QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) Wonder if the Sox are interested in Betancourt in Colorado? Our bullpen is set, unless we trade one of them.

Hawk loves to exaggerate. IT'S ALL GOOD!

Let's win this one. Tigers up 3-1 right now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 11:12 AM) I didn't notice last night, but it looks like Myers got 39 from Axelrod. Will Joe McEwing give Liriano 47? Pressing issues. I doubt coaches give up numbers to players. Liriano will probably go with 57.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 10:23 AM) SUNDAY, 12:51am: The Brewers will receive right-handed reliever Fautino De Los Santos in the trade according to Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle. The 26-year-old pitched to a 7.25 ERA in 36 Triple-A innings this year and owns a 4.21 ERA with 11.4 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9 in 36 1/3 big league innings with Oakland over the last two seasons. MLBTRADERUMORS Brewers sent C George Kottaras to Oakland on Saturday. In return, Milwaukee gets one of our old friends. I actually thought De Los Santos had the chance to be pretty special. Kottaras has an OBP 200 points higher than his batting average. He walks in 1/4 of his PAs. I wonder how much of that had to do with the fact that he hit in front of the pitcher.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:54 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN Kenny Williams has worked hard to make a deal. Via email: move for Liriano "imperative." Also said phone is out minutes, he's turning it off His phone is out of minutes? What? A GM doesn't have unlimited voice?

QUOTE (northside sawx @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) Honestly. KW giving a big "F-ck you" to Keith Law He's given everyone a big "f*** You" this year.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) And how deep do we need to go in the playoffs to resign Peavy, Youk, Myers, and Liriano? And what does this mean for Danks if we resign Liriano? Ain't gonna have 4 lefties. There's no way in hell we're re-signing Liriano if it's not super cheap. He's so high maintenance. I can stand him for 10 starts, but not for a whole year.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:19 PM) Lefties are not too scared of Thornton nowadays, so that's potentially an issue. We still have Santiago.

I have to imagine that the Sox will go with the 6 man staff and a 6 man bullpen. Septimo will most likely get sent down.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:06 PM) So does humber go to pen? Back to a 6 man rotation with rest for sale/q? That's my guess I think that's the most likely thing. Wow, I'm feeling very good about this team right now. Liriano had a good streak of 10 starts before we beat him up this week.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:07 PM) Great move. We lose nothing. Escobar might have a 10-plus-year career, but it's gonna be as a light-hitting starter, but most likely utility player. Hernandez is garbage. Let's hope Liriano finds his filthiness once again. I have a feeling Eduardo is going to hurt us in the future. Liriano can possibly pitch against his old team this weekend.

The only team that beat the s*** out of him recently was us. So I guess this is good, really good!

2.5 up on Detroit, 5.5 up on Cleveland. I think the Indians may consider selling at the deadline now.

Sox win! Another series win! 5 in a row! I thought we had no chance in hell to win this one. Hell of an effort!

Matt Thornton is just bad right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 09:44 PM) He can't throw the high fastball past hitters anymore like he used to. I don't think people realize just how old Thornton is. He was dominant when he was in his mid-30s. Who thought two years later and he'd start sucking like this?

Not this crap again.

I never thought Matt Thornton would age this quickly. His peripherals are way down from last year.

Oh balls. It's Thornton.

Nice inning for Myers. I'd like to not use Reed tonight. Myers had a super low pitch count. Let him go out there for another inning.

Nice range D2!

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) I enjoy watching Rios bat this season. That stance is such an improvement and he hits the ball hard. His feet are much closer to each other now. Small adjustment, big results.

Nice outing for Humber so far. Have that bullpen up Robin, just in case.
