http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20140504 Leesman, Doyle, Wendelken, and Danish scheduled to start. Still haven't heard why Davidson came out of yesterday's game, but with Gillaspie there on a rehab assignment, probably good timing for a three day rest if he needs it.

Snodgress: 6 ip, 8 h, 2 er, 1 bb, 7 k, 2 hbp, error

Just for some perspective, this is the current roster: Lineup: De Aza, Beckham, Abreu, Dunn, Viciedo, Ramirez, Danks, Semien, Flowers Bench: Konerko, Sierra, Garcia, Nieto Rotation: Quintana, Danks, Noesi, Carroll, Rienzo Bullpen: Putnam, Cleto, Petricka, Webb, Downs, Belisario, Lindstrom Not a winning team. Get Sale, Eaton, and Gillaspie back and stay healthy the rest of the season, maybe they can win some games. Right now, not good enough...and possibly horrible.

They sent down De Los Santos. That's cold.

Basto is a 20-year-old hitting .300 in high-A. Doesn't make him a great prospect, but not bad.

Sox were 8-5 in the division. Now...8-10. That Verlander game was the worst. And this one. And yesterday's.

Remember that year Viciedo, Flowers, and Alexei were 1-2-3 in batting average on May 1st? That was funny.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:35 PM) Clev 2-0 thru 8...................last chance. The way this season is going in baseball, we gotta shot.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:24 PM) Webb is not going anywhere right now. Just trying to figure out what they're going to do... It's probably got to be Cleto, Webb, or Putnam. If they DFA Cleto, I'm completely ok with that.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:21 PM) Wouldn't that leave them with no backup infielders? Yeah that's true. Maybe Webb goes down. He's not exactly throwing a ton of strikes.

Wonder if Semien could go down tonight. Hang on to the pitching until Thursday when Gillaspie is ready. Otherwise, it looks like Putnam might go, and he deserves to stay.

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.
