STOP THROWING FASTBALLS TO BUTLER!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 01:52 AM) I agree, we're in first place we have to be going for the division. If the Sox go and get dominated by the Tigers when they play them next, then you can start rooting for the Tigers to beat some of the WC contenders. I still think Anaheim and Tampa are far and away the biggest WC threats.

Youk struggling like crazy to field the ball cleanly.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 01:51 AM) Tigers lose to the Orioles. That's a good thing, right? For now, yes...never a bad thing to be guaranteed coming home for a 6 game series in first place.

AJP needs to face Holland in the 9th, as he's hit him well of late.

Rios continues to open up too early. Hopefully he gets it going again soon.

PK with an AB that makes you wonder just what pitch was he looking for?

Fan of the year was that guy in the Youk jersey!

DUNN!

Tigers scored 2 in the 8th, 3-2 heading into the 9th. Miguel Cabrera's numbers since the ASB are insane.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 01:35 AM) Holy crappola, losing to this garbage team again??? Probably the worst defensive game of the season for the Sox.

Beckham with a really bad game

Nice job by Veal and Humber

Nate Jones is not afraid to give up base runners of late His WHIP since the end of May is over 2

Orioles up 3-0!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 02:01 AM) cant we just give peavy number 36 and put vazquez on his back? I've always compared the two, and let's not forget Peavy's stellar reputation for pitching in big games Why was he even starting this inning, as he was at 100 pitches and has nothing tonight? At some point, Ventura has got to use Sale/Peavy with a little more caution, as you can see their stuff is nowhere near what it was during the first half of the year.

Rios now 2 for his last 25. Wouldn't be a bad thing to rest him and play Wise and ADA if ADA is ok.

Nice PK

Sox on their way to being 3 and 9 in Peavy's last 12 starts.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 12:45 AM) STOP PITCHING TO BUTLER! The Sox deserve to be losing these games to KC with their stupid decisions and horrible scouting reports.

Keep letting Butler beat us, Robin! It is amazing to me how stubborn they are with throwing him fastballs. The decision making the last month or so is terrible.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 01:38 AM) The only one that is a huge deal to bring back is AJ, as it stands now. Yep, no way in the world should they pick up Peavy and Youk's options. I'd much rather KW have some flexibility this offseason.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 01:36 AM) I can't wait to here Marty all offseason if we don't bring back Peavy/AJ/Youk (of course, the Angels aren't exactly taking off with Greinke, are they?)...how this was our last good chance because of the Tigers' dynasty, etc. And then Greg, instead of Ozzie topics, will be repeating how the Royals kept us out of the playoffs. Should be great fun. If the Sox go out and win all 7 remaining games vs the Tigers this year, then no one will care about the KC games.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 01:33 AM) And at least the Tigers are knocking the O's back. Now we have to worry about the always-lurking Rays, maybe the A's and the Angels surely will have at least one last charge left in them. For the wild card, I feel it will come down to 2 of this 3 to make it: White Sox, Tampa and Anaheim. The A's have an impossible schedule in September, and I don't think the Orioles have the pitching to make it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 01:32 AM) He can't hit on the road this year. .182 avg. .278 OBP and a .578 OPS. Youk was a godsend for the Sox this year, but I hope some other team gives him a lot of money for a multi-year deal this offseason and the Sox go in another direction (not Morel).
