According to sescoops.com, Daniel Bryan will not be cleared in time to compete at the June 29th WWE Money in the Bank PPV. Bryan was reportedly given the news backstage this afternoon by WWE doctors. Obviously nothing is official until the WWE announces it, but sescoops.com has a good track record. Their source is the same one that revealed Bryan's concussion back in January and also was the one that revealed that he would be needing neck surgery.

Need a win badly.

Complete lost weekend ...............some managers know when to use the bullpen some do not.

I would love to see Nieto first bomb.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:36 PM) Well listening to people here call him Mr K you'd swear he was actually striking out significantly more than his career average Cherry pick stats I simply want to see you post his stats when he is hitting his usual .180

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) I will if there's a noticeably increased amount of Ks and not just balls not dropping Then never then.

Abreu in a deep funk.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:29 PM) De Aza 6 for his last 12 with a walk and 3 doubles When he goes 2-30 next time I also want you to post his stats.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:28 PM) Why? Cannot draft a high school arm Hawk nonsense.

LAA 4-2 thru 8

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:24 PM) Won't get any argument from me. He makes the same "rookie mistakes" he did 3 years ago. I understand those sort of mistakes when it's your 1st year managing but things like leaving yourself short of pitchers in a 12 inning game like earlier this year, that stuff is just inexcusable as a 3rd year manager. Agree 100%

GB cannot get a hit when Sox need one badly.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:18 PM) No kidding, Sale clearly wasn't that sharp at the end of the 7th and probably you could make the argument in hindsight it was obvious and he should have been pulled after Alexie's error. You could see that he was at that point "effectively wild" as he couldn't spot his slider for s*** and his fastball for that matter as well. The velocity was there, the command was not. That said, last night is like reason #38382929 I'd fire Robin, he's been asleep at the wheel far longer than last night and his daily lineup construction is a bigger issue for me. Ventura has been over his head from day 1. Ventura is not 1% better today than when he was hired, I could care less he was a Sox player means nothing to me as a manager. This team wins in spite of him not because of him.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:14 PM) Hawk: "You're not gonna sneak up on Scioscia, he's one of the best" as he takes Wilson out in the 8th after giving up a walk. Yet RV decision is great..........Hawk is so full of it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:12 PM) I bet Aiken makes his debut as a teenager. Less than two years. He might I like Aiken a lot.

Hawk hates that Aiken went at #1 pick spot.

Throw that ball into the seats Mr. Webb.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 04:54 PM) Hawk is entitled to his opinion but so are those who disagree with Robin's decision to leave Sale in after he lost the shutout last night. The problem with Hawk is he declares Ventura's decision was "absolutely certainly the right decision" then mocks someone who disagrees with the decision "after the fact" as Hawk puts it. In the past Hawk has ripped opposing managers in situations like last night through the years, yet because it is RV time to coddle and baby him. Hawk loves to tell it like it is unless it is a Sox manager.

STFU Hawk

Hawk and Stone defending RV about last night company line 101. Abreu does not hit this offense does not score.

4 walks to Freese............Wilson getting that call inside pitch all day.

QUOTE (JoseJoseJose @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 04:38 PM) This sucks...you can tell Hawk is pissed Hawk knows this is a half ass getaway day effort today. Ok Hawk you have kissed Trout's behind enough.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 04:26 PM) This series feels like the beginning of a 4-13 stretch. Feel the same Detroit staff really has been struggling lately, I can see them getting well real fast against this offense.

LAA 4-0 thru 5
