QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) If we go 4-3 against Detroit, that leaves them figuring out how to make up 3 games over the last 30. It really could come down to 4-3 or 3-4 winning or losing the division. Exciting stuff.

May have to find a way to go 4-3 against the Tigers.

And there it is.

Dirks down on 3 pitches. 2 out. Avila is clutch in these situations.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) I am way more worried about Detroit than Baltimore. I'm worried about the Sox getting to 91 wins.

Si!

Extras

Young, Baker, Dirks, Avila. Predict: Avila with a gapper to score Baker

Vizquel batting 6th? Wow.

Tied, going to the 9th.

Tied on a wild pitch. Nice going, Oliver.

2-1 Jays, two on for Fielder.

2-0 Jays going to the 7th.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is just a day off while starting every game. He'll be fine tomorrow night.

Don't know the Orioles rotation for next week, but since Tillman is starting Sunday, the Sox are facing everyone else but him. Tommy Hunter, please.

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.
