flavum

Beckham 4, Gillaspie 5, Abreu DH, Viciedo 7, Ramirez 6, Konerko 3, Flowers 2, Sierra 9, De Aza 8. Rienzo 1 Make it quick and painless.

I equate Keppinger to Scott Linebrink. At the time, they had to do something...and then it went to hell.

There's only one good thing about the unbalanced schedule....the Sox won't be playing in Oakland after today.

Paulino is starting. That is all.

Phegley 2-run homer. Johnson grounded out. Saladino in LF.

49 games in Winston-Salem 42 games in Birmingham I'd say that's the fast track.

19-21 at the quarter-mark. Yeah, that's about right.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 12, 2014 -> 05:14 PM) Less then 4 hours til game time, no line ups yet than. Usually 3 hours before game time.

Sale is supposedly starting Thursday at Durham.

Cleto was outrighted to Charlotte. Liddi and Purcey released.

Not expecting much good this series. Hopefully steal one and sweep the Astros.

Carlos Sanchez--a homer away from a cycle. I'll take the under.

Ever cut your nipple off for a girl?

That's too bad about Johnson. A huge blow to the Sox if he can't come back and continue to develop.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 12, 2014 -> 11:26 AM) I can't handle this rollercoaster. I want Kolek now. KOLEK. I agree. 24 days to go. The Sox will get a pitcher we're happy with and that could end up great or a complete bust.

Johnson in trouble in the 2nd. single, single, double, single, single to start. 3-0 two on, nobody out.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140512 Charlotte and Birmingham with early games. Erik Johnson scheduled.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 12, 2014 -> 06:56 AM) I hope he comes back on the 24th when I am there (and when it's Chris Sale bobblehead day). You better hope when he throws on Thursday, it's a simulated game. If it's a real game, he'll probably be pitching fives days later...and then another five days vs the Yankees, which is the 25th. At this point, the 25th seems more likely.

For most people, going to a Sox game is something you look at the schedule weeks and months in advance, and choose a game. That usually happens for games in June, July, and August. Not a lot of families are going to wake up on Mother's Day, and go to a Sox game. Maybe when the Sox get better, they'll draw. Until then, 1.6-1.7 mil this year.

Yesterday was the beginning of the end. Flowers running to third. Here comes a 3-6 road trip.

Ventura gets such a pass in this town.

A week ago, I didn't think the Sox had a prayer in Cleveland. Hope it turns out that way today.
