Whew. Now lets go to work boys! Get deep into the count and get Price out of there!

Well that's a fun start... single and a steal.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) According to the Sox website, they have 38 players on the 40 man and that is with Gray and no Milledge. Eh. No idea then. Maybe he is out of options.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 12:41 PM) If he still has an option left they should be able to just send him down to the minors with DFA'ing him right? Not if they need the 40 man roster spot for Grey. Milledge is being removed from the 40 man if he is DFA.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 12:17 PM) I really hope the Sox are able to overcome the DFA of Milledge to win this game. If they are half as upset as Soxtalk is, I doubt they can bring their A-game. Hopefully AJ brings the blowup doll to smooth things over...

Stat of the day from ESPN... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...ce=MLBHeadlines

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 12:04 PM) To everyone who keeps perpetuating the weird sterotype that Milledge is a problem-child because he high-fived a fan a few years ago after a catch and I guess because he had cornrows and dreadlocks, he did not have some "huge blow up with Ozzie". Ozzie said in an interview just now that telling Milledge he had been DFA'd was "one of the hardest conversations" he's had yet as a manager. Yeah for some reason he, Ozzie, and Kenny have had a pretty good relationship. He seems to respect the Sox organization, and it seems to have kept him in-line pretty well. Hopefully Ozzie just told him to go to Charlotte and keep your mouth shut because we really like you, and you will be the first call up if something happens. Honestly, the big thing that tells me there is something to the Milledge reputation is how quickly he has gone through team. He has moved around like Milton Bradley fast. Teams like Washington and Pittsburgh don't dump talents like that for no reason.

QUOTE (hawksfan61 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 12:04 PM) He is a lefty killer who can DH. Milledge is horrendous in the OF and has absolutely no business playing there. Fact of the matter is if you send down Tiny Brent your only backup OF is Teahen, who is also awful but slightly less awful than Milledge (think of Teahen as leprosy and Milledge as the plague). We need someone who can play some OF defense to get CQ out of there late in games more than we need more punch off the bench.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) Probably the second worst no-hitter I've ever seen though (second to A.J. Burnett's). Andy.Hawkins.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 11:37 AM) Two nasty sliders on display tonight. Let's hit them hard, because they can't hit back. the big thing is to work deep into counts. Tampa's pen is worse than ours.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 11:41 AM) simma down nah, y'all hear? Its Lastings Milledge, this guy couldnt play for the Nationals or Pirates last year either. That about sums it up. I can't see him getting claimed. He will be down in Charlotte in no time.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 11:45 AM) I just reread that, sorry. But still, it was a catch he should have made, he didnt look the ball into his mitt. It was equally as bad as Teahens drop. The difference is that Teahen is signed for another year That and Teahen plays 1b and 3B, at least on paper.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 11:25 AM) Jesus, you'd think the White Sox just released their #1 prospect. The sad thing is if he were just a bit younger, that wouldn't be too far off from the truth...

QUOTE (whitem0nkey @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 11:16 AM) not having Dunn is equalized that Manny will not being in. Maybe in 2007...

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 09:27 AM) Agreed. I'm watching The War right now. Also very good. He's apparently just signed a deal to do a 10-12 hour documentary on Vietnam due to come out in 2016. I'm excited for that because this country has never had a good historical documentary covering wtf actually happened there. Oh sweet!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) Ken Burns' series The Civil War has been airing on PBS this week. Probably one of the best documentary series' ever made. I need to get the DVDs one of these days and sit down and watch it.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 11:01 AM) Whoa, really? So who comes up, De Aza or Gartrell? Or a pitcher? Jeff Gray

Chris Rongey Dunn says his new timetable is tomorrow. At least he's hoping he'll play then. Not likely to PH today but didn't rule it out. (He won't)

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 10:57 AM) Wow, terrible choice of words, Dunn. Yeah, bad timing at best.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 11:11 PM) From the looks of it, Boston is starting to look like the 2008 Detroit Tigers. All talk on paper, no results on the field (so far). They'll work it out though. That Tigers team was a lot more flawed and less-talented than this Boston one. Its five games. Seriously the Yankees do this crap almost every year, and they are always there at the end. I don't see Boston being any different.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) CBS Sports The funny part about that is that it was his pad and his glove that obscured the views of the puck.

If teams really thought that much of him, he wouldn't have been there to sign a minor league deal with us. Teams are scared of his "problems".

Its just Manny being Manny...
