If he ran the table, and in the process beat the Tigers and Verlander twice, plus the Rays at the end (maybe Price), he's got a good shot. I just want the Sox to win as many games as possible over the next 6 weeks, and have Sale win the World Series MVP. That would be my preference.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 08:32 AM) Got to figure they'll rest him for one of those somewhere. 3 of those are on 5 day's rest, the remainder are normal. Why is that? They could have used a 6 man the past 10 days, and instead pitched Sale on 4 days rest twice. This is the final push, with 39 games left. The rotation is set up for Sale to pitch Game 163/WC/Gm 1 ALDS. Unless they really blow it open (unlikely), they're probably sticking with the rotation they have and not skipping anyone.

He's got 7 more starts. 8-28 at Bal 9-2 at Det (Sunday night vs verlander) 9-8 vs KC 9-13 vs Det (verlander again) 9-19 at KC 9-24 vs Cle 9-29 vs TB

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 10:17 PM) Is that an actual Olympian ? I can't see a country. She wasn't in the olympics. Michelle Jenneke. She's a healthy girl.

Rays win again. Yankees are starting to feel the heat.

I am shocked by this information. No, not really. 12 games plus the IL playoffs.

A great Sale start coupled with Anibal Sanchez sucking again for the Tigers would be a nice combo tonight.

This is so embarrassing for baseball. Not that they take it....that's fine. Just don't get caught and make the rest of us look bad. That's what he's saying.

Anyone that holds any ill will against Mark Buehrle... Go play in traffic.

6-4 the last 10. 40 left. Keep going 6-4, and that's 91 wins.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 09:54 PM) Sweep the yankees, I called it before the series even started. Get swept by the royals, then go and sweep the yankees. That's sooo us. When they got swept in Detroit, they immediately won 5 in a row. I'm all for that again. How about 8 in a row this time?

Rays lost 1-0 in 10. They're probably not happy right about now seeing the yankees losing. probably.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) Ok not sure if I dare, but Beckham last two days = vintage Beckham? Do that the last 40 games and postseason, and we'll discuss.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:47 PM) Looks like the rumor about Sanchez to AAA is not true...for now Yeah, I don't know what happened there. Kenny was on CTL tonight and mentioned Sanchez. Said something like, "He doesn't know AA is supposed to be harder than A-ball. He's only 20, so I don't know how much more we want to push him". Or something close to that.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 01:31 PM) I'm just going to shut up here before I say something I shouldn't. Or maybe its before I say something I should. Either way, I walk away from this crap right now. I started to respond too, but I stopped myself.

Carlos Sanchez to AAA. Any chance...September?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 12:03 AM) I'm making a prediction that Courtney Hawkins will start 2013 in Winston-Salem. Hitters' park for a power hitting prospect, sounds good. They did it with Ryan Sweeney. You may be right, but I feel like this promotion to Kanny is just to give him a 20-game preview of next season. And then maybe do the same thing next August--to W-S, and so on. With Mitchell, Walker, and Thompson in the pipeline, they really don't have to rush Hawkins. They can be fairly conservative over the next few years, and he still could be a September callup in 2015, and that would be before his 22nd birthday. Plenty of time with this kid. Not everyone is Mike Trout and Bryce Harper.

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 12:21 PM) If his dog has been sick and it's been distracting him, I can't blame him at all. Similar to how Dunn's family problems probably contributed to his performance last year. Really? Really? It's an old pet that died. Not a child.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) I'm not sure. I voted for yes in 2013, but I worked through the math too quick. He'd have to hit another 8-10 this year to have a chance. It's possible, but he'd be much more likely to do it in 2014 if he returned. So, what does Paulie do if he has another year like 2012 in 2013? I'd love to see him retire as a White Sox, and maybe that's whatb will happen after next year. So that begs another question. Who is the future 1st baseman for the Sox? Is there anyone in the minors who could be that guy? Maybe Viciedo. Hopefully Mitchell, Walker, and Thompson are in the outfield in a couple years. Maybe Keon Barnum at 1b in 4 years, if we're lucky.

I like what Hawkins has done so far. He's not making it look easy with huge stats, which to me is good. I don't want the Sox rushing him. When I've checked his twitter, you can tell he's got a passion for baseball. He's not a basketball or football player that is playing baseball because its his best sport. He really loves the game, and I think that will serve him well in his climb to the majors.

In May, I would have said he's got a chance at 500--and the Hall of Fame. And I probably did say that. Now I doubt he plays past 2013. I think he retires after this contract.

Mariners have Beavan listed as their Saturday starter, and Millwood pitched pretty good last night, so I would assume the Sox will miss Felix this weekend. Vargas vs Peavy Beavan vs Quintana Millwood vs Floyd If they get past Vargas on Friday, hopefully this is a sweep. Mariners have been very good lately.
