The first step would be dropping to 8. If they really want him to start 6-60, then what choice do they have? Just lose with him? At that point, let him go down and figure it out.

 

Now that I've jinxed this sufficiently, he'll go 3-4 tonight.

I agree with that. Until he shows something, he should be batting close to last.

 

3-4? Let's hope so.

So there was a 41 ab hitless streak in his first full season. I thought even that part was bull. How many games was it?

Ventura was 15-65 (.231) in his career when the 0-41 started in his last AB 4-18-90. His AB before the 0-41 started was a HR off Clemens.

 

Thanks.

 

So I guess he bottomed out around .142 near the end of April.

I am so incredibly bored at work right now. I wish this friggen game was on.

I'll be at the game....GO SOX!!!!

I'll be there Sunday? How about you?

Pot jokes on 4/20

 

Actually, the Sox have quite the smokey team name-wise.

 

Besides the obvious Danks and our colorman, the Stone Pony:

 

Is there a stonier band than Floyd?

 

"Ventura Highway" by America is a bit organic - "Chewing on a piece of grass..."

 

Oh,man I must be wasted, I'm Jones 'n for a Twinkie

 

Sorry fellas.

 

 

Man I never liked late starts.

Late starts are great here in China, 10 am on Saturday morning.

 

But tmrw will suck, the game time is 4 a.m. here. Maybe I'll wake up early Sunday and catch the tail end of it, since I probably won't be missing much of an offensive display or excitement the first 6 innings or so.

 

 

Looking at batters 4-5-6-7 in our line-up, we actually look like a halfway decent offense.

Great approach by DeAza to start the game.

 

Let's get him over, please. Or a steal, but no CS.

 

 

Team 8/12 stealing now.

 

Brent at least battled there and didn't give in...still fouling everything to the right hand side.

Decent swing form by Brent but his timing isn't there.

Good long AB here.

DeAza singled? Sorry just turned it on.

 

Good AB by Brent.

ADAM DUNN!

That's two huge doubles that Dunn has gone with and flipped down the LF line this week.

 

Great to see.

Adam Dunn ladies and gentlemen....WOOOOOOOO

 

Tough luck there for Konerko. Need to score at least one of these runners.

Love when Dunn uses left field

Getting great at-bats this inning...Noesi's working so slowly, already at 30 pitches.

 

Just can't give them a DP ball, Alex.

 

Good swing there, Rios.

 

Has had very strong results against SEA.

 

 

 

CHW are 16-3 against SEA since 2010, 7-2 last year.

 

Could have been a bigger lead, but that's the best series of at-bats from Sox hitters in a while. Made Noesi throw 38 pitches.

 

 

Dunn now leading the team with 6 doubles. A lot of those will be homers when the weather heats up.

Settle down, Hawk

Hawk is such a homer

Ugh, make the play Alexei. Top of the 1st saw a lot of great at bats, very promising.

Give it right back, why not..

Give it right back, why not..

How was that not an error on Alexei? De Aza plays far too deep.

What is Lexi's problem? This game will be tied after one at this rate.

I think we always have a team of mental midgets.

2-0 lead means nothing. Give it right back.
