QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 02:39 PM) Is he leading the batting average race? If so does that mean he just won it? He won't qualify, I don't believe. Not enough PA's. edit: he was one PA away from qualifying.

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 02:01 PM) AJ is gonna be up after him. It's not unfair to think something's up. The guy is putting up career numbers in a contract year at 35. I hope not, but who knows what these guys do. I'm sure the Sox aren't immune.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 02:01 PM) To be fair...he's not the only reason the AL lost that game. Yes, but still. Awful having one of baseball's "stars" playing dirty. And there will always be that year where the AS MVP got busted. The 50-game penalty must not be enough of a deterrent to not take a chance. Make it a year, and see if that works.

And homefield advantage goes to the NL champion because of ALL-Star MVP Melky Cabrera. Another banner day for MLB.

They need to make it first time---one year. Second time- lifetime ban.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) It would really suck if we lost the division by 1 or 2 games, knowing that we lost a series to the Astros and all. We'll be able to pick apart the season, and point to different things if they come up a game or two short. If the Sox do come up short, it will more than likely come down to losing the season series against the Tigers 11-7 or getting swept in Anaheim in September, or losing 3 out of 4 vs Tampa Bay the final weekend, or losing 2 of 3 vs the Indians in the last series. But hopefully the Sox get to 90-92 wins and we don't have to worry about that.

Astros attempting to win their second road series this season against the Cubs today. You know their only road series win.

Is Sale really starting on 4 days rest Friday? Didn't think it would happen. Still kinda don't.

Thompson -triple in his first AA game. The short season teams continue to make outs.

Game of inches. We'll take it.

Willingham!

I don't understand the Wise bashing. He got an RBI the other day. He's here because the Sox have no farm system. Just have to deal with it until Konerko gets back and September 1st gets here.

Sox shouldn't lose to this current Jays team. Not good.

De Aza Wise Rios (say what) Dunn Youkilis Pierzynski Ramirez Viciedo dh Beckham

Sox sign a Dominican righty. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospe...er-victor-done/

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 08:52 AM) So what. He draws a lot of walks. Dunn is a good guy to have on the team. Not at the level he is paid, but he shouldn't bat 3rd. His average is getting pretty low, but he seems to have some support at the .204 or .203 mark. When he dips this low, he's been getting it up to about .215 the last few times before tailing off again. He's due to get hot. They are going to need him to get hot, especially without Paulie. He been awful, and he needs to have a good road trip. Hopefully he hits four homers this week, and they can take down that ridiculous sign in right field.

http://twitter.com/CHawkins10/status/234788234436177920 I thought he is hurt, but ok....

Our 3-hole hitter is hitting .177, with a .691 OPS since May 30 (62 games).

Mitchell kinda stinkin' up the joint in Charlotte.

Angels start their 10-game home stand by losing a series against the Mariners, including Weaver's start. Not good. 60-55. They have the Indians for 3, and the Rays for 4. Huge series next weekend.
