Can't believe Sox are losing this game right now.

0-6 with RISP after going 4-17 in our last game

Ugh, how in the heck did that go into his glove. Sox aren't getting many breaks tonight.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 02:28 AM) Suck it KC!! That's for your 2 runs the home plate ump gave you in the 2nd. I'd rather have those 2 runs back

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 02:23 AM) Keep em coming Fathom... How about ADA hit a triple in this great triple's park?

Nice start Alexei

Nice inning for Q...time for Alexei to get his first knock against Chen

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 01:16 AM) Has Q got a swing and a miss yet? Just got one on Butler

Has Q got a swing and a miss yet?

The Multiview jinx strikes again

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 01:10 AM) Is Rios the best hitter on this team? Easily

I've never seen Rios swing with more confidence

PK picking up where he left off. Please let that wrist heal soon.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 01:03 AM) Q has been hurt by his lack of a put away pitch tonight. Lots of pitches with 2 strikes unable to get guys out within the strike zone He has absolutely no command of his slider today. Half of them are landing in front of the plate, and that's causing him to hang the ones that aren't in the dirt. I'd like to see him throw more change-ups tonight, as this KC team can crush average fastballs.

I'm not a fan of going with the 6 man rotation out of the ASB, especially having Axelrod face Boston.

Tie game, that's a play that should have been made. Quintana isn't pitching at all like he had been in terms of selection.

AJP needs some blocking drills

Bad defense, bad umpiring cost Quintana a run. He has to get his slider going, as he's throwing a ton of fastballs. That Youk DP was a huge play in this game.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) Three points inspired by posts on this thread: 1. Extra set of eyes remark regarding Ventura ... With Robin being a solid lefty hitter, has he had input the resulted in the resurgence of Dunn and A.J. ... also De Aza's success. Could be, but we'll never know. 2. Rios resurgence. I think it's because he's back in RF where he's comfortable. 3. Honestly, I forget number 3 but I'll say this. Robin has done a masterful job of putting players in a position to succeed. Switching Reed to closer has helped both pitchers involved. All 3, if you include Thornton in the mix. Also, not giving up outs offensively and defensively. This is HUGE! And the fundamentals have been much better compared to recent seasons. I'd like to point out the fact Ventura didn't have Alexei bunt last Friday vs Toronto in a 1-0 game with runner on 2nd, no outs (5th inning). Instead of playing for one run, Ventura let Alexei swing away and the Sox ended up scoring 3 runs in the inning on a lot of hits that would have been outs if the infield wasn't playing in.

QUOTE (whitesox901 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 08:44 PM) I think Millwood and Wolf are realistic expectations. Wolf in the AL in a hitter's park is very scary

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) I just hope they have a plan. I totally understand the 2012-2013 season. They know its lost, and they don't want to spend the money on veterans for nothing. That makes sense to me. BUT, what do you do with the team when Rose does come back? If you expect him to be superman and carry the entire team, with the Heat, Nets, and whoever else, that isn't going to work Yep, the plan has to be to give yourself as much flexibility after this coming season to make necessary changes.

The AL Central/2nd Wild Card makes a lot of sense for the White Sox and Tigers

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 05:15 PM) I'm excited by Teague too, by all signs he is also a good penetrator and finisher at the rim. I'll be honest, I thought Teague was terrible for a majority of the last season. When rooting against Kentucky, he was always the guy that if he made a good play, you were disappointed cause you thought he was the weak link in the lineup. Patrick Beverly is an extremely active player, but he never made me think he could be a pure point guard.

Anyone else watch the Humber perfect game replay on Comcast last night? Great programming on a quiet night. It's amazing though how much quicker Dunn's bat speed was earlier in the year.
