I thought it was a decent gamble to send Beckham. No 3rd base coach is perfect.

Jays are breaking a 5-game losing streak today. Sox will still be going up there wth them on a 3-11 run.

If you have a Sox schedule and the game time says TBA for Aug 30, the Orioles have finally announced a time--11:35am Chicago time. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...al&c_id=bal

I think there are too many minor league geeks (I'm one of them too, so I can say that) that hear what one scout has to say and they take it as gospel. Sanchez is 20. I'd like to see what he can do over the next couple years before saying what he'll be 5-10 years from now.

We're going to need Sale to be really on to win this game. Like, 8 innings, 1 run.

50 games left. Go 6-4 five times, and we're in good shape. But I'll take 7-3 three times, then 5-5 the last two.

Current standings, and who they are playing next week: Oak 61-52 - (3 at KC, 3 vs Cle) TB 61-52 - (3 at Sea, 4 at LAA) Bal 61-53 0.5 (3 vs Bos, 3 at Det) Det 61-53 0.5 (3 at Min, 3 vs Bal) LAA 60-54 1.5 (3 vs Cle, 4 vs TB)

Angels lose too. Believe me, that's almost just as important.

Porcello/Darvish tomorrow. Dreaded lead off walk.

Rangers better win this.

Tigers bases loaded, 1 out, 1-1, 9th

Records through 112: Sox 61-51 Det 60-52 Oak 60-52 Bal 60-52 TB 60-52 LAA 59-53

Deserved to lose that one. Need to go 6-2 the next 8. No more bulls***.

Konerko out for a week...blessing in disguise?

Sanchez 3-4. If his ceiling is a 9-hole hitter that can hit .280 and play a decent 2B, then it's better than what we have. Seeing that he's 20, I don't think we know what his ceiiling is yet.

I predict Axelrod starts for the White Sox on Thursday or Friday.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 05:53 PM) Did WGN always have this pre-game show, this interview with Gregor and Merkin seemed all kinds of awkward. They usually have one on the weekends with Dan Roan. Rich King sounds like he had stroke.

How about a good old fashioned ass kicking tonight? 8 runs in the first few innings, tack on a few more....Liriano 7 good innings.

Yankees picked up Derek Lowe. Good luck with all that.

Roberto Hernandez (Fausto Carmona) starts Wednesday vs Angels.

Sabathia back on the DL. Sox probably weren't going to face him anyway.

Final 50 games: Sox: Home-24 Away-26 Above .500- 22 Below .500- 28 Tigers: Home- 25 Away- 25 Above .500- 22 Below .500- 28 Orioles: Home- 26 Away- 24 Above .500- 26 Below .500- 24 A's: Home- 21 Away- 29 Above .500- 28 Below .500- 22 Rays: Home- 22 Away- 28 Above .500- 29 Below .500- 21 Angels: Home- 29 Away- 21 Above .500- 26 Below .500- 24 A's and Orioles---No chance Rays---Maybe. They have the pitching Tigers will probably win the division unless the Sox beat them head-to-head. Then it's Angels or Rays at Sox or Tigers in the Wild Card Game.

Sox play their 112th game tonight. If they win, these are the records with 50 games left: Sox 62-50 Det 60-52 Oak 60-52 Bal 60-52 TB 60-52 LAA 59-53 Obviously, one of the two Central teams will win the division. Breaking down the final 50-game schedules, the Tigers are either going to win the division, or they are going to host the Wild Card game with Verlander on the mound.
