QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) Well, my belief is screw the ASG and focus more on Sunday's game. Leesman against that righty dominant lineup is a recipe for disaster. Makes you wonder why they just didn't have Axelrod pitch on regular rest today and Sunday.

Prediction... If Sale pitches deep into the game tonight, Charlie Leesman will start on Sunday.

QUOTE (soxmaniac! @ Jul 3, 2012 -> 12:19 PM) go sox go, go sox go, hey chicago whattaya say, the sox are gonna win today Don't do that again.

The next two would be great to get, before Harrison on Thursday afternoon. Get to 44-37 to finish the first 81. Get to .500 at home to finish the first 81. Youk's first home game. Let's win tonight.

Giddy up.

Berry, Cabrera, Fielder coming up in the bottom of the 9th. 6-4 Twins

Going to the 8th, 6-4 Twins

Make that 0-11 for the Braves on Monday's. Outscored 59-14

Do we really trust the Twins bullpen to get 9 outs before giving up at least 2 runs?

That should be an Indians loss. Nice job, Downs. Twins up 6-4, top 7.

6-4 Twins after 5. Too much time left in this game. Weaver came back out for the 8th after a stressful 7th. Indians got the first two on base. 3-0 Angels, 8th. Go bullpen.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 2, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Not anymore. Shoemaker in Birmingham's lineup, so everyone can finally shut the f*** up about that. Wow, a little hostile there. Have a beer.

Thompson hit those two homers off a righty having a good season.

Twins took it to Fister. Might get some help tonight.

Braves are 0-10 on Monday's. Outscored 55-13 Trailing the Cubs 1-0, top 6

Verlander is pitching the third game after the break, and will face the Sox July 20. Just assume we're facing him 3 times in the second half. I hope the Sox are planning their post-break rotation carefully.

1. Sale vs Oswalt 2. Axelrod vs Feldman 3. Quintana vs Harrison 4. Peavy vs Laffey 5. Floyd vs Romero 6. Sale vs Cecil Sweep this week at home.

Marlins are only 4 games out of a playoff spot. I don't know if they are the only team to do this, but their 5 starters have made every one of their starts. If that continues, Bell actually closes games, and some of the underachieving offensive players start hitting, the Marlins could be a second half team. 10 NL teams are very much in it, and the Marlins are one of them.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) Nice day for Joey DeMichele, who proved to be too good for rookie ball. He's been promoted to Kannapolis Good. Like that move.

The best revenge would be for AJ to kick the Rangers' ass the next couple games. Maybe round the bases, hit home plate, and wave to Ron Washington.

Hawkins first pro homer.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 06:41 PM) I'm sure they'd give him up for Sale. Viciedo might well do it too. Did I really have to say "minor league chips"?
