And of course, he can't elevate the 0-2 fastball. Everything is at the same eye level way too often. Hosmer scares the crap out of me here.

Yikes, got away with a meatball of a slider.

Be a great time for a change-up in the dirt.

Darn, bad time for an Alexei error.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:21 AM) How do you know that? The option isn't something the Sox have to pick up. Thats like saying why would Peavy sign for less then his option amount. If the market is less and I think with Youk he wants to play somewhere that he is comfortable (and he's fit in nicely) and most teams are going to be leary about going long-term/big money with him since there are injury concerns (Based upon the past couple years). 13M/yr is more then he'd get on the open market. At most I think he'd get 9-10M. If the Sox decline the option and he hits the open market, you'd have to think he'd possibly get more money than that if he finishes strong.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:19 AM) I think Youk is back, but it isn't like they have to pick up his option. I think they'll sign him to a 1yr deal with an option for a 2nd year at somewhere like 6-8M per. Why would he do that though and make less in 2 years than he could in one?

Tomorrow is the perfect time to rest Dunn against the lefty. Heck, let Flowers catch and DH AJ

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) I get the feeling they did a minor clean-up while in there. And it wasn't more then that. THey also probably strengthened the shoulder as PT pointed out. I thought it was interesting that Danks said he was happy to get the chance to be healthy again. Makes you wonder how long this bothered him?

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:12 AM) Youk! He is back, f***ers. On pace for 39 homers and over 110 RBI for a full season if you use his White Sox stats.

I'd love to see AJ bat this inning just to see the biggest uppercut swing you could imagine

Youk!!

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) It's one of his only clutch hits of the year. And I have no idea why you'd want to speed up Beckham's bat...just blow him away with heat. No need to fool around with him. The Cubs say hello

Hit-and-run time?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:07 AM) I was just typing in a post talking about what a piece of crap Becks is offensively and he does that. Slayer!!! I don't get pitch calling sometimes. Beckham looked lost against the 93 mph fastball last AB.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:05 AM) Good thing we have a bunch of terrible hitters up now. Welcome to my world sometimes:) Ok, a lot of the time

BECKHAM!!

Wow, he missed that last pitch by a foot. Man he sucks right now.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 02:44 AM) I think everyone is just reacting on little information. I don't think this was anything but a minor surgery. However, it concerns me that he has struggled and had so many issues with something minor, that normally would have been fine. Either way, I'll wait until Ptact educates us on whats going on. Ptact...yeeesssss! Yeah, for some reason, if it was the major surgery that Prior and Santana had, I feel like there's no way they think he'd be ready by spring training.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:04 AM) Sale you f***ing stud!! Oh and fathom great call on that squeeze. (even if it was bad) I don't get bunting with Escobar there, as he's fast enough to likely not hit into a double play.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:03 AM) Gassss...He Gawn!!!! Great job Sale. I still don't get it. We just gave him 9 days off. Regardless of the outcome, you have to be thrilled that he seemed healthy tonight.

Holy cow, he hulked up!! I take back the abusing part

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:01 AM) There's 2. We got spirit yes we do, we got spirit how bout you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Out of curiosity, do you know who chisoxfn is?

Sale's glove almost came off there

Wow!! Come on, one more Sale

Watch the squeeze here
