QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 11:24 AM) Danks for Eric Jagielo and Aaron Judge. Just sweep their entire 2013 1st RD class. But seriously, I would love to have Aaron Judge. A gigantic OF who has been drawing a ton of walks so far. Jagielo would be cool but unrealistic

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 11:23 AM) I wonder if he has a running joke going with somebody to work in a "big word" during his media time. Cacophony, and now ubiquitous? Somethings up. He does. He uses a word like that in every post-game interview.

So, uh... any AJ news?

Gillaspie has 300 plate appearances but still does not qualify for batting average leaders. When will he qualify?

well I guess nobody seems to be celebrating Nieto as our starting catcher for the next few days

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 11:09 PM) Great win. Sox need to get even with the punk Royals. That was our first win over KC in the Cell this year. Must back it up with more wins. The Royals seem to throw at our hitters a lot. Guthrie really did a disservice to his hitters cause Sale can throw that baseball pretty damn hard. Valencia had to be scared to death when that pitch came sailing in on him. Sale deserves credit for getting even and plunking a hitter immediately. Surprised there wasn't a brawl. Maybe one in Game Two if KC hits Eaton leading off the game. This isn't the first time in 2014 in which Sale retaliated by hitting a Royals hitter. First time was early in the season in KC. I think there will be more of the same tomorrow, but a brawl is unlikely. Especially because they don't have Mike Aviles anymore.

Flowers' wife is giving birth to their second child, so he will probably miss a few games

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 10:41 PM) Anyone remember when Tyler 1st started wearing those magical glasses?? Dude has doubled his double total in his last 7 games with 5, just 10 overall. I know it was shortly before the break, but I don't know the exact game/series. He certainly has been hitting better since.

Hard to tell in the other one but this may be his best this year (from last week):

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 10:14 PM) meh. he's done better

Adam Eaton ‏@AdamSpankyEaton 1m So blessed to have a T-shirt night...Thanks for everyone that came and got one! Make sure you come next Monday and get your @79JoseAbreu T!

Sale- 9-1, 2.03 ERA

YES!

he gone

Konerko hasn't really gotten enough PH chances this year. He should pinch hit for Beckham and then sub in Leury for the 9th.

lol Downs

Let me say this before it potentially happens- I would not be opposed to Sale starting the 8th.

Gillaspie/De Aza back to back (lefty/lefty)? You won't see Robin do that too often.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 10:32 PM) That's how I feel. Cmon folks, let's hear it for the 2 wins vs. the Stros. Better than losing to 'em. Once again many individual players normally despised come through. Flowers?? Kudos tonight again for his 3 hits and the big one. DeAza? Nice job again. The bullpen? WTF. It came through again. Noesi does OK and Eaton and Lexi excel again. Of course Eaton and Lexi aren't despised, just the others. If we could get A. Garcia back could we contend for wild card? No, I won't go there. But like Big Hurt said ... winning is better than losing. Happy Saturday!! Who are you and what have you done with Greg

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 07:15 PM) abreu .265 / 39 HR / 105 RBI Uh... he's hitting .292 and is trending upwards... and you're saying he only goes 10/32 from 7/18 to 9/30 (or whenever the last game is)?

Sox final record: 73-89 Abreu final line: 302, 51/128, ROY Sale final line: 15-5, 2.46 ERA Who gets traded: Dunn, Beckham Who do the Sox bring in: pass

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) That's awesome. I'm not sure Gillaspie likes anyone. Always looks like he's plotting to murder someone. Has anyone ever seen him smile?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) Far better than Moises Alou's dugout antics.
