This game is showing that we need 5th starter...

He's 30, and JM will leave him in for 5 innings or 27 runs, whichever comes first.

talk about taking the wind out of the sails. We are cruising along and then Mike Porzio. He gets demoted tonight.

Put money down that Detroit wins tonight. we look bad so far. But its early, and the sox can still come back.

top of 3rd:

Perez- groundout to 1st

Baldelli- HR to center

Huff- groundout to pitcher

Hall- pop up to 2nd

4-0 bad guys. bottom of 3rd coming up

There is a HUGE dropoff of talent between our top 4 pitchers, and the black hole 5th spot...there HAS to be someone out there that can at least be an innings eater, ERA about 4.5, that can keep us in games.

30 holy sit, we should have brought up Ryan Kohlmeyer. (Same guy only younger) 30 My god what is he doing a crash davis thing.

Put money down that Detroit wins tonight.  we look bad so far.  But its early, and the sox can still come back.

It's already 3-0 to DET in top of 3rd...

Felix Diaz...thats the guy who should get the next chance...he's earned it imo

Jose swings at the dirt and pops the b**** up.

 

One down.

Gaadammit....we are popping up EVERYTHING...quit trying to get one up in the wind.

Damn, Bell has thrown 14 strikes and 15 balls, yet still getting us out. WTF!!

Pop up machine Crede does his job

 

2 down

This guys are swinging too early look at Bell's stats, 17 BB and 16 Ks.

Why don't we make Bell pitch, he's not hitting spots. If we'd be patient, then we might have drawn a few walks by now.

Who smells a rally in the 5th inning. I just have a feeling. Well get our first hit in the bottom of the 4th.

 

Checking scores, cleve beating minn 4-2

 

Detroit still beating Kc. Of course

bottom of 3rd:

Valentin- popup

Crede- popup

Alomar- popup

WTF! can we stop popping the ball up, and get a hit.

we are makingthis guy look great, 4th inning already, no hits, and we are down 4. Porzio is done, demoted after the game. keep bringing guys up and trying them.

Lead off double.......by Travis Lee in the top of the 4th

T. Lee gets his 2nd double. Porzio is just leaving his pitches right over the plate.

Whites warming. Get him in there quick.

Is there a rule against taking Porzio out? Glover and Koch are well rested.

This is ugly..but I got faith. Get White in there and then lets get the sox offense rolling. They need to get patient, wait for the right pitches and they'll start hitting bell.

nice play Crede!!

what a dud of a game. Porzio took the air right out of the team.
