again. They are sick of reading about the lovefest on the North Side. And I spoke with a scout last night who believes that Chicago’s bullpen is hanging on by a thread.

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen doesn’t want the division to come down to Sept. 23-25 at the Dome.  But that might be unavoidable.

The Twins need to make the White Sox pay for losing games. These last two games are huge, and they can’t afford to trail after six innings because Toronto’s bullpen is formidable.

By the way, the Twins coaches really worked Jason Pridie hard in the outfield before Tuesday’s game, almost as if he may see some action before this series is over. We’ll see.

HOUSEKEEPING NOTE

I can’t read every post here. When I come across one that’s offensive or contains foul language, I either edit it or delete it.

I also don’t like posters posing as other posters. Someone yesterday posed as someone else AND used foul language. That person is being dealt with.

I’d like to see us stick to witty baseball discussion here but I’m fully aware that there will always be a few knuckleheads involved. I just wanted to let you know that I’m on the lookout for offensive posts, but can’t get to them all.

Oh, I also has some serious connectivity issues yesterday. The wireless connection here is terrible. I had a technician hovering over me the first two innings as we tried to solve the problem. I never posted the Blue Jays lineup. Sorry.

Once the roof closed after the game, the connection was fine. I may root for rain today…
