No Brent Morel on that list? Does Josh Phegley give anyone hope of this organization producing a decent catcher

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 12:19 PM) We should enjoy this because after this year the immediate future of this team does not look promising. I was thinking the same exact thing. There is no MLB games scheduled in Dec.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:17 AM) This question was already addressed, re:Greg775 I guess I shoulda got a clue and read the forum title. Literacy does wonders. Defintely need a duh! smiley for my post.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 12:16 PM) This is now the AJ motivator thread. Post your false rumors here, upset AJ, And then he will hit a dinger and extend his middle finger to the mud slinger. We need one for Beckham. A test positive doesn't work for him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 12:27 PM) I can give you $10 million reasons why Addison Reed is still closing. and Sox ownership wonders why fans don't show up for games An era of 4.5 for a bullpen guy is horrendous.

Note to Robin: Do not have your most productive hitter of late bunt.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 6, 2012 -> 11:12 AM) classy guy. his confrontation with the fan in Oakland was good stuff too You get what you pay for in baseball I'm not so sure about that.

http://www.motownsports.com/forums/detroit...an-2-out-2.html Sounds so familiar doesn't it? I think the biggest difference for the Sox this year is their hitting with RISP.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:36 AM) Good timing, right when he has a bad start, to lower the backlash I hope the Nationals f***ing crash & burn in the playoffs. Some wish the opposite, so it makes Strasburg expendable.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:46 AM) Yeah, remarkable isn't it? I believe a few years ago there were stories about him having a real good 2nd half after he improved his conditioning during the year. Now we're seeing the opposite. I was wondering since him being somewhat of a young guy, he threw a lot of innings early in his career, if that has something to do with it.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) Strasburg was just officially shut down for the season. More "mental" than "physical" as they said his head wasn't in last night's start. Sounds like the perfect White Sox.

Since there is no need to discuss this anymore, should this thread be deleted and we move on to the AJ appreciation thread?

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 10:06 AM) WHITE SOX still in first! If nobody else wants first, we will take it. Just stay a step Ahead. I think if there was another month and a half, the Royals would take it if they were all divisional games.

Seven straight one-run losses. Pitching staff has given up 20 runs in the last 9 games and and are 4-5. That's not good for them.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 11:10 PM) I think we outta plunk Lorenzo Cain tomorrow. He acted like he hit a game-winning HR in the playoffs after he hit the one in the 9th. We really need to get a little more physical against the Royals. They have no respect or fear for us right now. Yawn. The macho stuff doesn't work when a team is full of p*****s. What was he suppose to do? Copy Captain Konerko's patented sulk?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 11:06 PM) Why should they be pissed. They just have to stay close til that 4 game series cause they kno they can beat us. Right? We should be up by 7 games right now. They have struggled against the Indians and were recently swept by the Royals. They lost a game with Scherzer on the mound who went 8 innings.

It's like a mirror image at motownsports. The difference is the Tigers are pissing away quality starts from the likes of Scherzer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 10:58 PM) Still in first! Nice to see Dotel deliver for us.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) He's better than Verlander right now I agree. There was a lot of pitches Verlander got away with because of a slumping Sox team. Trout is a stud. That was a great at bat vs, Scherzer.

Scherzer still throwing 98 in the 8th. Stud.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) No, it's really not. I think people underestimate how much injuries have killed the depth on this team. There's s team from Detroit with 2 really good starters and best 3,4 combo in baseball and they are the ones playing mediocre.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 10:11 PM) Tigers and Angels 2-2, going to the 8th. Hopefully Angels end it in 9. Their pen is not so good.

What happened to Tim Lincecum this season? Injuries?

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) Maybe morel should have been called up. Lopez was our only option at third. Hudson isn't playing third anymore. If you have Morel, you can use him for defense and could pinch hit for Lopez in a situation like tonight. Morel=3B version of Gordon Beckham. Maybe worse.
