Law is on ESPN 1000 in a minute. I want that catcher or Benintendi...or another bat.

I want a bat!

Correa up. Will face Chris Sale in his debut.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 04:27 PM) There are some miserable people here today. Get off of the computer and do something more productive than complaining! Or you could just go away and not have to read anything.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 04:07 PM) And Jose Quitana... Asked and answered. Go back and read instead of piling on.

The Royals bullpen played the first 54 with a 1.75 ERA. That's insane.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) 1. Robin Ventura is nice guy, great sense of humor - not a MLB manager. 2. Melky... WTF is going on. 3. Abreu... decent but his last two bats today were jokes. 4. .145 avg 2nd basement. 5. Shark... I really hate him at the moment he was great against the sox ... now we get him and he is a steaming pile. 6. Danks and Noesi are meat... 7 Avi has potential... but his approach is childish at the plate like many of our hitters. We don't coach like pros, we don't play like pros, we don't look like pros.. From top to bottom. BUT THEY HAVE FUN, AND THE CLUBHOUSE IS GREAT! That's all that matters.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 03:52 PM) So should we get rid of flowers too? I guess I need to say it every time--once you get busted while you're in the union, you're dead to me. I can forgive youthful stupidity, but once you're a grown up in the majors, no more.

First 54-- Record, Runs Scored, Runs Against, Diff Min 32-22, 243-225, +18 KC 31-23, 237-196, +41 Det 28-26, 218-226, -8 Cle 26-28, 237-233, +4 Sox 25-29, 196-250, -54

Hawk's praise of Simon was an F You to Samardzija.

The Sox will get buried the next couple weeks. They were lucky to be 25-29, quite frankly.

Christ sake. Don't ever sign a roid guy ever again, assholes.

Would it be too much to ask Melky to get on to lead off?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) I hate playing them 10 times in the first 2 months. Spread out the damn games Yeah this year, they went 8 of the first 10, and 8 of the last 10 series in the division, with 8 of the middle 32 series. So basically weeks 6-21 is a balanced league schedule of about 100 games.

If there was a ever a deal on the table for Samardzija in spring training, thank god he didn't sign. It's an easy decision already to let him walk without discussion.

Anyone else hate playing the same four teams 19 games a year? And getting our asses kicked?

They may still win, but what's gone on in this game is the reason why Sox fans hate their own team a lot of the time.

Drabek has been putting up good numbers. Hope they can get him on a path back.

Looks like they'll have a decent sized window to get this game in uninterrupted. Maybe nothing more will come through until after 4:30-5.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) I wouldn't be opposed to that either, but I think pitching is a bigger priority for the Sox at the moment. I mean, you can never have too much pitching, but they need bats...and a guy who's kind of a natural hitter intrigues me.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 12:08 PM) I really hope the Sox get Jay. I want nothing to do with Fulmer or Harris. Tate would be ok, but I don't know a ton about him. What about just rolling the dice on a bat like Benintendi?

If Sale, Samardzija, and Quintana had two great months of being a top 3, nobody would care that Danks had a handful of bad starts. He's a 5th starter who got hurt after being paid. Nothing he can do about it now. If he gets 32 starts, and the Sox go 16-16 in hist starts, mission accomplished from your 5th starter.

Chris and Christian Marrero batting back-to-back. Not confusing at all. Carroll 5.2 scoreless. Come on back.

Looking likely Carlos Correa will make his debut at the Cell.
