3 pitches all it took! Great job by Gavin tonight of getting the big out when he needed it.

Was Konerko's single hard hit?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) Dang...I didn't quite talk enough crap on Becks. It seems that he hits everything to right. Probably because his swing is too long to do anything productive down the left field lines. Never did I think I'd complain about a sox hitter who goes the other way too much. I'm the same way with Rios

Holy cow he crushed that. Liriano not fooling anyone.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:08 AM) Looks like the Captain is back I'll wait until he starts pulling the ball with authority.

Great approach by the hitters tonight

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:06 AM) Fathom, how is that for 3/4 hitters? Exactly what we need!

Ha, what a crazy sport

Nice DP!

It's clear he has no command of the fastball. Needs to start using the hook as his primary pitch.

Gavin is working soooooooo slow tonight. Looks like he's fighting his mechanics.

that was fast

Ironic that Wise got DFA'd today

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 01:49 AM) I think Floyd has a good night. Command a little off early but stuff looks good. Lots of pitches though coming off of an extended break. If anything, he's throwing too hard.

Could be much worse, nice just having the lead for an inning right now.

Huge crowd, nice to see

Gavin's not long for this game. Starting pitching continues to do a terrible job of shutting down the opposition after the offense scores.

Great to see PK give this team a lift!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 11:11 PM) The Tigers are playing great baseball now too. I'm not sure how they aren't that good. They have the best 1/3/4 hitter combo in baseball. They also have the best #1 pitcher of any team in the playoff hunt for the AL. They have a lot of other great pieces fitting behind all of those players. Their rotation is as tough 1-5 as any team in all of baseball, plus a very good end of the pen. The weakness they have out there is their early pen guys. With that rotation, they can hide those guys pretty nicely, like the Sox did early this year when their rotation was pitching well. Hawk and Stone said this yesterday, but Villareal and Below have been outstanding for them this year. It looks like they finally got their bullpen figured out by getting rid of terrible pitchers like Balester.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 12:05 AM) Angels have the best record in baseball since the end of April. They are playing fantastically and just took 2 out of 3 from the Rangers. From a rotation perspective, CJ Wilson and Weaver have been money. Haren should be back shortly. There offense is better (Trumbo, Trout, and Pujols is sick). They also are playing with no legit catcher (until Stewart comes backs) and have one of the best bullpen era's in baseball. Angels are also very very strong defensively. What's the deal with Haren this year? Velocity seems down. And yes, I do agree the Angels are the best team in the majors.

Infante has 9 career homers vs White Sox...next closest team is 6. Always disliked seeing him face our lefties.

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 11:59 PM) i agree that the tigers aren't that good. we aren't, either. They're pretty darn good. I feel like they have an underrated bullpen now and Boesch heating up over the last few weeks has made the bottom of that order a little more respectable. When you have a great 3/4 like theirs and a leadoff hitter having a breakout year like Jackson, you have the chance to have a good lineup.

Didn't take much either. Think the Mariners feel bad about Pineda?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) Well with Rose being out, youd hope guys like Teague, Butler are given a chance to play, so that we know what the Bulls have. It wont make any sense to have veterans eating a ton of minutes just to suck anyways. That doesn't sounds like Thibs to me

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) That's the thing. I am thrilled with how this team has played this year. I just don't think they will be Detroit. You know what sucks? So few home games in July when the Sox are in contention. That would have been a great way to ensure good crowds.
