Wow, Beckham played that terribly.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 01:45 AM) Ok the 86 mph is owning the Sox so far Taking a lot of strikes on the outer half and then chasing that cutter on the inner half that's a few inches off the plate. Hopefully second time they see him in this game, they'll adjust.

Viciedo gassed by an 86 mph fastball. Of all pitchers, he should match up well against Laffey.

Looks like Indians are going to lose tonight. A Sox win guarantees first place at the ASB.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 12:37 AM) Anyone have the link to Beckhams video impersonating Peavy handy?? It would be MUCH appreciated. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_..._video_22841869

Peavy has a good slider going tonight, hopefully he uses it a lot against these righties.

Lind destroyed that pitch to the opposite field. Peavy not looking very sharp so far.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 12:24 AM) Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain is my response to that? Career 3.59 ERA for Cain on the road (3.03 ERA at home). 3.33 ERA for Lincecum on the road, 3.14 ERA at home. Both were very good pitchers heading into this year, but I think both would be closer to 3.75 ERA pitchers in the AL.

Dunn really shouldn't have to be guessing at the plate against a guy with a bad fastball.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 01:21 AM) Did you call Melky Cabrera turning into an MVP candidate? I've always been a fan, but I think that's cause he's killed the Sox in his career. I am a pretty big advocate of not trusting pitchers from San Fran and San Diego

Youk actually had game winning hits in every game of the Texas series.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 12:20 AM) So much love for Youkilis that it steals posts from the Game Thread! ouch

Beautiful play by AJ!

So that Melky Cabrera for Jonathan Sanchez trade hasn't worked out well for the Royals, has it?

5 base runners, 1 run allowed by Humber in 2 innings so far.

You'd have to think if it was true, the Chicago media would be all over it by now.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 6, 2012 -> 11:07 PM) I saw on twitter that Broussard reported that D Rose tore his ACL in rehab. Anyone confirm? Looks like he posted it 4 hours ago, but no one else has picked up on it. Not sure what to think right now.

Steve Stone, as I'd love to hear him rip on Sosa all night

Love seeing the stats for young guys like Garland, Buehrle and PK

This Tampa lineup without Longoria and Joyce is terrible. I'll be happy if they split with the Indians this weekend.

If other teams value Mitchell as an above average prospect, he's easily our #1 trade chip.

After his first AB today, Luke Scott is 0 for last 37

Choo and Austin Jackson have been monsters in the leadoff spot this year for their teams. It's nice that ADA has done so well in the same spot of the lineup.

I was really impressed with the effort the Sox put into getting votes for Peavy. Seems like a really good week for the chemistry in the clubhouse.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 10:30 PM) And the Javy trade, and the Freddy trade, and the Danks trade, and the Quentin trade... Actual good prospects were given up in those trades though.
