QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 11, 2016 -> 06:30 AM) Just some more thoughts on the abortion tonight. Still so pissed off I'm shaking. Now we'll see if the bubble bursts. Ventura lost this game, flat out lost it with his bullpen usage. Here's the way I look at it. I know Robertson pitched Sunday and Monday. I know Jones has pitched a lot but WITH AN OFF DAY THURSDAY and having to face Cole Hamels in an afternoon game after an extra inning game on Monday and after a long game Tuesday because of the delay you do EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO DO TO WIN THE GAME and take the series. Period. You can not lose this game and the Sox did it in spectacular fashion. Letting Carroll go back out there, a guy who has no business being in the major leagues also didn't help matters. Just a devastating loss. I'm speechless right now. They REALLY need Latos to pitch well Wednesday, have got to have it...and it may not matter even if he does, Hamels has won 11 consecutive decisions, one off the Rangers record. Mark That is a great post. Robin and the Sox wear clown suits tonight. It was a horrible horrible loss. Worst imaginable loss. We'll see if we flop or not. You are right. They really did need to hold the 5 run lead in the eighth and win the series cause tomorrow odds of winning are about 20-80 after this game.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:28 AM) Bernie keeps winning the small states. Hillary keeps winning the big ones. What is so hard about that for you to grasp? Just watched the late night shows; lasted 15 minutes. Had to turn 'em off. The excuse was West Virginia was nothing to Hillary. She's running as an extension of Obama and W. Va voters hate Obama so she knew she'd lost and did. Also all 3 political networks immediately cut to the delagate count rather than saying Bernie had any momentum. They just want to keep Hillary in charge and keep the people believing Bernie has never had a chance so don't fret it now. I wish the pundits would just admit they want Hillary. If she ever did get indicted that would be hilarious cause I firmly believe she'd still win. "She got unfairly indicted. She did nothing wrong." She'd be President til the day the iron door slammed shut with her in the cell.

I just hate to give away a game. I firmly believe if Carroll is in the minor leagues where he belongs the odds are we can get the final six outs without giving up five or more runs. We've avoided the clown-like losses so far this season. Somehow just have to forget this one. But the picture of Coop in the dugout in the latter innings said it all. Coop looked fricking pissed at such an inept bullpen performance.

Carroll reminds me of Humber. Didn't he have 9 lives with the organization as well? Release him and maybe KC will pick him up and we still have to play KC 19 times.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:50 AM) Omg you all are terrible. Never seen more overacting in my life. Feel sorry for you all. It's a 162 game regular season...s*** happens and you move on. At the very least, you have to admit this result deserved the line Hawk used, "You've got to be bleeping me."

Good call by Hawk using the You Gotta Be Bleeping Me line. Oh well ... this is a reminder this is the big leagues and it's not gonna be as easy as it may seem this season. Horrific loss. One of the worst losses humanly possible cause the Rangers are gonna carry that mojo into the day game tomorrow and one loss will likely become two. BUT the good news is we've won so many games, including some we should have lost, so the team needs to man up and somehow forget about this one, chalking it up to the fact Nate and David were unavailable and Austin didn't get a great jump that he needed on that rocket to right center. Robin, my man, who I've praised failed tonight. The bullpen was total horses***! Horrible, horrible, baseball loss. But ... it has absolutely no effect on the big picture unless we melt like mental midgets.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:45 AM) Guys, Robertson and Jones were unavailable tonight. What are you going to do? Robin had no choice but to put the schmucks out there. . Really sad Robertson wasn't available to win this one for us. We need GOOD pitchers in against a GOOD team on the road. This loss is partly on Hahn. Carroll shouldn't be on our 40man roster.

I'm not going to completely melt down because of all the wins we've had, but the first mistake tonight and the hugest mistake was (obviously) putting Carroll in the game. You can't expect to win a major league game on the road pitching a guy like Carroll. Putting in a guy with the talent of a Carroll encourages a good team like the Rangers to not write this one off as an L just yet! Like I said, team has to shake this one off. You are going to blow games in the course of a season. Obviously Austin Jackson got a bad read but like they say defense suffers when pitchers keep you out there forever. Horrible loss ... man up and move on. Like I said it's difficult to blow a five run lead that late in the game and we did it.

Well, Sox will have to shake this one off. Totally inexcusable loss, but it happened. Move on.

As unbelievable as our start has been ... this would be a bad loss. Cmon. One more out.

Pure ridiculousness blowing this lead.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:26 AM) Still cannot believe he let Carroll face Mazara Is that Robin's first bonehead move of a spectacularly managed season?

Nice strikeout. Finally one out.

Man we need Robertson in badly. So badly.

How bout a 4-6-3.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:21 AM) Well ok, Carroll can't even be a garbage time reliever apparently. DFA If the Sox continue their no nonsense policy this season regarding performance he should be sent down immediately. Or DFA.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:20 AM) That was one of the most inexplicable moves I have ever seen. You mean using Carroll? This still could get more interesting as I am not a Duke fan.

Is Carroll gonna blow all the good will from our great start to the season?

It's extremely difficult to blow a five-run lead in one inning. Odds are we hang on.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:09 AM) Challenging plays in the 8th inning of a 5 run game is an abuse of the system. It should be against baseball's "unwritten rules." Hit somebody now.

Oops out by a mile.

Will that be a hit or fielders choice? Pulling for Avi to have a 2 hit night

Good conversation by Hawk/Stoney on the offense. Avi could use another hit.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:57 AM) Are you sure you pay attention to the Sox ? Check the bullpen usage in the last 2 box scores , especially last nights extra inning game Gee, sorry I asked a simple question. Nice triple by Jimmy and Abreu with the deep fly out and RBI.

Bernie won again! West Virginia. Cue the ... Yawn, he's getting killed. Hillary is running away with the normination; she has all the delegates. Who cares if Bernie won AGAIN. His campaign is going nowhere. Hillary is the choice of the people. Keep ignoring Bernie, pundits. If Hillary is so damn popular why has she been getting KILLED on the primary trail of late? Maybe I'll turn on the late night TV show replays tonight so I can hear them praise Hillary and ignore Bernie's win tonight. Trump is right. Bernie has been dissed so badly he really should run independent when this is all over.
