I think Morel can handle the 2-hole. He should get that chance.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 03:28 PM) Viciedo Ks on a pitch about a foot out of the strike zone. Brutal With 1st and 3rd, no out, no less. Beckham pulls an RBI single.

Buehrle gave up 2 runs after three pitches but ended up with a pretty good outing against the Tigers today. 6 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 5 K 7.30 ERA

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 10:16 AM) Is today D1's last pre-season warmup? No. That would be Saturday vs Colorado. Opening Day is Friday, April 6. Starting today, each pitcher has two more starts, but Peavy is facing a minor league team tomorrow. Stewart is facing the Indians tomorrow.

This game will be on MLBN tomorrow morning at 8am. If anything interesting happens today, DVR it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 09:12 AM) So, for being on a 17 month break, I expected a little more out of Mad Men. It was ok, but certainly not worth the excitement leading up to its return. Yeah, I agree with this. I was waiting for a signature moment during this episode...especially for being a 2 hour show. They've set some things up for the season. Don is happy, and that can't last. Pete vs Roger. My guess is Don won't be married much longer.

Personally, I think Bruney and Santiago have already locked up spots. As was pointed out Quintana and Heath have already been cut. It's one spot for Stults, Axelrod, Stewart, or Jones. I'll go with the longshot, Stults.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 03:51 PM) What about Blackhawks ? I think the last time I watched the Hawks was when Kane put the puck in the net in Philadelphia and everyone was looking around like "what happened?". Just not my bag. Didn't grow up watching hockey. So Humber looked good today. Escobar 3 more hits but his arm is suspect. I'm starting to dig this Sox team. 12 days until opening day.

3 @ TEX 2-1 3 @ CLE 2-1 3 VS. DET 2-1 4 VS. BALT 3-1 3 @ SEA 1-2 3 @ OAK 2-1 4 VS. BOS 2-2 14-9

Sox lineup vs. SF: De Aza CF Lillibridge 3B Dunn DH Konerko 1B AJ C Rios RF Viciedo LF Beckham 2B Escobar SS Humber P Play golf Watch Golf Watch Sox Mad Men There's your Sunday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 06:01 PM) I thought we were playing in Arlington. Do we have an exhibition game against the Astros before that, haven't looked at the schedule? Yes, the Sox play in Houston on April 3rd and 4th. They're setting the roster before they leave.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 05:53 PM) Molina. I was thinking more about the position players, but yes he'll be there.

Good job by Bruney and Ohman. Sox win. Now 9-12. Plane to Houston in 9 days.

2 hits for Saladino. Birmingham may have some things to look forward to...Mitchell, Wilkins, Saladino...who else?

Bruney ERA at 0.87. I think he's earned it, and it's really down to one spot for Stults, Axelrod, Stewart, or Jones.

Braun hitting .095.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) Interesting lineup. Is this a split squad game? Or did the rest of the team take the day off for some golf? A lot of them played the night game last night, or went to Tucson yesterday. Good day to give some guys some rest.

Cool... http://twitter.com/#!/rickygervais/sta...599830218715138

Greg Paiml was traded to the Braves this morning. Didn't do too much at Birmingham the last couple years.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 11:17 AM) Whos this Sanchez guy, and Gimenez(sp?) that played yesterday....I try to keep up with the minors but these 2 names arent ringing a bell. Sanchez is Carlos Sanchez. He's from minor league camp. Hector Gimenez is still in major league camp. He's been pretty good, and he has major league experience.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 11:01 AM) No DH but Viciedo at DH. Huh? Missed that. I had the Brewers lineup before the Sox. I guess the Brewers are choosing not to use a DH.

On 670AM at 3pm. Interactive after the 5th or 6th inning. Mitchell RF Morel 3B Fukudome LF Ramirez SS Viciedo DH Flowers C McPherson 1B Jor. Danks CF Sanchez 2B Sale P Brewers lineup:Weeks 2B, Gomez CF, Braun LF, Ramirez 3B, Gamel 1B, Gonzalez SS, Kottaras C, Aoki RF, Wolf P

6th inning after 3 hours, and they have a game tonight back in Glendale (this game is in Tucson). Who's managing tonight?

4-2 LA, top 5. Axelrod 4IP, 10 hits, 2 walks Not going to cut it. If Stults continues to be good, they may have to carry four lefties in the pen. I guess if Thornton ends up being the closer, it may not matter.

So much for a good start for Axelrod... triple, double, double
