QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 04:13 AM) Ugly ab Beckham Pretty obvious what's wrong with him at the plate. Seems to be hitting off his back foot and has no momentum going towards the pitcher prior to his swing.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 04:11 AM) On another note, Bill Melton is horrible. My favorite comment by Melton tonight was when he said Viciedo has above average speed

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 03:10 AM) Leury is fast Yes he is. When's the last time the Sox have had someone faster?

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 03:08 AM) Yep. If the Sox win tonight, our magic number stays 9, and the Cubs will be 11. Heck, the Sox could drop to 5th. You don't think the Sox will win the Axelrod/Scherzer match-up on Friday?

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 03:05 AM) Sox will drop to 4th as the last blow of the season If they end up tied with the Cubs, the Cubs get the higher pick, correct?

Ugh, Cubs lose on squeeze play

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 02:59 AM) Only 3 errors tonight. Don't forget the DP that wasn't turned as well, as well as the hit by Dozier that was originally an error

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 02:58 AM) Since when is ERA the only statistic to consider when figuring such a thing? I get that the win stat isn't important, but to me, ERA over the course of a season is about the only thing I care about for a starting pitcher.

Ha, this defense is comical.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 03:53 AM) I tend to agree but the guy have 5 decent pitches. On any given day he could be an ace but otherwise he's a #2-#3 on an average team. Since when is a 4.42 ERA in the NL a #2 or 3 pitcher?

Beckham making Gillaspie's game from last week seem not as awful

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 02:19 AM) More errors Semien needs to be a 2nd baseman

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 01:54 AM) Cubs up 3-1, so that's good for us Tied, that didn't take long for the most overrated pitcher in the majors to blow the lead

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 01:50 AM) GB another error. Just awful

Is Beckham's defense this year considered below average? He certainly seems to have regressed big time in the field.

Is that Melton's breathing that is so audible? Melton with some weird comments made already tonight, and it's only the 2nd inning!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 02:37 AM) Yeah, encouraging. Still has a long way to go with his command, but his stuff is definitely good.

Great outing for Johnson tonight!

What in the heck were the Rangers thinking giving up so much for Garza?

It would be nice if the Cubs win 3 of 4 vs the Brewers

Anyone else hear Farmer state that Micah Johnson was getting called up on Wednesday? Either that, or he's going to the Cell for some reason on Wednesday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 01:29 AM) Agreed. Although you want to get rid of Viciedo and maybe DeAza too, I think we need to give Dayan at least one more season before throwing in the towel on him. Beckham's to the point where he has marginal trade value, at best. DeAza would be a more valuable piece to an equal or greater number of teams, arguably. I don't want to get rid of De Aza at all. He should be the left fielder for this team next year. However, I have a feeling he's the scapegoat for all of this team's execution issues.

Beckham now batting .202 since the ASB. It pains me to say this, but there's really no reason to bring him back next season.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 15, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) So was that a real fumble? yes

should be Bears ball
