How many balls have we just popped straight up today? WTF?

Solid start by Quintana. He doesn't deserve an L.

Chavez with an awesome AB to drive in another run on a little ground ball. 10-7 Yanks.

How the hell do you walk Francouer?

Alright Adam, we need you here badly.

God our offense sucks.

8-7 Yankees now. We really need to start hitting against Guthrie.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 08:27 PM) Never thought Sox would get dominated by Guthrie. It would do wonders for our chances if Hudson can find a way to get on base to start the 6th. Get well soon Rios! It has happened before.

I swore that Guthrie's owned us on multiple occasions, but he has a 4.52 ERA against us and is only 3-5.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) That's a dumb reason. You put your best hitter in the 3 hole. I could care what hand he was born with. The best hitter should hit in the 4th hole. The 4th and 5th spots get more opportunities to drive in runs than any other position in the lineup. This is proven through Markov chain analysis. I'm alright with the way the lineup is constructed right now. I'd think a swap of A.J. and Dunn would be good though.

I was going to come into this thread and say how much of a bad aura it is. Now I don't have to.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:44 PM) Yes. It's pretty obvious to everyone. The reason he hasn't put Rios at 3 is because Dunn breaks up the string of right handers at the top of the lineup. If he puts Rios at 3, he'll end up hitting Dunn at 4, which is even worse because he's not going to hit Dunn 5th and A.J. 6th.

Time for our Chris Perez moment. I hate losing to the Royals.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:41 PM) Chris Getz is garbage. I'm pissed we ever gave Teahen an extension, not the trade we made for him. He's hitting better than Gordon. He may not be anything more than a bench player, but he's a solid bench player.

Nice job by Humber.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) I'll take T. Abreu from KC as a bench player I'll take Chris Getz. I can't believe we traded him for Mark f***ing Teahen. Ugh.

Wow, Humber's in the game?

Perez's ERA has jumped a run and a half in the past two outings. I like seeing him fail.

lol Chris Perez blew another save.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) Has Dunn dropped under .200 BA yet? He's at .206.

Who's the Royals' closer?

Why can't Nate Jones throw like this more often?

f***. Granderson pops up to end it. Ichiro should have scored on that double.

Wow, Ichiro couldn't score on a double down the left field line. I thought he was going to score for sure. Yanks have second and third, two out. Granderson up.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:20 PM) The Tigers will lose tomorrow. No way they sweep the Yanks. It's a 4 game series.
