QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 10:18 AM) Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales Jake Peavy will donate $24,100 toward pancreatic cancer research after 241 strikeouts were recorded Saturday. Jake Peavy ‏@JakePeavy_44 241 total strikeouts yesterday! 24 in our game (most on day) & 21 in Padres game (2cd most of the day) isnt it ironic how things play out! Am I bad guy for not liking this? What I mean is, is he out there on the mound thinking about this, trying to strike guys out? It's not like yesterday would have mattered, but I'd rather not have players donating money based on their own performance. He's got Twitter. He's got the Sox team PR dept. at his disposal. There are many ways to get the word out to donate to causes.

Indians score 1 in the 1st inning. Could have been worse. Strand 3.

First place with the Sox going 9-7 in Peavy's starts. I'll take it. The key to the second half is health. If Peavy and Sale make all of their starts, and Danks can give 10 healthy starts, the Sox should win 90 games and go to the playoffs.

Humber is starting Sunday for Charlotte.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) I've seen him and I'd have to say the White Sox were sold a bill of goods. It's possible both teams won't be happy with that deal in the long run. So bad/bad, and move on.

Peavy must be saying "save some for me". Sox have scored 2 runs in his last 3 starts.

Royals/Twins doubleheader tomorrow. KC may be in 3rd place tomorrow night.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 09:41 PM) I really like that Robin let Quintana go 6. Yes, and even though Q wasn't great, he didn't completely implode. He was due for a bad outing, and he still came away with the W.

13-13 in June. Let's not have a losing month this season. Deal? Ok, then.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 09:46 PM) What is going on down in Bristol? Hawkins gets pulled, Basto gets pulled and DeMichele as well. I wouldn't read anything into substitutions in rookie ball.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 04:19 PM) Bauer got hurt. Dbacks have now also recalled Archie Bradley. 2 of their top 3 prospects called up this week. Really? I can't believe Bradley is ready. You sure?

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 01:40 PM) So Beckham has been 0-10 ever since being placed at the 9th spot Yeah, I know. He did kill a few to the outfield, so I'm not too worried. But I would have rather he stay at 2, move Youkilis to 6 or 7, and have AJ and Alexei batting 8th and 9th.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:24 PM) Cruise and Holmes getting divorced, hope it finally comes out that hes gay Her contract must have been up, and they couldn't agree to a new deal.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 01:05 PM) Brian Bruney to the DL w/ left hip inflammation Twist! Ok then....

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:44 PM) Very cool; I assume they are sending Axelrod down. I assume Axelrod is starting Wednesday. Crain to the DL likely.

Wow, his May/June numbers have been incredible.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 10:19 AM) Not a chance. If Humber comes back healthy, he gets at least a few starts to prove his stuff. If you break down what Humber has done since the perfect game, and what he has done at USCF over the last year, he really has no business pitching in this rotation. And possibly may not have a spot on the roster at all. Now will they give him a last shot? Probably. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was off the team by the first week of August.

Great win! Let's have Quintana beat the rookie tomorrow, and 3 out of 4 or a sweep looks possible. Could go a long way to win the division.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) Petition to change the Hawk "HE GONE" to "HELL YES" I knew he was going to say "hell yes" on that one.

A surprise 9th inning, indeed. Got to close this one out now. No excuses.

How about a surprise 9th inning for once.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Screw Sale pitching in the ASG. Much rather he pitch next Sunday, and then give him the days off Long run, I don't think his number of starts changes. I'm indifferent.

Maybe you move Axelrod up to Tuesday and let Sale pitch in the All-Star Game. For Sale, it's either get 2 starts before the before the break, and be at the back of the rotation after the break, or he gets an inning in KC and they start him Saturday or Sunday after the break.

Simon Castro- very nice so far!
