This defense is awful. Flowers off to a tough start defensively this season.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 01:36 AM) Again, what the hell were we doing in Spring Training? Having to convince the media that our manager really wants to be here

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 01:35 AM) Adios, Donnie. What's the deal with Leyson? Might as well give him a look in the near future. Before Gavin went down, I would have said you don't have to have any more lefties...but I don't want Thornton to be our only lefty, as he no longer gets lefties out any better than righties. Septimo is just starting a rehab assignment, I believe.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 01:32 AM) Donnie Veal isn't very good. It sucks, as he was a great find last year and a real valuable piece to have in the bullpen in our division.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 01:30 AM) The Bulls win makes this not so bad. Plus Moore may just be the best pitcher in either league right now, so there's that... Coming back to win last night was huge. Like I said earlier, just win one of the next two and be content with it. Sox very well may be facing 3 of the top 4 Cy Young candidates this year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 02:29 AM) DiMichele at .163, Hawkins at .169. Part of the Adam Dunn 100's club in the minors. It's pretty shocking how bad the offense has been for the Sox minor leaguers so far this year. Hopefully it's like last year where a lot of the big guys pick it up during the 2nd half of the season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 02:26 AM) Knowing the Sox, it will be someone like Jason Berken. It will be Jim Gallagher probably

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 02:25 AM) does the Erik Johnson era begin? Doubtful, as they seem to be stretching Santiago out tonight.

Rios 2 for last 22...Sox need him to get back on track to salvage some of these games coming up.

Rios now 1-8 with 7 K in his career off of Moore.

The terrible trio of lefties off the bench are producing at about NL pitcher level. Please Hahn, do something to help this roster out.

Wow, ball is flying out of the park to right field this series.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 12:48 AM) the real hector shows up Is it me or does Danks play a very deep CF?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 12:39 AM) NO............... Hawk makes himself look foolish. How long has it been since the Sox drafted someone who they developed and that player was a solid/above average offensive player for them? Thomas and Ventura?

Stay hot Dunn!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 12:23 AM) Does anyone really buy his notion that the Sox are great talent evaluators/developers? Pitching has been good. It's hard to be worse with their offensive evaluations.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 01:18 AM) Sounds like a 15 day DL trip. Same thing he had last year, right?

With the way David Price dominates lefties, the Sox better find a way to get more righties in the lineup tomorrow. I'd be fine with Gimenez catching and Flowers at DH with Dunn sitting.

Good at bat by Danks, but nothing to show for it.

QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 01:14 AM) Oh here we go, another one of Hawk's sabermetrics rants. Heart and soul of the game is amateur scouts, according to Hawk

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 12:06 AM) Santiago not lookin' good. Tough situation to come into. Hawk was dead on about trying to get ready too fast.

Two best young lefties in baseball now in this game

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 12:00 AM) Ugh. Santiago can fill that starter spot, but the injuries are really adding up now. 4 key players out if this is anything serious for Floyd. I wonder if it's the same elbow issue Gavin had towards the end of last season??

And Gavin's hurt...seems like an annual occurrence.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 27, 2013 -> 11:50 PM) Getting more interesting. 6 for 6 in K's. This is quite the lineup the Sox have tonight facing a tough lefty.
