QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 07:21 PM) 7 straight retired...Konerko with a terrible at bat. Complimented with bad at bat by Dunn.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) My only guess is that we're out of money. Which I think is a reasonable guess. He still probably could've added a serviceable arm for cheap though. I would think it was more about wanting a player. Money? Probably not.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) I just hope they let Santiago start Sunday...he deserves another shot. Meanwhile, the White Sox offense doesn't respond at all to the crooked number. It's hack time and poor plate discipline.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 07:02 PM) They're laughing in Detroit. They're still losing.

It looks like the offense is back. Hopefully this isn't a game they decide to mail in. They can still win this.

On the bright side that Sox have a better winning % when Quntana doesn't have a quality start.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) There's just no way they can start Quintana against the Tigers next week. If they pull him now....

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 06:48 PM) I'm of the opinion he needs to be shut down, and Stone seems to agree with it. They need Floyd back real soon.

Yankees are picking a bad time and opponent to lose to.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 06:09 PM) Almost nobody in the bleachers tonight. Lots of empty seats (rare sight) in Detroit as well. We are bad fans. Some public schools started today in Mich.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 05:54 PM) It would be hilarious if the Sox built up another 2-3 game lead before facing Detroit again next week. Just as long as they don't let the Royals ruin that. I still think Kenny should have gotten Chen and ship him to Charlotte and never be heard of again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 08:08 AM) And it's the third or fourth start he's made in a season against the same team... The advantage usually shifts to the opponent the more times you see a pitcher, unless he's absolutely on that day in terms of stuff or command. And Peavy's pitches just aren't as crisp as they were the first half. Same with Sale and Quintana. So in about 20 years the Sox should be able to hit Verlander. I can't buy into that statement 100%.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 07:10 AM) Actually Belle held up his end of the bargain, plus he did the Sox the solid of opting out of his deal and signing elsewhere just in time for his hip to give out. That 1998 season is one of the best offensive seasons in White Sox history. He still holds the records for most HR and RBI in a season, as well as best SLG in a full season. (Thomas was better in 1994) I couldn't remember that far back but was it rare they were both in the lineup at the same time? I thought one or the other would go on the DL.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) Peavy has been fantastic this year and has truly been jobbed out of quite a few wins. Between the team scoring very few runs in quite a few of his good games and the bullpen blowing some big leads, he's been completely robbed of a good # of victories. He needed and needs to step up in big games. 1-3 vs. Tigers. Way too much hype over Peavy the competitor. Still I would like to know how many of his games the pen has blown. Shouldn't he be like 14-9 if it weren't for the pen?

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 05:40 PM) Trout is having the best rookie season in history. He's like eating good pizza while boning a supermodel. I expected 270/20/70/300 from Viciedo with awful defense. Next year, I'd expect 280/25/85/325 while continuing to play good defense. It's not impossible that Trout could be a Gordon Beckham next season. I think fans' expectations going back to last year of Viciedo was not very realistic. When was the last time the Sox had a good arm in LF? One team has a Trout be we have a Sale.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 05:31 PM) 2-0 Cleveland I can see why Tiger fans panic. Falling behind early seems to be the Tiger's MO.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 07:52 AM) f***ing awesome. Keep it up Q.

Kinda weird with stats of 5 IP, 1 ERA. I feel like we are a NL club with those numbers. Like we had to take him out for a PH to increase the lead.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) You guys see him more than me, but watching the vids from the game did Gordon looked a lil more crouched today? In his last at bat he started to revert back to the other one.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 07:02 PM) Konerko is known to be a streaky player. plus he's getting old. Almost as old as the what's wrong with Konerko threads. Every time he slumps people think he's hurt.

Funny quote from the Tiger's forum. The political forum would look like kindergarten compared to the reaction that a $13 million Delmon Young contract would bring. and there's this one Congratulations to the 2012 Chicago White Sox

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 06:53 PM) I know the Giants aren't the cleanest, most likable team out there. But I'm glad the Dodgers aren't going to buy their way to a division win. 5 back with 27 left. That's a lot this late.

OK now what are we gonna b**** about? Anyone see Caesar lately?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) Game over. Almost took TOO much time there, but was patient enough to wait for the play to develop instead of rushing the throw to 2B. Back in first place again. This feels familiar. When did we get back in 2nd?

Does Reed have an off speed pitch?
