QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) With a five run lead if we can let the PenPals (credit: Rowand44) handle this one, I'm not against it. They just need to throw strikes. They all have good stuff.

QUOTE (northside sawx @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) Wonder if Robin learned his lesson last night and will go to Thornton for the 8th. He's gotta get through the 7th first.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 08:31 PM) As someone who hasn't heard much about Hernandez, can someone tell me the stuff he has? Found this after a quick Google

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 03:21 PM) MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors Royals Designate Jonathan Sanchez For Assignment Wow, that trade worked out great. Melky's hitting .350 and Sanchez gets DFA'd. Dayton Moore at his best, everyone!

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 03:18 PM) It's highly unlikely the Rockets will withdraw their (verbal) offer to Asik, that kinda stuff is really frowned upon I still don't know what the hell Morey is doing with that team.

What a job by Axelrod. Come on offense, score him some runs!

The Sox are giving Aviles a workout.

What got into Axelrod? That breaking ball of his is fooling everyone.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 03:02 PM) Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter Ray Rice signed a five-year, $40 million contract that includes $17 million in year one and $25 million in the first two years. So more guaranteed money, but same on average as Forte. Hmm...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 12:01 PM) I thought I heard that Forte was looking for $20 mil, while the Bears were offering closer to $15 mil You heard right. IMO, if the deal is only $16 million guaranteed, then Emery deserves some huge props. If they ended up offering Forte closer to the $24 million mark, then it just seemed like they conceded. It's doubtful that Forte would get more guaranteed money than McCoy though.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 11:49 AM) That means nothing in the NFL world. Need to find out how much guaranteed. I'm guessing anywhere from $16-24 million guaranteed.

De Aza has pretty good range. He's a solid center fielder, IMO. Not spectacular, but he gets to everything that's routine and ranges great to left and right center. I haven't seen him have a lot of issues with balls over his head. He's made a few blunders though, mostly over-pursuing balls he has no business of getting to.

Phoenix picked up Scola for $4 million. They also amnestied Childress. It looks like they will make some ridiculous offer to Mayo now. So much for the Bulls getting him...

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 04:12 PM) Garza is 4-7 for a losing team, but that's not too bad, but his 4.2+ ERA in the NL is alarming. Garza has reverted back to the mediocre pitcher he was before last season. He's striking guys out and keeping the walks relatively low, but he's giving up a ton of home runs. I wouldn't want him.

QUOTE (whitesox901 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) I think Millwood and Wolf are realistic expectations. Wolf isn't much better than Dylan Axelrod. I wouldn't mind Millwood though. He'd fit in well in our park.

3.5 game lead!

That was too close for comfort.

Reed faces Francouer to lead off the inning again.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) How accurate is the pitch tracks thing? Drives me nuts that stone takes it as gospel all the time. Obviously there has to be some error involved If it uses Pitch f/x it's accurate to within half an inch.

That inning sure sucked.

They totally pitched around Youk.

Parks with 400+ foot walls should be illegal.

De Aza just missed it.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) This organization just needs to rid itself of the bunt. They've been doing it a lot less recently. I had no problem with going with the bunt there, we were playing for one run and having guys at second and third greatly increases our chance of scoring.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) Who do we run out there to close this thing out? Reed has been shaky at best lately Why wouldn't you go with Reed?
