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 (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!

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.

Alright, this game is over in a few minutes. C'mon boys.

Avila kills us in these situations. Expecting a walk off.

A lot of nice comments for Jim Leyland on Twitter.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 02:18 PM) I wouldn't move him unless we got some real value. 15 mil off the books is value...at least to me.

Damn you , De Aza. You can't even lose right.

Anderson 2-4, double

Three singles, a walk, and a wild pitch...and don't score. That's awesome.

Wanna see Garcia's homer? http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?con...05&sid=t494

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 09:48 AM) Kiley McDaniel thinks it's a two player draft right now, Hoffman and Rodon, noticeable drop-off beginning at #3. That will probably change I would think. 55 games left, if the Sox play .400 ball (22-33), they lose 100 games--and I think that gets them #2. Marlins would have to go 19-35 to lose 100, which could happen, but they just went 30-24 the middle 54 games, so they are improving.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 01:09 AM) May I introduce you to Misters Troncosco, Lindstrom, Veal, and Purcey? Those four guys have a combined ERA of 4.68, and the Sox overall bullpen ERA this year is 4.18. The Astros bullpen ERA is 5.11. As much as I'd like to see the Astros get hot at some point, and the Sox continue to suck, the Sox aren't getting the 1st pick. But the good news is the Sox have a very good shot at the 2nd pick...and that might be a better position to be in. The Astros will take Rodon because he's awesome and they need pitching. And the Sox will take the best offensive player, which is ok with me.

Astros bullpen is getting them the #1 pick.

Astros-Dominguez rbi double in the 9th. 3-2 Stros. Uh oh, dreaded lead off walk.

Astros up 2-1 in the 6th.

Garcia, 3-4, HR, BB, 2 runs, 4 RBIs Not bad.
