QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:02 AM) Great work Chris... Now Robin...take him out! I bet he's given the first two hitters next inning.

SALE! Filthy, and great to see him use the soft stuff on 2-0

Got to keep Martin in the park here, as he'll be swinging for the fences.

Vizquel caught stealing by 5 feet to end the game. Tigers got some big gifts in this game on their runs.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 01:50 AM) Hughes keeps putting that fastball in Viciedos wheelhouse but he can't stay balanced. Tank has no chance against Hughes so far in his two outings vs the Sox. Viciedo needs to be able to cover that outside fastball if he's going to have no chance on inside fastballs.

Way to go Rios! 7 of the 9 Sox starters with homers now.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:46 AM) Hughes has pretty good stuff and matches up well. What? Sox have always feasted off of guys who only throw fastballs.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:44 AM) Sale's given up too many home runs as of late. He needs to use his offspeed pitches more when he falls behind in the count.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:43 AM) The jeckle and hyde offense continues to do its thing. They've had good pitches to hit, just have struggled to square up Hughes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:41 AM) Pitch to Jeter was up too. He didn't look comfortable after the ground ball he fielded last inning.

Hey, he made contact at least. Blue Jays strand two men in the top of the 8th.

Dunn's going to hit a homer this inning

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:20 AM) At the moment Gordon Beckham has a higher OBP and slugging PCT than Alexei. So much for that

How about Rios, AJ and Viciedo homer this inning so our entire lineup can have a home run this series?

Fantastic pitch sequence to Andruw there!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 01:00 AM) So, what do you guys think it would take for Sale to win the Cy Young? Also, anyone know the last White Sox pitcher to win one? David Price and Weaver to get injured

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 01:00 AM) Tigers' bullpen has been vulnerable...especially Benoit. Villarreal is their version of Nathan Jones. Villarreal has been significantly better than Nate Jones this season in every category

Great AB by Youk! Funny thing is it looked like he hit that farther than he did the grand slam off the bat.

I love the bunt...ha!

Nice start to the inning with Gordon!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 12:44 AM) DET leading 3-1, bottom of the 6th. As expected, no help there...and Verlander tmrw. Then they've got the Angels and Royals. Bautista returns Friday, and Cooper's probably out for the rest of the series. You know you're banged up when Jeff Mathis has to DH for you.

On the Score today, they were talking about a Chris Rongey tweet that said the premium tickets were the ones that sold well yesterday and it was the regular priced tickets that didn't sell. Not sure if that makes sense.

Very nice!!

Good job Gordon!

Wouldn't mind Danks starting for Tank tomorrow. IIRC, Hughes dominated Tank earlier in the year.
