QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 4, 2012 -> 06:11 PM) 26 games in a row to start the season, striking out in each game now for Dunn. The old record was 14 and lasted 49 years. It would have ended in one of one of those 10-3 losses to Boston...Dunn struck out in the 9th. I was all for him getting pinch-hit for there. Just to stop the streak.

Looks like a nice night in Detroit for some baseball...any other Sox news today?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2012 -> 04:54 PM) Santiago should get sent down to start in AAA, as there's no reason to have 4 lefties in your bullpen. This is very true. Don't need Thornton, Sale, Santiago and Ohman all in the bullpen. And now is the time...Matt Thornton has to go. Yankees and Red Sox have never needed bullpen help worse than they do now.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) Well, most importantly, hopefully it's not serious for Sale and he's able to recover. If this ends up being a TJS situation, this organization is completely screwed. I just don't want to think about that possibility right now...it's a "tender" elbow. I don't want us all to worry more than we actually have to... Just don't know what to make of this yet. They're worried enough to yank him from the rotation, but not worried enough to DL him? I just don't know what to think about that...I want to believe that they are just being over-cautious.

What a shocking turn of events. I have no problem with this if the staff had real concerns about his future. No use risking his future if they had ANY doubts about his health.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 4, 2012 -> 10:27 AM) We're going to learn a lot about this team over the next 12 games. 3 at Det 4 at Cle 3 vs KC 2 vs Det It's time to play well in every facet. I would be super happy to finish 7-5 in this stretch.

So many things you point to...this game should have been a win. All those squandered chances in the 7th and 8th. Beckham getting doubled off ending the 8th inning before we could see what DeAza could do with runners at the corners and 2 out...sickening. Danks pitching poorly is one thing, but wake f*** up Gordon. .203 hitters shouldn't have issues like losing track of outs. You should be thankful you're still with the big club. Just so many guys on the team don't seem to get it.

I'd give my girlfriend for bad Chris Perez to show up tonight.

Well that was mammoth...makes the 2-5 homestand hurt all the more.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) Nope, just someone losing track of the outs. The frustrating thing is it will overshadow Escobar with one of the dumbest swings of the season on 2-0. That is really upsetting. Gordon has been known to nod off on the basepaths. He's been picked off a few times over the last few years as well daydreaming.

Fukudome 3 walks and got robbed on another...good game.

But Hawk said Duncan was one of the best fastball hitters in baseball...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) Hell, Javy was never this much of a choke artist. He was too...

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 3, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) Now let's see if Danks can keep it here. He's been especially bad after his team just gets him some runs. f*** you Danks.

Now let's see if Danks can keep it here. He's been especially bad after his team just gets him some runs.

Thought Gordo was about to pull a Lillibridge. Nice job by Escobar getting it down. Let's get at least one fella's.

I hate sac bunts...but now would be a good time for one with Escobar.

What was that...4 pitch inning there?

3 runs feel like 10 right now.

God I hate Masterson.

Couple of gifts there against Choo. Wow.

Damn. Thought it hit Gordon. Could use a baserunner.

4 hits to left-handed batters already. Not good.

This isn't the Masterson that we saw last month. You can tell already.

Well thats super. Danks is just his own worst enemy. Unreal.
