QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 07:41 PM) GAME! Great job by Reed, and we got a lot of hard hit outs right at our defender. Just how awesome is Rios now he's playing RF?

I didn't want to read thru 8 pages, but isn't this decision based on options? Wise can't be sent down.

To bad the Sox aren't facing NL teams. Problem solved.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) The ball was on a tee the last two nights and he did nothing with it. He wasn't the only one.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 03:20 PM) They honestly don't bother me as much anymore. I think all my hatred has been bestowed upon the Red Sox, that I kinda let the Yankees slide. My hatred is towards the Sox losing the series to KC. There was opportunity to gain some ground here.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 07:39 PM) 8-7 Yankees now. We really need to start hitting against Guthrie. I'm gonna watch that game instead if this snooze fest.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 05:19 PM) Yankees @ Detroit.. should be a great series. Hopefully NY takes 3 of 4, we take 2 of 3 against KC, and we'll be up 3 games going into the weekend series vs Oakland. Looks like Detroit is handling the Yankees while the Sox struggle with the 4th place team in their division. That's the Sox 2nd half MO.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 11:39 AM) If the Sox come up 1 or 2 games short of the postseason, is it fair to criticize Robin for not adjusting when things need a change? Such as sticking with Morel in the 2-hole way too long, having Santiago close out of spring training, not batting Rios-Dunn-Konerko 3-4-5, taking Sale out of the rotation abruptly in May, and pulling Quintana from a 1-0 game in LA with only 77 pitches? I may forgive him for the last one, but there have been some management mistakes this year that may cause Kenny to come up short making the playoffs again. Leading the league in blown saves doesn't help either.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:32 PM) That game really stunk tonight, at least the seventh inning on. I love Jake Peavy don't get me wrong. But it's difficult for that guy to every be bailed out of games by his bullpen because of his refusal to come out of games. He doesn't give Coop or Robin a chance to rescue him in an inning because he won't come out. I know a lot of times he pitches out of late jams, but let's just say tonight Coop had a feeling it was time to get jake out of there after one hit in the seventh inning instead of the fourth or fifth hit?? It was too late to save Jake. Am I right or wrong on this one? He's no Verlander.

Detroit's taken two from the Yankees and the Sox can't get past the Royals. Makes you panic a bit.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 02:00 PM) I'm taking any comments from the Boston Globe in regards to Youk with a huge grain of salt... I'll believe when I hear Kenny say it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 05:57 PM) I like that he doesn't take your crap. Why should he put up with it? Bravo! It's nice that any athlete would take the time to have a facebook account and respond.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) Do you guys/gals sense that because of our injuries and dead arm of Sale we are destined to play in the one game Wild Card playoff? I think that is the Sox destiny this season. I don't think the Central will have any wildcard coming out of it. Detroit has been inconsistent. If they could pitch Verlander every other day they would win the division. I find it irritating the Sox squandered another opportunity yesterday.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) I missed that Gavin rumor today. Would be nice if what KW was trying to get done would leak. Always is fun to see if KW was trying to pull off a MAJOR move. I'm guessing he was exploring the market value. I'm guessing a top starter close to the end of a contract and a major prospect. I'm glad nothing happened. a 6 man rotation makes sense.

My hope is for Kenny to get Juan Uribe if he is on waivers.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 03:08 PM) I agree with this, but who. The only infielder who comes to mind would be Visquel. Reliever....would the Cubs waive Marmol and could Cooper fix him? He's not God.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) Kaplan says Tigers and Cubs discussing Soriano. So much for upgrading their defense.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:54 PM) You are talking about Peavy? Well he knew that he was injured. His intentions were to help the White Sox. Lol. Well he eventually came and is glad that he came. I think he got his Chicago teams confused when he "refused" the first time. This was a true Kenny under the radar trade. There was so much talk of him being a Cub. Surprise!

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:21 PM) I'd like the Sox to beat him in Game 7 of the ALCS. That would be nice. They way the Sox hit Texas pitching, there won't be a game 7.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:21 PM) Couldn't we have matched this offer? Hope Hempster does bad with the Ringers. two things could happen 1. he'll get shelled having to pitch in a hitter's league 2. he'll be lights out since the AL hasn't seen him

There's a rumor of Span going to the Reds. That would have been great if it were done last weekend.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 07:10 AM) Are you suggesting that Beckham was juiced in 08? I wouldn't rule that out 100%. Soto seemed to have great potential.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) I know straight people who work at a gay bar. I know gay people who were fired for being gay. My brother is a bartender and I told him he should try to get a job at a gay bar because most gays have money and tip well. We saw an ad for a bartender for a gay bar. One of the requirements-must be gay.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) They butt right up against the lines of discrimination and have been sued about a dozen times for it. Interesting. It looks like a place you have to be "all in" to work there. I see how they dodge that discrimination bullet.

Soto=the Gordan Beckham of catchers.
