Peavy 2010 # 1 starter, Beckham 2010 # 3 hitter ,Thornton 2010 closer.

I was somewhat surprised to not see a winner thread so here it is albeit somewhat late. Peavy looked great. He pitched 7 innings ( pitch count 95) gave up 6 hits ( 2 bunt hits ,an infield chopper and a bloop) so he wasn't hit hard at all but had to escape a few jams and induced a couple of DP ground balls. He walked 2 and K'ed 8 and gave up no runs. His pitches had all kinds of movement and looked nasty. The Sox won 2-0. The Sox offense made another no name pitcher look like Cy Young but a Beckham HR after a crucial error by Inge on a rountine Rios grounder produced the 2 runs. The Beckham HR was his 58th RBI which leads all AL rookies and also broke up a no hitter by Eddie Bonine in the 6th inning. Randy Williams, Octavio Dotel and Matt Thornton shut down the Tigers the rest of the way with Thornton picking up his 2nd save of the season. Sox pitchers combined for 11 strikeouts. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/media/vide...s&topic_id= Video highlights here including an interview of Peavy after the game by Harold Reynolds and Mitch Williams of MLB.TV

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Sep 25, 2009 -> 06:48 PM) Is Porcello is only real competition? Elvis Andrus is most likely to win ROY IMHO.

I like this Peavy guy !

Eddie "Cy" Bonine Bonine was the guy the Tigers sent out to make room for Aubrey Huff on the roster following his trade from the Orioles on Aug. 17. His last game action with the Tigers was a spot start in late July, but he'll be used out of the bullpen for the stretch run. He has allowed 11 runs over 14 innings in five games with Detroit this summer.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 25, 2009 -> 05:30 PM) I take it Peavy has NO off speed stuff. Not true his slider is nasty.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 25, 2009 -> 05:25 PM) Just wanted to post that Ozzie can go f*** himself with this lineup tonight. What's wrong with it ?

How could the ump call that an out ?

If the ump keeps giving Peavy those corners it'll be hard for the tigers.

WOW wat a catch by Dye !

I voted PK, JD, BJ, SP, TP and FG. If Paulie can produce this years numbers next year, I'm fine with that. JD will bounce back and can be rotated in at DH for more rest if he signs a decent contract. Jenks is a tough one especially with a ballooning contract and injury issues but decent bullpen arms are scarce and he's still decent. Pods if he can keep up his fountain of youth act. Pena decent bullpen arm again with potential. Freddie because he'd make a good 5th starter or bullpen arm though he will probably only come back if he can start.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) you got my hopes up thinking this game was today =\ My bad, it's tomorrow.

It's all over but the shouting so shout the Sox on to victory.

Konerko with a bomb !

Twins playing like they're in a pennant race.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 06:34 PM) For the right offer of course, but who is likely to offer up anything major for Konerko, Rios, Pierzynski, Quentin, or Getz/Nix? You can package guys together.

I wouldn't pencil anyone in for next year among the position players except Beckham.Everyone else is trade bait.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 06:22 PM) Quentin: one year wonder? or hobbled by injuries this season and shouldn't be judged on these results? He'll be back. He's a good hitter.

Are we in the Metrodome ?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 06:05 PM) I wonder what Walker has done to pull Dye out of his 3 month slump. I'd like to know what Jermaine's done.I don't see him in a different place in the batters box. His approach seems the same as always.

Nice inning DH.

So much for a low pitch count 3 walks and another run for the Twins.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 05:16 PM) I think Dye's dropoff might be the #1 reason with Buehrle's mediocre second half behind that. The bullpen's been bad as well. I don't know, it's probably a combination of the three. Throw Rios suckage in there too.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 05:18 PM) Did JD turn a single into a triple? Ugh... He did .

The Dye triple and the AJ passed ball= crap defense and 1 unearned run for the Twins.
