Morel is batting 2nd. You gotta be f***ing kidding me. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,3233619.story

If the Sox fall out of it by June, AJ could be in a Rays uniform by the break.

No idea why I feel this way, but I think a walk off win is coming today.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 19, 2012 -> 11:38 AM) Me too. First of all, lineups are usually made a series at a time, so the decision to sit him today was made before last night's performance. Secondly, now he can get on that long plane ride feeling good about his last performance. Last thing you want is for him to go 0-4 today with a few K's and then get on a plane. My thoughts exactly. Hopefully they get this one in today. If not, good chance the Sox will lose an off day, and the Orioles will have to come back on May 31.

Peavy dominant. Beckham 2 hits, RBI Alexei two great plays Dunn bases-clearing double off a lefty AJ continues to mash Good game. Win tomorrow.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) Where did she go? The new Red Sox girl isn't so bad, as brunettes/redheads usually have a way of at least APPEARING to know more of what they're talking about than the Erin Andrews types. Although I really liked Laura Okmin (sp.)? Are we the worst 6-5 or 7-4 team in baseball history? It sort of feels like that. Maybe the Padres a couple of seasons ago. Hazel Mae went back to Toronto where she is from.

Hawk needs to pick a new MLB Network chick now that Hazel Mae is gone. Might I suggest Lauren Shehadi.

Dunn should flip off the crowd now.

Ventura screwed himself there.

It's a Festivus miracle!

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) Pierzynski should DH for Dunn. Day game tomorrow. Probably not happening. Dunn will probably be at 1B.

Tommorow's lineup, please: De Aza, Lillibridge, Dunn, Konerko, Rios, Ramirez, Viciedo, Flowers, Escobar

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 08:00 PM) Mark! has a 6-0 lead on the Cubs. Got a hit too. This will be his first NL win.

Rienzo is off to a good start. Probably should be in AA. 7 innings, 1 run, 9 Ks

^ My guess was one off on the low side. Good question.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 12:50 PM) That's the problem. That is the worst possible approach for where the franchise is at right now. That's your opinion. I like this pitching staff. If the Sox can get to 4-5 runs, they can win games.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 12:37 PM) It has nothing to do with being nice. It is all about finding out who is going to be their players going forward. You don't know that in ten games. In April, I'm in win mode. Forget the "who is in our 2013/2014 plans" stuff. The lineup should be the players that give you the best chance to win today's game. Obviously, you have to give guys a day off here and there, but even after 8-10 games, it's obvious Morel isn't the best option in the 2-spot. When he starts hitting at 8, then you may move him back. But for now, it's a bad move.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 12:17 PM) He said he wasnt going to make major changes anytime soon. Yes, and that's dumb. This is the easiest stretch of schedule out of the 6 months, and he's going to bury the team in the first 40 games because of being too nice.

De Aza 8, Morel 5, Dunn DH, Konerko 3, Pierzynski 2, Rios 9, Fukudome 7, Ramirez 6, Beckham 4 Robin...don't be an idiot. Fukudome should bat 2nd in this lineup. Ramirez 7th and Morel 8th (or even not in the lineup).

Charlotte - Leesman http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...dubaaa_chraaa_1 McPherson-single, 2 walks Danks back striking out. Phegley--Healthy? Good? Birmingham - Bayne http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...biraax_cngaax_1 Winston-Salem - Rienzo (Thompson RBI double) http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...wswafa_myrafa_1 Kannapolis rained out.

Morel .118 Beckham .103 Ok, first thing. No more Morel at 2. Second, they get the next two games and the road trip to Seattle and Oakland. If it's the same old s***, they're in Charlotte on April 26.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 09:57 PM) Hawk really needs to get ahold of himself. Unbelievably unprofessional on that last play as Betemit is simply throwing someone out at first. Routine. I just watched that. What an idiot Hawk is.

38 runs in 10 games. That's about right.
