I'm glad I can't watch the game. I'm depressed enough as it is reading the thread. Someone has to get fired, right? Right?

By that time, they might have you committed to the looney bin.

 

Only 1-9 left to go on this road trip and we reach 5-26, and reverse last year's run.

 

YAY!!!!!

 

4-17, 4-17, 4-17....how is it possible with a $128 million dollar payroll in the American League Central?

Terrible unprepared coaching staff.

Ladies and gentlemen...I give you Javy Danks

 

6 innings of 3 run ball with a bunch of terrible defense isn't really comparable to Javy's "one bad pitch" or "one bad inning"

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 4, 2011 -> 01:31 PM)
Danks will be 0-5 by May 4th. If this hold up I would of lost any bet on that.

 

It's their secret internal strategy to keep the amount on his contract extension below $100 million for Danks.

 

Give me Danny Wright or James Baldwin over Danks, they knew how to win. LOL

We can only wish. Instead, we'll get some retread former top prospect. Matt Bush still around? I can't wait for us to also give up our veterans players basically for free as a thank you to them (ie: Thome).

He's been an absolute disaster in the 6th inning this year. If he wants "ace" money, then pitch like one.

Danny Wright? Gag.

oh hawk. still thinks we'll win the division.

 

I guess when you're paycheck comes from the Sox...

Hawk says they will still win the division. :lolhitting

We hit Fun Bad last night.

Yeah, when I started rooting for the no-hitter I knew they had become fun-bad.

 

It's like George Carlin once said, when you view something happening and that part inside you wishes for it to become even worse; that is my angle, here.

 

Every win we have from this point forward hurts us. I just envision JR sitting around looking for any reason not to do anything. "Hey, they won four in a row; lets give them another month." "Hey, their summer schedule is easy and teams have overcome a similar deficit in the standings; lets give them another month."

It's simply not hard to get out of an inning against us

Man, Nick Blackburn is a stud! We are just running in to some good pitching guys, that's all.

 

Brad Penny, Bartolo Colon, Liriano, Blackburn. Nothing you can do about that.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 4, 2011 -> 01:31 PM)
you can send this one to Copperstown

 

another intentional walk that does nothing but give up another run

 

anyone think a legitimate bench coach may help this team

 

 

Copperstown, Beardstown or Cooperstown, this is one game that will drive the youth of today away from the game of baseball in droves if anyone in the world is actually forced to watch it again.

What did he do that was a disaster that inning? He had to go and get 4 outs with zero help defensively including stopping runners from advancing.

Funny that some were actually using that excuse early on.

I agree, it's a QS

Agreed, and something else that bugs me is that if you bring in someone like Dunn, then you might as well try to become the 2010 Blue Jays and have a lineup full of mashers. Have an 7-8-9-1 every game with no power in the AL in our ballpark is just f***ing stupid.

Hey come Ramirez worked the count there and saw 11 pitches.

After Weaver and Haren it was 100% correct.

Someone's getting canned today/tomorrow, it's just going to happen. And it's no one's fault but the players.

This wasn't his worst 6th inning outing, but with an ERA approaching 18 in the 6th inning this year, it would be nice for him to shut down the opposition for once.

2-2-0-0-2-2-2

 

That's the number of runs given up in the 6th in each of Danks' starts. Not sure how many are earned, but that's not Javy-bad.
