QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 09:07 PM) I feel like I remember a completely different last out in 2005. To clinch the division.

Ya Rienzo is nothing spectacular but he'll give us a chance to win games, perfect 5th starter. I hope Robin is proactive now and moves Matt out of the 9th and gives Webb his shot. Matt's been a successful middle reliever in his career, let him go back to it. But for whatever reason, he doesn't trust Webb and Matt is old so he earned the closer's spot or something. Semien and Abreu are the coolest.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 09:00 PM) looked like the last out in 2005. Good call.

Or that!

Just walk him at this point, don't get cute.

It's one of those just hope he hits it at somebody type of situations.

Dayan just scary on that play.

Danks is one hell of a cf.

Jordan Danks is no Jose Abreu.

Matt's warming, it's him for the 9th.

Look at Konerko go.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 08:26 PM) I'm a fan of his bat, but you can tell he's not picking up the ball at all at the plate. More checked-swings this year than any other Sox player I've seen in a month span. He's also got royally screwed more than anyone I've ever seen in a month span on check swings.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 08:23 PM) It's pretty relevant when you have people freaking out about players in late April. A look at the box score for our game on this day of last season and we have players batting: .100 .125 .188 S*it happens in a small sample-size. If De Aza is still hitting like this in a month, come back to me. For now I'll go ahead and side with the much greater track record and the fact that balls just aren't falling for him. There's a lot of people that aren't going to like Ale no matter what. His bat will be fine, no worries there.

Semi difficult play that Jordan made look real easy. To the 8th.

Hawk and Stone with some laughing gas in the booth tonight.

Good job Scott!

Andre is nothing special but he'll give us an opportunity to win games as the 5th starter. If only we can figure out this damn pen.

Wow, that was impressive.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 1m All three of Semien's homers have come in seventh inning or later to give Sox the lead. And the other two have resulted in blown saves. Let's change that tonight please.

MARCUS!!!!!!

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) Frankly if we tanked that meant the talent on this roster was not good and 1 extra player wouldn't help. Now when we look at roster we're like "man one more player and we're stacked!" One player in the NBA can make a hell of a difference. Add that to A potentially healthy Derrick and you're really onto something. Even if we assume Derrick is permanently broken, I'll take rebuilding with a top pick over bringing in someone like Melo at that point cause we are more than one player away if Rose isn't Rose. Like I said, not mad at Thibs about this cause realistically we were never going to tank but we really could have set the franchise up nicely if we did it correctly. EDIT: this is worded poorly. Basically my point is if you add a top pick to a healthy rose then you're really in business and if Rose is a goner then you still have the top pick and can still add to a core that had no realistic chance of winning a championship this year after Derrick died.

I mean, we would be better off with a lottery pick, I'm not sure there's an argument to the contrary. But I'm not blaming that on Thibs, it's not in his nature to tank and everyone knew that.

Can we get a redo on tanking?
