QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 11, 2013 -> 07:48 PM) do we even have a backup SS? Beckham? I don't think I saw these types of mental mistakes under Guillen's regime.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 11, 2013 -> 07:01 PM) Jeez Robin, you have got to do something about this stupid play by the team. Might as well give De Aza a pillow and blanket when he falls asleep on the basepaths.

The Sox 10th round draftee,Goldberg from Ohio State signed Sunday night and arrived in Arizona for the Sox mini-camp.Any word on the other draftees? And what is the 'drop-dead' date for signings?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 09:14 PM) Alexei trying to get too fancy again on that DP. Second time this year he was unable to at least get one out on a play like that. Got a bad feeling about this game.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 08:34 PM) Hawk will defend him. If Beckham was playing for Al Lopez,he wouldn't be on the field,but cleaning out his locker going to AAA.Lopez crucified players who made mistakes like that.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 12:07 PM) Not that I like the May pick, you don't know what their plan is. You shouldn't be critical when you know next to nothing about not only the players, but the Sox plans, their agreements with other players, etc. I know you can't post without being critical, but wait til these guys suck in our system for a while before you rip the draft. It's also the end of the line for many farm hands as the Sox sign the draftees and have to make room on the farm clubs.Get cut or promoted.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 12:25 PM) the intangibles is, Boras This is way off topic.I've been a Sox fan since 1951.Living in Vegas I get MLB extra Innings package.But the west coast teams,except Seattle are blacked out in Vegas when the Sox play them regardless where played,the Oakland series is blacked out.I've heard MLB is going to revamp its blackout rules for next year.Does anybody have facts about the changes.Thanks

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2013 -> 07:13 PM) “@CST_soxvan: The Sox' first pick in tomorrow's draft is warming up in the bullpen” So much for gtaway day.They'll be lucky to get home by 6AM.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 5, 2013 -> 06:54 PM) AA- Erik Johnson Anybody got a pitch count for Reed? Anyone in the minors they can bring up for the Oakland series?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 5, 2013 -> 06:35 PM) Who do the Sox have left in the bullpen? Win or lose this series has burned up the bullpen.A sweep or series win by Oakland is a strong possibility.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 5, 2013 -> 03:57 PM) Good play. Terrible ABs Whatever happened to pitch recognition?Seems the hitters are being taught to anticipate a certain pitch depending on the count.And of course they're continually guessing wrong.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 10:18 PM) Last 9-game losing streak was August, 1991. And that wasn't a bad team. Won 87 games with a 2-15 stretch. I remember that the team tanked right after the all-star game.Started when Sox traded Kittle to Baltimore.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) This conversation going on right now between Hawk and Stoney re: hitting coaches and teaching "one method" is a far cry and away ahead of the snooze fest going on in the Seattle TV booth as we speak. Watching MLB Extra Innings from Vegas.Have the sound off.Seattle announcers just plain annoying.But A's games in Chicago will be blacked out here this weekend.Dont know who has rights to Vegas market.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2013 -> 03:28 PM) No. Our bench is one of the worst benches in Sox history IMO. Let's face it, Robin was a candidate for manager of the century a few games ago when we hit .500. Now we're about to go three under .500 which is more like it with this collection of whiffle ball bat hitters. Our bench in 2011 got all of one pinch hit.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 30, 2013 -> 02:42 PM) Jordan Danks please. Viciendo has been a complete liability since he came back from the DL.This entire team needs a make-over.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2013 -> 01:38 PM) So much for Peavy the ace. Yeah, he's been good in April and May again...but that style of pitching doesn't work as well during the summer months when the ball's jumping like it is today. This game is Ova!!!

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 30, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) Absolutely. This team has the fire of a 100 game loser.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 19, 2013 -> 04:46 PM) Must be nice to have a CF not daydreaming all the time and making plays. Wonder how much more 1-8 series by Flowers will Hahn and Ventura put up with.Guy is a certified rally killer.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 17, 2013 -> 11:08 PM) That was a terrible at bat by Flowers Flowers hasn't seen a 58 footer that he's not willing to swing at.Terrible.Need to give him a map to Charlotte.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ May 17, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) PK tough luck. Robbed of his 2nd hit. Watching the Angels feed.Beginning to think it's on a time delay.Seems it's taking 45-60 seconds between batters for all tyes of PSA's,mini-commercials,garbage talk.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) DeAza is taking the "bonehead" plays title away from Ramirez. Well, at least DeAza made a decent defensive play there in CF. Nice catch on the liner. Angels' announcers were convinced after the first inning that Sale was vulnerable compared to Sunday night. Haha. Angel announcer 'still one nothing Tigers'. Huh

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 16, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) Paulie, buddy, old friend. Please turn this s*** around. Angels announcers said Paulie has been dealing with back problems all season long.First time I've heard that.
