TWO BAD LOSSES

Robin has done an excellent job this season but the last two games have been marked by some questionable moves, i.e., over-managing.

Why pull Floyd after 4 2/3 innings? No chance he could work his way out of a jam?

Tying run at the plate and instead pinching hitting with someone with home run power- Flowers or Vicedo- Robin has the O-Dog bat. Why?

Sale v. Verlander tonight.

It must be very difficult to be a Cleveland Sports Fan.

White Sox Hold Three Game Lead

Going to bed with 3 game lead > going to bed with 2 game lead.Go #WhiteSox

Yes, 3 is better than 2!
Three Stars of the game:
1. Rios- Three run homer gives White Sox the lead
2. AJ & Gordon Beckham- add home runs of their own
3. Quintana- 7 plus innings giving up 1 run.

Honorable Mention- the Tigers' Defense.

Never Forget

The "Mediocre 12" Has Returned!!

http://www.cleveland.com/osu/index.ssf/2012/09/in_the_big_ten_leaders_are_any.html

It was a hell of a weekend for the misnamed Big Ten. Wisconsin has already fired its offensive line coach (Badgers should be 0-2).
UCLA defeats Nebraska!

Now This Is a BIG Series

With a 2 game lead and a 4 game series with the Tigers the Sox need at least a split.
White Sox biggest problem lately has been lack of offense- or maybe it's just the Royals.
Q on the mound today. Big game!!

"So At Least The Tigers Lost."

In a pennant race, I would like to count on more than just the Tigers losing.
Game #29 for me- need to get back to a personal winnign streak. Chris Sale on the mound.

No word on Youk or Dunn yet.

Baseball Is a Funny Game

When the Twins score double-digit runs they're 13-0. In all other games they're 43-80 while averaging 3.6 runs per game.

1. Sox were Leading 3-0. End Up losing 18-9.
2. As RKG informed me, the Twins have in the span of a few weeks scored 18 runs on the Tigers and 18 runs on the White Sox. The Twins are in last place. The Tigers and White Sox are battling for 1st place!!
3. White Sox set a franchise record for doubles in a game- AND lose 18-9!

4. I am now left to wonder if the DeWayne Wise pitching a scoreless 9th inning will be a highlight of the season.
