Apparently the last time the Tigers swept a 4 game series from the Sox was in 1980. Yay

Excuse me, just got to tidy up a bit before the game starts. So, how 'bout them White Sox, huh? :sweep:

Detroit Lineup:

 

Jackson, A, CF

Hunter, To, RF

Dirks, LF

Fielder, 1B

Martinez, V, DH

Peralta, Jh, SS

Kelly, D, 3B

Pena, B, C

Santiago, R, 2B

 

Verlander, J P

Way to be creative with that lineup Robin. Keppinger has proven all year that he is a mighty bat.

Peavy velocity normal, 92mph heaters

We've all heard in the past that Peavy is not a big game pitcher. This is no doubt a big game. Not only can he prove he is a stopper but can pitch with the pressure on. This is a big start for the future of the franchise.

Flowers makes Peavy look like a munchkin

I think Peavy loves pitching in front of all these scouts. It's like a tryout

Yeah, I am still bittersweet about trading one of the only players on this team that seems to have a real competitive streak.

Me too. I think Rick feels the same way and is going to need somebody to make it worth his while to move Peavy.

 

 

Anyone else having a hard time getting Soxtalk to load?

I have been. Wasn't sure if it was the website or the crappy Internet Explorer that I'm forced to use at work that was causing it.

Yeah I was having trouble. And I do will miss Peavy if he does indeed get traded

I think ump just told Leyland "I made a terrible mistake"

i was just getting ready to ask the same.

 

it seems to be improving a bit finally.

Yes, and now I'm having problems with ESPN Gamecast. The Sox get a lead on Detroit and it blew up the internet.

Why? What happened?

I was seems to be better now. I saw that ball get by Hunter and I thought don't send Paulie it'll be ugly.

Why? What happened?

Fielder clearly safe on a nice try by Gillaspie.

 

So I hear we are wearing the winning ugly unis today? I guess Peavy made the call...

Peavy looks strong today

If Peavy pitches well get him out after 5 or 6 innings max.

Disagree. Just leave him on a pitch count, no more than 105. If he leaves after 6 at only 80 pitches, scouts wouldn't like that.

If Peavy pitches well get him out after 5 or 6 innings max.

The way this season is going, he'll probably have a 2 hitter with 2 outs in the 6th, someone will hit a weak chopper to first and Peavy will sprain his ankle covering first. Although, if they are intending to compete next year, I'd rather they keep him. It does seem like they are going to trade him so maximize that value.
