QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 06:52 PM) Might not be as high as one would think with many Red Sox fans disgusted with their team at this point, as well as the manager. Brooks is probably already scrambling. What are they going to, turn around in less than one-week and have a Humber Bobblehead, t-shirt, commemorative "no hit" ball or something similar give-away? Don't think they have enough time. But it would be cool if they could pull it off. Next Sunday is BAT DAY I think. They might be able to put together a perfect game poster pretty quick.

So....next Thursday vs Red Sox. What's the attendance going to be? Brooks is probably already scrambling.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 06:35 PM) My mind is completely blanking. How did the ALDS end? Ground ball to Iguchi, over to PK. ALCS--Kotchman, grounder to PK WS- grounder over Jenks...well, you know....

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 06:33 PM) Josh Fields was the 1st baseman for Buehrle's perfecto. I caught it before you posted. A few beverages today.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 06:30 PM) Konerko has ended up with the ball in his glove for the last out for the A.L. Pennant, World Series Championship, a No-Hitter, and now a Perfect Game. 2 perfect games... Alexayyyy....yes....yes...yes....yes... -Hawk (it's all about him) edit: I'm an idiot. That was Fields.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 06:25 PM) In his interview with the MLB network, Humber talked about how Coop taught him the slider that he was using effectively today. As much as I think Coop blows his own horn, he's been the best pitching coach in baseball (or close to it), over the last 10 years. The man knows how to get the most out of each guy he has.

By the way....SI...the White Sox 5th starter just threw a perfect game. 95 losses? Go suck it.

Yeah!!!!! Congratulations Philip Humber!!! Just great today.

Porcelllo gave up 9 runs in 1+ inning in the first 2 innings of a doubleheader. Wear 'em out, Rangers.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 12:28 PM) Enjoying watching the Rangers make prison love to the tigers I was wrong for picking the Angels over the Rangers. That offense can't be stopped. It also brings home how well the Sox pitched there. I'm glad we got it out of the way.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 12:21 PM) How bad do the Red Sox have to get before MLB stops cramming Sawx-Yanks down our throats? I agree. They are getting very close to being irrelevant. I'll give them a break because of injuries, but they really don't have the horses anymore.

De Aza cf Morel 3b Dunn dh Konerko 1b Pierzynski c Rios rf Ramirez ss Viciedo lf Beckham 2b

I still think it should have been Reed from Day 1, but I'm not complaining about Santiago. I'm just glad it wasn't Thornton.

Chris Sale wasn't even that great tonight with location, and he still struck out 11 and came away with a quality start. He's a special talent. Ace. #1 starter talent.

QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 11:45 PM) I know its not easy to fill 3 hours but hawk and stone are boring the s*** out of me this year. They often talk about the same thing two or three days in a row, and say exactly what they said the day before. That's the WGN-effect. When it's national, Hawk gets on his high horse about stuff. He might as well openly campaign to get in the Hall because that's all he cares about.

On a night like tonight, I can't help but think of the dumb f***s that booed Dunn last week. Idiots that didn't see the improvement in spring training I guess.

Not a fan of the gamedays for the minors. Charlotte http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...gwiaaa_chraaa_1 Birmingham http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...msbaax_biraax_1

QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) So there was a 41 ab hitless streak in his first full season. I thought even that part was bull. How many games was it? http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...atting_gamelogs

QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 06:11 PM) Lol. So much drama. The plan is to give the guy a chance to succeed. The 40 ab you proposed is not enough of a chance. The first step would be dropping to 8. If they really want him to start 6-60, then what choice do they have? Just lose with him? At that point, let him go down and figure it out. Now that I've jinxed this sufficiently, he'll go 3-4 tonight.

QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 06:01 PM) Actually it wasn't robins debut and also it wasn't as bad as people have been lead to believe. Its a myth. I think people attribute the myth to hawk. Ventura was 15-65 (.231) in his career when the 0-41 started in his last AB 4-18-90. His AB before the 0-41 started was a HR off Clemens.

QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 05:49 PM) Not a chance we will all agree on anything. And I don't agree with what you said. Id give him much more of a chance than that. Probably at least another 100 ab. Yeah, let's just fall out of it as soon as possible, even with a pitching staff good enough to make the playoffs. Sounds like a plan.

Can we all agree that if Morel goes 2-20 with 10 K's on this roadtrip, he's got to go down?
