April 13, 201411 yr I don't believe it, I was in the process of slitting my wrists. Way to go Alexei!!!
April 13, 201411 yr The will of this team is awesome!! Play until the final out. Just have to fix this damn bullpen and the 5th starter
April 13, 201411 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 06:30 PM) More wins against the Indians this year than we had all of last year. Just about to say it.

April 13, 201411 yr QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 06:34 PM) 4 and 5. Paulino and Johnson haven't been good Johnson has been better then Paulino and would like to give him more starts before thinking he is horrible. He is a top 100 prospect for a reason, I just hope he finds it soon and at least gives us 6+ innings every time out.
April 13, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) It'll get lost, but Quintana is a stud. Yes he is better days for Q wins wise are coming soon.

He and Johnson have been bad but Johnson's young I can deal with it. I'd rather have Rienzo than Paulino to be honest

April 13, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) It'll get lost, but Quintana is a stud. I've loved Quintana from day one. We got 2 awesome lefties. Danks is a decent 4. Need to sign or find a good RHP and hope Johnson develops into a solid 5.
April 13, 201411 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 06:46 PM) You don't like Peavy or just want the Sox to win? It's not that I don't like Peavy, but I never thought of him as a true Sox player. Same as Rios. Just something not there for me.

April 13, 201411 yr I will say that as much as Hawk annoys me now a days, I definitely missed him on the walk off call.
April 13, 201411 yr Despite giving up only one earned run in 9 innings, we're last in the AL in ERA at 5.48. That said, almost every regular other than Semien and DeAza is around or above an 800 OPS. It's a fun, exciting but exasperating team to watch. You know they're going to be scrambling all season to figure out what to do at the back end of the bullpen. It's a nice problem to have...in the sense that we didn't even think having a reliable closer would have mattered all that much a couple of weeks ago. Now we're only 1/2 game back of the Tigers, and it's important enough to care about. That's something...baseball matters again, a young team winning games and building their confidence and picking each other up (Garcia injury, bullpen and starting issues galore) matters, too. HOPEFULLY, Webb is the answer...or Cleto. It should be Webb eventually, because Cleto's control is just too spotty and unpredictable to be able to rely on him, but those two have definitely pitched the best. I have no clue what's going to happen with Downs and Veal. They look close to hopeless now. And yes, I do realize we were 26-26 or whatever at the end of May in 2013. But this team has a much more hopeful/positive/upbeat feeling. It's a young team, not one weighed down by so many veterans going through the motions and moping about their business.
