QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:04 AM) Why shut Sale down? I don't see anything physically holding him back. We have games to win and he's going to help us win them His velocity is way down. I'd rather ensure his health for years to come then to force him face the Royals next weekend.

Ha, now Sale throws 93 mph. Why is he still in this game?

Great, let one of the most despicable people in baseball kill us this series. The pitch calling continues to KILL the White Sox.

And that's the series. Another low and in pitch. Time to shut down Sale for 10 days.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 01:58 AM) I'm not convinced that they're better. Injuries have really hurt the Sox of late

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:56 AM) Detroit is just a better and more talented team They're certainly playing better, but a ton of that has to do with the struggles of Youk and Rios while their 1-5 is playing great. When you're playing badly, you always look worse than you are.

Even on the 3-0 pitch the umpire refuses to call a strike on Cabrera

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:54 AM) well gotta make a pitch here Wasn't the first pitch a strike?

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:54 AM) Anyone up for making Brett Myers a starter? Heck no

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) Well it's not. So launching them into the air constant in this park is a formula for outs. I must have missed these hard hit outs (besides for his 2nd AB tonight)

Stop throwing fastballs! They're not touching his offspeed pitches tonight.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 01:49 AM) You understand what Im getting at though right? I think were pretty damn lucky to have Youk. Yes, they are this year, but not for 13 million next year.

Everything's away to Rios, and he's struggled to do anything with those pitches. Him and Youk with NO hits this series.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 01:45 AM) So no 3rd baseman then? Cool Yep, it's a revolutionary way that's going to sweep the majors

Nice swing by Konerko...hit a homer Rios

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 01:43 AM) I thought that was a fine AB. Who are we going to go to next year? Morel? its almost you have to bring back Youk No thanks to either. I don't think Morel's in the plans at all, and Youk's gonna want too much money for someone who seems to be struggling to finish the season healthy.

Youk with 3 great pitches to hit in that AB.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 01:42 AM) Youk looks terrible Someone remind him he's in a contract year

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 01:38 AM) Why is ESPN trying to defend Konerko there? Because by hyping up Konerko, they can make Verlander sound even better if he gets him out.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 01:37 AM) it was fair the whole time, what are francona and kruk talking about Worst broadcast I think I've ever heard, and that's with the hyperbole policy in mind.

Nice pickoff by Sale

It was fair about 5 feet before it hit the bag.

What in the hell is Konerko doing???????? Go field that ball before it can do that.

Boesch is only lefty to homer off of Sale this year.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 01:33 AM) im worried abotu sale...that FB was 91mph...hes throwing almost exclusively sliders Put it this way...no doubt in my mind that if they fall out of contention, they'll shut him down immediately and then it will leak to the media that he was having physical issues.
