QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) This is an impressive rant. Detroit is NOT going to win 10 in a row. I couldn't be less worried about Detroit.

Kotsay with a one hop rocket at 2nd...he showed a ton of hustle down the line as well. .214 and dropping!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 12:25 AM) "Ozzie Guillen has forgotten more about baseball than we could ever hope to know." /ranger Please never bring up that name again, thanks

Rios go out drinking in between games? He's just a ridiculous double play machine right now.

Got home to see the score. Carlos Torres sucks, and it was pretty pointless to start him tonight with Monday's off day. I don't know what they're teaching our pitchers in the minors, but they could start with having them throw strikes.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:33 PM) You mean one without walking 8 guys? Cause he has thrown one this year against Tampa Bay. You know I was being sarcastic

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) And miss Edwin's first start? If he throws a no-hitter (I can't see a pitcher like him ever throwing a no-hitter), then it would give me two possible boy names to choose from.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) Yesterday was the day. Now he had better do it in the middle of the night or he has to wait 2 weeks... I agree, my wife picked 8/2 like 3 months ago as the perfect day. Thursday around 4PM wouldn't be too bad.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) fathom any news on the baby boy? the way you stormed out of the chat the other day I thought it was it! not a thing, but I had a pep talk with the belly last night saying with today's DH, he should at least wait until Wednesday.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) Pierre 0/0 Vizquel 3/17, 2B, 4BB, 3K (.177) Rios 5/16, 2 2B, 2HR, 4K (.313) Konerko 9/33, 2 2B, 4HR, 5Bb, 6K (.273) Ramirez 2/3, HR Kotsay 3/15, 3B (.200) Castro 0/3, BB, 2K Jones 0/1 Beckham 0/1, BB I'll tell you what though, that's a hard .200 that Kotsay has hit against Bonderman.

There's some guy named R. Williams in Charlotte who could be an option. Never heard of him, but he has a 1.80 ERA.

I'm so happy we didn't give up Viciedo for a 2-month rental

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) Lillibridge and Jones will not likely start tonight. One of them should play RF the rest of this game. I would be stunned if Jones is not in RF in game 2

So everyone in the Sox lineup contributed this game...that's impressive.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) FYI, Dunn on the waiver wire. Thread on it in the trade winds. This could not mean less for the Sox.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:44 PM) Fangraphs, along with the MLB network, are the two greatest things to happen to baseball fans EVER! Quick Pitch on Sunday nights might be my favorite show of the week. I love the series recaps, and I especially love it when the Sox have a good weekend.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:41 PM) I had never really looked that deeply into the fangraphs website for some crazy reason, but this is great stuff. I'm trying to avoid going to that site, cause I feel once I start, I won't stop and that will be my bible.

Even in a 7 run outing, I still get a kick out of seeing Beckham ground out to the pitcher.

I leave for lunch, at Juan goes deep? WTF! Pitchers without a good offspeed pitch have little chance against our hitters right now.

Great job by Buehrle limiting the damage.

Way to go Juan...I love the ability to start innings our 7-8-9 has shown lately.

BTW, Ozzie should have mixed the lineups up a little bit tonight. Assuming he benches Kotsay, Viciedo, and AJP in the 2nd game, we'll have a lineup full of righties (against a pitcher who's slider is much tougher on righty hitters).

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) Offense not looking very alive. Our hitters just don't seem confident at all on the road, as opposed to extreme confidence at the Cell. Also, the recent struggles of Rios and Quentin since the ASB don't help.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Yup, career ERA of 4.26 in August, April is the only other month over 4, with a 4.01. (Not counting his two awful March starts) I was waiting for someone to sarcastically point out his March starts. Thanks for doing it in a classy way

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) Isn't August a historically bad month for Mark? Yes, it's his worst month by far. I also didn't know historically, his ERA is almost .5 runs higher during the 2nd half.
