90 pitches for Mendoza. I wonder if ADA can ph tonight?

Sorry Hawk, I'd rather have my 4 home runs in August hitter taking 3-0, especially when he has 14 steals this year

Hopefully Alexei cheats like PK does and looks for inside sinker to hit into bullpen.

Mendoza is really good

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 01:45 AM) Paulie Walnuts!!! That got out in a hurry. I thought Gordon was going to catch that. So similar to Youk's homer yesterday

Best swing by Konerko in weeks

Way to go PK, way to get that run back.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 02:40 AM) Hawk with loser talk. I would rather play the Yankees than the Royals. realyy?? Trust me, teams love playing the Royals. Yeah, that was absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure he'd rather face Sabathia than Guthrie this week.

If that's the actual surgery he had, good bye velocity. Again, if that's true, Danks is going to have to completely revamp the way he pitches. His command would have to greatly improve.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 01:37 AM) This struggling with KC s*** needs to end. Its ridiculous Having De Aza out hurts, as he's been such a catalyst. The bottom of the Sox order flat out sucks, and with Dunn/PK struggling so badly, we need all the offense we can get.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 02:36 AM) Butler kills Sale. What the hell were they thinking on that pitch? Even Hawk knew he'd be sitting on that pitch.

Has Sale thrown a lot of sliders tonight? The last 3 innings, it's been almost all fastballs/change-ups

Wow, why would you pipe the fastball on 2-0? Sale's been getting hit very hard the last 3 innings. Wake up Sox!!

14 strikeouts, 132 pitches for Verlander

Mendoza is hitting his spots like crazy. Impressive outing by him. Big inning coming up for Sale.

Danks just missed that...wow

Big out, get us started Danks

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 01:23 AM) Id rather have Getz than Gordon. I'd rather have Mike Aviles

Fontenot has hit .329 against RHP this year. Hopefully the Sox sign him and he's starting on Wednesday.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 02:18 AM) Oh Gordon.. Shockingly slow bat speed

No likey this 8/9 in our lineup. They can't catch up to a fastball and look lost against offspeed pitches.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 02:15 AM) What is Viciedo swinging at? Taking strikes, swinging at balls. He badly needs a day off, and it stinks De Aza is banged up so Danks can't play for Tank.

Nice job putting the runner in motion there

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 02:08 AM) Bad pitch Sale Seems like he's pitching away, away, away. 89 mph makes no sense to me.

What's Sale's velocity been like?
