QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 15, 2013 -> 03:16 PM) Don't want to count our chickens before they hatch, but it's sure looking like the Sox are going to be 17-21 after 38, 5 games back of Detroit for 1st in the Central. That's a half game different than last year, and the team is just starting to hit a little bit. I bet 3 weeks from now, the Sox are in 2nd place. June 5th...when they get back from Seattle. If they can go 13-7, that'll get them over .500. It's doable.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ May 15, 2013 -> 03:15 PM) Dunn 3-4 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. Who is this guy? That's what 4-hitters are supposed to do once in a while.

Big props to Axelrod. This game could have gotten away quick.

It's nice they can fly to California with a positive feeling.

Tigers lose

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ May 15, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) They were 6-0 against them coming in. Bases juiced, 2 outs. 7-5 Hou

Giddy up!

Axelrod does have stones.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 15, 2013 -> 02:02 PM) In that time Viciedo took 1 walk. In the last 6 days, he's taken 5. Hopefully that's a good sign, and will continue.

Viciedo--May 14- May 30, 2012 16 games 64 PA 15 R 28 H 2 2B 8 HR 23 RBI .444/.453/.857 After that...100 games .238/.295/.409 I'm happy he's hot, but I'm hoping for a good June too.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2013 -> 01:52 PM) If there was ever a player that might just pull a Kerry Wood and retire during the season for the Sox, it's Konerko. You have to wonder if he's having any enjoyment playing this year. I still couldn't see that. I think he'll stick it out the whole year.

That was a big AB for PK. That sucks.

Nice, Dunn.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 15, 2013 -> 01:18 PM) It has been my observation his effort has been lacking all season. I could be prejudice due to his results, but it seems many times he's just not into the game. He seems like he's either somewhere else or would like to be. By his own admission his favorite position is "batters box". With that going bad, he probably does want to be somewhere else.

Wonder if that ankle is healed? Didn't see the plays, but maybe that has something to do with it.

This is about that time last year when the Sox went on fire for a couple weeks. Hopefully they can start crushing some mediocre pitching the next few weeks.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 15, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) Elaborate. Axelrod should be a long reliever.

I think the Axelrod/Santiago decision is a pretty easy one.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 15, 2013 -> 12:14 PM) haha. I wanted to say something. But I just said f*** it. I don't get it at all. "The Sox better have X amount of wins by July 8 or else." lol. So who they play and when they play them doesn't matter? Ok, great. Keep living in a fantasy world where the Sox are better than the Tigers and they'll go 13-6 against them after July 8.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 15, 2013 -> 11:51 AM) When they were 17-21 last year, they were in 3rd place 4 1/2 out. They also had a tougher schedule last year, and had played the Tigers 8 games. They were 4-4 against them, and then would go 2-8 the rest of the way. By my calculations for competing, the Sox were 2 games behind where they should have been last year after 37 games. This year, we're 4 games behind where we should be. I'm kind of already booking 8-11 against the Tigers this year as a best case scenario. If you look at it that way, the Sox are 24-32, and they have the rest of the schedule to go 65-39 to finish 89-73. Bleak enough for you?

Hahn was on the Score this morning. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/audio/986-670-...-interviews#986

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20130515 Kannapolis and Birmingham day games.

Rehab assignment starts Saturday for Charlotte. Maybe he and John Danks both get activated for May 24.

Hawk knew when it was over tonight. Progress.
