QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) Someone should ask KLaw what he thinks about Sale starting now.... He won't fess up that he was wrong. He'll just state something along the lines of how he will be hurt sooner or later.

QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 10:11 PM) A few Law gems... Flashback to right after the 2010 draft.... Keith, what are your thoughts on Chris Sale? Klaw (1:25 PM) I ranked him 47th. The White Sox took him 13th. You do the math. In his 'scouting report', Law rated Sale's slider as a '40' on his MLB Draft Grading Scale, with a projected future rating of '45'. A 40 on that scale translates to "Well below-average ability". A 45 is still below average and translates to "11th/12th men on a pitching staff". From a later discussion... Do you like Chris Sale's move to the rotation and where do you see him as a future starter? Klaw (1:35 PM) No, I don't. So this means Courtney Hawkins will most likely suck.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 11:02 AM) too bad alex gordon is bad again. He's nowhere near bad. I'd take him over Viciedo in a heartbeat.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 04:24 PM) Leyland made it official...Verlander moved up to Tuesday, then next Sunday night against the Sox vs Chris Sale. Breaking Bad will have to wait an hour. That's must watch baseball. ESPN made a great move by moving that game to the Sunday Night slot.

Big K. Come on Loup, get Fielder.

Two lefties vs. Loup. I'm semi-confident he can pitch out of it.

Infante singles. Blue Jays in trouble.

Jackson with an infield single.

Loup has been deadly against lefties. Watch Jackson start a rally here. He really has been their MVP.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) Running catch? Diving catch to take away a double from Gose.

Jackson definitely saved them this game there.

Threat over.

Gose and Hechavarria are so bad. These guys used to be top prospects, too. Shows you how many prospects are complete busts. I can't envision a guy like Gose ever hitting well.

Man on second, one out for Toronto.

Onto the 10th.

Aaron Loup comes in.

Brad Lincoln is in. Ugh. Where is Steve Delabar?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) Vizquel batting 6th? Wow. This is why I have zero confidence in them winning this game. Their lineup is god awful.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:27 PM) Tigers are just amazingly tough to beat at home with those crowds. It's the advantage they're always going to have over us with dynamic pricing. How expensive are Tigers tickets? More importantly, how much is their parking?

Oliver gets out of it. That was just sad. They were pitching around Fielder and they ended up throwing a wild pitch. SMH.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) The game isnt over. Calm down. I have zero confidence in this Blue Jays offense.

So yeah, our lead is going to be 1.5 games heading into tomorrow. Son of a b****.

Darren Oliver...WTF?

Avila walks. Take him out.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:00 PM) 6 outs to go. Good work Happ. He should face at least two more batters. Dirks and Avila both left handed. He's only at 93 pitches, so plenty left in the tank.
