Lillibomb!

Great to see the hustle by De Aza.

Welcome to the Sox, Jason Frasor

Nice job Sale!

Good thing we traded for that righty reliever to face the other team's best righty hitter.

Beckham hit that ball very hard, just didn't get elevation.

I don't care how much Quentin has struggled against Pavano. After yesterday's game, he has got to be in the lineup.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) Do you think Jackson was dealt strictly to get us back on the 5-man rotation? Honestly, I have no idea why he was dealt anymore. If the Sox really had to shed some payroll, then Thornton would have been dealt as well.

If the Sox were 2 games out and not 7 games, I'd be livid about this. KW basically traded away our starting pitching depth when he let go of Jackson, even though he knew Peavy and Humber were extremely fragile. Not even 10 days later, he's having to push back one of those guys and we're relying on a minor leaguer to come up and pitch. The mistakes KW continues to make are shocking.

First step is admitting there's a problem. Good to hear Alex

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 03:34 AM) Yeah, no explanation for why Peavy got moved back to Sunday. Maybe it was the extra 25 or so pitches he threw for no reason in his last start. Oh well, it will be more interesting watching Stewart pitch tomorrow.

So Peavy can't handle being on a 5 man rotation already?

Nicely done Sale!

Let him try to finish the game.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:16 AM) hahaha imagine if this goes to extras, no PK or TCQ Quentin hurt or just defensive replacement?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:14 AM) Are you serious? A rocket? Yes, just happened to be right at Mauer.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:12 AM) It's not like Dunn got robbed, though. It was a liner right at 1B. Adam el stinko. Coulda picked up the team with a hit there. He hit a rocket greg, stop!

QUOTE (kapzk @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:09 AM) Why would any1 even think about bringing in Thornton. You got Sale and Crain and plus we are winning too. Frasor would pitch before Crain tonight.

Crain won't be used, don't worry greg

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:02 AM) what a nice start by Mark. I'm sure Oz will leave him in there one hitter too long at some point, but til then, nice job, Mark! He's been just awesome this year. Even if he goes elsewhere after this season, I'm so happy that he'd be going out on a positive note.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:00 AM) Morel has 243 at bats and three walks unless he's walked tonight. Can a player improve in regards to drawing walks? If not, I think it's pretty safe to say he will be a bust offensively. You can't have that kind of eye and be special. Yes, you can absolutely improve your plate patience.

If you use the 5-tool grading system for players, would Konerko be the only guy from our starting lineup who is more than one tool? I'd give Konerko the tools of hitting for average and power.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 01:56 AM) This feels like 'the inning.' The one where we all will become quite agitated. I'll LMAO if we lose this game, as it would definitely be another game we let get away due to our bonehead manager.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 01:55 AM) wtf is Morel swinging at It can't just be a coincidence that three of our young players called up from the minors simply could not hit a fastball (Fields, Beckham, Morel).
