QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 02:04 AM) Ump called that pitch on Sox hitters. 2-2 and 3-2 pitch have been strikes.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 02:03 AM) Robin does know it's June, correct? Bad managing there

Wow, that's been a strike the whole freaking night.

I'd have Jones or Thornton start the 7th, as Peavy's well above 100 pitches

Damn it's nice to have PK back

RIOS!!!

Damn the Blue Jays are well coached

Peavy really regrouped after the 2nd for a good start. Sadly, he probably could have gotten out of the 2nd without allowing a run. Definitely pitched well enough to win the game.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:45 AM) Way they are hitting and playing at home the Astros may sweep. Over/under on Altuve hits in the series is probably 7.5 I promise not to say anything though about how much value the Astros got for Melancon compared to what the Sox got for Santos if Lowrie does damage

So selfish of Beckham's parents to leave the city of Chicago.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:40 AM) Nothing can kill fan interest faster than a June weekend series against the crappy Astros tha nobody cares to see. Schedule maker did the Sox no favors really the entire 2012 schedule with 2 game trip to the Anaheim as another example. Do fans care about a weekday series vs the Blue Jays? I bet there's good crowds this weekend, just cause it's the weekend.

Hit a homer ADA!

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 02:33 AM) do face Kershaw? Yep, and Capuano and Lynn/Wainwright

That was intentional as hell

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) i think the offdays have cooled off the bats The lineup lost the swagger with Konerko out of the lineup, and now it's struggling to recover. Konerko being out pushed Viciedo into the 4 spot, where he seemed to be trying even harder than usual.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:25 AM) Not hitting does not necessarily mean you're lifeless. These guys have been pitching their asses off. We already scored a run out of thin air on some lively looking legs from Dunn, you should be happy with that life. Last night and tonight, they seemed to be playing into exactly what Morrow/Alvarez was trying to do. Still can't believe the approach last night against Morrow and taking so many fastballs. On the other end, the pitch selection to Rasmus this series has been awful. You can't keep pitching him low in the zone.

Sox with no hits from the 3-5th innings all series, I don't believe. Alvarez making it look easy now.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:14 AM) Can't watch this team nowadays.... If they don't DESTROY Houston and run through the NL that might be it for the season.... Huh? The Twins are just as bad as any of the teams we'll play from the NL, along with the Cubs (even though we'll have to face Garza and Samardzija). Our pitching match-ups suck next week on the road, so going .500 next week wouldn't be bad at all.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:09 AM) Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild I don't get why you've said this the last two nights, and then said how fans don't know just how bad a rebuilding process would be?

Dunn and Viciedo a combined 3-41 in June, with all 3 of those hits home runs. Dunn is now 5-47 when the count gets full, and I'd be willing to bet most of those 47 full counts resulted in an offspeed pitch being thrown.

Big inning for Peavy there...60 pitches after 3

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 12:57 AM) I've been super patient waiting of Alexei this year...but get it going man. This is ignorant at this stage of the season. He might want to stop faking the bunt on fastballs down the plate, as he just ends up getting himself in a hole. Last night was a terrible approach by him, as he kept taking fastballs and then chasing the unhittable slider. I'd be all for him getting a day off and putting Escobar at SS.

How could they not give Hudson an error on that?

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:52 AM) Game is not over. Definitely feels like a game where winner is the team that hits a 3 run homer, as both pitchers are going to give up a lot of base runners.
