Also.... Not Winning that last game of the Tigers series... Today Sox lose, Tigers win.

Robin can bring all the attitude adjustments to the clubhouse in the world, but it can't make up for the fact that this roster has some abysmal black holes and players not fit for a major league roster. Just hope Floyd and Peavy and Thornton can pitch their way to some awesome prospects and that Kenny can actually make a deal that acquires them haha

Well that was a fun week of getting kind of excited about the Sox. Back to a painful and frustrating development year... And with Beckham and Morel it's gonna be a tough one. Youch...

3 pitch K coming right up....

Who know's if he even is anymore, but Santiago has got to be/used to be the fastest working Closer in baseball. Just got it and threw it.

The Honeymoon with Santiago is already over haha

What exactly is Phegley's defense like. Literally all I know about him is that he was on the Dl a lot for some weird/rare blood disease... Hoping he's healthy now cause AJ is batting his way out of town right now haha

"There's not a whole bunch wrong with his swing" REALLY HAWK? It's just his approach? It's EVERYTHING..

Ramirez in the 2-hole. It's worked in the past for him...

Gordo and Brent's defense is the only thing keeping them in the line-up at this point. Absolutely ZERO clue at the dish...

Painful to watch...

Markakis vs. The Sox is always scary...

A laugher would e good. The Sox and Baltimore the last 5+ years seems to always turn disastrous for our boys....

So basically we need like, an arrest warrant or some kind of racist rant from Rios to get him to be released. I think he's too lazy to pull either off....

I'm actually kinda serious. As we learned from the Marlins debacle, most MLB teams have more money then they're willing to disclose publicly. Obviously the Sox intend on paying Rios his $$$ for the rest of his contract. There's no doubt in my mind that the Sox could spare another 500K (or whatever league minimun is) to call up a Jordan Danks, or Tyler Kuhn etc. if they were to give Rios his release due to performance issues. You know a trade will net you nothing and you're gonna have to pay most of his salary anyway, just let him go if he continues to suck (haha, yeah, if...) I know I'm not at all an expert of MLB finances, but there has got to be a scenario where this is somewhat possible. The only thing keeping it from happening is either foolish pride on KW's part or just a blind faith that somehow Rios will become a productive major leaguer in a Sox uniform.

Give Rios his unconditional release and eat the contract haha. Platoon Fukudome and Lillibridge. No doubt they'd be able to match his production combined.

Mitchell looking to have a breakout season for sure. Two Triples in 35 AB's makes one believe his ankle is fully healed. Hawk put a hex on Andy Wilkins haha So both Ravelo and Sanchez just have ZERO power right?

s***, forgot to get my customary line in after a Detroit win.... Jose Valverde is a real piece of s***

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 02:47 PM) I'd like to see Tank moved up in the lineup. I think you mean "Tanks"...

Absolutely HATE. HATE. HATE. winning the first two games and losing the last. Even if it's a series win, somehow doesnt feel like it. They need to rock Baltimore tomorrow, get the bad taste out of their mouths...

Laird killing the Sox today...

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 01:42 PM) Yeah, why waste another reliever. This game could also possibly go into extras. Don't understand that move. Stewart can go more than one inning. lol.

SHOCKING...

Alright Brent... Nice and easy. No first pitch swinging...

Cabrera playing solid D at third makes me hate him even more than I already do haha
