QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) And this ballgame and season are ovah. The Sox will score another 19 tomorrow.

I take it some of you are watching the final nail in the coffin.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) Is it wrong the Tigers will be the first AL team to clinch a division--and it's with 87 wins, while six other teams may end up with 90+ wins? Didn't the Royals and Cardinals win the WS with less?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) Valverde's gonna blow it. Their weakest link in the post season along with their D.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) Cabrera 4-5, .329 Stud. Played hurt against the Sox and still did damage. No excuses for being hurt or tired on that lineup.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) Sox are going nowhere. Fixed. Meanwhile Detroit will still be playing baseball.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) What the **** are you talking about? How do homeruns not drive in runs? The guy leads the entire major leagues in walks -- who cares if they're intentional? Strikeouts don't kill rallies and more than popups and double play balls do. Those walk are gonna decrease and most pitchers don't fear him. K's are disastrous with men on base especially if they are congruent with your batting average. Sp far he's exceed his career high K by 19 and I can guarantee you he's not done yet. But Sox fans are too fascinated with the home run. What's new?

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Great day for Chicago...Sox get eliminated while the Cubs lose their 100th game. How are the Bears doing? If you look at this century, Chicago is the city of choke. The exception is the 2005 Sox were dominant in the post season. They were like the 85 Bears-should've won more.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) I'll root for Detroit. The longer they play, the more innings for Verlander, et. all. Also the more they win, the more they might have a letdown next year. To win the division, we are going to need a replay of this year out of Detroit. No way in hell we'll win enough for a wild card so we gotta win the division. GO DETROIT!!!! Please explain that logic. That was reserved for the Cubs with their flip flop 90 win 90 loss seasons.

I wonder if Alomar will be their manager nest year. I remember the Sox organization high on him.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:05 PM) Albuquerque walks the bases loaded & Francouer cant stay patient at the plate.... They shouldn't have watched all of those Sox games.

Septic Tank Septimo

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) It looks like the offense and team as a whole is making a statement. 11-0 and Tank with a grannie. Love it even if it may be too late. Go out swinging and with pride 1. They didn't get the memo the season is over this week. 2. Over joyed that vacation time is coming. 3. Back to their comfort zone as being the tallest midget.

The Sox are playing like a person who reached the end of a video game and is only playing for points.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) Why even run him out there? For what? He's going to be a free agent so why risk the injury? Why should that be the Sox concern?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 07:48 PM) Tigers wont do s*** in the playoffs anyway. Got decent starters. Cabrera is hot. They could do some damage.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) Late night baseball may eliminate the Angels and Rays. If the A's win tonight, they clinch at least a wild card spot. Yankees will have a 1 game lead with 2 left over the O's. I may watch the As tonight. The could win the division.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 07:07 PM) Peralta just homered off Chen. 1-0 Tigers. Will we survive to fight another day? No. The team has assumed they are out of it. Players actually performing is the indication.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 05:00 PM) Yes, and no, a lot for 2013 depends on Danks and Konerko. We have the flexibility to trade Dunn/Rios/Ramirez/Thornton/Crain/Floyd and go with more youth should we choose to do so. Trayce Thompson and Carlos Sanchez both made huge strides as prospects. If Thompson can succeed at the big league level, that will make up for a lot of the production we're going to lose. That said, 3B continues to be a huge worry (most are now leaning against the YOUK option, but would like to keep him SOMEHOW) and so does Tyler Flowers being the everyday catcher, DeAza playing CF again and Viciedo hitting RHers and Beckham being consistent ever again. Might be the 2nd coming of Adam Dunn. 144 Ks. But 18 SB.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 06:30 PM) Lets not get Dan Johnson fever. If he was a better bet than Konerko, his career up to this point would show it. This is an older player, and there's no mystery about him. Last year it was Viciedo fever. After Anderson was a bust, it was Jerry Owens fever.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 07:42 PM) Except the Sox. we should be use to that by now.

QUOTE (whitesox901 @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 01:06 AM) I actually like having a DH who can hit bombs. I want one who can drive in runs, creates intentional walks, doesn't fan more than his average. HRs look nice on the back of baseball cards. Part of the problem is Kenny probably looks at the back of baseball cards to make decisions.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 12:46 AM) whoops. I dont get your post to be honest....IMO they made all the right moves in the last 2 years. I disagree on the DH by committee unless they get a big bopper that can play multiple positions. Pre Dunn it was pretty clear the sox needed another bopper at the DH. Dunn may have a low average and a low Obp this year but he's been productive, thats what you ask for in a DH, production. I'd be interested in seeing the stats on players coming from the NL to the AL, I think its a bit of a mirage. But they haven't made the right moves. It's over priced mediocrity. Dunn has not been productive for a #3 hitter. His high K rate takes you out of rallies. Pitchers don't pitch around him. History is not good for the Sox signing NL talent because they don't sign the top players.
