The Cubs are going to have to get a couple front line starters before they can actually compete. They may be getting one a week from tonight, but there's no guarantee there either.

Just saw the MLB Now poll question is: Which Chicago team will make the postseason next? To me it's about 50-50. It certainly isn't slam dunk for either.

Thank you, Paul

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 30, 2013 -> 02:58 PM) let nate go two maybe three innings and then sit at Charlotte until the all-star break. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's not on the plane tonight.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2013 -> 02:50 PM) No chance he gets moved down Yes, he will.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2013 -> 02:49 PM) I'd be shocked if he's leading off tomorrow. He won't be.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ May 30, 2013 -> 02:39 PM) They won on Sunday. The baseball week starts on Monday, but you probably knew that.

Over 4 runs...turn it off. It's over.

Rock Bottom.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) Wow. No Flavum numerical projections on what we have to do to run down the Tigers, haha. Guess he's past the denial stage on this year's Sox squad. Yeah, there will be no Road to 89 Wins this year. Tigers are still getting to 93-95, maybe higher. Sox just don't have the bats this year. Hopefully they make smart moves going forward.

Royals demoted their hitting coaches, and hired George Brett as interim hitting coach. That's Step 1, Ned.

If the Sox face Buehrle at home, it'll be June 12.

I didn't really watch the 3-inning rain game the other night. Did Hawk sound rough at all?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 30, 2013 -> 10:07 AM) Any chance his "sore throat" was caused by the outburst after the blown call, so it was decided that he needed some "rest"? Rick Hahn and Brooks Boyer were both on Talkin' Baseball with Bruce Levine on Saturday. Hahn was asked about Hawk, and Hahn sounded supportive of Hawk. Boyer was on later, and Bruce didn't ask one question about Hawk---which makes me think the topic was off limits. I totally think Hawk was suspended.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 30, 2013 -> 09:54 AM) Is this game even gonna get played? When does the rain start? They'll be fine. Rain later tonight.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:58 AM) People were following him before this? Anyway, as wite said, looks like a good guy to take a chance with, especially with the lack of lefty relievers in the Sox org. You don't have to follow somebody to do a quick twitter search. Hell, you don't even need to have a twitter account. I don't.

Somebody asked yesterday what the Sox record is when they give up 4 or more runs. It's 4-18. When they give up 5 or more, it's 0-17. Sad offense. Leaking bullpen.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:40 AM) I can't find this in the usual places... what is your source? Just curious as there have been a couple times you had other minor league info like this that I couldn't find until later. I'm always searching for sources. https://twitter.com/Josh_Romanski/status/340075982952222721

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ May 29, 2013 -> 10:21 PM) Has there been any news on the rained out game? Any common off days to speculate? Might be June 24, but the Cubs players have to approve because of consecutive days played. They're probably waiting to see if they get the game in tomorrow.

Royals blowing another one. After starting 17-10, I'd be real disappointed if I were a Royals fan.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2013 -> 04:36 PM) It was only two games. 24-26 after 50. 19 games against the Tigers to come. We suck.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 29, 2013 -> 04:14 PM) And no one has cried rebuild since the offseason. So not sure what you're referring to about May 29th. Everyone wants to read what they want to read.
