QUOTE (Tex @ May 3, 2016 -> 09:59 AM) The DL might not work if he isn't really injured. Plus, why would he voluntarily fake an injury? Because it's a better option than getting released or Dfa'd. He shouldn't start tomorrow. It's throwing away a game.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 3, 2016 -> 09:52 AM) Just had a crazy thought . What if Danks retired and left that money on the table like LaRoche did . It's a nice thought, but he shouldn't. The Sox took the risk when they signed him. I could see him hitting the DL today. Try to clear his head for a couple weeks.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20160503 Just Charlotte and Winston-Salem tonight. Volstad scheduled to start.

Chris Volstad is coming off a decent start 4-28. He could start Wednesday.

105 isn't out of the question, but predicting anything higher than that is a stretch. Bottom line, they'll probably be the 1-seed in the NL, and we'll hope to watch them lose in October for quite a few years to come.

Maybe Gonzalez getting hit with a line drive was good for him. Can start Wednesday.

Adolfo left with injured hand

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ May 2, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) How is May any tougher than April? It may prove out not to be, but the Sox need to show they can consistently beat the four other teams in their division. Really, if the Sox are truly a very good team, then other teams have to worry about playing them...not the other way.

Fun note: After McCutchen hit a homer off Jason Hammel, the only starting pitcher to not give up a homer this season is Jose Quintana. (Min 25 innings)

Lead off walk for Anderson. Turner- k, two groundouts, walk

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 2, 2016 -> 12:58 PM) Pretty sure currently all 15 AL teams have as many or more wins vs teams that were .500 or better last year than the Cubs. That's an amazingly bad schedule for the Cubs. And the NL is just also amazingly bad. Interestingly enough, the NL is leading interleague play at 17-13. That will change.

For 21, Michalczewski is doing well in AA. Hope some of his doubles turn into homers over the next couple years.

I can't see him coming back ever. He just doesn't seem like he's the type to stop playing, and then go, "I really miss pitching and getting cortisone shots and being away from family".

Hope they go at least 24-20 the next 44. 42-28 would have them at .600 with 92 games left. That would be sweet.

May 3 - June 19...for Caulfield 3 vs Bos 2-1 3 vs Min 2-1 3 at Tex 1-2 3 at NY 1-2 3 vs Hou 2-1 3 vs KC 2-1 4 vs Cle 2-2 4 at KC 2-2 3 at NYM 1-2 3 at Det 1-2 3 vs Was 2-1 3 vs KC 2-1 3 vs Det 2-1 3 at Cle 1-2 23-21 the next 44 would be fine.

The thing with Lincecum is he'll have to make minor league starts for somebody. If he signed with the Sox, he'd just be an extra option. That said, I think he'll sign elsewhere- probably Baltimore.

I'm rooting for Danks just to be the same guy as the last couple years. That would be acceptable 5th starter stuff. Hope Wednesday he'll pitch well enough to face the Rangers. If not, he may be done. Like, done done.

One of the biggest keys to the Sox record. He has been incredible.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 2, 2016 -> 09:04 AM) For a team with a front office who get to work in a clown car, a manager who shouldn't manage a lemonade stand, and a roster full of has beens and never weres, they are doing pretty well, although if you read gamethreads, should be doing better. It's fun notes, not twat notes.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 2, 2016 -> 09:00 AM) Yankees are really bad, but the other teams on the right should have a good chance of winning at least 2 of 3. As for the Sox sweep, you must have forgotten that the black hole in the rotation pitches Tuesday. Wednesday. But, yeah.

Fun note: Game 7 of the World Series would be six months from today.

The next series for the teams right behind the Red Sox: Tigers at Indians Orioles host Yankees Rangers at Blue Jays (that could get interesting) Mariners at A's Royals host Nationals If the teams on the right win two out of three or sweep, while the White Sox sweep the Red Sox, you'd probably see the Sox playoff chances jump to 80+%

Red Sox beat the Yankees. They come to Chicago with the second best AL record. Go Danks! No, really. Go.

Royals win and go 1-5 in Anaheim and Seattle. They're done with the pacific time zone. Sox make this same trip right after the all star break.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 1, 2016 -> 05:49 PM) Considering the weather for this series, another long week on the road and the opponent, coming back to get the split is tremendous and worth nothing as is the 5-2 road trip. Nice to come home, get a day off, get some rest off a win. Hopefully the weather is decent in Chicago this week. As far as Chris Sale...he's the best in the game. Period. End of discussion. Mark Going to complain when Zimmermann wins Pitcher of the Month?
