QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:41 PM) Need to win the next two to tie the pace of the 2013 club. Which then lost eight straight and never came within a sniff of .500 again. Well alright then!

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) For those of us who missed it, what was the injury to Lindstrom? did it happen on the Error in the ninth? Does Sale take his place as Carroll goes to the bullpen? Looked like he turned his ankle coming off the mound to field the bunt. Stone said he hopes it's not his Achilles. Time will tell.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:30 PM) Offense good. Bullpen Good. Carroll bad. Lindstrom hurt. Great comeback win. Defense bad. Cubans good. Paulie good. Great win indeed.

Sox win! That's got to deflate the Royals.

Big strike out. Now let's get the DP and call it a night.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) You know your roster is short when Ada enters for defensive purposes. That's why I'm curious about Carbonell.

Marcus loses the battle.

the more pitches you see...

Capitalize on that mistake.

Pick up that run from 2B.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) Well, except for that kid in Colorado...what's his name, Stone Pony?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:33 PM) More problems on the basepaths. Was there any way for Dunn at his size and lack of foot speed to avoid getting doubled off there? Just a bad break? Nothing anyone could have done on that.

Dang!

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:29 PM) The Abreu signing came out of left field, no? No, actually there was much speculation that the Sox were among the frontrunners for Abreu for a long time.

Another hit for the best SS in baseball.

Maybe the Sox are flying under the radar.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:19 PM) Carbonell is a 6’3″, 220-pound switch-hitter with four years of pro experience in Cuba. He's known for his speed and power and is considered by some to be a five-tool player. That's all I've got on him. You tell me. Where's Cubano? Maybe he could fill us in. Anyway, if he's a plus defender I say the Sox should make a very serious effort to sign him. Sox desperately need another good OFer and we've had good success with free agents from Cuba.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:15 PM) He has 5 offers, one of them rumored to be from us but unlikely How highly is he rated? Is he supposed to be major league ready or is he a longer term prospect?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:00 PM) Yes, but isn't that what the coach who gives thumbs /down sees? Stone said right away he missed it. One would hope Alexei knew if he touched it or not and that he would tell his coaches/manager the truth.

On another note, the interaction between Alexei and Eaton after the play at 1B puts to rest any speculation that there is a problem between them.

Paulie gives the Sox the lead!!!!

I thought he hit the bag with his hand.

He was safe.

Beckham having a rough night.

Good effort by Alexei.
