Went to my first game this season last night...wow. Just wow. We'll take it.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 03:53 AM) I have the 7 DVD set. Games 1-4 of the WS. Game 5 against the Angels and game 3 against the Red Sox + the2005 WS bonus DVD. Also have my own DVD I made of the parade and switching channels to ESPN and as many reports/stories of the Sox winning it all as possible. I have all 12 postseason games on VHS tapes that I still need to convert to DVDs. But I have the boxed set and the other two discs that were released too.

Rays win again. 70-55. Cobb shut out the A's. 2nd wildcard: Bal 67-57 - Det 67-57 - Oak 67-57 - LAA 65-60 2.5

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Not enough innings and in the eyes of the voters he is a afterthought right now. He is in the team picture, but not getting the respect the other pitchers are. He's got 7 more starts. 8 if it goes to 163. He's facing Verlander twice, at least. If he dominates the rest of the season, he's winning the Cy. He probably will have a bad start or two and Price or Verlander or weaver will get it. But let's not write Sale off. He's very much in the hunt for that award. But again, I'd rather he win World Series MVP.

Leyland made it official...Verlander moved up to Tuesday, then next Sunday night against the Sox vs Chris Sale. Breaking Bad will have to wait an hour.

Gets to face Zach Stewart in his first game.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) What does the -1 mean? How did a sweep of NYY result in -1 of anything? Collectively, it's what they have to do to get to 91 wins. So if the Sox do what's below the line, they'll only win 90 games, which makes them -1. Tigers have done what they're supposed to, so they are Even. I have the Tigers going 24-14 the rest of the way, including 4-3 against the Sox. Hopefully we do better than that.

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.

7/23 - 10/3- to win 89 games vs Min 2-1 (3-0) +1 at Tex 1-2 (2-1) +2 at Min 2-1 (2-1) +2 vs LAA 2-1 (2-1) +2 vs KC 2-1 (1-2) +1 vs Oak 2-1 (2-1) +1 at Tor 2-2 (3-1) +2 at KC 2-1 (0-3) E vs NY 2-1 (3-0) +1 vs Sea 2-1 at Bal 2-2 at Det 1-2 vs Min 2-1 vs KC 2-1 vs Det 2-2 at Min 2-1 at KC 2-1 at LAA 1-2 vs Cle 2-1 vs TB 2-2 at Cle 2-1 39-28

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.
