Really dumb not to bring up an arm when you can. Ventura didn't want one because Danks pitched deep on Wednesday. Lesson hopefully learned.

This was the king of all "giving it right back" games: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NY...200708020.shtml ended up winning.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 05:37 PM) They also wouldn't get the extra roster spot for tomorrow so someone would have to be sent down and wait 10 days before coming back. Omo's been there before.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 05:27 PM) Can we call up somebody to get here for the 2nd game? No, but it would be interesting if they pulled Johnson from his start tonight, and put Axelrod in the pen tonight. edit: the Charlotte game starts at 6:05, so it's probably too late for that.

Watching all 18 innings of the doubleheader would require mass quantities of alcohol.

Leave the bases loaded? Team sucks.

As soon as the "Open for Business" story happens, they start hitting.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 04:11 PM) Sign me up. I don't have a problem with Kepp, but I'd rather give his ABs to someone else at this point, like Morel. A Gillaspie / Morel platoon would be fine. I don't know if it would be "fine", but good enough, cheap, and easily replaceable once somebody better comes along. It would be nice to get that contract out of here.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 12:29 PM) It's important to make sure you have 3 third basemen on the roster for a doubleheader. Yeah, I don't get it. Makes me wonder if they're close to making a deal and Morel will be staying. Probably not, but it's odd they aren't bringing up an arm.

Gillaspie is back, but Morel is staying as the 26th roster spot.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 10:45 AM) Stubborn as Kenny? Huh? http://majorleagueaholes.com/2010/12/03/going-for-it/ That did happen. Kenny was going to start this thing 3 years ago but Jerry, of course being an evil cheapskate, decided to up the Sox payroll to record levels & go for it all. And spend nothing on the draft.

Anderson 3-5, .316

Coming into tonight, Birmingham has scored 47 more runs than the next highest team in the Southern League.

Another hit and SB for Anderson

Add a walk for Hawkins. His best game as a pro without a homer.

Hawkins 2-4, double single, 2 RBIs, no K's Who is this guy?

Mets win to match the Sox record 32-43. Tied for 4th worse record approaching the half way point.

2-RBI double for Hawkins. Now you chunkin'. Single, SB in first AB for Anderson at Kannapolis.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 05:17 PM) Normally I'd complain about not wanting to trade Konerko, but with his performance the last year or so, he won't get you much anyway. Let him finish the season (maybe career) in a Sox jersey. I agree. It's possible they already know this is the final season of his career. Let him go out as a 15-year Sox player. Maybe get some good crowds the final weekend against KC, and send him off right.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130627 Bristol lost earlier. Tim Anderson makes his home debut tonight.

5 weeks to go.

Ventura is preparing his cap for the tipping.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) What's he saying now? I stopped watching and decided to watch Franklin and Bash instead. Just saying the Sox have a chance with 19 games left with Detroit. No, it just means the Sox will go 6-13 and be buried even more.

Hawk--please stop
