QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 6, 2013 -> 03:38 AM) The important thing down the stretch is the production of our future pieces. If we lose, I want to lose with our talented young players doing well (and our pitchers kicking ass)...basically exactly like we have during the losing streak. And if we win...I don't mind when it is against teams like the Yanks! And if the Astros lose I couldn't agree more about how the losses have been "pleasant" due to the pitching performing so well. It would be nice to see Phegley look better at the plate down the stretch.

Just got home...Hawk with some negative remarks about Phegley's approach

Even if found guilty of this, would Manziel keep the Heisman? It seems like he would be able to.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 5, 2013 -> 12:53 AM) With the way this season has gone, you can't even be surprised that his "comeback" is in Chicago. With the way this season has gone, the 3 players that no one knows about will end up being Sale, Garcia and Rios.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 11:47 PM) I'm guessing those three new names must not be anything exciting because there hasn't been much/any speculation as to who they are On twitter yesterday, TJ Quinn said a source told him that they weren't major names.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 5, 2013 -> 12:17 AM) Simon Castro's last four batters: LHB HR, RHB fly ball to warning track in LF, LHB HR, RHB 2B He's just awful. Hopefully for his sake he's injured and will find that fastball again.

Axelrod and Flowers continue their audition for independent leagues. Axelrod's Sox career has to be over soon.

Jacobs has to have 3 or 4 sac flies already with Birmingham

Iglesias' defense is unreal

Real nice catch by Danks there. Would have been quite funny if Jhonny had the walkoff hit.

Alexei...he could easily end up being a very good utility player as he gets older.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) I would have liked Iglesias if he was the second best player in the deal Agreed, as it would have given them more flexibility to unload Alexei.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 07:20 PM) It's not to me when there is no chance that it is spent How do you know that?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 07:19 PM) 15 mil off the books is value...at least to me. Especially with Viciedo available to fit in at DH

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 08:17 PM) On the bright side, ADA has correctable errors. You can't fix what is wrong with the likes of Paulie And to that, I think we can all say that thankfully, his contract is up after this year. I can't imagine how it would be on here if PK had another year left on his deal.

This is a game the Sox should probably be up 5-2. It's pretty amazing how awful the offense/execution is.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 07:13 PM) We'll see. I know he normally likes to deal with things quietly but that one is pretty bad Especially if you're bunting with Alexei to play for that one run.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 07:12 PM) What'd I miss? This sounds fun... ADA on 3rd base, Rios hits a hard liner to CF that Jackson catches standing up. ADA looked to be about halfway towards home before he realized it would get caught, and he wasn't able to tag up. Hawk is incredibly pissed off.

Wow, how does no one get fired for this? Shouldn't Ventura bench De Aza for that if he wants to send a message?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 07:00 PM) Anderson 2-4, double Jacob May's been hitting much better of late too

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 08:01 PM) What channel is that on ? Haha, awesome

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 06:58 PM) Terrible throw by Beckham Rios looked like he had concrete shows on

Oh darn

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 06:56 PM) He lost it in one inning in that 1st start, seems to be doing it again. Looking at his minor league numbers, his walks is the biggest concern with him. With that said, it sure seems to be injury-related right now.

Rienzo showing a real nice ability to pitch up in the zone when he wants to. His finger is definitely causing him some issues right now.
