QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:09 PM) If the Sox don't make the postseason, it will be a very interesting offseason. In my stupid opinion, I don't think we see Youk, Peavy or AJ back if that happens. OH I think the opposite. This season wasn't suppose to be this way. You're close to a division and been fighting injuries with the pitching staff. Definitely not Peavy and hopefully they get something for Adam Dunn.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:05 PM) There's nothing to do but laugh anymore. Why get upset or frustrated? Pointless. I kinda makes you feel like a Northsider with the consistent choke jobs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:59 PM) Or the catcher/coaching staff has no faith in being able to block a pitch in the dirt with a man on 3rd Good point. I believe that was a reason why Jenks was using his curve less and less. AJ couldn't catch it.

A gift there

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:56 PM) He's been very good this year, all things considered. Garcia wasn't touching an offspeed pitch from him. Yep. Kids get too confident in their 99mph fastball and forget major leaguers can hit those.

Nate Jones is on my mental midget list.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:49 PM) If they can't win at home against bad teams in September, they're cooked. It's hard to imagine beating DET 3/4 with how things are going right now against the Tigers. Look at the Sox stats in 4 game series. Owned!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:44 PM) Not unlike Peavy in the 7th last night. I had no problem with Peavy starting. He's suppose to be an elite pitcher and if he wants that big money next season, he needs to earn it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:46 PM) Uribe's best days are long gone So are Beckham's. Plus Uribe can play 3 positions.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:44 PM) Nice call Robin. Let's let him get smacked around hard just one last time before we call it a day. He deserves the chance to do that. It's terrible how a weak hitting lineup makes the starting pitching look worse than it is.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:42 PM) Great call, and it's why it seems so hard for him to hit line drives the left field. Reminds me of the old Rios. Kenny needs to bring in some competition for 2nd in Spring training and see if it will light a fire on his ass. I think that's part of the problem. Too bad Uribe wasn't on waivers.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:38 PM) lol gordon lol Hes been abysmal for three years now. But yeah, he'll turn the corner any day now. The sad thing is that was one of the better at bats by the Sox this whole game. His batting stance sucks. Looks like he his leaning back on his heals.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:28 PM) Cabrera and Prince with insane OPS numbers since the ASB. Looking at all the numbers for the Tigers, it makes no sense why they haven't run away with things since the ASB. Gotta be their defense. Also lack of production from the 5th spot.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:28 PM) Rios is batting .300 vs righties. We don't need power from Lexei. He's on an 11 game hit streak as well I think. Both are hitting over .300 with RISP. It was a bummer when Alexei popped up last night. Stink spreads on this team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:22 PM) Well, Sox need someone to step up (besides Flowers/Axelrod). Everyone else has seemingly taken the week off. I trust Sale more than anyone on this team to go out there and perform well. Too bad they can't rely on the Cy Young winner. I'm afraid Sale is going to try to over pitch in this situation.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:19 PM) Cy Young could have started for the White Sox and it still wouldn't matter because the offense can't score against Scherzer or get a hit with RISP. Still 0 for the series in a game and a half in that category. Not unlike the Tigers in KC. Thanks to Dyson and Cain, or the Sox would be looking at trailing the Tigers in the standings after tonight by 1 game instead of still ahead by 1. 2 runs are like 7 when the team isn't hitting.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:18 PM) Can we get a rain out tomorrow please? That would be ideal...more rest for Sale especially. Somehow I get the feeling that would backfire. I totally hate the idea of putting a 1st year starter in this position.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:16 PM) It happened to the Twins against the Sox in 2008...the Tigers the following season against the Twins. It's not ONLY the White Sox. And let's face it, the Tigers have a lot more talent, overall, than the White Sox. I would say that would be the other way around.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:08 PM) The Sox are mentally weak. They do this always. They let teams get inside their heads. It isn't surprising at all. That's hard to ignore. I guess there is no stat to prove this. To me that labels the Sox of the 21st century. Manuel, Guillen and possibly Ventura can't fix that.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) I still wouldn't mind keeping Liriano around next year, but I wouldn't pay much for him. It will be better for Coop to work with a guy in ST than after the trade deadline.

Why is it that the OF always seems way out of position?

Liriano era over 6 at Comerica.

Put the ball in play and wait for a Tiger's mistake.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 05:47 PM) Play like game like a playoff game. If he gives you 5 good innings, you hope the pen can win it for you. I can't recall the last time the Sox did this. Maybe the last two weeks of 05.

Let's swing at the first pitch.
