Jose Abreu

Volquez needs to watch himself. The Royals are clearly in the wrong here. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v3249...lue-jays-royals

At the game. Samardzija was certainly retaliating for Ellsbury pimping the homer.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) Shark has to keep the ball on the ground today.it is crazy windy in Chicago right now. Took my dog for a walk and it was hard to walk. Not a cloud in the sky but showers are in the forecast. Just a 20% chance. And yes, it is very windy. 18 MPH winds heading southwest as of now, and it's supposed to get worse.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 10:35 AM) Padilla just tweeted the lineup card and Beckham and Flowers are listed as only bench players. No Leury Garcia The photo is cut off. Leury is listed at the bottom

My guess is he gets the call tomorrow to replace Carroll or a reliever, as we currently have no backup outfielder, unless you count Leury Garcia.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 12:48 AM) 1st post updated. Just a side note, we are only 4.5 GB from LAA as well Wow, that's pretty crazy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) Christopher Kamka ‏@ckamka 2h2 hours ago John Danks this season in 6 starts vs teams currently in first place: 1.85 ERA in 39.0 IP I wonder how much the CG SHO over Houston is skewing that ERA.

A win tonight would be huge for us.

Viciedo signing makes more sense

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 03:57 PM) Can anybody find the cumulative ERA of position players pitching? I swear it seems like they usually have shutout innings. David Ross had one last week too . I wouldn't say "usually". Leury Garcia and Adam Dunn have a cumulative ERA of 18, for example.

We should call Viciedo up, he kills the Yankees /sarcasm

Time to dust off the old jersey

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 03:47 PM) Good, glad he is back. I assume Shuck will be going on the DL Shuck is on the DL

Missed Shuck's injury. Hope it's not serious.

Here's the first AB. http://m.mlb.com/video/v317986083/nyycws-l...?game_pk=415189

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 11:11 PM) Six runs and Sox lose. That's never a good sign. On almost any given night for us, we'd win easily with 6 runs. Our very good pitching failed us tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) You do realize that's not exactly a good ratio for a pitcher? It's not, but it's not horrible for a #5 starter.

Umpires just wanted to get home. 4 hour game, I get it, but kinda annoyed.

He looked safe on that...

LaRoche with 4 hits AND a scoreless inning pitched? His best game all year.

LaRoche is still laughing and smiling as he steps up to the plate. I've rarely seen him smile all year

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 11:00 PM) Maybe Adam can pitch for Danks instead. Maybe we can have Danks DH Here we go! *grabs popcorn*

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 10:59 PM) He said HIS season. Hard to argue really. Misread, my bad. I'd reluctantly agree, then.
