this would be some kind of game to win

One thing's for sure, the Tigers are beating up the best team in baseball coming into this week and the Royals are looking tough, too.

 

OTOH, Chris Sale hasn't been up to his 2012 standard, Dunn has been terrible until recently, Viciedo/Beckham/Keppinger/Floyd injured, and the worst-case scenario is we're 3 1/2 games behind KC and 2 1/2 behind the Tigers.

 

That said, the next week is going to be really tough and being 5-6 GB the first week of May usually spells trouble, unless it's 2010, 2003 or 1983.

We're now on to player #30 on the roster, and that's with 2 guys day to day as well.

 

The best way to help this bench would be to hire Jesus and have him wave some hands over people.

The Angels would never let him go.

Herm needs to gain weight again.

Rios was simply outgunned there.

You're saying Ozzie's Santeria animal sacrifices didn't work?

Rios now 1-8 with 7 K in his career off of Moore.

Can't hurt at this point.

More hitting there with RISP.

 

Just what we needed...for Alex Rios to come back to earth. Dunn might be hitting, but Rios and Konerko aren't threats right now, so there's always something going awry with this line-up. Too many holes up and down to get runs consistently. Certainly not against elite pitchers.

 

 

Rios 2 for last 22...Sox need him to get back on track to salvage some of these games coming up.

does the Erik Johnson era begin?

Outside of Moore he's still making solid contact, just having his BABIP even out.

I know we just won 3 in a row, but this has the makings of a very long season...

 

It's just as likely we'll be right back at five games under facing Price and Darvish the next two.

Knowing the Sox, it will be someone like Jason Berken.

Doubtful, as they seem to be stretching Santiago out tonight.

It will be Jim Gallagher probably :)

Hawk and Stone pretty jovial with each other of what I've seen this year so far.

I'm afraid you're right. Rather see Johnson.

The Bulls win makes this not so bad. Plus Moore may just be the best pitcher in either league right now, so there's that...

Which is probably the right decision. I'd like Johnson to get more minor league seasoning. He's only pitched 31.0 innings at AA thus far.

Johnson's not ready yet.

 

If they're really out of the division in the middle of the summer and the games are no longer as meaningful, then you can bring him up and given him starts the finally 2-3 months and set up things for 2013.

 

Granted, it would be more FUN for us to watch anyone not named Floyd in the rotation, but that's not the criteria Hahn and Bell will choose to go with.

 

Atta boy Donnie!

Donnie Veal isn't very good.

Coming back to win last night was huge. Like I said earlier, just win one of the next two and be content with it. Sox very well may be facing 3 of the top 4 Cy Young candidates this year.
