Wait. Did I just hear Joe West is umping this series. f***ing wonderful.

41st rounder- Sam Phippen, RHP signed Assigned to Bristol

Hawk said the division will be won in the last 22 games because the Sox have 16 home games, but both teams have 28 home games left. Both teams will go 29-21 the final 50 games and end up on 92-70. Game 163 at Target Field on Oct 4.

Heidenreich might be something.

I like our chances better facing a lefty tonight. Rios, Konerko, Quentin, Jones, and Viciedo should be in launch mode tonight.

It would be funny if that happened, but really there's no reason to lose tonight. We should dominate Matusz tonight. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 12:30 PM) LMAO. Man, I just spit up some fruit punch. Well played, flavum.

I have both teams going 29-21 the final 50 games, so as far as I'm concerned they're playing for the division tonight. QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) I guess it depends on how you define "must-win", because the absolute worst position the Sox can be in after today is tied with the Twins with 50 games left.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sale makes his debut in a big situation...or at least a close game. Unless Danks goes 8+ innings, they're probably going to need him tonight because Ozzie is going to want to keep Thornton, Putz, Santos, and Jenks out of this game tonight.

49 QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 10:06 AM) Will Sale wear the cursed #41??

The 1980's called...they want their ballpark fad back. So lame. So, so lame.

I'd really like the Sox to win 4 games in the next...oh...52 hours.

I believe the rule is 20 games in a row. Anything over that needs approval.

Teahen grounds out to first, facing Nick Blackburn.

Charlotte- Hynick http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...rocaaa_chraaa_1 Birmingham- Edwards http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...biraax_jaxaax_1 Winston-Salem- Jones http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...wilafa_wswafa_1 Kannapolis- Bayne http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...gboafx_kanafx_1 Bristol- Casey http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...brlrok_brirok_1 Great Falls- Delk http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...grfrok_misrok_1

Have they said how long Teahen is going to be down there? He hasn't played in the field yet. Tonight will be his third game at DH. It may be a good idea to get him some field time too....not that it will help much.

Harrell was sent down the night he pitched. Jackson is on the 25-man roster, as he was required to be added on Saturday. QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 12:20 PM) Is Edwin Jackson on the 25 man roster? If not, Torres replaces Harrell and then Jackson replaces Torres.

Floyd has made 22 starts. 1st 11 starts: 6.64 ERA, 61 innings, 78 hits, 45 ER, 23 BB, 49 K, 7 HR 2nd 11 starts: 1.06 ERA, 76.1 innings, 54 hits, 9 ER, 17 BB, 63 K, 0 HR That's right. Floyd has not given up a homer in 11 starts. 77 innings. That's impressive.

Looks like Holmberg's first game with Missoula will be against his former teammates.

I love how Jackson's schedule is set up. He'll have a chance to succeed against some bad teams. 8-4 at Det 8-9 at Bal 8-14 vs Det 8-20 at KC 8-26 vs Bal 8-31 at Cle 9-6 at Det 9-11 vs KC 9-17 vs Det 9-22 at Oak TBD vs Bos TBD vs Cle Detroit four times. Baltimore, Cleveland, and KC twice each. Oakland and Boston once. They're stacking Danks, Floyd, and Buehrle vs Minnesota--which they should.

What's going on with Pangilinan? He's been out a while.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 07:06 PM) I would rather have Buehrle or Jackson pitch on 4 days rest vs. Baltimore, than then Torres pitch vs. Detroit. I would do.... Tuesday - Buehrle & Jackson (6 days rest) Wednesday - Garcia (6 days rest) Thursday - Danks (5 days rest) Friday - Floyd (5 days rest) Saturday - Buehrle or Jackson (4 days rest) Sunday - Buehrle or Jackson (5 days rest) Have then both pitch on Tuesday, and whoever has the shorter outing of the two would pitch Saturday vs. Orioles, and the other would pitch on Sunday. I just think a Buehrle or a Jackson on 4 days rest would pitch better vs. the Orioles than Carlos Torres would against the Tigers. Plus, it would save having to send someone down for Torres to come up. It's already been decided. Freddy is going to get extra rest, and start Thursday. Buehrle and Torres will go Tuesday, Jackson on Wed. Starting Friday, the rotation for the rest of the season should be Danks, Floyd, Buehrle, Jackson, Garcia.

If Sale gets called up, it'll be for Threets. Unless, they want Sale up while Threets is still there, I don't see why they would want 8 in the pen.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 07:00 PM) I think both will, one goes for Torres, one goes for Teahen. You can't call a guy back up for 10 days after he's sent down, so unless there's someone else in AAA we'd callup, Torres will hang around for about 10 days after his start. No, Torres wil be gone after his start. They don't need 13 pitchers. Teahen will be back on Wednesday, I would think.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 06:52 PM) Who goes down for Torres? Torres up. Viciedo down. Torres down. Teahen activated.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) Why is this, wouldn't it be the normal day for Freddy and Buehrle on Tuesday anyway, and who would we designate or put on the DL? Freddy is being pushed back to Thursday to get some extra rest. Buehrle and Torres are pitching Tuesday. Jackson on Wed. Freddy on Thursday. Then the rotation the rest of the season should be set...Danks, Floyd, Buehrle, Jackson, Garcia. Not sure what's going on with Sale, but Threets has done a good job. That would be a tough send down for him.
