Sanchez and Tekotte hr. Hawkins back in the lineup. RBI single.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) No one said anything about a 10 game winning streak. But its not surprising to see you get excited about losing. Good news is you arent the only one. If they go 18-9 from here to the break, I'm all for it. It just doesn't appear that will happen, so the next best thing is to look forward to the future. I don't want another 99-loss season and top-3 pick. One year of that is enough.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) Now there's a surprise I don't get it. Am I supposed to keep waiting for 10-game winning streak? Ain't happening, and I've been pretty optimistic all season. Now it's time to get Rodon signed, get some international players in the fold, and make some trades to get better for the future.

I think for the first time today, I'm looking forward to the trade deadline and what they can hopefully get done.

Yost may find a way to blow it, but the Royals have a shot at high 80's wins still. They could play more than 162.

0-26 on Saturdays. come on! Let's do this! Sale vs Buehrle two weeks from today.

It's just better to assume Flowers is going to K. Don't kill yourself over him. He'll be gone soon enough.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 03:15 PM) When does Bristol start? They aren't a Sox affiliate anymore. But I do know it will rain there. Arizona short season begins June 20.

I'll give the Sox credit for playing .500 for 66 games. That's not bad considering injuries and lack of talent. But, I think we've reached the "Separation Zone" of the season. BY the time they get to the break, there will be more teams that are clearly sellers. The Sox are headed that way.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) Saturday streak alive and well?? You just beat me to it. 0-11. Good lord.

We need Micah Johnson to be a great lead off hitter. Eaton is a 9-guy...and there's nothing wrong with that.

So it looks like the Sox aren't scoring today, and we're waiting for Noesi's one bad inning in the 5th or 6th...k great.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 01:45 PM) Now he's just making trades out of pure boredom, right? It's interesting timing considering they just picked up Tuiasosopo, and still have Danks, Tekotte, and Mitchell on the Charlotte roster....and they want to give Semien some playing time in the OF.

How long before Hawk realizes El Canon isn't catching on with anyone?

Every time the Sox look like they're about to start a 7-game losing streak, they win a couple games. Hope that continues.

I'd like to change my answer to tomorrow.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 06:22 PM) First shut out of the year. Sox win 2-0. Oops

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 05:40 PM) Sox win 7-5 First shut out of the year. Sox win 2-0.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) Looks like the Sox got Henry Rodriguez too. He appears on the Knights roster on the 7 day D.L. 38 walks in 25 innings. Yeesh.

Charlotte/Pawtucket postponed

Laumann and others said he would be getting rest, even if he signed now. So he's in the rest period, but unsigned. I expect he'll sign in the next 10 days, and find his way to the Sox bullpen by mid-August. Chris Sale debuted August 6, 2010, so mid-August isn't out of the question.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) I am sure in 7 weeks we will know where we are at I hope so. If the Yankees win tonight, the Sox are still only 1.5 games out of the wc spot. There could be a whole lot of nothing at the trade deadline if a ton of teams hold out hope of playing .500 most of the season, and getting one 20-game stretch where you go 15-5.
