QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:41 AM) Isn't there a theory that if you look hard enough you will find some sort of injury to a pitcher's arm. I am hoping that is what this is and in 3 weeks he will feel better. I've heard of this theory. I've also read that eventually if they pitch long enough, every pitcher will suffer some sort of major arm injury. Some it happens almost immediately. Some it takes 20 years. The only ones who avoid it are the ones it would have taken longer than the length of their careers.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:20 AM) I'm not going to guarantee the Royals over the White Sox, but do you really believe with Danks out for probably two months that the White Sox should be favored over a Tigers team that just got back Fister and Austin Jackson? Many have been crying recently that Danks was given a contract extension. Now that he's for a little while, that shouldn't be used as a reason the team can't hang with Detroit. They have been hanging with them without Danks being healthy, and Floyd and Humber being horrible up until now. If Floyd or Humber or both bounces back and Danks returns healthy, the Sox will be fine. There's also no guarantee Detroit remains healthy.

The Sox have 3 runs. Holding even the Cubs to 2 or 3 on a night like tonight wouldn't be easy with anyone on the mound. Get the pounding out of the way and start a winning streak tomorrow.

This new Cubs hitting coach is pretty awesome.

According to the Tribune, KW suggested to the coaching staff Viciedo return to 3B. The coaching staff shot him down.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 06:33 PM) Something is clearly wrong with Danks. I dont like how these MRI results havent been disclosed yet. I don't know why the Sox would hold out releasing the results just because they were bad. The person evaluating the MRI probably wasn't available to evaluate. Its not unusual for it to take 24 hours. KW was on the pregame show, and unless he's a real great actor, he appeared to not know the result. He said he thinks its general soreness, that Danks said he was feeling better and the MRI wasn't taken because they suspect something wrong, it was just to cover all the bases.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) Sorry you are not upset about whatever clown decided to give this game away. Again, Stewart was the Sox most effective pitcher tonight. I don't know who else should have started. Bumping Peavy and Sale back is more helpful in the long run.

This would never have happened if Ozzie were managing.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) Notice how Jones sucks when you don't give him enough time to warm up. He should have been well warmed up when he gave up the homer.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:15 PM) Forgive me for being so mad I could punch the wall. I feel we CONCEDED tonight's game against a fellow Chicago team in OUR PARK by pitching Zach. God I'm mad. Zach was the Sox most effective pitcher tonight.

Nate's ERA is taking a beating tonight.

Nate BP Jones tonight.

LOL at Stone. "It will go as a very wild pitch"

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) Did he take BP at the Cell tonight? Yes he did. He said he hit pretty well. He used to weigh 275. His older brother whipped him into shape.

Alexei makes a play like that where there are maybe 2 or 3 other SS who could even come close to making, then he does something so boneheaded you don't see an 8 year old SS make. Maybe tonight's the night he gets everything turned on.

That was an incredible play by Anorexei. That throw was unreal.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 07:25 PM) Why did Dunn take that pitch? There was nobody on base. He wanted to get his daily strikeout out of the way.

That was a nice play by LaHair. Beckham can't get a break.

Dempster on the DL. That should make KW a player.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 07:17 PM) De Aza and Rios looked like they were on a collision course. Can't wait to see Soriano in the outfield tonight. LaHair in RF should be interesting.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) Wow, it doesn't even look like we have 30K there. If you wanted to sit downstairs, it was minimum $85 plus fees for the bleachers.

Hawk worries way too much about the Tribe.

Hollinsworth loves the Cubs line up tonight.

Melton is a nice man, but I wonder what kind of IQ he's sporting. He just said about the wind and flyballs, you're really going to have to stay after it or it may wind up in the upper deck. I'm playing the Frank Thomas drinking game, and the bottom line is I'm hammerred already.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) Why have you gone to so few? Perhaps we can get some insight in to the problem using you as an example. I think 10 games is a pretty good number on June 18th. My season ticket account partner and buddy died in an accident last season. Its the main reason I gave them up. Although we were thinking of ditching them and going the stubhub route. Going to the game with your wife isn't nearly as fun, and getting someone all the time is a pain in the ass. I've been using stubhub exclusively this year, and haven't paid season ticket face yet.
