Wow, what the Hell was that 3rd strike? That thing tailed in like mad.

Phil it up, dammit.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 11:13 PM) f*** all the Heat hate. You're not a basketball fan if you're not amped up for LeBron vs Durant for the NBA championship. You probably have to go back to 1991 to find a final that featured by far and away the two best players in the world going at it. I can't wait. Iverson vs. Shaq?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) So true: Compared to how the NBA worships its players to the point that the refs call fouls based on how famous guys are, I would rather know less about Joey Votto and have a quality league. It's not like Joey Votto is hurting for money.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 07:34 PM) Hernandez is out for now, and Wickswat is about to be dropped from the rotation. The past three nights, it has been Castro, Bayne and then Molina going Saturday night. Tuesday is an offday. If they stay on normal rest, Castro would be Tuesday and Molina Thursday. Theoretically, you could catch Simon Castro on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. No idea who they'd be starting Friday or Saturday, Sat would be Wickswat's turn, though, Friday, Hernandez's spot. Yeah, but that offday screws things up, they may continue with a 5 man rotation. Going to try PMing JPN.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 02:44 AM) Given the low strikeout totals, I honestly think the Sox have him working on a pitch. I think it may be a symptom of the A-AA jump. If he's a strike thrower, in A ball, he probably got used to getting people out just by throwing strikes and getting ahead of them. Better competition in AA, now if he just throws a strike, it gets hit, got to instead learn how to work the corners and throw a ball that's just off the plate for an out.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 11:01 AM) Anyone know if Bacardi at the Park's restaurant part serves minors? I'd assume it does, but I'd like to know because my parents and I might eat there before the game today. Also, today will be the second time I've seen Harrell pitch, outside of his debut. I don't recall them checking ID's at the door but that was last year.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 01:48 AM) Oh also, me and my buddy got 2 BP balls today in the OF. Both were ricochets off the seats. I had one home run ball go right to me, I reached my mitt out, and some jagoff next to me closed my mitt shut and caught it off the top of my glove. I mean, it was impressive that he was able to catch it barehanded (well, with the aid of my glove), but to sabotage my grab was kind of s***ty, especially since he had just gotten one a few batters prior. They opened the gates early enough to see BP?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 10:51 AM) Denver Post speculated today (6/10) that Padres will offer 3B Chase Headley. Another possibility for a more journeyman 3B, and less expensive in trade, is Rockies infielder Cris Nelson. Tulo is coming off DL in a week or so, Nelson would be available. He is okay defensively, can hit a little bit. An upgrade over what we have now at third. I think the Padres will make him available but he won't come cheap. He's under their control for several years cheaply, so they don't need to move him.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 12:04 PM) according to ESPNs playoff odds - we have the highest % chance of making the playoffs of ANY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE thats unreal - speaks more to the division than anything else i suppose And to the Sox having had an actually fairly tough schedule so far, getting rid of a lot of those games against Cleveland, Texas, LAA, maybe some others.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 11:06 AM) Remember the Quentin for Beachy rumors? If we The Braves had done that, we'd have the league leaders in ERA. Yeah.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 06:35 PM) Some guy called in to Mac and Spiegel yesterday saying pretty much that. He didn't get a lot of airtime (In all seriousness, he's hit plenty of big, key HR this year. Won a game in Tampa recently, for example).

I can't even get as excited over the Slam as I'd like to since it was already a 6 run lead. That bum's worthless, just homering to run up the score.

Well, i guess we were due for a HR. Would have been nice to win a game without one. Nice going Adam! Always screwing things up.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 06:25 PM) End Sale at 80 pitches, then. Of course, 80 pitches could be 4 innings, it could be 6 innings, it could be 7. How can you truly measure innings limits? Why not have a season-long total pitch limit if they're that concerned? Because however you do it, it's going to be messy down the stretch. I still think the right thing to do, if you're worried, is to give Sale a break every 5th or 6th start. Use mr offday or a callup. Doing so right now could be rough since we're missing Danks, but when Danks comes back, use that to give Sale a skpped start.

Rios can't see the ball at all.

PAUL KONERKO GOT AN INFIELD SINGLE!!

No way Gordon would have had the green light any other year of his career.

Nicely done Gordon. 6 runs, 0 HR.

Did Jordan get another hit? I need to stop changing the channel. Or perhaps this just means Jordan only gets hits when I'm not watching.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 05:46 PM) And you...and me...and lots of other fans We do that every game though...don't we?

You think every time Sale finishes a full game, Herm goes out and takes a shot of jack?
