Griffey quickly thanked the Sox for getting to play in a race every day. No mention of Game 163. Great speech. His dad lost it.

4-6 vs Tigers. Showoffs.

C'mon Spanky. Save the pen.

Benintendi has played 144 pro games-- 35 doubles, 15 triples, 18 homers, 25 sb, .916 OPS Get me that guy. Ball player.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 12:02 PM) So when does the suspension officially start? Saturday to Wedneday. He's pitching Thursday.

So his Cy season goes from 33 starts to 32 starts, and when they shut him down the final series, it'll be 31.

Hahn meeting with the media at 11:45. The Score will probably have some sound 12-12:45.

Carlos Sanchez and Buck Farmer are up as 26th men.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 10:29 AM) Mental midget. Trade him. I agree to the point of sometime in the next 5 months, not 8 days necessarily.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) Peggy Kusinski reporting Sale won't be disciplined. Is mad about trade speculation. Sorry can't link on Twitter right now https://twitter.com/peggykusinski

The clubhouse is open. Being reported don't expect to see Sale at the park today.

I'd bet anything the comfort of the uniform had nothing to do with him tearing them up. It was a power play, being mad about the rumors of the team being torn apart in the next 8-9 days. In his warped mind, he probably thought he was being a leader and standing up for his teammates. Listening to Rozner this morning, I agree with him...this does nothing to his trade value one way or the other. Nothing has changed there. We'll see. 197 hours until the deadline.

Expecting a short, uneventful speech from Griffey, but others have surprised before. Blackout Game get a shout out?

I definitely think they should have let him pitch last night, especially at home. But the acts he took were horrible and deserve discipline, through a heavy fine....maybe make him pay for the replacements and apologize for being stupid. And the ugliness of the uniform is beside the point. Should be a fun day at the old ballpark.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 08:55 AM) Hasnt he pitched in these jerseys a bunch of times before? I don't think he pitched in the collared jerseys. To me, this isn't about the jerseys. It's about the trade rumors making him nervous, and he found a way to act out..."You're going to trade me and give up on this team? F you. I'm not wearing these s***ty uniforms tonight either!" Next thing you know, he goes ballistic.

Not scientific, but probably the majority of people on Sale's side are under 30, probably much younger.

Quintana is starting. According to Robin, a 26th man will be available.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 06:40 AM) I have tickets for this afternoon's game. Will I be able to get into the suspended game that starts at 1:10 pm or would I need a ticket for last night's game to get in? Anyone know how this works? You get to see both. The people last night saw their game.

Ventura said Sale will not pitch tomorrow. They get a 26th man for the second game.

Game resumes tomorrow at 1:10
