Also today is August 9th.

Did he hurt himself playing or off day nonsense? Nevermind- they said it happened in the on deck circle on Saturday. Stretching it out.

He'll be a college or minor league coach/manager before too long. Probably will be a good one too.

Triple for Ichiro. 3000.

McCann cleared waivers. Goin' for it, 2017.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) He only needs 1. My bad. He'll get it today.

Ichiro getting a start today. Needs two for 3000. Could come next weekend vs the Sox.

After this loss, if the Sox lose two of three in KC, they will be 31-50 in their last 81 games.

The only person I'm hoping actually knows what he's looking at and doing a good job is Nick Hostetler.

I want the Orioles to win the division anyway, so I hope Bundy does his thing.

No hitter alert. Too soon?

Next year is just going to be another attempt at winning with roughly the same team and new coaching staff. Sale, Quintana, Shields. Rodon, Gonzalez will be the rotation unless Shields goes in a waiver deal this month. They'll start the season with Melky, Frazier, and Lawrie. They'll sign two different catchers again. Same old stuff.

Probably 6th at best, 13th at worst. If they play the last 54 like the did the previous 54, they'll finish 75-87. Nine teams are projected to finish worse than that, so it looks like they'll be on the bubble. My guess is they'll get to that final week at home vs the Rays and Twins, with Sale potentially starting two games for 20 wins, and Quintana maybe also in the Cy race, and they'll finish with 77-79 wins by having a hot last week between two irrelevant teams. 12th pick.

8-22 vs Indians, Tigers, and Royals, with 27 games left against these teams. 15-40 at Comerica since 2010 Stay hot.

Tigers are on fire. Oh well.

Get Sale off the hook at least.

Something I heard last night that I didn't know...Brian Downing made his debut May 31, 1973. Came in on defense at 3B in the 7th inning for Melton. One pitch. Hurt his leg. Came back a couple months later. First major league hit was a homer off Mickey Lolich. Then had a 20 year career.

Somebody I never heard of, to starting CF of the Sox, to out for the year in about 60 hours. What a season.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 09:19 PM) tim Andersons obp is under .280 That was inevitable. He's not good.

Is it difficult keeping your f***ing pocket tucked in?

The guy threw a fastball down the middle with a 7-run lead. Avi still sucks, Hawk.
