Umpire squeezing the hell out of the Sox this inning

Liriano having cramps

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 02:06 AM) What? Our starter about to give it back after we get lead? That never happens. I've grown to hate how often AJ calls for fastballs.

Ugh, got to pull him. His stuff has been bad all inning. Stupid, stupid call of a fastball there after he missed the slider by so much and already showed he could hit the fastball to right field.

Liriano says he's ok, but he seems to be walking pretty gingerly out there.

AJ really struggling at the plate of late. Bat speed has slowed down from a few weeks ago.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 01:47 AM) Sox got to Chen in the 6th last time we faced him YOUK!

Sox got to Chen in the 6th last time we faced him

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 12:38 AM) There is a method to my madness. We don't score this game. Book it. Well, then they don't deserve to win tonight. However, that would go against everything they've done of late.

Well, that inning just got Chen deeper in the game. I hate that Viciedo missed a few games with injury after he was showing signs of getting hot again. Not to go all caesar on everyone, but this could easily be a trap series where Baltimore wins 3 of 4 (especially with the Sox pushing Peavy to Friday).

I wish Ventura would have found a way to get Flowers into the lineup today against the LHP

Awesome! Mariners fans really hate the White Sox right now

Any radar updates?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 11:48 PM) Unfortunately, I think the score of the game has a lot to do with the wait. If it were a 4-run lead in either direction, it would probably be over. Quite the interesting series for this umpiring crew

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 11:39 PM) I think throwing the tarp out on the field while the team that's behind has the tying run on base is an absolute last resort, regardless of whether the Sox are the team that's ahead or behind. Don't forget it slowed down for about 5 minutes after they dried the field off, and then it started to rain hard after Wise's single.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 12:37 AM) But would you agree if they threw the tarp on the field before Flower's at bat? I wouldn't have wanted the game to resume at 10pm regardless of the score.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 12:34 AM) seems kind of silly to go through the rigamarole of a long delay before calling a game on a getaway day when the radar is showing showers for hours. Agreed

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 12:12 AM) This game show is brutal. Back to one of the best action movies of all-time: The Rock Very Harold and Kumar Christmas for me

Tarp back on

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 11:57 PM) Ok, Rongey is talking about the possibity of MLB suspending the game and making them finish it later on. I don't think they could (or would) do that. How is this any different than the game the Tigers lost in Boston? But say it was the last week/day of the season and they were in this position with a close race. Could MLB say that they have to finish the game? Game would be official if they call it

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 10:50 PM) Tarp back on, per ESPN Chicago 2 minutes ago DARN

Good call umps

Since when has Wise been so good against LHP?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 11:25 PM) Wow. I've never laughed so hard while watching Gameday. I kept thinking "Omg, that'd be hilarious if Flowers bombed one out", and then it appeared on my screen. WOAH. It was cheap
