QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:09 PM) Hooray Just a fact. Not Hernandez or Tekotte.

Sierra will be on the team tomorrow.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:00 PM) Alexei is hitting about .170 vs. Masterson. Big picture, I don't care. Beckham shouldn't be hitting 2nd right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2014 -> 06:58 PM) Hopefully Ventura tries to change the lineup around. I'm fine with ADA leading off, but I think Alexei should bat 2nd. I agree. Not sure what they're trying to prove batting Beckham 2nd, other than he sucks.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2014 -> 06:54 PM) Sorry, dude, I was travelling for May holidays in China the last three days and have been out of the loop. Probably better off not caring about the Sox for a few days ever since we lost that 3-0 lead against Verlander and now Eaton getting injured again, since it's all bad news and unlikely to get better against the Cubs. Ok, that's a valid excuse. And yeah, I think the free fall has begun. Could get ugly until Sale and Eaton get back.

Double for Thompson. RBI single for Ravelo.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2014 -> 06:47 PM) Apparently Carroll put out a video on youtube....homemade, thanking everyone and saying that he will endorse ANYTHING, whatever you need, he's your man. Some needed levity this week. Does anyone have a link to that? Great sense of humor from the kid. Refreshing story and a breath of fresh air. Really? I haven't heard about this at all over the last week.

It would be nice if the Sox could rid themselves of Beckham and Keppinger in the next month. Not counting on it, but it would be good.

May is going to suuuuuuuuck.

C'mon, Mr. .350 hitter.

How are we not going to score this inning?

Well, April was fun.

Jones will have out-patient surgery on Monday. They are not expecting this to be a season-long injury.

Hopefully he can come back May 13 at Oakland, and still make 29-30 starts.

Nice "relief" appearance by Surkamp 6 ip, 5 h, 2 er, 1 bb, 7 k Purcey came in and lost it in the 9th.

Carlos Sanchez is having a pretty nice season so far. If the Sox don't have room for him over the next year, he might be a nice trade piece.

Cubs series is looking like this: Mon- Quintana vs Samardzjia Tue- Noesi vs Jackson Wed- Wood vs Danks Thu- Arrieta vs Carroll

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 3, 2014 -> 02:10 PM) Steverson will fix 'em! Seriously though, what's the scoop on this guy (hitting, fielding, arm, power, speed, etc.)? Does he have any potential to be productive or is he just a warm body? Without knowing too much about him, he looks like a decent 4th outfielder. Decent pop in his bat. Good speed. Knows how to take an occasional walk. Just hasn't hit major league pitching well yet.

35 players by May 4th. Good grief.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:41 PM) Wow, what the hell is wrong with him? Is Sierra going to replace Eaton on the roster now? I think Sierra will join the team Sunday. Then they'll send out a pitcher. They have 8 in the pen now.

There's a new lefty. Bruce Levine reports.

Eaton has been placed on the DL.

Nate Jones has been placed on the 60-day DL to make room. I think Jones coming back this season is looking grim.

According to the Blue Jays. Not sure if this is a good thing.

Paulino's rehab start: 2 IP, 5 h, 2 r, 1 er, 1 bb, 1 k 46 pitches, 26 strikes No word on Davidson yet.
