Rays/Royals got 3.5 innings in. Now comes a loooooong delay.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) There goes his future conversion to being a pitcher Left shoulder. He's still got the backup plan.

Shoulder strain. Will be evaluated in NC and later Chicago.

Good win. Hope Peavy shows up tomorrow.

Nice start for Arroyo. Also good to see DeMichele get a few knocks.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2013 -> 08:22 PM) I'm sure there will be an article next week saying he had a great batting practice session and has figured things out. Merkin's already working on it.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 1, 2013 -> 06:03 PM) Need to start climbing out of AL Central basement. Gotta get to .500 first. If they get to 27-27 at the 1/3 mark of the season, that would be a good goal/accomplishment. 17-12 the next 29, and be fully healthy the rest of the season. Oh and start hitting better. And fielding better. And not have the bullpen walk so many guys.

Royals may get weathered out the next three days. I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox were playing a doubleheader on Sunday or Monday.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ May 1, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) Would anyone prefer Purcey to Heath? I prefer Ommogross to Heath but now that both are up Heath seems pretty useless. Purcey has a 3.29 ERA with 14 K's, 4 BB in 13.2 innings. Take away his innings against Norfolk and he has a 0.00 ERA, 13 K's, 2 BBs in 10.2 innings. I know it's just AAA stats but in any case, Purcey (lefty) > Heath (righty). That move may be around the corner. Maybe they feel like more righties in the pen match up better against the Rangers. I can't see them going with just one lefty in the pen for too long.

You know your team is in trouble when you make seven roster moves in the first month. Not that this wasn't overdue. Unfortunately Omo had a rough April too.

They needed 50 wins by July 8. The only thing that's changed is one of the rain out games will be played after July 8. 49-38 on July 8 or bust. That means they have to go 39-23 starting today. Good luck, and hurry back Danks, Floyd, Viciedo, and Beckham. And since there is no catch-all, I'll put this here...the Sox may be seeing really bad weather Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Hopefully they get the game in Thursday night. Then they may be landing in snow in KC Friday morning. I doubt they'll play Friday. Then Saturday still looks rainy in KC. Crazy year.

48 hours from now, it'll be in the 40's and possibly raining in Arlington. KC looks cold and rainy too Friday and Saturday. Bad year for weather.

Welcome to the suck fest, Casper.

And another Tigers quality start. If they get their bullpen figured out, 100 wins isn't out of the question.

Great start for Cose--7 inn, 1 hit, 1 bb, 6 k

Digging Semien's season so far. 2-4, 2 BB

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 05:06 PM) They're the weakest basically every year. It's never too early to make that prediction. All divisions are weak. And pointless.

Danks will start for Birmingham on Thursday at 7:05.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 04:46 PM) Well if you're going "on pace" every other division leader would be on pace to finish with a better record than KC. And some of the second and third place teams would as well since they all have better records than most AL Central teams. It's just very early to know that the AL central will be considered weak. There may be three weak teams, but two 90 game winners. These are the standings I look at until mid-August when the unbalanced schedule kicks in. http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/group/5
