QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) Danks is just awful tonight. Just a matter of time for Orioles to break this game open if he continues to have zero command. for as good of a pitcher as he is, he really has terrible control

Danks really is a 5 inning pitcher. He may not make it 5 tonight.

Nice.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Cleveland isn't going to trade Sizemore if they're in contention. Check out Ryan Dempster's line tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Cleveland isn't going to trade Sizemore if they're in contention. Depends on what they can get. I like Jeff Gray by the way.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) wouldn't this be a good time to get Thornton an inning? No this pathetic as s*** offense may get going when they get home. The weather is supposed to be nice so maybe they will score.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 09:04 PM) Harry, why do you say Sizemore will get traded? Becasue they are rebuilding and he will get them some nice pieces. Hanging in there is not going to draw back fans they need to rebuild and if he gets healthy he will help them rebuild. They may win the NL Central by default but the Angels, Rangers, Yanks, will mop them up like they do to the Twins every year.

Also I was almost spot on in the CC prediction thread

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) I know Gray isn't the most talented guy but his mound presense is pretty good, he looks really calm out there like he doesn't give a f*** if you ask me, put him in Pena's place and use Pena if we're down 8 or something after 7 innings I really think Pena is DFA'd tomorrow or traded to St. Louis for a PTBNL Give someone in AAA or AA with some sort of potential a chance to mop up games.

Bright Side Twins are slumping just as bad and have played more at home Detroit not doing anything special Dempster just got his tits lit up by the D'Backs Sizemore will be traded

At least Gray is giving them innings something that worthless piece of s*** pena could not do. What a worthless f***. I know hindsight is 20/20 but Lance Berkman over Dunn would have been nice.

What does White Sox advance scouting do? Gardner is having about as good a season as Morel, Beckham, and Rios and he is having a nice little series.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) Not often you see a team with 3 players that need to get benched (Rios, Beckham, Morel). That goes along with Pierre and Dunn being non contributors this year also. I've really never seen an offense struggle this badly. Put Lillibridge in CF Teahen at third Omar at 2B call up Viciedo and put him in left leave it that way for the weekend Do something, anything.

I actually think a couple of moves with the lineup would do wonders but oz will not do anything.

During the game tomorrow, how many times will Hawk b**** about what time the flight came in. Baltimore is in Boston tonight they will be in late as well.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) Oh no!!! Pena is hurt! 2011 = OVER What ad ouchebag asshat he really should be sent away somewhere.

What exactly to they think Pena has that is keeping him on this team? This is almost as bad as thinking Adam Archaletta could play.

Did they just intentionally walk someone down 6-0? They have scored 8 runs in the last six games who is making these decisions?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 07:51 PM) Let Pena give up 10 runs here and hopefully be sent off to the Newark Bears. Pena and Morel better not be Chicago tomorrow evening. The offense did nothing to win either of these games so while winning two games is nice the really is nothing good happening with this team right now.

Gardner, really. Well the Yankee Sunday line-up about to put his one out of reach although I think 2-0 was pretty much insurmountable. Jackson ERA getting closer to Buehrle's

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 07:25 PM) kitties swept by the lowly mariners -- tells you how bad we've been playing. look, no one expects the Sox to play this bad for much longer. you're starting to see some signs that the worm is turning. I'm excited about the starting pitching, for one thing. And it seems the pen is bouncing back from its woes. Just have to ride out this f***ing infuriating offensive drought. This is the exact same thing we have seen in previous years. Pitching to contact with s***ty defense and giving away at-bats is something that is the norm. Remember a couple of weeks ago when the talk was how the Sox are not giving away at-bats. Now it seems that they are giving away a couple every inning. There is no intensity with this team. They should be winning games on talent alone. Eventually we have to question whether the talent is really there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 07:21 PM) You should have heard MLB Network raving about Orlando Cabrera last night saying how he's a winner. Unfortunately, Joe Cowley was unavailable to comment. Their commentary was good but I thought it was a little overblown. They are not that good but the AL Central is brutal. .500 may win the division.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 07:17 PM) The Indians suck and you're delusional if you think they'll keep it up and be healthy. Oh and they can't pitch for s***. Their pen is intriguing to me. and who in the AL Central is going to challenge them at this point. Brad Penny came down to earth.

The last three hitters saw a combined four pitches. That plan works very well. At least they will make it official before the rain hits. Baseball stupid at its best.

At least Dunn put the ball in play.
