QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 08:28 AM) Tied with the Marlins for the 2nd/3rd pick, they're 5 games "up" on Milwaukee for the 4th pick, and 6.5 games "up" on the Cubs and Twins for the 5th/6th pick. They can win a couple here and there, especially when it's a sweep of the f***ing Yankees All ties go to the Astros, Marlins, and Brewers since they were worse in 2012, so subtract a game on those leads. If the Sox fall to the 4th pick, I'm not going to cry. If they draft 5 or lower, they won too much.

Holy f***, how many more times is Hawk going to talk about that game in KC with the rookie pitchers? As if that's proof the farm system is good. 8 rookie pitchers. Ok, Omogrosso, Axelrod, Septimo, and Marinez were in there. Big deal. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/KC...201207130.shtml BTW--Hawk keeps saying 10 rookie pitchers. Wrong.

Semien adds two walks. He's the s***. Garcia hit into DP, then 2-RBI single.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130807 Semien double, Garcia walk.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 11:43 AM) A lot of things are going to change between now and the draft. Astros are going to have the #1 pick though. That's true. Even if the Sox lose tonight, they would have to be 6 games worse than the Astros in the final 50 games, because tie goes to the Astros. Just play .400 ball, lose 100 games, and we'll get the 2nd or 3rd pick.

The month of May absolutely killed the Royals, but I still think they can be the hot team the rest of the way. The second wildcard is not out of the question if they keep pitching.

yay. 1 of the 8 wins this month if it's anything like June and July.

Crushing loss for the Indians.

Yankees look like they'll be under .500 in short order.

Pitching change-- Garcia will be up with the bases loaded. Walk. RBI

Jacob May - 4 homers in the last week.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 5, 2013 -> 03:38 PM) Hoping for an A-rod walkoff. How awesome that would be. 11 game losing streak (worst in 57 years) courtesy of A-roid. It's in Chicago.

It's not out of the question. He's been hot, warm climate, Texas boy, doesn't have to carry the team....there are some factors that would make him appealing to the Rangers.

Montas got hit in his non-throwing arm his last start for Lowell. Buddy Bell said he'll get his first start this Thursday.

I'm curious if we'll hear the actual evidence that got them all caught. It had to be more than just names written in a notebook. I'd like to hear the science of it, and how they didn't fail tests.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2013 -> 09:28 AM) I hope he does not get that opportunity, I hope he goes to AAA to start the year, as he should, and earns an opportunity to take over a position by midseason. If he has a good month at Charlotte, a good AFL, and a good spring training, I want him on the team next year. It's time to start crafting what the future of this team is going to be. If there's an opening in the infield, there's no good reason not to give him a shot for a team that will have no expectations next year. This is when you give young players opportunities, and sometimes they provide the best surprises.

Next year would be a perfect season to give Semien a shot to play everyday. I hope he gets an opportunity to make the team in spring training.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 08:08 PM) Baltimore Colts DL Art Donovan, 89. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/...0,2235243.story He was the best on Letterman. Very funny guy. Youtube has a bunch of them.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) Why give up outs to Axelrod? Dumb. I guess that's why.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 11:45 AM) The Sox have never lost every game of a road trip that was 7 games or longer. Today is the day. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Why give up outs to Axelrod? Dumb.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 03:40 PM) Miggy vs. Axe? No fair! Yeah, not a good match up.

Flowers? Non-tender candidate?

Probably Keppinger. Maybe Ramirez. Dunn, Konerko, Rios even being on the 2015 team? No chance.
