Tigers have called up Bruce Rondon.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 12:09 PM) No way this happens btw. Well, yeah. That's why this slow start basically has ended their season before May.

Yeah, we're pretty much at the mercy of what we're seeing until mid-June. They either turn it around fast, or just stop watching.

If you know how much snow Minneapolis got, this is pretty impressive... https://twitter.com/Twins/status/326722935836520448/photo/1

If the Sox go 42-26 from here to July 8, all is forgiven. You can't count on them being a second half team playing the Tigers 19 times the final 75 games. That's why this slow start is important, and it does matter.

Rongey caller saying Hawkins should come up. Talk about not knowing what's going on. wow.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 10:27 PM) YIKES Heading toward 1998-1999. Hey, they made their bed.

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.
