QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) at this point you better get something ridiculous if you give up Gavin...can't see it right now. You're putting an awful lot of pressure/depending on Humber. And you DO NOT send Quintana to the bullpen...PERIOD. I agree. You have two guys who have not pitched a full ML season. The wheels could come off Sale and Q in August. Danks should be put on hold. If anything I bet Kenny is shopping Thornton.

QUOTE (gosox41 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) Let's hope Liriano is motivated by playing for a contending team. Does anyone know why he's been so bad this year? Has it been lack of motivation? Injury? Is he tipping his pitches? Just one of those years? How has his velocity been? Bob He's also coming to a team with much better defense. Defensive mental errors are not recorded stats nor is awesome plays. He may be much better with a new group behind him.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) I find it amazing that our farm system is supposedly one of the worst yet KW keeps finding ways of making sweet deals.... It might be the worst now since most of them are up here. This time he depleted the farm by bringing them up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) Nice infield positioning! This is something that seem to be missing in the past.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:44 PM) When will Ventura learn! Maybe he's out there as trade bait.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) Hawk giving love to Flowers work behind the plate with AJ out. Gotta do something. Even Jaun Pierre can hit the ball harder in the infield.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:40 PM) This would be a big win if we hold on. Sox would quickly pick up two games recently lost head to head vs. the Tigers. Would be a very nice thing. Thanks to Toronto for continuing to be tough vs. the Central. Then it's time to bring the Twins back down to earth on Mon.

No Thornton in the 9th please.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:26 PM) Yeah if you're back up catcher is being the biggest dissapointment. You're doing pretty good offensively. I think the first half was the 3rd base situation, so it's awesome to have Youk. Gotta keep Youk. Morel could use another year in the minors.

the replay looks like the ball hit the ground

Well Humer seems to pitch better when he's in trouble.

I enjoy watching Rios bat this season. That stance is such an improvement and he hits the ball hard.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:38 PM) That is so true. College sports are out of control in so many places. Sports in general are out of control in this nation. Adults get in fights at kiddie sport events. I don't get the whole college worship mentality. It's monopoly that oil execs envy. Ever heard of a college that said they were going to drop tuition 10% for the nest year? Never.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 11:09 AM) Funny, I wrote an article about that this AM. http://flapship.com/teamoutlaw-really-penn-state/ This was great.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 03:40 PM) Some great stuff. I'm in that group. BEACH VOLLEYBALL - some of those women look much better at a distance. Close up they tend to get more masculine looking. When I think Olympics....I say who cares? It also irritates me to hear some of the NBA players think they are as good as the original Dream Team. Chance in hell on that one. Are they going to add fly fishing? Remember when Mayor Daley was going for an Olympic Bid. He actually thought having another pro sports franchise would make the city more attractive. Funny comment about British women. The mayo on pasta was gross. That's why I don't eat macaroni salad.

If I'm a GM from the AL, I might be a little reluctant to try to improve the offense in the lineup by acquiring a bat from the NL to contend this season. It seems to take a while for the NL hitter to make the transition. I guess that would also depend how many games out of first as well.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:53 AM) Yikes. Nice body. But she looks like she's 45. I'll take it.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 02:07 PM) Tigers trailing 5-1 as Rasmus just hit ay 2 run homer in the bottom of the 7th. Anibal Sanchez is chased after that in his Tigers debut. He went 6+ giving up 5 earned runs on 8 hits 3 walks 3 punchouts & gave up 3 homers.(Encarnacion, Escobar, Rasmus) Tigers trailing 5-1 heading to bottom of the 8th. 3 more outs to score at least 4 runs. CMON JAYS! To the 9th we go. Still 5-1. JA Happ gets the final 6 outs for the Jays & the Tigers lose. Sox up a full 2 games as of now, with a nice opportunity to add to it tonight. It makes me wonder if the Tigers are in more need of a starter than the Sox.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) Phil Humber against the Rangers lineup. Cant wait to see that one. Neither can the Rangers. They'll skip batting practice tomorrow because they'll get at least 8 innings of it.

Doesn't anyone pitch inside anymore? Tired of this nibble, nibble, crap.

The Sox really like this Texas pitching.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 01:19 PM) The cubs have tried to do the same thing the Yankees did for years, so did the Red Sox. Combined, those teams have 2 championships in the past 1 million years. It hasn't work out for the Yankees too much either considering what they've spent.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 01:02 PM) Before the modern era, when payroll disparities weren't as significant, they still won 22. So true. They did pay $500K for Ruth though. I don't know how far the modern era would date back to but some of their great players in the 70s-80s were from trades.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 06:43 PM) Gordon is a valuable guy to have on a team as the primary backup infielder. He can play plus defense at three positions and can step in as an experienced starter in case of injury. Plus he's still cheap. That's the way to look at it. I guess we would know how valuable or invaluable he is if he went on the DL.
