How can no one catch up to a 93 mph fastball? Goodness, this team looks so lethargic.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 01:55 AM) Alexei is swinging for the red line. Swinging like it's April

Alexei's front shoulder is flying open way too much. He's an easy out at the plate.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 01:49 AM) De aza wasn't good either He has no confidence defensively right now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 11:50 PM) Escobar would have gotten a squib hit against us there. But against the Tigers, he strikes out. Figures. If you want to get pissed off, check out his career numbers vs the Sox as compared to his numbers vs the Tigers.

2-0 Tigers

QUOTE (rowand's rowdies @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 12:14 AM) Sox win, Tigers lose. We go up 2 games tonight. Still worried about our chances but tonight should be fine. White Sox 5 Indians 2 Tonight's the worst match-up for KC during their 4 game series, as the Tigers have crushed Hochevar in his career and they got Verlander on the mound.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 02:44 AM) No, it hasn't happened yet. When it happened in 05, the sox took off. It was like the pressure disappeared. I always felt like Carl Everett's triple the day before they clinched the division was the turning point. IIRC, the Sox lost the first two games to the Tigers in heartbreaking fashion (including Granderson's only career walk off homer). They were struggling the next night until Everett had a huge triple, and they went on to win 16 of their next 17.

Span and Carroll!

Al Al making easy work of the Twins. Leyland's really leaving him in for an extended time.

Kevin Youkilis has let it be known he'll play for Team Israel in the WBC if they qualify.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 01:29 AM) Notre Dame has a Top 5 defense and Manti Te'o is the best player in college football. They've still yet to play against a team that can pass the ball.

1-1 in bottom of 5th

Tigers already leading 1-0. Walters is a terrible pitcher. Very, very likely things are tied up heading into tomorrow.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 11:50 PM) They're talking about moving Peavy back and not starting him Wednesday? Uh, no you hick. f***ing pitch. That's fine with me. Indians have hit him hard this year. Given their struggles vs LHP, I bet we see Santiago on Wednesday.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) Gotta take care of business against the Tribe....IM talking 2 sweeps. Nothing less. Sounds ridiculous but it is capable Gotta go 7-3 IMO to win it

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 10:20 PM) I'll go with BAD. Anything less than 30k tomorrow night would be sad, but like you said, it's projected to be mediocre.

Seems like it's the opposition's 3 and 4 hitters that are killing the Sox of late (Gordon/Butler, Pujols/Morales, Ruth/Fielder)

Overmatched by a superior team this series. At least we get the Indians next.

Rzzza, with all due respect, even if you play the "young guys" like you suggested and lucked out with a win, this team isn't going to make the postseason unless the core players start producing.

Does Ventura have any idea that Jose Lopez is a much better hitter vs LHP than Hudson?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 11:01 PM) For some reason I have faith in the Royals. They sure seem to be treating it like it's their World Series.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) That is inconceivably horrible. That also doesn't take into consideration all the times that they couldn't get a runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 09:45 PM) Players follow the money. Yep, Adam Dunn supposedly wanted to play for the Cubs, but since they didn't offer him a contract, he decided to play for the Sox.

Sox are 24 for their last 139 with RISP. Nice .173 average
