  1. Detroit BP doing its best to keep the race in reach for NY. Now 8-5 and the Yanks left the bases loaded Finally in the top 9
  2. Cuevas gives up 2 "HR's" in virtually same place (either side of foul pole) to the same hitter. Well we wanted consistency.
  3. White Sox are hitting with blind luck today. Sometimes you just can't stop the mistakes
  4. Fooling around with sub .500 teams and expecting the 6 or 7 run inning is not a brilliant strategy for playoff baseball. I can see why the Sox players may not have much urgency at this point of a great season but it is sometimes hard to flip the switch when you have been coasting for a month.
  5. 2 run HR time for JDM. He did miss a couple hittable pitches in the first inning
  6. Poyner stopped the bleeding, and even at 4-0 the guys can easily beat James Big Game Shields.
  7. Tigers up 8-3 , top 7. Sonny Gray in relief
  8. Every f'ing ball off Johnson is up in the air. Waste of time out there today
  9. Have the thought that Cora will let his 7 run rule prevail today to stay out of the pen, although he has Cuevas and Poyner before having to go to velazquez.Poyner up in the pen.
  10. Phone the bench and let the Red Sox hitters know so they can partake in long flies.
  11. Damn Swihart calling for all those pitches running BJ's count up early
  12. Been stealing candy from a kid with Johnson most of the year. Now running out of luck. First innings where Red Sox rarely score and our pitchers give up runs are too common
  13. White Sox lineup featuring their two best BA's at .281, followed by .260. No one else above .250.
  14. That's what Chris "Scissors" Sale said.
  15. You mean it's a setup for another Tiger BP fiasco, ending up 9-7 in favor NYY ?
  16. It's 11:30, how long can you honor Harrelson ? His highlight reel can't be over 45 seconds, and if they show his announcing gems then just another 30 seconds.
  17. Neatly coincides with a certain DL stint ??
  18. If they had just traded him, then this string would not have been necessary. A 3 year dissection of the trade would have supplanted it. Goodbye to any idea of trading JBJr for 2018, he is earning his keep in a big way.
  19. Far better to have JBJr in front of Betts than a thick legged catcher. Another reason Blake Swihart hitting 8th, when catching, can be a real bonus for the top of lineup guys.
  20. Meritocracy at its best. Play well or sit down. The real test and tough decision for DD/Cora is whether he is kept on the first 25 man ALDS roster, assuming his hitting/fielding find their rhythm in September.
  21. Brian, get 5 innings in the books so you can get credit for the win. Don't let Cora short you. if he comes out for you after 14 outs, throw the ball into the stands !
  22. Given the overall pitching and the hitting, I do not think you can overrate tonight's wins as anything but significant. Could be the start of a run towards securing the ALE early. But 4 up with 3 to go is just fine too.
  23. I would take Jon Lester's competitive attitude at anytime but his performance this year may be indicative of what happens in late stages of career. Good luck to Jon, as long as we don't meet the Cubs in the WS. That would be a classic.
  24. Mookie knows where you live.
  25. Can't even comment here, since I have expressed my uninformed eyeball opinion on Barnes's ability to to get guys out consistently. He does have ability but can't figure out his inconsistency or inefficiency factor.
