Humber is what he is. 6th starter. If he's in there 7-8 more times to help the rest of the staff, and the Sox go 3-4 or 3-5, then he's done good enough. But if it's 1-6 or 2-6...then, not so good.

I think we're due for a walk off homer tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) You're the scheduling guru...what's the Sox strength of schedule the rest of the way compared to the Tigers? Overall, I think pretty even, but when we're done with the 4 game series with them in September, their schedule is cake, and we'll still have the Angels and Rays. I want the Sox to have a 5 game lead when that series is over. Otherwise, nothing will surprise me the final 19 games.

Alright, let's get something going.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) Wow BJ & Justin Upton both hit homer number 100 in their careers tonight. Pretty cool. You know there had to be a bet on that. Justin won by less than an hour.

Santiago-- 3 inn, 0 runs, 2 h, 2 bb, 5 k Bruney in relief.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 06:54 PM) 3-1 Tigers...this is one of those weekends where I'd be thrilled if we're 2.5 game up after Sunday. Yeah, or even 1.5 wouldn't be that bad. Next week, we're still home vs KC and Oak, and Tigers play the Yankees and Rangers. At the end of play on August 12, Sox will be up 3 games.

Santiago strikes out the side in the 1st.

Charlotte- Santiago http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...chraaa_louaaa_1 Birmingham- Rienzo http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...mobaax_biraax_1 Winston-Salem- McCray http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...potafa_wswafa_1 Kannapolis- Jarrett Casey http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...romafx_kanafx_1 Bristol Gm 1- Olacio (Barnum is starting, and the game is delayed--shocker) PPD http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...brirok_dnvrok_1 Bristol Gm 2-PPD Great Falls- Jonathan Casey http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...misrok_grfrok_1

Dempster is out 4.2 innings, 103 pitches 8 runs, and responsible for 2 more.

No, I'm sure Humber will be fine tomorrow night.

Thompson 2-3, HR #22, 84 RBIs If he finishes up strong (maybe hit .250), that would be a pretty good season.

Looks like the Angels will have to use their bullpen tonight. Hopefully after a series with Texas, they'll come in a little flat and/or want to enjoy a weekend in Chicago.

9 weeks to go.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 08:47 PM) Come on Boston, come back and win this thing. This is a big game for us with the Angels coming to town. 6-5 Det now. If the Tigers lose this one, I'm not going to cry if the Angels win 2/3 this weekend. They're hot. Hopefully the Sox find a way to go 6-3. Sweeping Oakland would be nice.

6-4 Tigers, top 7

So Yu Darvish is human. That Texas heat may be something he's never dealt with. And now Josh Hamilton may be having more "issues". Angels are going to win that division.

Game 7 of the World Series is 3 months from today. Let's worry about it then.

Pretty good that the Tigers have only gained 2 games in the standings over the last 23, with them having a 13-2 run, and sweeping the Sox.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 03:21 PM) If the Sox go 31-27 the rest of the way, they win 90 ballgames. 33-25 for 90 wins.

That ends 23 of 32 on the road, over 38 days. 19-13 11-12 on the road 8-1 at home Besides getting swept in Detroit, can't complain at all.

Looks like it may start in a brief delay. Rain about to move through.

They are indeed pushing Quintana to next Wednesday for extra rest. LAA- Humber, Floyd, Liriano KC- Peavy, Sale, Quintana
