Micah Johnson--25 bags.

Viciedo's rehab has to wait another day. Rain.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) We did have a two run homer stolen. And the Royals shouldn't have scored in the 1st inning. Umps sucked.

Mad Men off and running after last night's episode. Very good.

Peavy scheduled to start Wednesday. We'll see. http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/

Nice to see Sanchez, Thompson, and Walker over the Mendoza Line. Keep moving forward now.

When it's not an obvious intentional walk situation, it always seems to bite teams when they walk a guy when they don't have to.

Royals 17-10 at the one month point. Next 27 is pretty tough: 1 vs Sox 3 at Bal 3 vs NYY 3 at LAA 3 at Oak 3 at Hou 4 vs LAA 4 at/vs StL 3 at Tex

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2013 -> 05:10 PM) I wonder if Ventura is going to call these guys out for this s***. If there was ever a time...well that was a while ago. But now, yes.

I'm glad these assholes have to stay another night in KC instead of having a day off in NYC.

Watch a pass ball or wild pitch end this.

Omo was terrible at Charlotte. This thing is probably over. Which is ok by me.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2013 -> 04:30 PM) And amnesty Danks That too. It's going to suck if the best you can hope from him is 5th starter production for 3.5 years.

The Sox are just stuck until they get Dunn off the payroll. They don't need to do a Cubs/Marlins/Astros break down. They just need to get these contracts off the books and get better players for shorter term deals while they develop their own (or hope to develop their own).

As the kids say... whatevs

The Sox are just a team filling out other teams' schedules. They may win. They may lose. It just doesn't matter. Irrelevant team. So don't sweat this. Because it doesn't matter.

Humber vs Verlander And in the most unsurprising development, Prince Fielder hit a 2-run homer in the first inning.

Roy Halladay at the end?

Buddy Bell is on the Score. Said Hawkins will get checked out in Chicago this week. Expected to be 3-4 week injury.

Sale starting Monday They could probably go Santiago on Tuesday, and Erik Johnson on Wednesday. But guess what? They're expecting rain on Wednesday in New York. Keeps getting better.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) So stupid, just call up someone instead of piling on the pitches for Santiago. I wonder if that's just something they're saying until they actually have to make a decision--which could still be a minor leaguer. Although I don't know who would be on target to start-- maybe Jason Berken gets a spot start.

Doesn't sound like Peavy is likely to pitch Monday. Ventura said something like he'll have to have a real good day on Sunday. Considering he's probably going to be on the trade market in a couple months, I bet they hold off until New York or even next weekend.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 4, 2013 -> 08:27 PM) Lots of doom and gloom about losing to a guy who hasn't lost for 16 starts following a series win against Texas, a better team than the one we're playing now. I'm going to let things play out. My heart is telling me to give it more time. My brain is telling me the Sox are just short on talent and too banged up.

It would be interesting to see the Sox in the spoiler role against the Royals the last four games of the season.

Simon Castro threw 7 shutout innings for Charlotte. 2 hits, 0 bb, 6 k. Tigers and Sox AAA teams are both 8-21. Killin' it.
