1st series win in KC since 2009.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) 2 outs, one run lead in the 8th. Its pretty common strategy. Which has now cost us 2 runs.

Don't get the no doubles D with Cain up who has shown no power at all.

All 4 pitched to Sanchez were strikes

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) Still no dice for me DirecTV 666

Already said Sox by 10 games. Book it.

! don't think it would be that hard to bunt hard and get it to go 30-50 feet past 3rd base. Normal bunts you try to have a loose grip on the bat and deaden it. A hard bunt would mean to just keep it fair and doesn't have to be right down the 3rd base line since the 3rd baseball is playing close to 2nd base . I could easily see a double bunt in Dunn's case and there's nothing wrong with a free double. Won't ever happen unless the Sox actually clinch the division semi early and Dunn's screwing around. But in the playoffs a hit like that would be awesome. He should at least try in in batting practice once in a while.

My review . On boy this is great !

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) The main thing with that Tigers series out of the ASB is not getting swept. 1/3 is fine...a sweep puts the White Sox on their heels a bit and brings all those 2nd half slide questions back into everyone's minds. The Tiger's need to worry about being swept not the Sox.

Sox win division by 10 games.

4 in a row. 6 in a row at home. High water wins above .500 . Looks like Youk is the difference maker at home.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) 3 years is just crazy, unless it's a team option only, like with Gavin. You have to think he will get some 2 year offers for at least 10-15 M So offer 2 with team option for buyout year of 2 M.

So offer 3 years $20M that should do it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 4, 2012 -> 08:25 PM) That should cover about everybody, plus Mr. Double, Rios. Axelrod deserves some credit too. After all he is our 7th starter. His 2 starts have been against the Yankees and Rangers and the Sox have won both of them. He's kept the Sox in the games while mixing up his pitches.

I'd take any quality arm. But Humber , Axelrod and Bruney are RH as is Crain so 3 RH on the DL so some of those guys will be back.

Youk .306 now with Sox but more importantly coming up with big rbi and defense.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 4, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) Stolen from @NightTrainVeek: Youk can dance if you want to, Youk can leave your friends behind. Along with "his name is Rios and he dances on the sand" we have an 80's theme going. BTW that's the Safety Dance by Men Without Hats

Raul Valdes of the Phillies. 34 years old. .823 WHIP, 10.7 K per 9 and 1.7 walks per 9 . Phillies aren't contending and given his age might be willing to part with him. Another LH and Cuban.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) Sox have 6 men with 15+ HR's and 2 pitchers with 15+ W's. Beckham hits 40+ doubles. Viciedo makes us say" Carlos who " ? Dunn, Paulie, Viciedo, Rios , AJ, Beckham Sale has a shot at 15, Peavy needs run support , no one else has a chance . Beckham only 12 at this point , slim chance, Viciedo doing well.

Totally awesome , dude !

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 11:48 AM) Sox are getting owned by Dwayne Wise and a 37 year old junkballer. #baseballisweird Not a junkballer if you can throw 94.

Kuroda pretty good against righties , in day games and his last 5 starts or so has 1.50 ish ERA

http://mlb.mlb.com/fancave/video.jsp?conte...bid=3mi5W5MVcRo Gotta check this out. I first saw it on MLB network and thought it was real.

It's really an amazing story so far.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:43 AM) I get that having 5 rookies in your bullpen at 1 time isn't exactly ideal...but when we're talking depth out there...the guys we're bringing up to fill those slots are throwing 94+. Even if they're rookies getting by on stuff, that kind of velocity out of your 7th and 8th guys in the bullpen = depth. Throwing strikes and getting guys out equals depth. We have yet to see if these guys can do that.
