QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 12:40 PM) cough 2nd wild card cough I honestly believe it will be a battle between the White Sox and Red Sox Could be. Tonight's game is big. Don't want to lose the season series 6-2.

3-0 Tigers, top 3. They're hot, and Fister now has back-to-back great starts. If they go 52-29 the final 81, nothing to do but tip the cap. That means 43-27 the rest of the season.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:40 AM) I love when you just mix and match your time frames to suit your arguments Did you know the Sox and Tigers are both 12-7 over their last 19? Amazing! They are both on fire! Weren't you the one that said the Tigers were 7-3 in the last 10, when they'll clearly 8-2, and 9-2 over the last 11? I think that was his point.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:00 AM) Has anyone posted about this? Missed it a couple days ago. @jnorris427 Heard from a source that ‪#WhiteSox‬ are definitely "zeroing in" on ‪#Yankees‬ Betances. https://twitter.com/jnorris427/status/225000416818118659 It's been mentioned, but really, what does it mean to the 2012 Sox? I don't understand why he's such a target at this point other than they like him for 2013 and beyond.

Ok, then. Hopefully get a split tomorrow.

Walker got in there late, and grounded into a double play and struck out to end the game.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 01:15 PM) Jon Morosi tweets that the White Sox are looking at Clayton Richards, the worst fielding pitcher I ever saw. Bill Melton? Is that you?

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 12:53 PM) Holy cow... Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale The #RedSox and #Marlins discussing blockbuster: Carl Crawford and prospect to Miami for Hanley Ramirez and Heath Bell. #MLB That actually makes sense for both teams and all of the players.

I'd like to hear an honest assessment of Trayce Thompson from somebody within the Sox organization. And I do mean honest. Hopefully he's just a late bloomer hitting for average, but I have no expectations that he'll be anything 2-3 years from now.

Severe thunderstorm watch in Boston until 9pm (assume eastern time).

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 11:45 AM) It's a four gamer with the Sawx. Quintana going tomorrow. Looks like Sale, Peavy and Humber for the Tigers series. Peavy is Friday. Sale is Saturday. I would think they'll stick with Axelrod for one more start on Sunday.

6-4, 200. Just turned 16. Riiiiiiight....

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) So, I'm getting lost here. Doesn't that leave us down a guy? Maybe Putz is coming? Well, let's see here... Jones, Santiago, Omogrosso, Septimo, Thornton, Reed I would assume Hernandez will be sent right back after the game tomorrow night, and they'll make a different move...don't know if Bruney is ready, or if they'll just hold off until Crain can come off the DL.

Marinez sent back to Charlotte.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) It's hard to look that guys name up. I only knew him from Seinfeld and trying to find the guy that played Kramer on the Jerry Show is a tough google. Larry Hankin

Regular lineup tonight. PK remains at 4.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 02:07 PM) Thanks, I remember that one now. Great scenes with George. He stole the raisins.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 02:00 PM) The Fring killing is the best death scene in the history of television. BTW, and apologies if it's been discussed, but where have I seen the sleazy guy who played the junkyard boss before? Love that dude! He played Kramer on the Jerry show (Seinfeld) He played Heckles on Friends.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) Milwaukee isn't moving Greinke for Floyd. Floyd and 2 or 3 others, maybe. Gee, ya think?

This is just for me to look back at... The Sox need to be at 73-57 with a 2 game lead on Detroit going into the final 32 on August 31.

I don't how much longer they can afford to keep him at 4. My suggestion last night was move Rios to 2, where he's hit before and succeeded, and let Youkilis, Dunn and Konerko hit behind De Aza and Rios to get more RBI opportunities. I don't think that's going to offend anyone. Konerko knows he needs to start producing again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Rotation seems to be: Tues-Humber Wed-Hernandez Thurs-Quintana Fri-Peavy Sat-Sale Sun-Axelrod Give me 7-7 the rest of the month right now. I'll take it.
