fathom Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:38 PM) I don't think anyone would expect them to beat the Angels or Rangers in the Wild Card game. Let's just face it, the Tigers are better, especially with the injury to Danks and the rookies filling up the pen. We will forever be haunted by Escobar, Thornton and Reed from Thursday night's game...and Ventura's inexperience. Sorry, but the team was struggling before that choke job and the Tigers were playing their best baseball of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCangelosi Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 12:38 PM) Turner has one good start this year, one bad start. It's not like he's had a 6 ERA for the entire season. Of course he had no issues with the 7/8/9 of the Sox lineup today, which is about AAA caliber. Why is Flowers starting today? Because he's country strong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was the tipping point. There's no way we would be in the process of getting swept now had they won that game. Friday, yeah...but not Saturday and Sunday, and not with Sale. Can't believe Scott choked away the British Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they won Thursday's game, it was a showdown this weekend of a hot hitting team and a cold hitting team. Also, Porcello has pitched better vs the Sox this year than anyone else.

RZZZA Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm on board with trading some of our defense for offense. A guy like Flowers should not be in this lineup.

caulfield12 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Caesar, what, if anything do you actually enjoy about the White Sox? List 3 things. As far as trading away anyone from our current roster (with the exception of the bullpen)....doesn't make any sense because you're fighting with 5-6-7 teams just for the right to face one of the two best teams in baseball, the Angels and Rangers.
