Scary thing is this is another "game finished" for Myers.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:33 AM) NAH MAN, THEY HAVE CHRIS CARTER NOW. THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST OFFENSES IN BASEBALL WHEN YOU ADD THE GREAT CHRIS CARTER. I'll take him on the Sox if they don't want him

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:32 AM) On paper, with our RS/RA average, we should be 15-17 games over .500. Defense costs the White Sox another run there. Poor bullpen management. I know you bring up the blown saves stat a lot.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:32 AM) This is more runs than Oak scores in a week. You mean the #3 hitting home run team in the majors the last two months?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:31 AM) Defense the last month really has gone downhill. It's flat out costing the Sox games.

Wow, defense decided to take last two innings of the game off?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:29 AM) Great, now we're using Myers one inning too late, lol. It's absolutely ridiculous he wasn't at least brought in to face Cespedes last inning.

Texas and Tigers tied at 1 going into bottom of the 7th. After rough start, Holland has been incredible.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:27 AM) I'm glad we won last night. This reminds me of most series against KC where we gonna be lucky that we got one game. Well, as of now, it couldn't remind me more of the Angels series from last weekend. Good news is we win tomorrow

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:26 AM) Thornton should have been dealt before the deadline while you could still get SOMETHING for him at least. I just don't trust him no matter what the situation is... Give me Veal over Septimo or Thornton, at least he seems like he could actually be a lefty specialist.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:25 AM) It's almost like Ozzie with some of his favorite veterans. The only way to stop Ventura from losing all these games is for KW to somehow get Thornton off the roster. Ventura's bullpen management if far and away his biggest area for improvement right now.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:23 AM) LOL, Beckham popping up everything trying to be a HR hitter now. So sad He's not getting his arms extended, which causes his bat speed to significantly diminish.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:22 AM) Beckham with the angry head shrug Paulie's so proud of his protege

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:20 AM) Yup. I thought Myers should have been in to begin with. It's only worked every time, why try something different?

If this score holds, Thornton will be tied for 2nd on the team in losses and tied for the most losses of any reliever in the majors.

Here's something that should piss everyone off. Gomes hits .288 vs LHP, and .212 vs RHP. Reddick hits .268 vs LHP and .251 vs RHP. So basically, there was no explanation in the world for why Thornton was in that inning.

Brilliant...another Saturday loss due to Thornton and Robin's decision making?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:13 AM) I FREAKING HATE MATT THORNTON. JESUS. If there's a rule in any Matt Thornton outing, it's that there will be a gork shot somewhere that falls in...it's inevitable. When's the last time he's gotten a few swing and misses on his fastball? I don't blame him for the slider to Gomes, but the league will soon start to sit on that pitch with Thornton have zero confidence in his fastball.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:13 AM) Ventura killing us softly this inning..... No excuse in the world for Thornton to still be facing Cespedes that inning after two hard outs and a rocket homer.

Vintage Thornton right now.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:11 AM) Yeah, let's have Matt face another power righty Ha, just exactly who is Myers warming up to face? Basically Ventura managed this inning like Reddick was Bonds and their power righties were nothing special.

Terrible defense continues. Someone wake up Ventura

Um, get him out of the game with all righties up now

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:08 AM) Gomes is scary match-up vs Thornton Yep, could see it coming. Should have been Myers in to face Gomes.
