QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 03:14 AM) I actually liked the line up. There was more speed. If they get on it exposes that Tiger D. But you have to get on base. Yep, like Flowers trying to steal Still can't believe the lack of bunting. It will be interesting if Hawk/Stone comment on it tomorrow.

Against righties, Dan Johnson needs to be playing every game with Dunn out.

What were the Sox 2-3-4-5 hitters this series as compared to the Tigers? That was the difference this weekend.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 04:04 AM) Good thing we had Myers close the game because we can afford a $10M 7th/8th inning righty out of the pen last year. Was Dayan not available to PH for Hudson there?? Hudson hit it hard, no problem with him getting to face Valverde after he hit him hard last night.

So two freaking bunt attempts at Cabrera after Friday's debacle. Just stupid baseball all weekend.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 03:01 AM) Rios is having a good year because he's covering both sides of the plate. btw, when you "stay on top of it," it doesn't mean to pull the ball like you're asking for. For a few weeks, Rios has been flying open and unable to cover that pitch on the outer half that everyone has been throwing him. He was doing a great job of covering the outer half for most of the season, but seemingly around the Toronto series, he started to struggle a bit with staying closed.

If Dunn's unable to PH tonight, I assume he's out for the Twins series. Ventura seemed to be pessimistic he'd be back in next 24-48 hours.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 03:00 AM) f*** this park, he smashed that That's not even to the warning track at the Cell.

Lucky lucky lucky...he misplayed that.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:58 AM) This couldn't be more wrong. Look at his spray chart. Carry on with the crying though. You do it well. You know they have no power at all to the opposite field?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:57 AM) One of the greatest pinch hits of all time though. Francona's comment was great

Way to go Johnson. Someone hit a homer please!

Be a hero, Johnson! Also means Dunn is probably out for a while.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) It would be nice for Rios to get a hit in Detroit. He has no chance if he keeps hitting it in the air to center/right. Doesn't have the power needed to do that successfully. Alexei and Rios have to stay on top more and start driving it to LF again.

AJ is not going to react well if he's the last out and Valverde is dancing on the mound.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:49 AM) Sox have a lot of home games left. They hit at home. Stop watching if being in first place bothers you so much. Sounds funny, but tomorrow night's game might be the biggest game of the season. If they go out and lose badly and crowd seems to turn on them, it could get ugly quickly next week. If they go out and slug the hell out of the ball and get some momentum, then things set up well for the next 10 games.

I'm sure these ESPN announcers will say how fun Valverde's routine is.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 03:44 AM) Well, it's not like this one will make his contract click. There won't be a more important game for him to keep the deficit short in. What? You could easily bring in Veal to face Boesch here. If he's going to finish a game, let it be cause Reed is fatigued/injured or he had to pitch in an extra inning game, etc.

If he finishes this game, how far away is he from the goal?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 03:41 AM) It's like Coop is trying to get him the money. Very stupid

You have to be f***ing kidding me. Myers in to finish the game.

I can't believe the Sox thought Septimo was a better option as a LOOGY all year than Veal.

Myers better not be pitching this inning

Why don't they show Kenny now?

"He defies everything you know about baseball". Ha
