QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 31, 2012 -> 07:34 PM) Please not Thornton, where's Septimo when you need him? DL or rehab I think.

That ball call really hurt Peavy. Would be lucky to survive this inning...somehow. Cabrera simply a hitting machine. Ventura always goes just a bit too long with Peavy and 85% of the time it comes back to bite him.

PERFECT, Jake.

0/12 with RISP now. 6 walks, 2 HBP. Just can't BUY a hit, not unlike the Tigers' series against KC. White Sox have lost 15 of their last 18 games in DET.

White Sox 0/11 with RISP after entering the game leading the AL at .294, Tigers second at .287.

Go ahead 2 run homer at USCF. C'mon, Alexei. Need the clutch hit or at least a fly ball.

Peavy finally finding his rhythm. RH batters are STILL only hitting .199 against him on the season. Pretty impressive.

Ventura's seriously going to use Veal or Nathan Jones here? I hope not.

Just haven't been able to come up with that big clutch hit tonight to take the lead.

Great AB there by Dunn...battling back. ELEVATE PAULIE.

5 walks in 5 innings for the Tigers' pitching staff.

Somehow, this will backfire too on Ventura. At least that move worked out. White Sox in danger of losing 7 of their last 8 on the road, 5 in a row to the Tigers after starting out 4-3.

Way to let Cabrera beat us, lol. Interesting fact, Fielder has never hit .300 in a MLB season. Wise caught flat-footed and Cabrera snuck into 3B. White Sox just giving this game away in multiple ways: Peavy, hitting with RISP, Dunn and Wise sleeping, etc. Setting up the DP by walking Young twice? Gave Young a 3-1 cookie right down the middle and he fouled it off.

9 runners stranded in 5 innings. Probably see a reliever for the Tigers next inning. Might be Smyly to get Wise/Dunn. Albuquerque will be back Sunday.

And the Tigers get the Indians at home next week. They're not going to give the division lead back again so easily if they manage to get it back this time.

QUOTE (bulokis @ Aug 31, 2012 -> 06:23 PM) If we make the playoffs, when do you start Peavy. He talks a big game but cant pitch in one. He has to start 2nd or 3rd. Sale, then Liriano/Peavy depending on how they pitch down the stretch. Peavy probably deserves it based on his overall season's body of work. White Sox have already stranded 7 runners in this game.

I wonder what the winning probability of teams that have the bases loaded with no outs and don't score in any given game? They did score on the HBP, but I mean...but it can't be very high. Maybe 15%

We deserve to lose this game. The Tigers wanted to give it to us and we choked big time. Please please don't bring Peavy back next year. He's not going to be worth the money, and he's never been a big game pitcher. Peavy now showing up, either. They can't even give us a game if they try. At least not in Detroit.

Dadgummit, had the best chance in the world to put the Tigers back on their heels and couldn't come up with the big hit against a struggling pitcher.

Very good play by Beckham there.

Infante thought there were 2 outs, lol.

Great Tigers defense so far tonight. That's two plays that should have been made already.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 31, 2012 -> 05:48 PM) Jake is being very average, which is usually what he's been recently. inb4 Jordan4Life tells me I'm wrong, but I don't care because I see a guy who is struggling 3.10 ERA over his last 15 starts, 8 losses, mostly due to our bullpen and crappy run support.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2012 -> 05:47 PM) What's our record since DeAza has been out? I assume not good. I just tuned in. I assume Jake is sucking. Nice game, Jakester. It's definitely not bad...a week ago, we were at a season-high 16 games over .500 and riding a 6 game winning streak. We've gained 4 1/2 games on the Tigers since we left at the end of the sweep.

.462 average for Cabrera with 2 outs and RISP.
