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

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.

Beck perfect thru 3. 3 k ...Lead off single in the 4th

Beck clean first inning. One K. Blanke took Bradley deep.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 07:20 PM) Leesman showing what we thought he was. Passable low 90s fastball, decent curve, plus change, hard on lefties, control problems. Even though his best pitch is his change up I tend to think he's best suited as a reliever. He should probably get a good September audition for next year.

He's there.... https://twitter.com/AvisailGarcia34/status/...5410176/photo/1

90% boos for Arod at home.

RBI single for Hawkins. Another hit tonight gets him to .200.
