Not Too Bad as Sox Win Game/Series With 6-2 Win Over Twins (Game 34, '08)

It would have been ideal had the White Sox swept the Twins to reclaim their spot in first place in the American League Central, but winning the series against their division rivals is not too bad.  Good to see Jermaine Dye's bat getting hot again.  His plate presence looks different, perhaps 'showing the swagger' as the slogan for '08 says.  He is taking good, authoritative swings on the ball.  John Danks pitched well again, giving up just 2 earned runs on 6 hits in 5 innings.  Dotel's stuff looked electric, and he too appeared to regain the 'swagger' if you will, as he pitched with authority and confidence. 

This long west-coast road trip will be quite a challenge for the White Sox, and we shall see what this team is made of after this trip I think.  I know the White Sox don't do well traditionally on the West Coast, and the 4 games against the Angels I think will be an especially difficult test.  Still, hopefully the White Sox will get comfortable in Seattle, as I read several of them like Safeco Field best of all the ballparks where they play during any given year.  It will be a late one tonight, but hopefully they will start things off with a win.
