Our pen just isn't built to cover this much ground. I would have made him lose the lead this early before pulling him.

I don't like pulling him this early. Let him clean up his own mess or he'll never get better

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 18, 2013 -> 04:47 PM) This ump has given Blanton more calls today. Definitely.

Gimenez is a terrible receiver of the ball

Unacceptable Gimenez

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2013 -> 04:25 PM) Why would you pitch to him there! Was thinking the same thing. Bye bye, Scioscia

Dunn!

Love the cheap runs!

Does he dance in the sand?

There's no way Alexei can talk s*** to Blanton -- language barrier

I'd much rather see the younger and more talented Jordan Danks than Wise. Stupid not to have ADA playing anyway.

holy baserunning batman

Dayan walks

FWIW, that play is really hard on the pitcher and doesn't have a real high success rate

Blanton making pitches

Questionable

Let's just keep AR in the two spot. Love him there.

Alexei en fuego

As I said in another thread, Yahoo! is trying to get team beat writers without the expenditure of having a Mark Gonzalez type guy doing it full time. They've allowed a lot of people to try it out on a provisional basis, but my impression so far is that most have not been allowed to proceed to a more permanent gig. They have some wonderful writers across all sports -- their LA Lakers writer won a $1500 bonus for writer of the year last year, and that does not include just sports. I write about more than the White Sox on there because I'm actually a freelance writer, but you can tell a few folks have joined just because they wanted to BS about their favorite team. It shows through in their writing.

They said I had probably been going bone on bone for years. RC tear was relatively minor, only need debrisment. They did a PRP on the labrum too, which is kind of neat. Now that my nerve block is gone, I'm laying around being a big wimp.

Nail it down, Addy!

Trade him now at peak value

GONE

No way would I part with Butler in said deal.
