Nice jinx Yes, Myers has been a great addition

Granderson's 0-10 so far in the 2 games vs Tigers. What a terrible decision not to send Ichiro.

How in the world does Ichiro not score on a 2 out double that bounced to the wall?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:20 AM) WTH is with Leyson Septimo? He comes in for 4 pitches, throws 4 balls, then gets sat back down. great job, jerkface Septimo being on the roster instead of Veal is just ridiculous.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:20 AM) horrible job not letting the royals best hitters beat us Yep, might as well walk Butler once there was the open base

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:18 AM) It's Bruce Chen. There are AAA teams that can put up more than two runs on his garbage. playing for one run off of Chen with Danks bunting was crazy, especially considering how KC ALWAYS fights back vs the Sox.

Robin, that's what happens when you show no urgency in a close game.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:14 AM) Why is he pitching in this game? Ventura decided not to use Thornton tonight (as in, using him in the 7th) it appears

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:14 AM) Royals pitching is meat to the rest of the league. We treat them like an endless group of ace pitchers painting the black with exploding stuff. Looks at this lineup the Sox had tonight? A lot of easy outs right now, especially have to bench two of our hottest hitters for two guys who aren't MLB caliber hitters.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:12 AM) You guys shut up about not having a back up at 3rd before we end up with Chone Figgins. At least he can run the bases. Olmedo and Hudson can't even do that.

Wow, KC was shading Beckham over to right center more than they did for Dunn.

Is Erik Johnson the #1 Sox pitching prospect along with Simon Castro?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:07 AM) If Olmedo could throw any harder than I can, Jake Peavy would be in line for a victory. Not having a legit back-up for 3rd base is really stupid considering Youk's nagging injuries.

Wild pitch offense please?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:06 AM) id rather have olmedo saenz Even after that blast?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:04 AM) Not really. They lost 2 of 3 against the Red Sox. They had won 5 straight home games before Indians series.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:01 AM) seems like peavy does just enough to lose once again Alex Gordon is the 2nd best hitter on the team, yet for some reason Ventura doesn't fear him at all.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:00 AM) Tigers going on quite a roll here now. Indians screwed us very bad by imploding against them. They were winning before the Indians series, so I don't think we can solely blame the Indians. They're peaking right now, just have to hope it doesn't continue for the rest of the season like it did last year.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 01:59 AM) Ventura leaving Peavy in to die... What a strategy. +10000 It's ridiculous how overused he's been. You pretty much never see a manager leave their starter in if they allow 4 hits in the 7th inning of a game.

6-3 Tigers, I hate Andy Dirks. How's he have an OPS over .900?

So is Thornton getting the game off? You would have thought Ventura would have him ready this inning.

Brutal, should have never been left in the game. 5 hits this inning. Gordon's a .255 hitter vs LHP, and .311 vs RHP. Absolutely insane to let Peavy face him.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) no reason for gordon to slide there At least he kept it in the infield.

Gordon didn't have to dive on that play. Hell of a scoop by Konerko though. Ventura leaving in Peavy after giving up 4 hits in an inning.

Great throw by Viciedo, but game it tied
