QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) Confidence in Beckham making solid contact here? No, which is why I hope he can hit it in the huge hole

Great AB by ADA...hit-and-run time?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 07:47 PM) Just another automatic out today in a lineup full of them. I have more confidence in Wise to hit the ball hard than anyone else in the lineup besides ADA, Rios and AJ. With Konerko out, Dunn has got to start producing again.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 07:41 PM) Wise as a defensive sub fine................hitting no use for him. Sporadically against tough righties is fine. No problem with him facing Colon today.

It puzzles me as to why Ventura played Viciedo over Danks today. Colon's much tougher on righties this year.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 07:24 PM) GB slow as hell What happened, miss the first inning and a half

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 05:51 PM) Inge separated his shoulder, popped it back in and stayed in the game? Boss status. And won the game

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 04:48 AM) I've been wondering who would make that big push in August. Getting Longoria back, you had a feeling it would be the rays. Their August schedule is pretty tough, and it would be nice if Toronto gets their guys healthy so they can play Baltimore and Tampa tough.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:44 AM) Angels lose too. Believe me, that's almost just as important. +10000....Tampa is making a huge run right now

FYI, Matt Thornton and Nick Blackburn are both 4-8

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:30 AM) Adam Dunn is hitting .133 in August so far with 0 HR's, 3 BB and 12 K's. This.Must.Stop. I'd love to see him and AJP switch positions in the lineup. Ventura can't keep putting such an easy out into the 3rd spot.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 04:22 AM) Frustrating loss when you factor in the gritty comeback. I have to say that's one thing I absolutely love about this team, they never give up and play out the string. I couldn't agree more

Rangers got out of it!

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:17 AM) Tigers bases loaded, 1 out, 1-1, 9th 2 outs, loaded

Chad Johnson arrested for domestic violence.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:52 AM) All Lexi had to do was get the run in. It's his job. He failed. Balfour had nothing out there. Nothing. He was lobbing it up there. Dispute that. Crain got lucky that ball got stuck in the wall. Yes he STUNK. Need I go on??? How's it Crain's fault ADA misplayed that fly ball? As for Alexei, he was hitting exactly .500 this season with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:46 AM) Balfour stinks. There I said it. Rios with a bad bad K. Will you stop with the "x stinks" please? You said the following people stink tonight: - Crain and his almost 2 ERA - Alexei and his .354 average with RISP - Balfour and his 2.67 ERA. Balfour has a career ERA of 3.45, which is better than the "Great" Bobby Jenks and "the worst decision ever" Mark Buehrle

Just a terrible loss. Ventura's decision making with Thornton continues to kill this team.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:45 AM) Looks like Rios flying open. Has been for a few games of late. Teams are just throwing everything to the outer half against him now.

Made contact, but another weak swing. Anytime he wants to start contributing again, he can feel free. No homers, 2 RBI in his last 12 games.

SWING THE BAT!

Hit #397 please

Hopefully he's ok. He'll probably get tomorrow off anyways.

1-1 Tigers/Rangers after 7 innings. Verlander mowing them down now, at 118 pitches.

Bristol doesn't get a lot of hits as a team, do they?
