They will be the first ones to cheer when the Sox clinch the division

It's been a long time since I just knew one of our guys was going to lash a hit like I (and all of you) knew Young was going to mash in that situation. He just exuded confidence and studliness on that at bat. He knew he was going to come through.
It's gotta be the mustache

The rest of this game figures to be one big party in Detroit. How quickly things change. Everybody in Motown hated that team after the KC series. Now they'll be WS contenders in the eyes of their people.
Enjoy it while they can, because they won't make the playoffs.

Great, let one of the most despicable people in baseball kill us this series. The pitch calling continues to KILL the White Sox.
That wasn't a bad pitch. Props to Young

They are just more talented. Plus the Sox have teeny tiny little nuts
Except for Tank. He has huge Cuban nuts.
QUOTE (Real @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:50 PM)
yeah we are gonna get walk-off swept, the worst kind of sweep, hope these guys are ready for even fewer fans at home
Yup, I don't know why ESPN is even showing the rest of the game

I hope they bump Kenny up to president and give someone else a chance to build a competent offense. Since the first half of 06 it's been slim pickings.
2008 - 6th in MLB in runs scored

Im going to start drinking heavily soon. Who wants to join me?
I opened a Big Hurt Beer tallboy as the game started and haven't stopped since.

I like it actually. Cant screw around.
Maybe they should have called it off after the first foul, but you gotta take some chances against Nolan Ryan Jr.
QUOTE (RZZZA @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 07:31 PM)
We had such a good start, being patient and making Verlander throw lots of pitches. Now we're back to being 0-2 three seconds after stepping up to the plate.
That's AJ/Flowers/Alexei for you. The guys at the top of the order are just more patient hitters.
QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 07:25 PM)
He's throwing 4-5 mph slower than usual. He's not going to get away with 89 mph fastballs all night.
He's just saving it up for later in the game, Verlander style.

Pirates aren't going to go 10-20 the last 30, are they?
Last year they lost a 19-inning game in late July, then went 19-42.
Two weeks ago they won a 19-inning game, but are 3-9 since.
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 07:08 PM)
2nd time this season DeAza has led off a game in Detroit with a homer.
I think its his 2nd homer off Verlander too
