QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 05:56 PM) Alexei simply cannot hit with RISP anymore Start after start after start has to wear that thin body down some. He's got nothing in the reserve tank.

Thank you Cruz and Sweet Swingin' Conor !

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout !

Wow 3 innings in a row Sale has pitched out of major trouble. Bats need to show some signs of life now and give Sale a breather.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) Yeah, we are going to sweep the O's! That's more like it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 02:01 PM) How the hell is the Sox collection of talent supposed to win one on the road vs. Balt after losing four to a hellhole team like Minnesota? Answer. Sox can't. So pencil in 3 losses. I assume it's a 3 game series. Of course Sale might shut out anybody so I guess one win is possible. Do not sully the game thread with your negativity . And that goes for the rest of you too.

My 1st effort at a game thread this year. Need to get back on a winning track or looking at next years draft and hoping to do badly threads will be popping up all over Soxtalk. Sale has to be a stopper tonight.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 06:54 AM) http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2014/...ift-kannapolis/ Recap posted. Does anyone know why Nolan Earley missed the first part of the season? Someone tell Rob Young thank you for the recaps but if you are going to write you have to know that " must of " is not proper English. It is often misused for the contraction must've ( short for must have) Very often see the same mistake with would of , could of , and should of. Sorry , see it so often in posts and it's my pet peeve.

The top of the 1985 draft had a ton of talent. First 4 picks were in order B.J. Surhoff, Will Clark, Bobby Witt and Barry Larkin. Sox had pick 5 and took a HS C named Kurt Brown . The No.6 pick ? Barry Bonds.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 07:13 AM) Yeah, I agree. In his prime, Pedro probably had close to an 80 fastball, 80 changeup, 70 slider, and 65-70 command. That's why I voted for him.

RIP Tony . You were the "Sweetness" of MLB.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 12:17 PM) You can still sign guys that are committed to a college. It's just harder to do because they have a backup plan. OK I thought committed meant like it's a sure thing he's going back to school and the Sox have no chance of signing him. I mean i know our 2nd round pick was committed to some school too but wasn't sure how that word was being used when it comes to how that 1st post is viewed. So if someone decides to go back to school and not sign with the Sox what will it say in the 1st post ?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 10:48 AM) Still haven't gotten figures for the Sox 8th and 9th round picks as of yet. BUT if Ziznewski gets the same $40k as Lechich, and Clark gets his slot dollars, the Sox will have $356,300 extra money left over that they can offer to either Rodon or De Oca without going into fines territory. For Rodon, that means they could offer him $6,077,800. If Ziznewski signs for $10,000, that number goes to $6,107,800. I'm confused. The 1st post says Montes de Oca is committed to Mizzou so why is there still discussion about signing him ?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 06:43 AM) Dude, you missed it. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=92289 Didn't you have another one that said the Sox had to win 90% of Sale's starts ?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 12:51 PM) I would just like to credit you for using the proper "toeing" and not "towing" which is commonly misused. And I agree, I think the Sox can yo-yo below/above .500 by a few games either way all season. But you never know...could get hot. Seems like we've already endured our share of injuries and oddities, like a bullpen that forgot when the season started. I hurt my toe. Well son call the tow truck .

It's not natural for a Tiuasosopo not to be playing football.

yea yea yea pour it on ! Detroit sucks !

I had a feeling once Cabrera hit one Abreu would hit one.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 06:42 PM) Sweet swingin' Conor Gillaspie! Good job

Sweet Swingin' Conor Gillaspie.

Sweet Swingin' Conor Gillaspie.

1st time in about 6 starts Noesi hasn't given up a run in the 1st or 2nd. ( I'm guessing)

Can't call Conor Mr. April any more , he's close to .400 in May.
