QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 01:23 PM) No thanks. Angels or Rangers please If the Angels somehow catch the Rangers, ok. Otherwise, I'd rather see the Tigers make it over the Rangers and the east teams.

Duncan hits two homers off Verlander. No problem....Tigers put up a 5-spot in the 7th. Lead 7-4. Tigers/Brewers World Series, please.

Shelly Duncan 2-run homer off Verlander. There goes the MVP.

This Beckham talk is depressing. He allowed the veterans and Greg Walker to ruin him.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) I heard that earlier this week as well....Hence the gamethread title We shall see. If it were up to me, he wouldn't have started tonight. After tomorrow, you could give Floyd, Buehrle, Humber, Stewart, and Danks 4 starts, and Axelrod the doubleheader game. /fin

Tragic Number - 14 So I guess that means Peavy gets two more starts.

I hope Peavy gets shelled early and Axelrod gets 5-6 innings as today is his normal turn.

Konerko sits. Dunn at 1B.

Besides the 172 K's, I'd say Trayce Thompson had a successful season. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=572204 Next year at Winston-Salem, I hope to see the average up and the K's down significantly.

2012 MLB Schedule will be released next Wednesday, 9/14. Sox are supposedly opening in Texas. Home opener vs Tigers Interleague besides Cubs-- home...Astros and Brewers away...Cardinals and Dodgers

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 09:39 AM) Another great Breaking Bad last night. Gus's story is just awesome. I also love that the cartel guy is the old star from Scarface. I love how Gilligan uses flashbacks. Just a great show.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) Why not? Can't just say that without backing it up. I've heard a couple writers say Hahn won't want the Sox GM job if Kenny is still there above him. The whole "promote Kenny" thing never made a lot of sense anyway. Once he's no longer the GM, he's just got to be gone.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 10:36 AM) I think that the Forman/Paxson model is going to happen. If it does happen, it won't be Hahn as GM.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 07:09 AM) Cooper. He's earned it. I can't believe no one has thought of him for the spot. He's been brought up before. And no f***ing way.

I think both will be gone. Kenny will resign. Ozzie will go to Miami, and the Sox will get some compensation.

I'd trade Danks, Floyd, and Quentin this offseason...as a starting point.

3.5 weeks left, and we know it's... D-backs at Phillies Braves at Brewers Bud is going to knee-jerk that extra wildcard next year.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 4, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Not that it would ever happen, but Fisk has no business managing. He would be awful. Most of managing is dealing with players on a personal level and dealing with the media. He would suck at both. I was really anti-La Russa, and still am sorta. But if I knew it was going to be a year or two just to get the Kenny/Ozzie taste out of our collective mouths, I'd take it. Dave Martinez intrigues me. He's been there with Maddon for a while, and I think that can only help him. Bob Brenly and Sandy Alomar are high on my list as well. I'd also like to hear what some of the Knight Sox have to say about Joe McEwing.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 3, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) I will no longer watch games in which Mark Buehrle doesn't pitch. This could be Mark's last month. So I will cherish his starts. Besides that, I will only track Viciedo, De Aza and Flowers. Aw come on now....you mean you don't want to watch three White Sox games in 27 hours starting tomorrow night? I mean, who would pass up seeing Zach Stewart and Philip Humber pitch on the same day?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2011 -> 07:06 PM) That would be a dumb thing to do. If you're out of contention, then pitch the daylights out of him and Humber, try to build up their arms as much as you can. Did you not hear Peavy the other day? He can't wait for the offseason, and his arm is dead. Get him out of here.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) ? This was his fault? They were shutting him down if they fell out of contention. That was my way of saying it's that time.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 3, 2011 -> 07:02 PM) I can't imagine how mad I'd be if we were like 2 or 3 games out True. I haven't been excited about a Sox game one way or the other since early April.

Send Peavy home tonight.

That 2010 draft looks pretty good now with Sale and Reed on the Sox, plus Saladino, Wilkins, Petricka, Blanke, and Ravelo doing some good things.

I'm kinda juiced for this game. If Danks outduels Verlander, maybe the sphincter gets tight on the Tigers the rest of the weekend and the Sox are 2.5 out going into the doubleheader Monday. Of course it's not probable, but at least they're still playing for something right now.
