QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) Let's see more out of Humber...to me, he's a greater concern than Sale, who I think ends up being our best SP... He is already. I'm optimistic about Humber. I think he'll be one of the better 5th starters in the AL. 190 innings. 17-19 quality starts. I could see that.

Cordero will end up closing before long.

Sale's got that ace feel.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 07:53 PM) I seriously love Paul Konerko. if he ever plays for another team, it'll be a damn shame. It would be great if he hit 500 homers in a Sox uniform, at which point I would campaign for him personally to go to the Hall of Fame. The question is, will he play that long? Probably not.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 07:35 PM) That kid is way too old to be sitting on his dad's lap. Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. How about the chick over the third base dugout with the forehead...or something.

Looks like the rain is moving out of Arlington. Should be ok.

Jhan Marinez 5 outs, 5 K's Golson 3 doubles

Nice to see the Mitchell triple was off Danny Hultzen, a fine lefty prospect. Wilkins 3-run homer...I tell you what, Stone Pony.

Tigers with a 4-spot in the 1st inning. Good lord.

Mayo jar gets Buehrle... http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/eye-on-b...-to-your-health

Not going to lie...I wish we got the first crack at Darvish. That said, go Sox. This would be a nice win on the road against a good team.

RIP Mike Wallace.

4 AL teams 0-2: Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, and Indians. I'll take it.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:29 PM) Yeah but when? When he warming up tonight? Probably 10-14 days ago.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:27 PM) OK, then was Robin trying to protect Santiago from the media? Guess I am trying to figure out why Robin or Cooper (or anybody) didn't reveal it (if they knew). Just to make it more dramatic? Ventura not into drama from what I see. I think your first thought is correct. Media asking him questions leading up to opening day.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) Definitely not. Beckham would have missed it by at least a foot. That play by Alexei was tremendous. Agreed. Beckham would have "olayed" that thing.

Santiago knew. No question.

Fun is winning and winning is fun.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 06:01 PM) It's game 2 of the season. Viciedo isn't going to play all 162. I don't have any problem with letting him sit tonight. That's the point. Vs a lefty. If they wanted to get Lillibridge in a game, 2nd or 3rd would have been the way to go.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 05:57 PM) Seriously, Viciedo not playing is ridiculous. (Assuming he's not injured). Unless he's injured, it comes off like they're hiding something off the field.

Some good things for Danks and Axelrod. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...noraaa_chraaa_1

2 hours before game time, and no word on Viciedo. Shouldn't there be a reason for the changed lineup?

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 04:59 PM) Everybody freaking out about the Tigers on the THIRD day of the season...just let the season play out. It's two freakin' games in. The Sox were 2-0 last year and looked unstoppable. It's gonna wear us out enough just worrying about the Sox this season...let alone having panic attacks every time a Detroit player hits a home run. OMG they're gonna be 2-0 at home. Big whoop. Nobody is freaking out, chief. Well, you are. But that's about it.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 04:52 PM) We are two games into the season. Just a tad early to start talking playoff scenarios. Says you. If fangraphs, SI, and every random blogger can have projections and opinions, so can I.

Braves with 2 runs vs the Mets in two games. Who is their hitting coach, again?
