Keep letting Butler beat us, Robin! It is amazing to me how stubborn they are with throwing him fastballs. The decision making the last month or so is terrible.

For some good news now.......

 

Trayce Thompson hits his 1st HR in AA, Walker hit 2 HRs in W-S.

STOP PITCHING TO BUTLER!

STOP PITCHING TO BUTLER!

 

The Sox deserve to be losing these games to KC with their stupid decisions and horrible scouting reports.

Have the Royals even swept a team this year? Because I think we're going to get swept.

I have only quit on 1 game this year, but this is about to be my second. Time to get drunk and party with Everclear. See you guys in a week......

Sox on their way to being 3 and 9 in Peavy's last 12 starts.

Hawk needs to quit with the Cy Chen crap.

NEVER FORGET

OMG POINTS!

The concussion has restored Konerko.

Nice PK

Finally!

The concussion has restored Konerko.

 

Cranial injuries seem to hone his focus, as it were.

I figured we'd get at least a solo HR today.

10 days off probably helped a lot of aches too.

Rios now 2 for his last 25. Wouldn't be a bad thing to rest him and play Wise and ADA if ADA is ok.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

cant we just give peavy number 36 and put vazquez on his back?

I've always compared the two, and let's not forget Peavy's stellar reputation for pitching in big games

 

Why was he even starting this inning, as he was at 100 pitches and has nothing tonight? At some point, Ventura has got to use Sale/Peavy with a little more caution, as you can see their stuff is nowhere near what it was during the first half of the year.

Orioles up 3-0!

Tonight's a "drink beer and forget baseball exists" kind of night.

The Sox deserve to be losing these games to KC with their stupid decisions and horrible scouting reports.

 

Farmer called it yesterday.

 

0-2 count to Perez, you HAVE to throw your best (at this point in the season) Chris Sale fastball and bust it in on his hands. Don't let him get his hands extended. Breaking stuff off the plate he has to reach for OR inside fastballs. They of course elected to use neither option!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Instead, they tried to trick him and ended up speeding up his bat...not that he wasn't killing nearly ever single pitch thrown to him by Sox hurlers when he's been in the line-up against us this year already.

Orioles up 3-0!

 

Hopefully that lead stands up better than Friday.
