Soxfest

Bobby Heenan reportedly broke his shoulder after he fell while getting out of bed on the 24th of this month. Heenan was in Las Vegas for a wedding, which he had to miss due to the hospital visit his fall and break required. The Wrestling Observer reports that Heenan's bones are very brittle due to the cancer treatments he's received; as previously reported he broke his back recently after a fall. He is said to still be in "very good spirits" though. Get well soon Brain

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) Indeed. He takes more pride in being the negative, complaining Illini fan. Some people are just that way. Negative is Beckman bringing Banks back.............no way on God's green Earth should that man still be employed. Illinois finished 112th in total defense and 105th in scoring defense. I am happy they got Gabe, but Banks being back brings down everyone's energy level and outlook in 2014. If it all goes bad they all will be fired. The defense will stop nobody simple as that, Banks is a clown.

Sox lose 5-1

Leadoff double Tank

Let break up the shutout.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 04:00 PM) 2/$30+, maybe 3/$45+ Not a chance...............a 36 year old not getting a 3 million dollar raise from 12 to 15 million.

Martinez another rbi. Det 5-0

Webb 2 k's

Ninth inning errors against Tigers becoming habit.

Loaded no outs

Semien error

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 03:41 PM) I like Victor, but he is going to get PAID. If we are spending money anywhere, I want a corner OF, 3B, or SP. I agree Sox have other issues but at 36 next year he may be cheaper than people think in a 2 or 3 years deal.

Joba 1-2-3................Det 4-0 thru 8

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) V-Mart's a good hitter, but you'd like to have a better bat as your DH. He's a .340-.350 wOBA guy, which is maybe barely above average among DHs. .303 career hitter and OBP is .368 could do a lot worse than Victor at DH.

I would love to see Victor Martinez take Dunn's spot next year. He would fit great in Sox lineup.

Really 2 bad innings last 2 days have done the Sox in.

Det 4-0 thru 7

Putnam nice inning

Det 4-0 thru 6

Scherzer on cruise control now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 02:51 PM) Petricka has done a very good job this season. He has been solid.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) Speaking of someone who doesnt belong on this team IMO. Having Semien and Micah Johnson in minors GB will be odd man out.

Det 4-0 thru 5

2nd time in 5 innings Hawk begging Kipnis to rest in Sox series.

Det 4-0 thru 4...................terrible with RISP today.........Sox should have 3 runs by now. Semien K rate as bad as it gets.
