QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 03:37 AM) I've never been a complete Kenny backer...but I don't see how anyone can put all the blame for this year's struggles on him. Almost to a man, this board was ecstatic with the offseason and thought Kenny did everything (or almost everything) he should have been doing. The personnel moves were right....the fault lies with the players and the coaches. The time is now to get their s*** in order if we are to get back in the race. His recent trades have been disasterous. It's left us with this bloated payroll. Of course the blame goes to everyone, but with Ozzie getting a lot of heat, KW is the one who's had a few hideous seasons in a row.

Nice to see Jenks suck at least for Boston.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 03:34 AM) What was the attendance tonight? 18K and change? Brutal. God, the Twins will come in and kick our butts. We'll probably end up facing Felix Hernandez and Michael Pineda and then be finished off for good by the A's and Angels. We are facing Liriano, Felix and Pineda next week

Hey Kenny, nice collection of talent you have here. You should be held more accountable than anyone for this patetic roster.

Please, please send Sale down to become a starter. This is such a waste with him right now.

Just how many runs can our defense cost us tonight?

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 03:23 AM) I love our bullpen this year. Hitting sucks Starting pitching sucks Relief pitching sucks Defense sucks Base running sucks Managing sucks Hard to win games when all this is true

Patetic effort by Crain here. This team f***ing sucks. At least we don't have to hear that Alexei deserves a GG this season.

I love our defense this year

wow, walkoff slam for Indians

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:17 AM) That's not a bad idea except for the fact a lot of them don't hit well in the cold weather which Chicago has plenty of. Yeah, Starlin Castro looks awful in the cold.

Where was Conte ranked as a safety?

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:08 AM) How many young players have we drafted and ruined because we can't develop talent through the minors. Wonder how Jordan Danks would've done in the Twins or BoSox organization, same goes for Beckham and Flowers Well, we didn't draft Flowers. However, our organization's absolute inability to develop offensive players is baffling. Funny that it's basically all a bunch of white boys that can't hit a fastball. Be nice to spend some more money on Latin American players.

Crain's ready to give that run back. Need a DP by Lee or Vlad.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:04 AM) I'd just like to see him become decent trade bait again. No way that happens, as if he miraculously turns it around, we'd probably keep him. Flowers is the same way.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 03:00 AM) I can't wait to see Jordan and his 40% strikeout rate in the Bigs. He'll never make it to the majors.

There we go!! Screw Rios, we have our CF.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:58 AM) Are you kidding me? This is one of the most frustrating Sox games I've seen in the last few years.

Haha, you have to be kidding me. We need to sacrifice something.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:56 AM) Poor Danks, another game where we can't give him any run supp..... Oh, nevermind. Perhaps he just chokes in close games. He's just not a 15 million dollar a year pitcher to me.

Our defense has cost us 4 runs tonight, yet the box score won't show it.

Our starting pitching has been quite disappointing so far this year. It's bad when you look forward to seeing Humber pitch. Yankees...what do you want for Danks?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:53 AM) give bucky credit for turning him loose. He's a great manager

Danks ERA climbs to like 15 from the 6th inning on.

Wow, Buck is a hell of a manager. Good job AJP! BTW, Javy Danks again with a 6 inning disaster.
