QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) We do miss Price. And there's a good chance the Rays won't have the same motivation, knowing they can't catch the O's, Yankees, Angels and A's. Tampa is 3.5 out with A's having to play Rangers 7 times. They most definitely have motivation.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:52 AM) Yeah, it's pretty bad. For every game, the outfield and UD are basically empty. That's freaking pathetic, and you have a feeling if they're one out heading into Monday, a lot of people won't bother walking up for tix.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:49 AM) I would be optimistic going into the next homestand thinking the home crowd would re-energize the team, but the way it looks on Ticketmaster's interactive seat map, the park's gonna be empty next week. What's new! Is that true? That sucks

Viciedo swung at that 3-1 pitch like he was down 0-2.

Is Denard Robinson on the take in the ND/Michigan game?

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:42 AM) Everyone gets tired throughout the season. Going from Minnesota to Chicago to KC to LA with no days off during September is probably a logical time to get tired. Doesn't mean we should play bad, but it does make sense that we would be tired and that it might hurt our play. The starting pitching is gassed

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:41 AM) Or he's just really bad at defensive fundamentals/fielding his position...and part of that's due to the fact that's he is essentially a minor leaguer learning at the big league level this year. It can't be ALL that surprising. IIRC, his defense/inability to hold runners was one of the reasons the Yankees let him go.

PK!

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:37 AM) Q is one that I think might be a bit of a space cadet. I don't throw that around lightly but I really think he has a problem staying focused. Your first negative comment of the year!!! In all seriousness, I really appreciate your activity in these game threads this year.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:35 AM) Unless he can fetch something valuable, I think he is at the least very important depth. Oh yeah, it would definitely be as a piece in a big trade for an infielder

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:34 AM) What is Hawk smoking? You know PK will hit a homer

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:33 AM) Easily I'm going to make the prediction this is the last start we see from him in Sox jersey. Just have a feeling the Sox will try to unload him if they think Santiago can be a starter.

You have to shut down Q after this game, right? Santiago can give you way better than this.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:30 AM) Game over. Weaver tomorrow. We'll find out soon enough if those 2 Royals' losses essentially were the beginning of the end of the season, or if they can rebound against the Indians and Rays at home somehow. This s*** was happening long before those two KC losses. Offense has sucked for a while now and the starting pitching just hasn't been good in the 2nd half.

LOL at Ventura keeping him in

Brutal, absolutely brutal. Total meltdown by the entire team the last 4 games.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:29 AM) There's another run scoring prevented by the presence of Viciedo's arm in LF. They wouldn't have run on Pods on that shallow fly.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:27 AM) What he say? If we somehow make the playoffs, Santiago should get a start over him if it comes to it. They keep saying how the ball isn't coming out of his hand well, and then they were pretty critical of how bad his numbers have been since the ASB. He has nothing out there tonight.

Steve Stone all but begging for the Sox to shut down Quintana. It really wouldn't shock me if they use him as a trade chip this offseason.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 01:24 AM) You won't be alone. Me included. If I get really bad, ill just leave. +1

Only out due to terrible throw by Viciedo. Is AJ allergic to the outside corner?

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 01:21 AM) 0-2 pitches to Pujpls down the pipe aren't good. Q is just terrible now outside that one Tigers start. He's pitching himself out of the rotation next year, IMO. Santiago has passed him.

Keep pitching him inside, he's not a good hitter and won't realize what's going on. Get Santiago up in the pen.

Haha, what a joke. They really are playing like they can't wait for the season to be over. Hawk sounds like he's going to complete his heel turn tonight.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:13 AM) I'm gonna have to restrain myself tonight Yeah, I'm in a s***ty mood to start with. Have a feeling this one is going to be over early.
