QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:57 AM) Other than emotional attachment, which is understandable, there would be no reason to not be on board. PK is not 28. He's 35. He will not be with this team by the time they're ready to compete again. If you could get some legitimate assets, you do it. And he deserves to play for a winner anyway because he's so god-like. He's 36. I love what PK is about, but there's really nobody on this roster that I'd cry over if they moved them. Obviously, guys like Reed and Sale aren't going to be moved. But they need to move on without Kenny Williams, get some new thoughts in there, and let the bad contracts die off without handing out new bad contracts (see: Danks, John).

It looks like they're giving Beckham one last shot at the 2-spot. Might as well.

I don't even want to watch this one. I'll check at 9:30 and hope Danks did well, but I can't sit and wacth him get torched while Masterson shuts out our crap offense.

Quintana's player page has a nice video package from yesterday if you missed it. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/playe...l='ALL' I mentioned it yesterday, but he reminds me of Wilson Alvarez in his delivery. Very smooth. I hope he gets back up here real soon. Wonder what happened with him and the Yankees org?

Danks will stop the bleeding tomorrow. :eyeroll:

QUOTE (Jake @ May 7, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) What the hell is going on with Thornton? He never used to miss over the plate like this. Jim never had a second cup of coffee.

It's possible Thornton is just getting older. Thank god Kenny gave a reliever in his mid-30s a 4 year deal for a mediocre-to-bad team.

Watch it go 14 innings of painful baseball.

Ugh

I'll allow Hawk one Don't Stop Now Boys at this time.

My bad.

Joe Smith will face Beckham.

10 minutes

7 walks for Petricka. Back where you came from, son. Leyson Septimo is quietly having a good year in AAA. Another lefty arm. Can't have enough.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 7, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) What sucks is there was no reason for this game to be a day/night DH. The 2nd game should have started 1/2 hour after the first one ended. For crappy-drawing teams like the Indians, especially in April and May, you'd think they would do that. Good teams, I get why they do day/night. That said, if this was a straight doubleheader, it would have started at 3 or 4 central, and we'd be in the same place anyway.

Rongey is taking some great calls.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 7, 2012 -> 08:25 PM) Is it too early to question Molina as a top of the rotation prospect? Absolutely not. He's a back of the rotation starter, at best. I'm not complaining about that trade though. Nothing wrong with getting a guy that's a solid 4th or 5th starter. The problem is Chris Sale could have been a #1, and they're choosing to use him as a reliever because his elbow hurts. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2012 -> 08:16 PM) No, and for the love of Sale, please let them tank now instead of after the deadline (if they're going to fall completely out of it). No more baseball purgatory. I agree. No teases. No hope. Just get it over with. Make trades. And hopefully Kenny moves on after the season.

So if the Sox fall to 13-17 tonight, I pose this question... Will the Sox ever see .500 again this season?

Would a rain delay here force a suspended game? Or would that be it?

Wonder how we won't score here....

Dylan Bundy got 3 more innings for Delmarva. 1 unearned run. 1 hit, 0 walks, 8 k's.

Hawk kinda being a dick to Stults. 6 innings/2 runs? I'll take that all day everyday from a spot starter. f***ing offense is brutal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2012 -> 07:45 PM) Hoping this is just a 1 day callup. That would be good. Maybe a good thing he got killed tonight, and send him right back.

Did Hawk just pull a Bill Melton with Quintana?
