We are likely losing: Peavy (unless no NL or California teams want him) Youk (unless no one wants him in a thin 3B market) AJP (unless he takes a hometown discount or no other team wants his attitude in the clubhouse) Floyd (doubt sox will pickup the option with injury concerns, lack of consistency) Myers (gone) Liriano (I expect sox to sign him cheap as insurance / innings eater) Hudson (doesn't matter) I fear how old and broken down this team will be at the end of '13 if we bring back Peavy, Youk and AJP; the young talented teams are the ones killing it down the stretch. Unless Sale repeats his '12 performance and Danks comes back and wins 15+ games I don't see this team being close to competing so the team might as well continue in rebuilding mode.

No doubt this is a big disappointment, we lost many winnable games over the last two weeks with sloppy play and no clutch hitting...it may be a while before we get this close to the playoffs again if we have the type of off-season I am expecting.

They are going to continue the rebuilding process this off-season, averaging

Not only was it in their control but to go 1-8 is ridiculous...we aren't even go to make it a race...perhaps we were overachievers the first half and this is the team we really have. I know we are too old, slow and can't execute a bunt or make contact in clutch situations...at least we have some decent young arms and got production out of most of our high salary players but I think KW will continue with a larger retooling. The epic fail clearly started with the Sale loss in KC, Alexei being picked off 3rd was perhaps the low point (other than the numerous situations with the bases loaded, nobody out and if we scored 1 run it felt like a mental victory).

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) Twins 2-1. He should be your favorite. Liking him more now...liking Carroll a lot more! Close this out TWINS!

Valverde is my least favorite player in MLB...

Sox need to win a game they aren't supposed to tomorrow.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Just pitch everyone in order, get all the wins you can. Ditto, wins are wins, we need them, sweep minnesota and get the swagger going.

Lets make a statement game tonight and get on a roll all the way through the playoffs!

Wise > Humber

Humber should not have a meaningful appearance the rest of the year!!

I am glad I wasn't one of the 5,000 fans in attendance to watch this in person. I am guessing the Twins are a Prime opponent in the "anti-dynamic" pricing model.

Thank goodness the Tigers can't beat teams other than the White Sox. Our thin pitching staff has us totally screwed.

Awesome game, Sale is nasty...sort of like a skinnier not as ugly version of Randy Johnson.

NICE COMEBACK WITH INSURANCE!! HITTING BOMBS!!

Huge HR by Dunn...can't complain about his year so far, after seeing so many ABs last year where he couldn't even get contact.

lets got to the bullpen, another leadoff BB.

danks hold em here and have a chance for a W.

balz!

Rios do something here so we don't need to depend on our bottom 3 who are collectively hitting ~.150

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 04:49 PM) ok we're done. speaking for all of soxtalk, thank you.

heart of the order lets get some runs on this chump.

The team got better when the circus left town...shocking. If we can get some consistent offense we should be pretty good.

Pretty simple, they all suck and don't belong on any MLB roster.

I like the lineup changes today to mix things up. SWEEP!
