A-14,950, in case you were wondering.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 10:05 PM) I really hope they don't rush him. Just put a plan in place for him to return in August, and go from there. I'm not expecting much from him this year, but I think they want him back by June. Sounds like more extended spring this Friday, and then maybe a few minor league games, whatever they're allowed before being activated. He'll rush back, and be on the DL again by the break. That's what I'm expecting.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 10:09 PM) I know we talk about DFA'ing people a lot, but I'd love to see the Sox just release Thornton. I had to vent. I realize fat chance that will happen. If he had a monumental bad first half, it could happen.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:48 PM) You responded to my original comment sunshine network...............you added the 7th inning to my comment. OK

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:44 PM) They had the lead I never said 7th inning. Then why did you respond to me saying they haven't lost a game after leading after 7? (please don't respond)

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) Had the lead in Twins game and lost. Not after the 7th inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) Addison Reed has been great this year, so clearly Ventura wanted Thornton to face Cabrera. Paint by numbers managing.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) Sox have led and blown a few wins already. This will be the first time they led after 7 and lost, if they do.

12 out 19 quality starts. And up until the last couple days, the bullpen has been ok. They're getting abused because we can't hit. /season

Thornton had a nice run, but yeah, it's over soon. Good career.

Again, if you're asking your bullpen to grind for 3 innings every day, stuff happens.

I didn't see Gimenez get hit. Was he hurt, or was that just a regular pinch run?

What time do they postpone tomorrow's game? I got 3:30.

Short of a triple play, that's pretty fast from going 1st and 2nd, no out to inning over. What a joke this team is.

Fun bad

WTF

King Felix is getting that elusive 100th win tonight.

It really sucks the bullpen has to grind for three innings now just to get a win. Offense is killing this team.

Nice job by Axelrod.

Rays series looks like we'll see Hellickson, Hernandez, Moore, and Price. Can't wait.

David Purcey has been on a decent run at AAA. Wonder if he could take Veal's spot sometime soon.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 01:53 PM) It's kind of interesting and awesome that Johnson has done better, the higher he has moved up in the system. He was okay in Kanny, he was great in W-S, and now he is dominating in Birmingham. If he can be a solid 3-4 starter for the next five years, I'll take it. Maybe they get even a little more from him. But you got to like his frame. Hopefully he's Floyd with a brain.

Johnson's final line... 7 innings, 3 hits, 0 ER, 1 BB, 10 K 99 pitches, 67 strikes
