Wow, that's pretty incredible. 3 blown saves in a row. Wonder if that's ever happened before for him? edit: answer my own question. Yes, first time.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 11, 2013 -> 02:00 PM) Hawk under the weather. Wimpy there to be honored today so they dragged him into the booth. Hawk was on Talkin' Baseball yesterday. He sounded real tired and slow. It was weird.

Leury Garcia is active on the Round Rock roster, but hasn't played since Thursday, so maybe they are trying to get him through waivers and he'll be moved over here in the next couple days. Hopefully there's a gentleman's agreement in the industry not to interfere in this case.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 05:18 PM) I missed Garcia's single, was it hard hit? Not crushed, but a solid single up the middle through the infield dirt.

Michael Earley promoted and Leesman back to Charlotte. Carlos Sanchez hits the DL.

Rienzo starts Beckham, Gillaspie, Ramirez, Dunn, Konerko, Garcia CF, Danks, Phegley, Tekotte

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 09:48 AM) Right. I just figure someone has to move up with the Knights outfield empty with Danks, Garcia and Tekotte all up in mlb They moved up Adam Heisler, who is more of an organizational filler type.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 09:41 AM) Is Jacobs going to go to AAA? Doubt it. He's new to AA and the Barons are going to the playoffs.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 09:25 AM) They should be buyers in the sense that they will be putting a lot of money into the draft and international signings. If they can nab some top talent that way I will be excited. Free agents are seldom worth the price tag unless you catch lightning in a bottle on someone no one gets too excited about when they sign (like Jermaine Dye). For now keep chasing Houston down. The Sox would have to be 7 games worse than the Astros over the last 48 games to get the first pick. That's not happening. The Sox are getting the 3rd pick next year. Once the Marlins shut down Fernandez, they'll lose more and get the 2nd pick.

Back to being on pace for 61-101. Made a trade today. Well done.

They should send Axelrod to the draft next year to announce the Sox pick.

Clockwork

Axelrod..here we go

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:14 PM) Josh's on base percentage isn't very good. Hope he's learning. Manto'd

Phegley walk off coming.

Miggy just took Mariano deep to tie it.

Here's that Hahn interview... http://chicago.cbslocal.com/audio/986-670-...-interviews#986

Hawkins 1-3, BB, no K's K's are coming down a little.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) New lady friend? Same one. Getting married in November.

First ML homer for Tekotte.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) Don't worry, they left him in long enough to possible get a loss Ventura is obsessed with getting pitchers applause.

Jacob May hit by two pitches tonight. No longer in the game.

What are the chances the Sox score a run now and hold on the lead so Leesman gets a win? Slim? None?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:27 PM) Viciedo getting blown away by this awful pitcher He's getting traded this offseason.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) I don't think this newfound payroll flexibility is going to do anything to diminish the team's aversion to pursuing clients of Scott Boras. Hahn talked about Boras today with Bernstein. It's been said before, but the problem really isn't dealing with him...it's the time it takes to sign his players. The Sox usually don't outbid teams, so they don't have time to wait until mid-January and in the process lose out on their next best options too. Makes sense.
