QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 11:57 AM) The Rongey interview from White Sox weekly? Really? That's weird. Rongey asked about it because he said he'd been getting texts and messages for weeks to ask about Hawkins. Yeah, I don't know why they would cut something out. I remember back in spring training Bell mentioned a pitcher that retired that morning, and when the interview hit the podcast, they cut it out. So maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe he said something that he shouldn't have and somebody above him had that part of the interview cut out for the podcast so it can't be rebroadcasted. I missed it live this weekend, so I really don't know if he said anything that was questionable.

Only watching Dexter just to see how it ends. This season has been boring. Should have ended after 5 seasons.

Late to the conversation, but the thing about the difference between Kannapolis and Winston-Salem... While I can see the difference in pitching might be negligible, I look at it from a confidence standpoint. He's going back to Winston-Salem next year. There's no way he can go to Birmingham to start next season. So if he would have started at Kanny, they could have still promoted him to W-S in 2014, where he feels like he's moving up, rather than staying in the same place---which could affect his confidence and attitude. It should have been explained when he went W-S in late 2012 that he was only going there to get more at-bats, but he'll be at Kanny in 2013. But what's done is done now. Hopefully Hawkins is an improved player next year. BTW, the podcast version of the Bell interview cut out the part where they talked about Hawkins. I don't think that's an accident.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) Given the similarities between 2005 and this year, I'm sure the Sox will win 1-0 And then go 50-16 the final 66 games like 1983.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 01:27 PM) Peavy to pitch Saturday vs Braves No pressure or anything, but we really need him to be good for two starts.

The June 12 game will be made up September 23 at 7:10.

Great start for Spencer Arroyo. 7 inn, 4 hits, 0 runs, 0 bb, 5 k

Ravelo was replaced as a pinch hitter and he was DH-ing tonight. For the next 13 days, if I see something like this, I'm going to assume the player was traded. Seriously though, the deadline can't get here soon enough.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 08:49 PM) I'm not so sure he has. His K/PA is 28.4% after today. His assignment straight to Kannapolis was too aggressive IMO, but still, that's concerning. At 20, and just getting started, I'll take a batting average over .300. It's the Sox system after all, where .200 hitters are everywhere. But I see your point, and considering the Hawkins season, maybe they would be better off starting Anderson at Kanny next year.

Barnum ended up 4-5, 3 runs. Anderson 1-6, 3 K. He's been pretty good with the bat though.

PK RBI single. Jacobs 2 K's. Barnum 4-4. When does that ever happen anymore?

It was well done. Wish it went 90 minutes to include more stories. Of course, he probably wouldn't tell stories that would put the Sox in a bad light, but I'm sure he's got some good ones. I'd rather he not die in the booth though. He's almost 72. If he's still here when he's 75, it's going to get real sad...not just annoying like it is now.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130718 Lots of beisbol tonight. I would think Konerko and Jacobs will be in the Birmingham lineup.

Jon Heyman: Not surprising. There's no deal out there that would work for two sides anyway.

Hawk Doc vs Sharknado at 6. Decisions.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 07:46 AM) Or Dunn is about to be traded? That would be nice. I'll believe it when I see it.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 07:08 AM) Huh, with Wilkins and McDade, not sure why they need more 1B / DH types. Maybe Konerko is retiring in 11 days.

Sox signed Travis Ishikawa, and assigned him to Charlotte.

Hawkins homer, 2-4, 1 K

CH- Single

CH-K Ravelo double. .316 average. Dude hits.

The award was given to the sentimental choice. That's all. I'm glad Sale pitched well, and got the win. Most years, he gets the MVP. But since it's mostly about marketing and doing the "classy" thing, they gave it to the old guy. Hopefully Sale will earn another MVP some year, and they'll actually give it to him so he can enjoy it with his family.

Rob Neyer at least is saying it. http://www.baseballnation.com/2013/7/17/45...-mvp-chris-sale
