Rack em up again. This is incredible. The Sox really should be getting destroyed right now.

Well, he had to walk him.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:59 PM) Heads up, Hawks game is back on I'll hop on the bandwagon during the finals and see if I can cut out of work to "go to the parade".Carcillo brought the Cup to the Rush show I went to last year, the day of the parade. That was pretty cool. It was funny all the people screaming about the cup had no idea who he was. The guy next to me thought he was Sharp. Yeah, they look ALOT alike.

The only thing that saves De Aza from stupidity is if the contact play was on. Considering his past, it is hard to assume that, but then again maybe they just want to take as muchinstinct and thinking out of the equation as possible when he is on base. Flowers was just dumb. Maybe it a product of his barely being on base most of his career.

First off, De Aza has to let the ball get past the pitcher. And Flowers has to run to third, not stop 10 feet from it and run back.

De Aza and Flowers acting like tonight was their first time running the bases.

Has anyone ever noticed at the beginning of the season, Beckham is pretty buff. By August he gets pretty thin.

Beckham got the job done.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:51 PM) So how is Beckham going to ruin this inning? He will somehow strikeout into a triple play.

Hawk....Alexei is no kid. He's like your age.

Tanks is hitting the ball hard.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) Ray's announcers say we have a 110 BBs by our pitchers so far? Wow It was 10 higher than the next most coming in. Tonight 7 in 4 innings.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:43 PM) Abreu has tied a rookie record for homers in April with 8. He apparently hits a lot to CF. It is the one place the ball doesn't jump at USCF. But I guess he doesn't need the help.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) Ya there's no reason to crucify Robin tonight, Erik couldn't get anyone out and when he does he's lucky. And if it means Petricka and Putnam aren't available tomorrow, who cares. They still have a shot tonight.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) How is your command? Let's just say I would fit right in.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) Cannot be any worse than Paulino, Johnson or Leeman. True. But you could almost say that if the Sox signed me.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:28 PM) It would be nice if Hanson came up and was serviceable. Also a pipedream.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:25 PM) He's managing this game like it's game 7 of the world series instead of just letting Johnon eat it. Now, we probably still won't win this game, and the pen will be shot for the rest of the series. So he is actively losing this game by not leaving the guy who couldn't get anyone out in the game. There will be relievers available tomorrow.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:21 PM) Robin's awful. On the flip side, Hahn can't be watching this constant stupidity and thinking it's a good idea to keep him around when the team is ready to contend. YOu can't have your manager actively losing you games, and Robin is that bad right now. Furthermore, he doesn't seem to be learning. This is his 3rd damn year, no more excuses. How is Robin actively losing this game?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) What sort of message does it send to the team when a guy like Beckham comes up and immediately starts the first two games, including after an 0-4 3k performance? It's a s*** message. God, why are we "showcasing" a guy the entire league knows sucks? Gillaspie cannot play. He is basically playing for Leury, and he has to get time.

5th walk for the Sox pitching staff. It is ridiculous.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:04 PM) Shows just how desperate the Sox are. It is dire. No one is giving up competent bullpen guys, and the Sox need several. Hahn's only choice is to buy as many lottery tickets as he can and hope one or two of them somehow beat the odds and pan out.

The good news is the game isn't out of hand. The bad news is at least 7 1/3 innings of White Sox bullpen. The over looks like a lock tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 07:59 PM) If it makes you feel better, the great Matt Davidson is 0-3 with a strikeout and hitting .167. He is a stud. 6 years of control baby. When a team is so desperate for power they trade a couple good players for Trumbo, you have to figure they didn't think Davidson was really close.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 07:53 PM) Cooper's doing just a wonderful job with the pitchers this year....ugh It always amazes me, if the offense is bad, or the defense is bad, it is the coaching. If the pitching is bad, they just suck. Johnson was supposed to be a stud. Why isn't anyone saying the pitching coach has failed him?
