QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 07:05 PM) Gardenhire lost 188 games the last 2 seasons which is an improvement from the 195 he lost the 2 years before that. I should have prefaced it that I don't care about Gardenhire either. It could be anyone that Hahn hired on his own. So let's leave Gardenhire out of it and focus on what Ventura brings to the table right now.

I think he's terrible, but again, it's a hard argument to win. That said, for the people that don't want a managerial change (now or if things get really bad), what is it about Robin Ventura that makes him a good and qualified manager? It surprises me that he has so many people's support when all he's done is get hired for being the anti-Ozzie, blowing a division lead in 2012, and losing 188 games the last two seasons. I cannot prove that Ventura is to blame for all of this, but if there was ever a manager to replace for the sake of replacing, Robin Ventura is that guy.

I know this is getting old, but if Sale and Samardzija do what they're supposed to do, and the Sox get a few runs, the Sox will be 2-4. 2-4 never killed any team. That said, f***ing win tomorrow.

Adams gives up three hits, but avoids a run.

Fry gives up two hits and walk. 1 unearned run on a MeHowChessKey error.

I always break the season into sixths. 27 games is a decent sample size. If they can't get to double-digit wins after 27, then it's over. Until then, I'm going to hold out for a turnaround--because it's too damn early to give up. But man this sucks ass.

Last AL team with a win. When that comes, nobody knows.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 06:02 PM) Season already feels over.. You know privately Hahn and KW are freaking out.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 05:57 PM) Not according to the advanced stats. There's the problem.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 05:51 PM) We have 0 quality starts and 4 guys we're counting on for offense (Eaton, Melky, LaRoche, Alexei) with what, 4 hits combined? I'm finding it very difficult to blame Robin for this. Wanting a change in manager is a hard argument to win. Robin is a bad manager. He just is.

Dare I listen to Rongey after this one?

Hey Hawk, how's that cutting back your schedule looking now?

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 05:30 PM) Fire Steverson... He looks like he's on the verge of grabber. It might just work itself out on its own. Too mean?

Could you imagine after all of the moves, optimism, and ticket sales, if this team starts out 9-19? It would be o-vah....

Ok, plenty of time. Let's get a walk off win today, and build some momentum with our aces this weekend.

Buehrle 200-152

Dustin Johnson has 3 eagles today. I have one eagle in my life.

Well, Buehrle has a 10-1 lead, so I'm going to congratulate him on his 200th win right now. Good job, Burls!

Just curious...if 3 losses isn't enough to freak out about, what's the number?

So lame

Hopefully the rain up north stays north.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) Go Buehrle...going for #200 at Baltimore today. 4-0 lead without throwing a pitch yet.
