A month from today, the Sox finish a 10-game roadtrip that ends in Detroit. Can't say I'm optimistic they'll start winning games at a good clip. This team could look a lot different in 6 weeks, which maybe is a good thing in the long run.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) We've got plenty of other pressing needs. I'll be happy when he goes elsewhere. Agreed. The current players on the team have to play better before the Sox bring in outside "help".

The Sox never seem to win these kinds of games.

Keon Barnum 2-3, 3rd homer Only one K so far.

Interleague- AL 120 NL 90 Basically, after this coming weekend, an average AL team goes 10-8 in interleague. So the Sox need to sweep the Brewers. Let's do that. 12-3: Tex 11-4: NY 10-5: LAA, Det 9-6: Bal, Bos, Oak 8-7: KC 7-8: TB, Tor, Sox, Cle, Min, Sea No real bombs this year unless one of the 7-8 teams gets swept this weekend.

3-run homer for Barnum.

Hawkins GIDP on a 3-1 count. Can only get better.

Mitchell with a homer off a lefty in his first AB after the break.

Bristol- Olacio http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...blurok_brirok_1 No Hawkins in Game 1 of the doubleheader.

Tigers 5 interleague series... 2-1 in all 5.

Tigers coming up with Cabrera, Fielder, Boesch. Expecting only one guy to bat this inning.

Going to the 9th. 1-1

Feldman is out of the rotation.

Lead off double for the Cardinals in the 7th. Still 1-1.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 01:42 PM) I'm sure that I'm missing something, but wasn't Hawkins assigned to Bristol? Why wasn't he in the lineup last night? They didn't play last night. Doubleheader tonight.

Brewers switched up their rotation: Fri: Greinke vs Sale Sat: Wolf vs Humber Sun: Fiers vs Quintana I hope the word "salvage" isn't being used on Sunday.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) Baseball America ‏@BaseballAmerica #WhiteSox fans, your team signed all picks from top 10 rounds & $159K under budget That 159K goes to the Dave Wilder Defense Fund.

Escobar is at 3B tonight. I'd like to see what he can do with two weeks of regular play.

Released

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) I really hope it doesnt get that bad. I hope it doesn't either. I'd love nothing more than the Sox to win the next 4 games at home, and then 4-3 in Minnesota and New York, and 4-2 when they get back home against Texas and Toronto. That would put the Sox at 47-38 at the break. That's a legit record for a contending team. But if they're under .500 at the break, and then go 4-6 on the roadtrip after the break, and are in 3rd place, screw it. It's over, and should be.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Yes it would, the only untouchable on the roster would be Sale. Dodgers would have to be very interested in Konerko and Peavy, as they have the money to spend. As much as I respect PK, and would like to see him finish his career in a Sox uniform, in the right deal that he approves, you gotta pull the trigger.

Not much to say about this team. It was fun for 16 games. Win...lose...I don't care. Actually, them losing a bunch in the next few weeks would make July exciting trade-wise.
