August 8, 201312 yr 1st time sweeping the Yanks 2 series in a row in 100 years. De Aza ! Beckham ! PK ! Dunn !
August 8, 201312 yr Good to see the Sox sweep a series and win at home. Some clutch hits tonight and good pitching again.
August 8, 201312 yr I totally thought we weren't going to win another game for the rest of the year before this series. Thanks A-Rod!

August 8, 201312 yr He has done a great job managing this year to even have the Yankees as close they were. No kidding. How is that team even over .500? They're terrible.
August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 08:24 AM) Every win is bad. Tied with the Marlins for the 2nd/3rd pick, they're 5 games "up" on Milwaukee for the 4th pick, and 6.5 games "up" on the Cubs and Twins for the 5th/6th pick. They can win a couple here and there, especially when it's a sweep of the f***ing Yankees

If the Sox fall to the 4th pick, I'm not going to cry. If they draft 5 or lower, they won too much. Edited August 8, 201312 yr by flavum
August 8, 201312 yr I get that there's value in having the 2nd pick compared to the 5th pick, but there's also value in players like Quintana, Santiago, Viciedo, Beckham, Jones, Reed, etc., playing well and gaining confidence through winning games. Even though there is no short-term benefit in winning games, please don't act like there isn't still some value. If nothing else, having the young guys play well and produce some exciting baseball helps next year's ticket sales a bit.

Show Chicago that the team is worth paying for and watching.
August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 10:23 AM) I can't imagine the shame that would arise from being swept by the white sox. Probably like not being able to beat the Cubs in 2 series
August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 02:52 PM) Probably like not being able to beat the Cubs in 2 series Ha, man, I have never been so happy that that series has become meaningless. In 2001-2004 that would have been devastating.
August 8, 201312 yr How f***ing ironic would it be if the Sox drafted third and the cubs fourth because of the cubs sweep.
August 8, 201312 yr Dunn knew how to handle Mo. He knew we needed just one run to tie and not to try and do too much. It was a fantastic series for the Sox
August 8, 201312 yr Whoa i turned this off entering the bottom 12. This makes me a heat fan i gues Edited August 8, 201312 yr by Jose Paniagua
August 8, 201312 yr I turned it off because my girlfriend talked me into going and getting a cupcake with her. I have no regrets.
