We need some magic from the bottom of the order.

I think they just had Hal McRae on an "Our Time" commercial on the Royals' network here. If so, it's about time. McRae was a stud player for the Royals.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:36 AM) Thank you! You'd think this was Game 7 of the ALCS and we all bet $50k on the game... Sale was great that half inning. He musta not warmed up correctly or something. It would be nice to bash Hochevar second time through the order at least.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:34 AM) That was just a bizarre inning for Sale. I know the walks killed, but nothing was hit hard against him. Hosmer hit one about 30 feet, and Falus ball couldn't have been thrown into the OF any better. How many times do leadoff walks kill a pitcher, however?

QUOTE (kapzk @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:33 AM) Just when the pitching needs help the offense packs the bag and disappears It would have been nice to get the three back right away. Instead, Sale is right back out there after that disastrous inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:27 AM) Yep, he needs to trust that change-up against righties. He threw one good one that inning, so hopefully he gets a good feel for it as the game goes on. Doubtful he goes more than five innings at 45 pitches already.

That was huge. If that ball clears the fence or hits the wall, this game woulda been OVA. At 3-0, we can hope the ump squeezes Hoch as well and the bats are firing tonight.

I hope Hochevar gets squeezed as Sale did and I hope Luke lives up to his 9.00 ERA. 41 pitches and counting.

38 pitches and counting. Wowsie.

We can make excuses for Sale and the crowd tonight. Crowd: It's cold and rainy. Sale: Ump sucks. Beckham f***ed up. Royals with dink hits.

Sale might throw 50 pitches this inning. Wow. He's at 30 now.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:18 AM) Wow, can it start to rain again? That was Knoblauch-esque It also was Alan Bannister-esque.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:15 AM) This ump squeezing Sale. Baseball needs to fire all the umpires and rehire them on their own terms. If it's legal to do so. The strike zone is a disgrace to the sport.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:12 AM) He's around the zone...it's not like he's throwing it to the f***ing backstop. Sox were creeping too close to .500. Due to get boatraced tonight. Sale has nothing. Yikes.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:10 AM) Oh get out...he's fine... He's wild as hell.

Better get somebody up. He's not right.

QUOTE (Cali @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) 3 strikes in a row called balls... jeez I do hate umpires. They invented their own strike zone as a big middle finger to baseball.

Sale wild as hell on the cold night. That walk will turn into a double. Dyson fast.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:00 AM) Well, i guess you thought Juan Pierre was OK out there last year...so this does make sense... Seriously, alternate him and Konerko with offdays. The way Dunn is hitting, though, it would be awesome to see him get three games worth of at bats that series. Certainly he'd hit at least one monster bomb.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 12, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) Say what you want but I still think Pods can help a team Glad to see another Pods lover. I don't understand when Sox fans mock their own. The guy is a White Sox to be remembered through and thru.

QUOTE (Cali @ May 12, 2012 -> 06:30 PM) No reason not to rock Hochevar. NONE. He's been so bad teams have been going up there very aggressive swinging at every pitch shelling him. Should be interesting to see if that attack works tonight. As we all know, sometimes the Sox being too aggressive results in a batch of pop ups and easy innings.

I'd definitely play Dunn over Viciedo in left during the Cub series in Wrigley. Can you imagine the bombs he is going to hit if the wind is blowing out? Did he hit any monumental shots in Wrigley as a Red?? Surely this year's skinnier version of Dunn can handle LF. Dayan isn't doing squat yet. DUNN FOR LF IN THAT SERIES!

Somebody should do a video of the good Beckham of the last several games so we can look at it if/when he gets in a major funk again. I'd love to see highlight video of all his hits after all those outs.

DeAza is a cool name and it's short, why would he need a Da Da? It's DeAza.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 11, 2012 -> 01:20 AM) ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN are all blatantly pro-Democrat. A lot of people think the media is easy on Obama except for radicals like Limbaugh who don't really count. I can't see why any Republican would want to run against him and get land-slided.
