Saladino can sit no longer!!! He has brass balls as they say. He can hit the fricking ball! Play him. DH him. It's ridiculous to let a guy who can hit rot on the bench. Our lineup BLOWS. Free Saladino.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 04:36 AM) DJ lighting into Ausmus for having Romine bunt against a LHP when he's a RHB with a 4 run lead in the 9th... Doesn't think it's the way baseball should be played...or at least used to be played. Obviously, the Tigers blew a huge lead last night but the feeling of this game is quite a bit different with the Sox not scoring for the last three innings instead of creeping closer and closer. I like DJ, but shut up. Four run lead is nothing.

Kinsler is a real ballplayer. A real hitter. A real Rowand. Laugh all you want but we need Rowands.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 03:49 AM) Shuck should be playing RF until Ajax returns (or until we trade for a better option) and Avi should be DHing. Yeah, I know that it's frustrating seeing Shuck and Coats in the lineup so often, but that's what happens when injuries occur and your GM has traded away your only ML-ready young outfielder. DHing Saladino is the last thing that the Sox should be doing. It bugs me that one of our better hitters, Saladino, is sitting most every day. He should be getting MLB at bats. Shuck bothers me. QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 03:51 AM) Just send Avi down, admit your mistakes and pray he can turn it around playing everyday. Amen, brother! Avi's days as a Sox should be Beckham-ed. QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 03:54 AM) You seem to think that Saladino is an offensive upgrade over Shuck, and he's really not. Shuck blows. I hate to say it but he is another Teahen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 03:22 AM) Why would you DH your second best defensive player Well frankly I was gonna ask for him to replace Lawrie at 2B but I figured I'd get fried on here. There's nowhere else for Saladino since we got Anderson now.

Detroit did what good teams do tonight. They responded to yesterday's choke job with a lotta runs and some fight. You know how the Sox responded to the Texas disaster ...

Now that we have Anderson, would any of you be for Saladino everyday DH? We need his bat in this gawdawful lineup.

I hope Anderson learns how to draw some walks. He's a rather free swinger.

Can Saladino play right field? I'd love to get him some more at bats. Right field?

I love Saladino. 10-5.

I don't know why we cut Danks if we're trotting stiffs like this to the mound. What a pathetic start tonight.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:16 PM) i got some lap dances, called me up on stage, but there was no beating up, whipping, or humiliation You got very lucky. My buddy and I were in Vegas for his bachelor party and we went to a strip club with 25 guys and everybody knew it was his bachelor party. He told everybody he would run out of the club and leave everybody for the night if they called him on stage. We've been to too many bachelor parties where the bachelor goes up to the stage. They've ruined guy's clothes, stripped him to his underwear and ripped up clothes. Painted people all over with lipstick. Like I said one guy got beat pretty badly with his belt. My buddy's bachelor party was amazing since everybody agreed to not call him to the stage. We all spent a fortune. Several married guys were gone for the night in the back room with the strippers, spending thousands. I always thought how stupid that is. To pay a strippper a couple thousand bucks is insane but I've seen it done. At my buddy's party I told him if he had to sprint out the door I'd meet him and we'd take a cab to another strip club or go back to gambling if we had to. I told him not to worry I wouldn't let him get tied up and whipped by strippers.

Sox are so dysfuctional. They are gonna let Shields go out turn after turn and pitch way worse than Erik J would have. Dumb. Erik never had a fair chance here. Shields blows. He's worse than Danks.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) NPR had a story yesterday on the shooter's father. He seems a bit nutty and is obsessed with the Afghan/Pakistan border (long-running border dispute, apparently). His political concerns seem to be entirely centered around that border dispute and not religiously motivated, and he believes himself to be the head of some sort of provisional Afghan government. The dad wasn't sensitive enough to what has happened. 50 people massacred! I read today how he had so much ammo that he would shoot people and return to put more bullets in them to make sure they were dead. Horrifying stuff and this dad is talking politics. f*** him. Show some compassion. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/14/us/orlando-s...teen/index.html Greg, how would your feelings have changed if Walt Disney World had been attacked instead of Pulse? I'd feel terrible as well. I mean it's going to happen in a sports arena and it's going to be so ugly and the end of sports as we know it. All it would take it gunmen storming each exit and firing away. Thousands dead. We are at war, folks, but we have to be too PC. It's sad when it's a major step just calling it "radical" Islam finally. We are at war. And if the wife knew, she better serve the rest of her days in prison.

Look at the bright side. Strippers would have called u on stage n basically beat u up or whipped u with your belt or tore clothes U missed nothing. Any horror stories out there?

Your premise is the Royals are doing something special. They have sucked, only rescued by their wins over the Sox putting them back on the right track twice now! They'll be back in the gutter soon, caulfield.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 02:59 AM) It still bothers me that I live in a country where a guy like Trump is a top 2 choice for president. It bothers me that Trump is one of the top two and the other is a person who in my opinion should be in jail for putting our country's security at risk. Both are horrific candidates, equally bad IMO.

Bless Anderson Cooper. He knows the humanity of this. It's real. They are more than names. They are people! Killed by a maniac with guns!! Everybody should read this CNN report. The horror of this poor guy who texted his mom n died. The report ... For three harrowing hours, as Omar Mateen carried out his rampage inside the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, clubgoers hid in bathrooms, in air-conditioning vents, under tables. Helpless, trapped, shocked and scared, they texted their loved ones, pleading for help. One person whose story has really touched peoples' hearts is that of Eddie Jamoldroy Justice. Justice, a 30-year-old accountant, sought shelter in the bathroom from where he texted his mom: Mommy I love you In club they shooting Trapp in bathroom Call police Im gonna die His mother, Mina Justice, tried to reassure him that she'd called 911 and help was coming: Calling them now. U still there? Answer your phone. Call me. Call me. Justice replied: Call them mommy Now Im still in the bathroom Hes coming Im going to die He then went silent. He was among the 49 who didn't make it. How can any human being stalk people and kill them all? This guy was all over the place. Going into the bathrooms?? f***ing devil.

They'll never trade Wiggins. Too risky that he's the next big thing. Trade will never get done cause Bulls will demand Wiggins be included IMO.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) Or maybe Rollins really likes playing professional baseball and doesn't freak out like you do when his team goes from first place to .500 ball 1/3 of the way into the season. Get a grip. The Sox have lost something like 9 series in a row. The team has lost some of the most bizarre ways in club history. The team has not hit, has not pitched in the five week stretch. It is not a stretch to conjecture Rollins has to be glad to be out of Chicago.

Finally! Nice bunt by Anderson. Nice job by Eaton to win it. Good to finally beat a Central team in Game One of a series. Oops, we also did that against KC. Time to start manning up and winning more. First time since 2002 Sox came back from 7 down to win. It took a while but indeed it counts as a comeback from a 7-run deficit. For a while it looked like Detroit would always be that one run ahead. Glad Anderson knows how to bunt. Moving that runner over helped. Some good performances in relief as well, even by the guy I have hated on, Albers.

Finally. A walk off victory! Well, they came back from seven down for the first time since 2002. That's 14 years. If anything can pick them off the carpet it would be this even though Shields stunk. Good job by Eaton making contact and Sox win a home game!

Why can't we win home games? it's not that difficult normally for a team.

Holy cow. They couldn't put them away at home. LeBron always has a chance. If Cleveland takes care of business at home, we have a game seven. This could be just like the OKC series in reverse. Golden State blowing a 3-1 lead.

Wow. Kinsler chokes. David excels. Beat them now or don't cry later.
