6 HR in 34 innings for Sale...righties are hitting him very hard this year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 2, 2013 -> 12:34 AM) I'm SOOO over tyler flowers. Give me Gimenez There's no way our scouts really thought he could be a full-time starter and perform well vs RHP. Everything about him screams platoon catcher.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 1, 2013 -> 07:29 PM) Nobody would get within 60.5 feet of Danks contract. Axelrod has little if any value. Yep, Axelrod has way more value to the Sox as a 5th starter than he would on the trade market.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:26 AM) I love Hawk. He said, "We played terrible and we'll be back." Not many teams have announcers who can get away with saying that their team played "terrible." Well, Sox, your month of April pretty much sucked. Not many highlights. Main story of month: Injuries. Second story: s***ty defense and bad offense aside from good amount of homers. Third story: Great great closer. Rest of the relievers unreliable. Do you all agree with my storylines? 1st story, 2nd story and 3rd story should be: this team can't hit It's amazing how the last month of the season has basically been replayed so far during the first month.

Kenny Williams is so much smarter than we give him credit for.

DJ Peterson has some sensational hitting stats. Judge's stats are far less impressive.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 1, 2013 -> 02:43 AM) Dunn solo jack to come at some point You're awesome

QUOTE (Jake @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:37 AM) No. Our bullpen is fine. And so is theirs. You would think their bullpen was Cardinals-esque based on comments on this site.

Wow, just wow.

Is Tigers bullpen better than the White Sox bullpen?

QUOTE (Jake @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:33 AM) Lots of talk yearning for the return of Gordon...but do you really want to see Gillaspie go to the bench? Do we prefer Gordon to Keppinger? I want to see Beckham first just so he can try to play his way into a contract extension. It is funny hearing Hawk say that the Beckham loss is the biggest cause of the bad play. If you're relying on Gordon Beckham to set the tone for your team, then you suck.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:29 AM) 5 back in last place The next 2 weeks is definitely danger time. If the Sox keep playing poorly, they can easily put themselves into a hole that statistically is very difficult to overcome. With that said, a lot of this has to fall on the pitching, as the offense scored a decent amount of runs against 3 of the 4 best pitchers in the AL.

Why do the Sox always pitch Kinsler inside?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:27 AM) That is up to someone to tell him where to throw and Dunn to be there for the cut. That is one thing konerko does really well. With all the injuries, it's been hard to get a lot of continuity in the lineup/on the field.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:25 AM) Terrible route by de Asa gave that up. Since when was Mackowiak playing in LF?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:25 AM) wow, he was out Yep, of course Hawk was pouting too much to even look at the replay like Stone did.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:24 AM) On top of it all Dunn was out of positon. He needed to be in the middle of the field to cut that throw and stop the guy from going to third. Nice observation...ugh

Lindstrom with 6 runs in his last 3 innings now. This bullpen has imploded quickly over the last two weeks.

Why oh why do you bring Veal in when he's been so awful? De Aza played that one awful as well.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:19 AM) And if he didn't start believing his own suck ups too much, he might have. He lost so many good players because of his ego. Very true, but Hawk would blame it on injuries and not issues in the clubhouse, etc.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:15 AM) Anything wrong with that? Not at all, it's just it could get awkward if the wheels completely fall off. Reminds me of how Hawk used to say that Ozzie could easily have 2 or 3 World Series rings.

Nice job by Ventura of taking Q out

QUOTE (Jake @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:13 AM) He had some big ones last year when De Aza went down, too. I have to think his stretch with the Sox since he came back last year has been his best stretch as a major leaguer. He had a real tough time his first time here, probably because Ozzie thought he should be an MLB starter It was cause Ozzie thought he should be a leadoff hitter.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:11 AM) "Robin will overcome this because Robin is a man of a very strong character" Honestly, I have never been a Hawk hater--but it is seriously getting to the point where I can't enjoy team success. Hawk's "all in" with Ventura.

WISE! MVP of the game is Jordan Danks' knee.
