That should definitely have been an error on Escobar given PK' speed

Hit a homer Rios

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 07:51 PM) Venturas inexperience is hurting this team alot. Plain and simple, there's been a complete lack of focus and preparedness with the Sox this weekend. It's especially pathetic given they just saw the same 3 pitchers a week ago.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 07:51 PM) Venturas inexperience is hurting this team alot. And almost everyone going into a slump doesn't help

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 07:51 PM) Still haven't seen someone explain Perez's double and why it was a bad break. Just saw it...cheap hit

Still haven't seen someone explain Perez's double and why it was a bad break.

Konerko must be so proud of Beckham's body language

Anyone else notice just how many base runners KC has gotten against the Sox this weekend?

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 07:44 PM) It doesn't matter. They weren't eexpected to be in first anyway, so who cares if they lose. Please stop

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 07:40 PM) PERFECT. Only happens in KC and Texas, that kind of bounce. What exactly happened?

Just got back to see another pathetic offensive display. Perez is going to be an absolutely superstar.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 07:14 PM) Beckham is such a bust He'll be someone else's problem next year, hopefully he gets hot for the rest of the year and boosts his trade value.

Sox sure seem to suck at scoring in the first inning of late. Last time I can remember a big first inning was the Twins game where Q gave it right back.

4-0 Tigers after 5 batters.

Tigers winning and Fister's on the mound...time for the Sox to play some good baseball this weekend.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 02:12 AM) We lost games where Chris Sale and Jake Peavy pitched? Thats bad alone, I don't care who the opponent even is. Both those guys have struggled big time vs KC this year and in their career.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 02:10 AM) Then you're burning Myers for 2/3 of an inning in a pen that is already overworked. Besides, if the lefty doesn't get Gordon out, he has to face Butler. You have an open base no matter what, and you walk Butler to get the L/L match-up against Moustakas.

Well, that was a complete team loss, as the hitting/pitching/fielding/coaching sucked. Time for Q to step up big tomorrow.

JPINAA

Escobar now hitting .352 in his career vs the Sox

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 03:06 AM) Absolutely, by the "letter of law" (or contract). We're what, 12-13 games away from it kicking in? A lot closer than that. So stupid by Ventura there if it's actually an issue.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 02:04 AM) What should he have done? Bring in the lefty to face Alex Gordon (in order to try and get the big out BEFORE Butler bats).

Does Myers get credit for finishing this game?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 03:00 AM) Anyone else worried this is the beginning of the 7-game losing streak that will eventually knock us out? Happens during the 2nd half of the season nearly every year it seems. When that does happen, it's hard to say the team deserved more. With that said, this team has surprised us for so long this year, so hopefully they break previous patterns. Why a lefty wasn't brought in for Gordon, I'll never know. His OPS is .250 pts higher against RHP this year.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 02:59 AM) Robin continues to be really, really dense when it comes to the pen. He's making some awful decisions that's really hurting the Sox chance to win. Tonight is nothing compared to some of his recent decisions though.
