QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 12:55 PM) I can't think of a better way for the Sox to start the 2011 season than with Danks, Floyd, Peavy, Buehrle, Jackson and Sale. I'd bet that if one of those guys are traded we'll at least get a competent mlb starter back as part of the deal. Kenny loves to have 6 capable sp's around it seems and I highly doubt we rush Sale to the rotation.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 01:09 AM) It is. But it seems like every team in baseball has at least one guy consistently hitting 100 MPH. True but 104?!?!? And that slider he's breaking off is f***in nasty as well. Freak of f***in nature, hopefully he can stay healthy.

Ya that'd be nice. There's no chance in hell Cleveland would consider such a deal but dreaming is fun.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) Looking at Brooksbaseball, pitch f/x had him sitting at 102.11 and topping out at 103.9 f***in absurd.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:34 PM) No he is not. We are 13 or 14 over .500 with a so-so team. Your argument is so strong when you don't even know how many games over .500 the team is.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:08 PM) http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/p...nded/order/true What's strange is that we have 14 blown saves out of 48 SO. Minnesota has 14/45, so our successful save conversion rate is actually higher. Maybe it just seems that when Minnesota blows a game, they usually win it at least half the time. We have the games against Minnesota, Seattle, the Tigers, the Royals...it seems we've had at least one blown save per series after the ASB. Well the pen was fantastic the first half of the season, it just started getting ridiculously awful the last few weeks here, so it's not that crazy that the stats aren't completely terrible yet.

The last exorcism=pure awfulness.

Ya, it all depends on the deal that Paulie is willing to take. I'd offer him two plus a team option for a 3rd but that's it. Unfortunately that might not be enough and you might have to let him go.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) He is a great comleemnt in the pen to Thornton, but to say he has anything better than Matt may be a stretch at this point. He's got better overall stuff than Matt and a much better slider, that's not a stretch it's just the truth. Doesn't mean he's a better pitcher at this point but his stuff is certainly better.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) well, s***, I thought after his injury in 2008, in 2009 he cleared waivers and was sent to AAA without having to be on the 40. Did they put him back? I stand corrected. He started the season on the 25 man roster, my friend.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:56 PM) I did not know he wasn't on the 40. He is.

PK has been amazing this year, Hamilton has just been better unfortunately.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) Whatever it was, I guess at 85-87, those pitches had to be change-ups? They were definitely change ups. Confused the hell out of the first batter with it as I'm sure it's not even on the scouting report yet as he never uses that pitch.

I feel like that's the least adventurous 9th inning we've had in a long time and that still resulted in 2 runners on base with less than 2 outs, ha.

UNf***INREAL

Seriously, baseball needs to shorten games to 8 innings.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) Those pitches looked close on GD...not so much?? Not even close.

f***. Cmon Chris

Broke out the change?!?!?! Nice, 2 more!

SALLLLLLLLE THANK GOD. DO IT UP

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) Sale and Santos were both warming before the 8th. Ahh ok, I missed that.

Considering the broadcast hasn't even shown anyone warming up I wonder if Sergio is going to get 2 innings of work. I sure hope not.

Lets just score about 15 more and not worry about who pitches the 9th.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) It's Donald/Gimenez/Brantley. Not exactly murderer's row. Sale would definitely come in for Choo/Hafner. Doesn't matter who the f*** is batting lately with our pen. It needs to be Sale, end of story.

If Sale isn't pitching the 9th I'm going to kill someone.
