QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) Trout and Pujols have two of the most HGH faces ever. I agree. I doubt Pujols is on/was ever on anything, and I'm sure Trout isn't, though.

All of our players do the stir the drink thing. I guess Melky adds his own little thing at the end.

Our schedule is full of off-days. Many more than 14-15. That will certainly help Rose. I think that with his improvements and in the new system, he'll average 22/7/3 on 44% shooting, 35% from deep.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) Allen, Houston, Acho, and Bass. I dint think you could consider any of them a starter at this point, so they fit the question. Willie Young as well. He's listed as a 3rd stringer despite being one of our best defensive players last year.

Iwakuma no hitter

New NHL 16 cover is just Toews.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Well, I have some bad news for you I know he's hurt, but they're apparently optimistic that he'll return before the regular season starts.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) SSS had a nice post about how if Trayce can hit LHP and play a mean center, it's likely he'll find a spot on sox for a while. Eaton...

QUOTE (shysocks @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 11:30 AM) I can't explain it, but John Danks starting + me in attendance = Sox victory this year. Every time. This will be the 5th. Also hoping Scioscia has the tact to get Gillaspie into the game so we can give him the standing O he deserves. Yikes, Conor must be annoyed that we put out 3 lefties for this series... but with our rotation, you have to expect that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 10:27 PM) The roller coaster is back. Not that I'm complaining. I like when the Sox are in a positive trend. You just have to be ready for the negative trend after it maxes out at four wins in a row and 7 of 8. As far as Flowers, he is having a lousy year numbers wise; only 29 RBIs and a horrific on base percentage entering tonight but he also had only 259 plate appearances. It's not like he's getting all of the at bats. Soto has a much better on base percentage in his 153 plate appearances. But he's RBI deficient as well with 19. 16 HR and 48 RBI from our catchers isn't bad

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 09:54 PM) Rodon , Thompson. Melky with 2 RBI on his 31st birthday . Sox with just 4 hits , Angels 5 but Angels in the midst of playing terribly on the road. It's not who you play but when you play them . Thanks, Hawk. But yes. We caught the Yankees in their best offensive spurt of the year, and on the other hand, played the Red Sox when they couldn't do anything right (I know they suck this year but they were in a bad stretch when we played them on the road).

Shoutout to Melky, Petricka, and Robertson as well for good games.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 09:49 PM) Here's what will happen. We'll sweep the Angels, creating even more hype for the Sox/Cubs series. We'll sweep the Cubs, securing the Crosstown Cup and a 57-58 record. Then, we lose 8 in a row.

Petricka I love you!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) Don't say GS with Pujols up. To be fair, I said it before Trout was up, so there were just two runners on.

To be fair, Alexei was the best defensive player in baseball in July... but yeah, that sucked.

well great

Trout has zero plate appearances against Petricka. He should have one. Yes, I'm still mad over that game last June where Sale gave up the grand slam to Trout.

If we can win this, we'd be 53-58, just 5 under... you never know

Apologies if this has been said, but we are now wearing a Billy Pierce patch in addition to the Minoso one.

At the heart of the dispute between former Jets LB IK Enemkpali and quarterback Geno Smith is $600 that Enemkpali believed Smith owed him, per league sources. Enemkpali purchased a plane ticket for Smith to attend his July 11 football camp at Pfugerville High School in Pfugerville, Texas. However, days before the camp, a person close to Smith was killed in a motorcycle accident in Miami and Smith did not attend Enemkpali’s camp, per sources. After Smith did not attend, Enemkpali demanded that the Jets’ quarterback refund him the $600 he allegedly used to purchase a plane ticket. Smith told Enemkpali he would reimburse him the money, but he did not. Enkempali confronted Smith today about the money and the confrontation ended in a punch and broken jaw.
