Less than 16k in attendance tonight. Absolutely ridiculous

Free Dan Johnson!

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 02:30 AM) No, I just don't see the reason to DFA him. Someone has to pitch in games like this and more often than not he will not give up 10 runs or whatever the number was today. At the end of the season, you can ask him how he likes the weather in Charlotte. Couldn't they DFA him to add another reliever to the 40 man if they want?

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 03:28 AM) I think tickets on StubHub were going for $1.98 last night. In your opinion, did the tank job in Detroit just kill the spirits of the every day Sox fan? I'm stunned by the lack of attendance for this series, as there were a ton of people who attended the last Twins/Sox series. I know that was when school wasn't in session, but this is over a 10k drop off.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 02:25 AM) This crap either wakes them up or puts them to sleep eternally At the very worst, they're tied for 1st on Friday. If that doesn't wake them up, then nothing will. I'd be much more concerned if it was Peavy or Sale starting in a game they lose 17-4. If the Sox can't rely on Peavy to go out and pitch well tomorrow, then this team was never going to win the division anyways.

Nice to see them doing the right thing and pulling the starters. Time for Peavy to step up and pitch well enough to win tomorrow.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 02:18 AM) I feel terrible for Humber. He stays on and gets similar opportunities to pitch from here on out if it's up to me. It won't get any lower than tonight, that's for sure. I'm not going to read too much into this, it's just a terrible game. If I've learned anything playing baseball, it's that you don't learn s*** from these games...you just have to forget them. His ERA was near 6 coming into this game. His ERA is now 6.50. You sure like mediocre players, don't you?

So, Konerko homers this inning, right?

Please rain

So please tell me this means Wise pitches tonight!!!!!

I feel bad for Humber, I really do. Hopefully he catches on with a different team and can make it back to the majors. I don't think it's right to leave him out here like this.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 02:13 AM) Does anyone see our team being more than 1 and done in the playoffs the way we've been playing? Will the story about the 2012 White Sox be: They were a good first half team...? They were a good first half team with a pitching staff that everyone but their GM thought couldn't survive the final month of the season.

Wow, pull all the starters off the field if you're just going to quit.

Please, please tell me Don Cooper has a radio interview tomorrow morning scheduled.

The fan is booing Humber pretty loudly.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 03:07 AM) Have Humber finish this game. I don't care if his f***ing arm falls off. Maybe Myers can pitch the 9th??

It's about time to never see Humber pitch for the White Sox again.

16 of their last 27 batters have reached

Amazing inning by Perez!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 03:03 AM) Worst thing to happen was Humber's perfect game, he has been total s*** every since that day. He pitched a perfect game around the ASB last year

Humber's numbers since last year's ASB reflect someone that has no business pitching in the majors anymore.

If Twins score a few more, might as well sit Youk, Rios and Konerko for tomorrow. Of course, I'd much rather see Dan Johnson get a start tomorrow than Konerko.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 02:59 AM) Yeah, this one's over. Humber blows. He's going to be with a different organization next year.

Nice fastball right down the plate on full count with a base open. The Sox pitchers suck right now.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:54 AM) Ok, wait, so NOW we start playing matchups? Robin's bullpen handling makes Ozzie look like Einstein. I cannot come up with a reason that Axelrod started this inning.
