Later guys, John Danks f***ing sucks tonight. What else is on...

im not sure this lineup can score 3 runs

Well this will make it easier to go take a nap, at this rate.

 

Guess Danks was tired of getting screwed over by the offense, hes gonna make sure this one is a no doubter!

It's going to be interesting how teams react against Danks the second time they face him during the year.

Maybe interesting is not the correct word there.

The Tiger hitters are pretty much sitting dead red on fastballs and lighting him up. This might be one of those games where you let Danks embarress himself for the sake of the bullpen.

maybe it's a plus i don't get this game tonight. I'd prolly puke with another start like this.

Turn in your man-card, sir!

 

Actually, the TV is on it here already...

 

You don't need to go to it.

 

It will be of the wife's doing , not mine!

Normally 3 runs isn't too bad, but with this lineup? Might as well be 9-0

Detroit 4-4

I'll be stunned if Danks lasts the entire year with an ERA under 5.75 at home. His command has a long way to go still, which is no shock due to his youth.

Gosh Danks it!

I love how Dye and Thome aren't in the lineup.

I'm more worried about getting 3 outs.

I love how Dye and Thome aren't in the lineup.

 

I love how they're both (minorly) injured.

Please let it rain again. Great call by AJ of calling for a fastball down the plate with an open base on 3-0.

 

 

That's the right idea for tonight...let it open up and postpone this disaster....

Where is Danks' fastball that was supposed to be topping out at 94? If you throw a straight fastball and it doesn't get above 90 MPH, you are gonna get rocked. Example, John Danks. He's gotta get his changeup and breaking ball over the plate for strikes. BTW, the pitch was a cookie and Thames just whiffed.

Danks 94 mph must be at the same place as Masset's 97 mph fastball. Danks is going to have to have good control in order to last in the majors this year, and he doesn't seem to have that right now.

No doubt in my mind, KW is gonna trade for a starter assuming we are still in the race. None of our pitchers our major league ready yet, Danks needed more AAA time, Gio is a year away at least, same with Russell. Broadway wont ever make a start for the Sox.

Don Cooper has got to change up our starter's preparation, as this first inning stuff is very troubling.

I'm not ready to write this one off.

Alright, relatively good job to keep it at 3.

Dont worry guys. 1 less run than yesterday.

At least Massett's fastball has life on it, so he can survive at 94 or 95. But Danks' fastball is just plain straight.

Freddy Garcia won't pitch another game in the majors though, so it's fine we didn't get anyone that can contribute in 2007.

Remember when the Sox used to jump up to early leads? That was much better than this crap.

 

This lineup is really going to struggle to score 4 runs.
