Tarp coming off.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 04:01 PM) The ball hit the foul pole. It was a HR. I was sitting right behind it at the game and saw it. I was wondering if that happened. Good to know.

Royals swept in Minnesota. Game ends on batter's interference.

Scott Carroll 7 shutout innings. 3 hits, 1 walk, 2 k's Javy Guerra, 2 shutout innings, 1 hit, 2 k's Guerra will be in Chicago before too long.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 02:47 PM) Buehrle just killing it so far this year. Good to see. 3-0, 0.86. Great!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 03:37 PM) Nice that means the pen rest of the way. Might be a short delay. Quintana could possibly stay in. Hopefully less than 45 minutes.

QUOTE (BPK @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) Yeah, where's Hawk? On his butt, watching the Masters.

Bad day for Hawkins, but he did just miss one last night (so did Coats). Tough park to hit homers.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) If his reports were good on Hawkins, would he then be credible? Even the BA Hot Sheet has a caveat on it: " One scout we spoke with believed Hawkins' bat was slow and noted that he swung through plenty of fastballs in the series he viewed." I'm just taking his performance with a grain of salt. Especially after last year. That's all very fair. Maybe it's the amount scouts and "experts" that bug me. Everyone has an opinion, and I really don't think it means much. I mean, if scouting were an exact science, then no first round pick would be a bust without an injury. That's why I'm not paying much attention to who the Sox are going to take at 3. It's such a crapshoot no matter how good the player looks in his uniform, or how hard he throws.

Beckham is Dhing for Birmngham today.

They're shooting for a 2:25 start time.

Who the hell is CJ Wittman? Everyone is a scout these days.

Actually looks like the rain is close enough not to start the game on time....which is nice.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) They should just move it to tomorrow Weather is going to be terrible tomorrow. They could easily play a dh in late May, or they have a mutual off day on May 29. Even better would be August 25th, where it wouldn't be a doubleheader or exceed playing 20 days in a row for either team.

The last thing the Sox need is Quintana pitching 3 innings, and then a long rain delay. Hope this thing gets ppd.

Davidson made his first error last night. Throwing. Good sign he hasn't been booting the ball.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) Won't hit us until 3 The way this season is going, that should take them to the 3rd or 4th inning. Score early.

Setting up for a great Sunday at the Masters. I'm thinking Hawk may have another day off tomorrow.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 12, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) I really don't think we are a s***ty team.. I think we have a s***ty arm in the rotation and 2 or 3 s***ty arms in the bullpen. If we got those fixed we would be pretty good I agree. If this team was scoring 1-2-3 runs a game, it would be over already. But the new offensive pieces give this team some hope. Plus it's no fun just giving up on a season until you have to. After last year, you might as well have some hope.

I like early season, send-a-message, roster moves. Have to do something before the Red Sox series.

Dumpster fire.
