Soxfest

LH hitters have no fear of MT anymore.

This ump is lost.

Ump called that pitch on Sox hitters.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) I agree. There's no real reason to leave him in. First guy that reaches base he is out.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 08:58 PM) That will help. Hopefully the momentum can swing back in our favor and we can pull this game out and salvage 1/3. Sox need 1 bad.

Visquel saved Jays a run.

Just made it. Peavy may stay in.

Rios HR 3-3 YES!

OV never made that play in a Sox uni.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) After all good outing for Jake. If only Hudson could field his position tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) Over/under on Altuve hits in the series is probably 7.5 I promise not to say anything though about how much value the Astros got for Melancon compared to what the Sox got for Santos if Lowrie does damage I will go under with 6 but that is 2 a game!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 08:43 PM) This, besides don't fans rather see the team winning which is technically easier to accomplish vs bad Astros? Way they are hitting and playing at home the Astros may sweep.

Mini threat come on GB!

Nothing can kill fan interest faster than a June weekend series against the crappy Astros tha nobody cares to see. Schedule maker did the Sox no favors really the entire 2012 schedule with 2 game trip to the Anaheim as another example.

Rasmus has done NOTHING all year.................sucks.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) Update?? by the looks of it I probably don't want to know. Sox have been retired 10 in a row..............look lifeless the whole series.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) How could they not give Hudson an error on that? Play was not half as hard as Hawk and Stoney made it seem.....................Sox go 1-2-3 no answer to the 3 runs.

Outside If he gets that call Sox are in trouble.

Play like crap at home all year and KW has the balls to cry about fanbase.

Toronto just own the Sox.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) I was discussing this with my cousin the other day, with the success of Bryan and Punk are having I'd be shocked if smaller guys like Shelley and Sabin who have all the talent in the world wouldn't come to the E. Whos the last guy to go from TNA to WWE?? Can Shelley and Sabin still be the Motor City Machine Guns or is TNA gonna have the rights to that name Styles? or wrong thread? TNA trademark.............TNA property.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 29, 2012 -> 07:42 AM) 1 playoff appearance in 6 years, Kenny. Fix that instead of commenting on attendance. Kenny does not want that brought up that is why he uses the annual attendance crutch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) Fun video clip from the Hawkins pick, including a split screen of Kenny freaking out when he does the backflip, and then getting on the phone and telling Hawkins no more backflips. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=22072073 Kenny was about to stroke out. Excellent link thank you.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 07:36 AM) So how do the draft guru's think we did? It seems for once most picks seem to have some higher ratings than the slots players went in, at least from a layman's point of view. Draft rules really help the Sox, nice to see some potential young position players drafted early for 1st time in many years. I hope Chris Beck will end up being a steal. Love the 1st round pick Courtney Hawkins but reached with Keon Barnum not real high on him.

What we can say after Major League Baseball wrapped up its first draft with spending limits is that the CBA seems to have worked almost exactly as Commissioner Bud Selig and some in ownership (including White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf) hoped it would. Talent was spread around more evenly, as evidenced by the White Sox diving back into the deep end by taking high school players with their first two picks — something they hadn't done since 1984, in large part because they feared Boras or another agent would try to play a shot at college into super-sized bonus demands.
