Rodon , Thompson. Melky with 2 RBI on his 31st birthday . Sox with just 4 hits , Angels 5 but Angels in the midst of playing terribly on the road. It's not who you play but when you play them .

Angels headed to 0-8 on the road lately . Them and Astros' major road woes.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) Don't say GS with Pujols up. But you can say DP !

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 07:23 PM) Trout has zero plate appearances against Petricka. He should have one. Yes, I'm still mad over that game last June where Sale gave up the grand slam to Trout. Don't say GS with Pujols up.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 06:41 PM) it's really nice having a three solid defenders at 3b, ss and 2B. Too bad none of them can f***ing hit. I think Sanchez csan hit .280 next year especially since he gets most of his AB's LH . Still though surprising power from Saladino and Sanchez both on occasion.

Angels suckitude lately on the road + Rodon commanding 3 pitches = good stuff

Trayce !!!!!!

Feather and stone trumps Flowers.

Victorino trying to sell it. Ump aint buying.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 06:20 PM) what is stone talking about? Trout has a pretty damn good arm. Highly accurate and strong enough for a CF. ANgels announcers saying Trouts arm is getting better. Long toss paying off.

Happy 31st Birthday Melky ! 2 ribbies !

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 03:02 PM) Have you spoken with fans at games or listened to Chicago sports radio? Greg sort of represents the opinion of a lot of our fans. I've been in California since 1980 . Maybe I'm out of the loop but can't imagine many Sox fans singing the praises of Danks and Flowers the way he does. So when you say he "sort of represents" that "sort of " sort of makes a lot of difference.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 12:08 PM) Greg is seriously one of the best parts of this website He can't be serious though . I think he must have a warped sense of humor or enjoy the attention. No one can constantly defend Danks and Flowers the way he does without some agenda. I guess people call it trolling . I mean he gets to see his name online, laugh at how crazy people get over his fake opinions. I mean he's a Sox fan no doubt but he has to be pulling everyone's legs a lot of the time.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 08:50 PM) And he's right. Not saying it will happen, but get hot and go win something like 12 out of 15 and they are right back in the conversation. 12 of 15 might put us behind the loser of the Toronto /Yankees death match. Toronto has won 11 out of 12 . Toronto is buzzin' ,the team ,the fans ,the city. Gosh I envy them

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) I would have brought him to camp on a minor league deal, or on a deal worth a million or two. When Boston signed him to $9.5 million deal, I lost interest. There was a lot of interest in Masterson on this site in the past off season. Boston hands out some stupid contracts. A fool and his money are soon parted but there's just more for those fools to spend. Despite the bad year they will just spend their way back into contention getting some other dumb GM to take their baggage at half price.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 10:00 AM) Last time I was at a game they were still fireworks. ('08) There were fireworks after all the HR's. I heard the big booming loud ones and saw the brigt colored shooting star type just like its been forever. Can see and hear them on the highlights on the Sox website too. Maybe he's saying the quality of the fireworks isn't as good but they seem ok to me. I mean the whole point of that pinwheeled scoreboard is the fireworks.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 01:41 PM) Don't worry, when Hector is pulled after 5 shutout innings with 109 pitches, LaRoche will be used as a pinch-hitter. If Hector is pulled then with that many pitches hopefully we're ahead 5-2 and Rodon is throwing strikes and there's no need for The Rock to pinch hit. Santiago is a good kid. I couldn't blame him if he had a mental f u to the coaching staff who didn't believe in him . But not many fans did either. Santiago was like Avi is now, a few people see(saw) the upside but most see the flaws as a sign of permanent suckage.

No LaRoche as a starter against a LH again. Hallelujah , they have seen the light. Took 'em long enough.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) I haven't seen enough of Saladino to make any final judgements on him... not even close. Very reasonable. How dare you ! You must immediately pass judgement on a rookie !

AVI-SALE !

YES 3 run oppo bomb . 2nd of the night by Avi !!!

Hanging slider Avi hits it about 430 ft or more .

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 02:02 PM) Again this team just good enough to lose. KC is the cat and the Sox are the mouse it plays with before the kill.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) Robin went after Nolan Ryan. Look at him with us now and you'd never know it He was younger and still a player. He has to reach back to his youth when that competitive fire burned . Don't think , react ! Go with your gut , when you're angry show it. Show you hate losing and do everything you can to prevent it. If you're going to go down, go down fighting and doing it your own way .
