QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) Weird thing to hope for. Historically, top-5 Cy's and MVPs are noted as an accomplishment.

Hopefully Sale can finish 5th. That's about as high as he can finish unless Britton blows a couple saves.

I'm willing to be patient and see what happens between the last pitch Sunday and Monday afternoon. Hopefully Robin won't be back. And the stuff about a new manager not making a difference shouldn't even be a topic. Robin Ventura should have never got the job, so it's just the right thing to do to end his time here, and move on.

Scot Gregor thinks Robin will decline. Maybe this is a planned offer to come back for a year, he declines, and that's that. Everybody knows this should be a clean break.

If Zach Duke didn't pull off the El Duque in Boston...f***!

79 pitches. One more inning should be ok.

Orioles trailing, Tigers and Mariners leading. Hopefully there will be meaningful games on Sunday afternoon.

5 innings tonight and Sunday would be good. Sale is a major league starter. He should make all of his starts as long as the season is 162 games.

Eaton back in the lineup. Sale needs 17 scoreless innings for 2.99.

If Britton doesn't suck the next six days, he's going to win.

They don't vote until next Monday. Come on, people.

Or he gives the balls to people when he parks the boat near bars/restaurants. Doesn't seem anything other than three guys in their 20's doing something extremely risky, and the worst thing possible happened.

Giants got Gordon Beckham for the last 6 games.

Shields 21 starts: 10 quality starts 66 innings, 2.05 ERA 11 non-quality starts 41.1 innings, 14.37 ERA The thing with his quality starts, a lot of them feel like he had to max out to go 6 innings and had an element of luck to get there. It's been awful.

Tor 86-70 +1 Bal 85-71 -- Det 83-73 2 Sea 83-73 2 For 88-74: Blue Jays vs Bal 1-2, at Bos 1-2 Orioles at Tor 2-1, at NY 1-2 Tigers vs Cle 2-1, at Atl 3-0 Mariners at Hou 1-1, vs Oak 4-0

Ventura's final records: vs Cle 40-54 vs Det 38-56 vs KC 33-61 111-171 (.394)

The way Arnie looked at the Masters, this was coming. Legend.

HFA: Tex 92-64, 3 vs Mil, 3 vs TB Bos 92-64, 3 at NY, 3 vs Tor Cle 90-65, 4 at Det, 3 at KC Cle doesn't have tie breaker rights against either. Tex and Bos split 3-3, so not sure who gets it.

For 88-74: Tor 2-5, 1 vs NY, 3 vs Bal, 3 at Bos Bal 3-3, 3 at Tor, 3 at NY Det 5-2, 4 vs Cle, 3 at Atl Sea 6-1, 3 at Hou, 4 vs Oak Hou 6-0, 3 vs Sea, 3 at LAA

Corey Seager is an insta- hall of famer. He just has to play and stay healthy. Period.

David Dahl's homer in the 9th is the poster child of this year's juiced ball.

Unfortunate consequence, but today's cancellation could help the Braves get the 2nd pick, or cause them to fall to 7.

Interleague records are way important for AL teams: Tex 11-6, host Brewers this week Cle 13-7 Bos 14-6 Tor 13-7 Bal 14-6 Det 12-5, at Braves next weekend

Britton with another save in a 2-1 game.

It would be so White Sox if they come home and go 7-0 for 81-81. Leave 'em thinking you're close to competing.
