We have been absolutely wearing Middlebrooks out

Yeah I think they wanted to see Hector and Axe one more time before making the call on 5th starter

Pretty good chance we just wanted another look at Hector.

Sox expect him to start Tues against Cubs

I have volume off. What's the story?

I love Alexei in the two hole.

We aren't in that dire of need for a middle relief pitcher. Hector has immense importance to our future. Our team will be better with Hector in the rotation. Good luck to Axe in the pen, I hope.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 21, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) Match up smatch up... he's been one of the better hitters on the team and playing decent defense too. Kepp does not deserve to start with how atrocious and lackadasical he's been. Kepp isn't even the one who stands to be benched.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 21, 2013 -> 02:42 PM) It's matchups--Boston sent back-to-back lefty starters. I know the reasoning, but we're trying to develop an everyday player here. Felix Doubront is nothing special. Tyler Greene is REALLY nothing special.

I don't like benching Gillaspie twice in a row

All the gamers I know hate it. This will not play old games and there will be no more used games. Each game will be assigned to a single XBL account. Still have to pay for XBL. I'm just going to get a Roku and be happy to live in the stone age...maybe I'll grab a PS4. Paying monthly for XBL will always kill it for me.

It's hilarious how mad people were at the prospect of losing PK

I really think they just don't want to sit Carlos Sanchez two days in a row

You really have to question how valuable he is after all of the drama and injuries

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2013 -> 12:01 AM) The Office finale was pretty much perfect Indeed QUOTE (Brian @ May 17, 2013 -> 09:17 AM) I watched Season 1 of The Office on Netflix since its only like 5 episodes. Outside of Amy Adams appearing, ugh. Is it like other series where it gets better in Season 2? Somewhat, yes. I used to not like the Office until I was able to get invested in the characters. You have to get to the point where they are practically your friends. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 20, 2013 -> 09:30 AM) Agreed. Bringing back Michael but only giving him two lines, including a perfect "that's what she said" was a great way to do it. I loved that. Totally caught me off guard too, somehow. QUOTE (MEANS @ May 20, 2013 -> 09:06 PM) Mad Men was pretty crazy/wtf this week. Indeed. I was on day 2 of surgery recovery and pretty doped up on painkillers and...it was weird. QUOTE (Brian @ May 21, 2013 -> 04:36 AM) No joke. I liked the flashback stuff about why he treats women a certain way, but jeez. I felt like I was on something watching that. See the above.

Okay Hawk and Steve, we MIGHT be overstating Dylan's contributions this season

KONAIRO

Hot damn

Blowing the heater by him

GAS

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 20, 2013 -> 09:57 PM) It would be time to make him the backup at that point IMO. Yeah, I'll give him a few more weeks. He's been so streaky I'm not sure what to expect

Can we bring DJ back to the booth for s***s and giggles too?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2013 -> 09:50 PM) He was the s*** this time last year, but only with more walks now. I want a hot June too. Get ready for a hot career.

COME ON TIMO
