I've given up on expecting any change with this team. I'm just going to assume they're using what they got until the all-star break, and if it clicks, it clicks. If it doesn't, they'll dump what they can the last three weeks of July.

I think more than ever, you gotta go by the 'smell test'. Konerko? No. Not yet. If he somehow matched last year's numbers for the rest of his playing career, and got in the MVP discussion again, yeah. That would be 15 years with the Sox, an ALCS MVP, maybe a couple top-5 AL MVP's, plus the 500 homers. At that point, he's got the credentials. But that's a long way away, and unlikely.

Danks went deep again-grand slam. That's 8. Escobar 3-3. Up to .255. Viciedo 2-4

Scott Podsednik is a free agent.

Saladino is playing for W-S.

If he makes 11 starts before the break, I'll be pleasantly surprised. I don't think he will, but I'm not going to hold my breath on every pitch. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 11, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) So, should we start a poll asking how many games until Peavy gets hurt again?

Sox have to go 33-23 from now to the break to be 47-46.

I'm not giving up on the Sox until it's apparent they can't get to .500 by the break.

If they call Viciedo up, could they get away with Alexei at lead off, and Teahen at 3B? God, I hate this organization. Absolutely no margin for error.

Dump Pena, and send Morel down. Call up Viciedo and find him ABs.

Who hangs up first? Sox get Reyes, Wright and Beltran Mets get Alexei, Morel, Viciedo, Flowers, Floyd, Sale I kid.

Indians are about to win. Great night.

What the f*** was that, Morel?

Jordy Danks?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 8, 2011 -> 12:30 PM) I like the 6-man rotation for the rest of the month. They only have this coming Thursday off, and supposedly pitchers do better on 5 days rest, so why not? Buehrle- Sea, Oak, LA, Tor Jackson- LAA, Tex, LA, Tor Danks- LAA, Tex, Tex, Tor Peavy- LAA, Cle, Tex, Bos Humber- Oak, Cle, Tex, Bos Floyd- Oak, LA, Tor, Bos Then they can figure out what they want to do. Chances are the person to take out of the rotation will answer itself by then. I'll quote myself, because this is what the Sox are going to do, according to Mark Gonzales. They will go with a 6-man through June 1. So....I rule.

Thompson 2-4, HR Mitchell 1-3, no Ks Heidenreich-7 inn, 2 runs

Viciedo walks. Balta, I think you're the key to his success.

Danks 2-3, HR Making strides?

Charlotte- Viciedo 3-3, HR http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...chraaa_colaaa_1 Birmingham- http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...cmcaax_biraax_1 Winston-Salem http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...potafa_wswafa_1 Kannapolis- http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...lexafx_kanafx_1

Promise me something... When the Sox win tonight, don't say "we won another series". Say "We won our 4th in a row, and tomorrow we're winning our 5th in a row".

Mitchell struck out for the 8th straight AB, and then popped up to the SS.

Looks like this pitcher for the Indians AAA team is pretty good. Wonderful.

Guess what Mitchell did in his first AB? I think that's 7 straight.
