I love Hawk but he seems like in a know it all mood today. I don't like his know it all moods. Oops ... he laughed at Stoney's line, there. Promising sign.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 02:29 AM) Perfect example of Avi's issues there This is definitely his last hurrah. If he doesn't hit, he'll be done after this season. It'll be davidson's turn to see if he can hit MLB.

How did the Sox lead the majors in homers during the spring? I still don't see a lot of pop in our lineup aside from Jose and Frazier.

Bernie has all the money in the world for his campaign; he's about to win Wisconsin big; he is vibrant and has all the kids on his side. He's different in an age where we desperately need somebody different in power. Why? Not? Bernie? GET RID OF SUPERDELEGATE SYSTEM!

I will not associate myself with a party that would allow Trump to be the leading nominee. Don't blame you, especially when Kasich would win it all if he was the nominee. Weird.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Mississippi just signed into law a measure allowing business and government workers to deny services based on religious beliefs i.e. refuse to hand out marriage licenses for same-sex couples. Good thing they aren't a destination state or tourist state or place the NCAA or NFL or other sports like to go to. Those organizations would now boycott.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) Sox really need to take 3 of 4 in this series. Anything less would be a huge disappointment in my eyes. 3 of 4 would be nice. Just.Win.Series.

Great win.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 06:01 AM) I cannot handle another bad year out of the bullpen, particularly closer. Please god anything but the closer losing us an inordinate amount of games. Bad year???

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 05:58 AM) Robertson was 34/41 in saves last year...yuck. Wait ... I thought our bullpen was fine the last 2 years and I should go to bed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 05:54 AM) 2 outs on the bases, 2 outs on bunts. Awful slide by Lawrie. It would be nice to win despite the flaws. Remember Oakland sucked that one inning as well. Would be nice to win the opener of a four-game series.

Nice job by Nate. Would be great to win this game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 05:41 AM) Go back to bed dude. No. You go to bed.

Maybe we need a bullpen pitching coach. Coop is awesome with starters. Our pen has reeked for a few years now IMO at least.

Let's score 3 runs here. Not good to only score in one inning.

Good heads up play by Navarro. Pretty impressive.

Abreu had some good hacks at that at bat but I never felt like he was gonna drive one fair like he did that one inning. Sox have had some good swings tonight. Well, this game is a lot like last year. Sox leading a close game with a ton of baseball to be played and a ton of relievers to be used. In other words, this baby is still up for grabs.

Good hustle but careers have ended on plays like that. Another step and I bet Jackson woulda got out of the way.

Lawrie with the bonehead play there. Nice job, Jackson.

Nice to see Rollins put the ball in play to right and Abreu to crush a pitch. So far, nice attack against a horrible pitcher.

Can you imagine if they put a shift on Pete Rose during his prime? He'd hit it where they ain't every time. Hitting it into the shift annoys me but it'll never change. At least LaRoche is gone.

Abreu is an easy guy to like. Nice little play there.

Let's hope Sale has "it" tonight and Sox are done with mental midget mistakes.

What is Eaton doing?? Hill is a hack and Eaton strays too far. Mental error one of the season.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 03:39 AM) The VA is so beyond incompetent that it needs to be eliminated. Veterans' health care needs to go under HHS and all other veterans' services under DoD. I think our next President should be the first to attack this issue and get all veterans taken care of and pronto. But that would be an issue that actually helps the people. None of our leaders seem too interested in making all our lives actually better. Trump and Hillary both seem like they have better things to worry about, like uh, themselves and satisfying their huge egos. This problem is DISGRACEFUL. Take care of our vets for gawd-sakes!!
