QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) Garcia comes to mind for me. He was always on when e faced a good team. Hopefully we will be saying this about Chris Sale. (not tomorrow)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) Jack McDowell is probably the closest thing to a "big game" pitcher the Sox have had since I have watched them. Big time. He was another ace that produced team confidence.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 11:23 PM) Don Cooper continues to support Septimo and his 3-6, 2 homers and 5 walks allowed in high leverage situations this year (stat taken from WSI) At some point you have to wonder if there is someone better than Cooper. Plus Sox scouting can't provide a future catcher or 3b. I think AJ and Youk will be here, That's a lot of money invested in old guys but the alternatives are worse. It seems this organization has plenty of OF. So trade there or a veteran for (ugh) prospects.

Why is it that the Sox fold big time against a division rival this century. Games are rarely close.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 10:45 PM) -Youk proved he can hit Benoit - Using Septimo over Veal is a decision that I can't even imagine there being a logical explanation for - Why is Omogrosso being used as the sacrificial lamb against Cabrera? - Not having a lefty warming up in the pen when Omogrosso was facing Cabrera with Prince up next is the type of thing that is inexcusable - Having Santiago throw over 50 pitches after two days rest since his last start where he threw over 90 pitches is absolutely ridiculous With the team struggling and injuries playing a big part, you hope your coaching staff can help you pull out games you probably don't deserve to win. Instead, it's causing the Sox to lose games they have a chance to win. The biggest mystery is there are a two other coaches on this bench and stupid decisions still come about.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 10:47 PM) 535. Man I'm just to frustrated right now. And plus I listened to the 9th on the radio...just to hear Farmer say there is, "no professionalism" in the game now while he b****ed about Valverde for an inning (for the record I can't stand his antics, but don't spend an entire inning of a broadcast b****ing about it) I've met Tiger fans who hate Valverde more than most Sox fans.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 10:40 PM) Robin must have planned a trip to Spain the first week in October. He doesn't want to manage past 10/3. It would be nice if he stuck around and managed this month.

Well, now to watch Oakland turn LA into has beens.

Just another tease after being b**** slapped.

It would be so nice if Youk is back on track

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:20 PM) I want to see Robin change pitchers in the middle of an at bat. I wouldn't rule out an Adam Dunn bunt either.

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) Donny Veal??? Now??? Veal is the Designated Pitcher. The only guy that comes in to face Fielder.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:15 PM) I'm thinking a lot of this is mental. Once it gets to 8-1 and the pressure is off the Sox score a bunch. Now that it's a three-run game and we technically are back in the game, the hitters will be all tight and fail again. The lap dance is over.

I feel like we are getting teased.

One thing for sure, Leyland wont let this game get away.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:07 PM) Well investing in the draft and the international signing period is how they have been able to fill their roster out. They seem to have decent scouts.

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) but isn't that what's so infuriating? Every time we play the tigers i keep asking myself how in the hell are we staying ahead of these guys, they have much better pitching and offense? then we go and sweep NY in NY, and they get swept by KC? The Sox have done the little things much better. Most of the season this is one of the best Sox teams in fundamentals we have seen.

Where do the Tigers come up with all of these guys throwing in the upper 90's.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:01 PM) Can the Sox trade Dunn and then sign David Ortiz If the Sox don't sign AJ, I still believe they'll go with the tandem of Flowers and Kurt Suzuki (once a Sox killer, always a Sox killer) Dunn would be the first guy I would try to trade.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:58 PM) We went through this before fathom but I think Youk is really our best option there. Is there anyone in the minors not named Morel that could be 3 years away?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) No matter what, this has been a positive year. In no way am I giving up on the year, even if the Sox lose tomorrow. Far too many strange things have happened with the Tigers losing to inferior opponents this year, and they also have to face the red hot A's next week. Plain and simple, the Tigers are a HORRIBLE match-up for the Sox this year. 2011 before it was the Twins It's hard for me not to label this organization as mental midgets It would be nice of the games were close instead of total embarassment. I can't rid labeling them mental midgets.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) Like I said before. You dont have a damn clue about whats going to happen. Get over it. Definitely. The Tiger have yet to show any surge. Probably not going to happen this season unless they play us 3 more series.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) I'm just glad we can put serviceable 5th starters out there...that used to be a freaking nightmare and Peavy (knock on wood) finally pitching a full season

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) Why is that good? only from Reinsdorf point of view. Blame the fans when the team sucks. I guess some people outside of the two Sox forums are sick of a decade's worth of mental midget baseball or just not being good enough.
