QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 01:01 AM) This one is over. Gonna get swept. This team is showing absolutely zero heart on this roadtrip and should be embarrassed. Then they don't deserve anything

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:59 AM) Why is it that the OF always seems way out of position? That ball was crushed, nothing the outfielders could have done. Liriano's not long for this game. His stuff absolutely sucks out there. Again, I have no idea what the Sox were thinking lining up Liriano to face the Tigers given how they've killed him in his career.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:58 AM) Great 0-2 pitch It's amazing how terrible the Sox have played on this road trip. Doing everything you're not supposed to, it seems. The starting pitching has gone to crap, and the hitting struggles are well documented.

Liriano has nothing out there. Tigers just own him. This f***ing sucks right now, what a heartless performance so far.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 11:53 PM) OF against righties starting sunday needs to be Wise/de aza/rios. Absolutely, no doubt about it. Viciedo hitting about .225 vs RHP this year.

Tough inning coming up for Liriano.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 11:50 PM) White Sox have the easiest schedule remaining statistically in the entire AL. That's a change from previous seasons down the stretch. Which means Tigers have to have one of the easiest as well because only different team they play the rest of the way is Oakland

Nothing Youk could do there. Another fail with RISP, with Youk now 0 for his last 14.

Good AB by Wise, as he'll probably try and steal here. So far, lefties have looked good against Scherzer and righties have had no prayer.

3 pitches, 2 weak outs. No idea why they keep playing Beckham. Way to try and bunt guys!!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:46 AM) 46 pitches in 2 innings is bad f***ing news for us. Play this game like a playoff game. If he gives you 5 good innings, you hope the pen can win it for you.

Be shocked if Alexei or Beckham don't try to bunt here.

Nice catch by Wise!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:41 AM) Great first MLB at-bat for a 21 year old. Liriano has no confidence in his fastball, and there's only a 5 mph difference between his fastball and change-up so far.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:40 AM) We really need Liriano to keep his pitch count down, because I have little confidence in other offense tonight, so more than 2-3 innings could be very dangerous. Liriano's stuff is not sharp at all so far.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 11:38 PM) How does one become a fierce competitor in baseball? Having an angry look on your face and swinging the bat extra hard? You mean like Jake Peavy

This umpire's small strike zone is not what Liriano needs

Stone being critical of Viciedo, great to hear. He's got to make some adjustments against RHP. This offense has a lot of guys who are slumping.

I missed the AJ at bat. How far away was he from a homer?

Escapes damage, nice!

AJ continues to play stellar defense...yuck. Lazy as hell back there

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 11:21 PM) HOLYCRAPTHEYKEPTCABRERAINFRONTOFTHEWARNINGTRACK Guy has amazing power...he barely swung and missed a homer by 15 feet

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 11:19 PM) He's taking the weakest cuts in a long time. Seems like it's been all downhill since he weakly hit into a DP in the 8th inning to kill the rally on Monday in Baltimore. Now, he's just feeling for the ball instead of swinging hard.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:14 AM) Well, Youk-Paulie looked like s***. That's the second ball AJ has hit that would have been a HR at the Cell but wasn't in Detroit 1 for his last 18 is Konerko...he looks absolutely gassed out there, as he's struggling to hit anything on the line. Ventura should have loaded this lineup with lefties (Danks for Viciedo, Olmedo for Beckham)

Upton's throw to win it for Tampa was unbelievable.
