Anything short of a sweep this weekend is a disappointment.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) If the Sox lose 3 out of 4 at home to Cleveland, that's really really bad. It's almost as bad as losing four of four at Minnesota. What is with this team? Are they really gonna give back three games of the six-game win streak to a s*** team? Must win tonight. Once they got to 18-17, I don't think it's much to ask for them to come home from the long trip at 26-26. So it's not a must win, but at least go 8-7 the next 15. Truthfully, a nice 5-game winning streak wouldn't suck right now.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 21, 2015 -> 11:42 AM) I'm sorry...that was on the ump. Harper shouldn't have been tossed. The ump and Williams couldn't finish their argument and then the ump got short with Harper, who had already gotten back in the box and then stepped out because of the continued back and forth between the ump and williams. There's a way to let the ump know you think he missed a call without saying "That wasn't even close", or whatever he said. It was an 0-0 count in the third inning. Once he did the foot in the box demonstration, most umps would have rung him up.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 21, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) Whatever happened to getaway day games? I have a rare Thursday afternoon with no meetings scheduled and I could have been filling the time with baseball instead of actual work. They usually do that for the benefit of the road team as a courtesy...and then it's returned back. The Indians are an hour flight away from being home. If they had a west coast game tomorrow, today would be a day game.

Harper should have been thrown out. If you're 22 and you've been thrown out of 5 games, it's you. Quit acting like a baby on a 0-0 pitch in the third inning.

Nice job by E Johnson. The other three teams outscored 29-4.

The Orioles doubleheader next Thursday was changed to a noon start, central. The forecast right now says 90 and sunny.

Abreu is overdue for his first multi-homer game. It's just time.

Good time for 2008 Alexei.

I'll stick with my preseason pipe dream... Todd Frazier.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 18, 2015 -> 01:49 AM) Really? No posts on the Mad Men Finale?? Overall, I thought it was very well done, and I'm really going to miss this show. It was very good. I'm a little disappointed somebody last week guessed right how it would end. When it got to the end, I knew what was coming. Not sure if Matt Weiner would do a spinoff, but I kinda hope they leave it there. Oh, and for one last time, it was stupid to split the season...even though we know why they did it.

Hope this one lives up to the hype...and the Sox win 1-0.

Dan Jennings, manager of the Marlins.

Great couple weeks. Another really good one could put the Sox in a playoff position, believe it or not.

Redmond fired. Business as usual in Miami.

Damn. Idiot fan behind home plate too.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 02:10 PM) Shelby Miller throwing a pretty good game with AJ as his catcher going into the 9th inning. Thank you

He's probably the same guy who put up 20 quality starts last year.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 17, 2015 -> 10:46 AM) Let's sweep here and end the road trip at 5-1. It would be like getting a win back from the Twins series. And hopefully we sweep them next weekend to get another one back.

We need Samardzija to go 7 innings/ 3 runs or fewer. Time for him to make better pitches.

Mitchell signed with the Angels

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 15, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) The next 15 games are against OAK, CLE, MIN, TOR and BAL who have combined for a 76-96 record thus far. If the Sox are going to make a run to get back in this thing, now is a good time to do so. 9-6 gets them back to .500, but let's hope for a nice 11-4 or 12-3 stretch. Absolutely the time to play good baseball and convert them to wins. 12-9 the next 21 brings them home from the long road trip at 26-26. That's what they need the next few weeks.

Guessing Sanchez won't be in the lineup. Ha.

He's got to have an interesting life story.
