Amazing. First place, and I still wouldn't be surprised if this team got gutted 5-6 weeks from now. They better get winning again, or this season will be ovah.

Ravelo got HBP and came out. Fun All-Star Game.

Looking at the rotation now, maybe Axelrod starts the last game in Minnesota, and Sale goes in the first game in New York. Keep him on a 6-day schedule. In that case , his last start would be July 4th, and then the All-Star Game is 6 days later.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) I know it's only a few weeks, but I think he'd be on pace for 4 more starts before the break. It'd be hard for me to see how you could keep putting him out there if he gives up 8 runs a start. He'd wind up getting a start a series, so the Brewers, Yankees, Rangers, and Blue Jays would be his opponents. Mil - Sale, Humber, Quintana Min- Peavy, Floyd, Sale NY- Humber, Quintana, Peavy, Floyd Tex- Sale, Humber, Quintana Tor- Peavy, Floyd, Sale Wouldn't be surprised if Axelrod started the last game before the break, and give Sale an inning in the All-Star Game, and more rest before his first second half start. But really, if Humber sucks on Saturday, he should be out of the rotation and let Axelrod start. And if they decide to send Humber down and bring up Bruney or Heath, fine with me.

Called up.

Sent down.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 02:22 PM) Who is sending AJ flowers? His wife? is Barrett apologizing. If we win today, we win the BP cup right? People might go crazy tonite. The Sox won the BP cup when they swept the Cubs at Wrigley. Tie goes to last year's winner.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) Terry Doyle, Deunte Heath, Veal and Bruney say hello as well. There's more than numbers in judging prospects vs. suspects. Doyle says konnichiwa.

Axelrod is still listed as the Charlotte starter tonight. Doesn't necessarily mean he's not sitting in a Chicago hotel right now, but they haven't officially done anything yet.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:03 AM) My issue is this, who is to say there werent steroids? Hell, we know Jose Canseco was all into them in the 80s, so how many players in the 80s were messing with them? We dont know, thats my problem with all of this. The short answer is nobody was hitting 50, 60, 73 homers a year in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's. Ok--George Foster and Cecil Fielder, but you know what I mean. But yeah, we don't know if Rickey Henderson or Paul Molitor juiced at the end of their careers. It's certainly possible. It was institutional cheating. If Mantle and Mays played in the late 90's, they probably would have done it too.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:43 AM) When you play the worst team in baseball at home, you should win. Not asking a lot. Especially with the Sox facing Wood, Wells, and Fiers the next few games, it's not a lot to ask for quality starts from Peavy, Floyd, and Sale the next three games with the offense scoring enough. The Sox need the next three, and then hope for the best against Greinke vs Humber.

12-6 to the break. Do it, or blow this team up.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 07:44 PM) It certainly stains his reputation, but I think he will get in. Maybe not first ballot, but he will get in It's going to take a long time, but I think they'll eventually have to radically change the voting process for the Hall. I think rational people know that players like Clemens and Bonds were greats of their era with or without steroids. While McGwire and Sosa accumulated their numbers mostly because of steroids. The question is, do players like Bonds and Clemens deserve to be given the highest honor even though MLB pretty much endorsed steroid use for more than a decade?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Hawk sounds bored with this game, lol. He's probably thinking about the lost games in LA that if they won, you can live with sacrificing a game like this to give Peavy and Sale extra rest.

When this week is over, it won't be a 162-game marathon anymore. It will be a 90-game sprint.

Hell, Donnie Veal and Leyson Septimo can't be worse than Will Ohman. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t...ue&sid=t494

I wasn't expecting a win tonight, so whatever. As far as the bullpen arms, I know sometimes AAA doesn't mean they'll be good up in the majors, but I'm willing to find out with the likes of Stewart and Ohman on the team. Looks like Axelrod will be up, but Heath, Bruney, Leesman, a couple other guys, are having great seasons in a small Charlotte park.

Charlotte- Bruney http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...colaaa_chraaa_1 Great Falls- Linza http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...grfrok_helrok_1 Everyone else on break.

De Aza - CF Beckham - 2B Dunn - DH Konerko - 1B Rios - RF Pierzynski - C Viciedo - LF Ramirez - SS Hudson - 3B

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 01:06 PM) I'd rather have this series during the week. Those games are harder to sell than weekends. Yeah, theoretically that should be good for the White Sox. I think the Brewers booked the Cubs (or requested) mostly on weekdays for this reason.

The Brewers rotation is now set for Fiers, Greinke, and Wolf. Sox need to go 4-2 minimum this week. Or how about just run the table at home for once?

I don't know how they're going to do it, but the Sox need 4 wins per week until the break. 12-7 or f*** this team.

The AL dominated interleague this weekend 28-14. Only three teams with losing series--Sox, Twins, and Indians. AL leads overall 96-72.
