April 4Apr 4 Great game to watch. Maybe they won't break their own record for losses this year after all.
April 4Apr 4 Who is up for Grant Taylor to break a major league record??The most games started by a pitcher in a major league season are:Pud Galvin and Will White - both started 75 games in a single season.

April 4Apr 4 Seranthony almost blew that by doing what Sox relievers did so many times last year - walking the lead-off batter in the ninth with a three run lead. A lot of stress watching the last batter with Vlad up next. Would like to see a more dominant Closing performance. Edited April 4Apr 4 by tray

April 5Apr 5 Btw, if Thursday's postponed game was moved to Friday, isn't it strange that the first two series of the season had a scheduled off day between games 1 and 2? What's up with that?

But if they are leaving the starting door open for next season then they'll need to use him in more than one circumstance.Saving him for leverage only would make it hard to get to their innings target.

I'm basically resigned to the fact that Grant isn't gonna start though. I don't think the injury concerns re: his extension have went away.
