WilliamTell Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) hawkeroo told us last night that jake is getting stronger........ At this pace his strength will be able to get all 3 of those doubles to turn into homers next start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I bet Viciedo comes in and hits a leadoff homerun next inning..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 06:34 PM) I am sick of watching, listening to and reading about Jake Peavy. If he is the reason we don't resign Mark I will be very unhappy. It's setting up to be an absolute PR nightmare for the Sox this offseason when they either can't bring back Buehrle or have to unload two fan favorites in Danks and Quentin while maybe the two most despised Sox players of our generation in Dunn and Rios will be making 33% of the payroll. As for Peavy...don't even get me started on him. The entire AL Central should send a fruit basket to the doctor that salvaged his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Did no one else notice this? or did osmeone post it while I wasn't here this morning? Alex Rios batted cleanup Tuesday despite his .212 batting average and 32 RBIs because of his experience, Guillen said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If Rios was allowed to use one of those aluminum bats that college baseball used a few years ago, do you think he'd be able to hit the ball out the opposite way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Kinney warming......there is no reason to not make peavy throw 100 pitches today. If you are going to push him in a close game no reason not to push him today. 105 pitches regardless of the score. I doubt this offense is coming back again.

sunofgold Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I remember a game in the Metrodome where Buehrle gave up 7 runs in the first inning. Then he didn't give up anymore runs and we won the game and MB got the win. Hoping for deja vu today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrad70 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) That is 100% revisionist history. Peavy only said he would go to a very few teams. That is why other teams didn't go after him. Revisionist my ass the guy was hurt and other teams knew it. Freddy Garcia is pitching for the Yankees - what does that tell you about how desparate teams are for pitching. Peavy would not have been with the Sox if there had been a true market for him. All Peavy has IS his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was like the first time since 1900 or 1906 or something where a starter did that and got the win. But that was the deadly 2006 offense that we had. And we already had scored 3 in the top of the first off a Jermaine Dye homer maybe? Edited August 31, 2011 by WilliamTell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see anyway you allow all of them back on the roster next year. Fans already hate them enough this year, and that's with a few remaining likable vets on this team. I just can't wait for Peavy to be our Opening Day starter next year because of his experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we can skip him with Stewart in the rotation as well and Humber being a question mark. The biggest complaint I have with how Sox have handled Peavy this year is they treated him like Mark Buerhle instead of trying to steal a few games they could skip him in, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Back to the good 'ol White Sox with runners on base. Oh well, guess we were due for a clunker. Tigers still trailing 4-2 going to the bottom of the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably also been the biggest beneficiary for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
