Danks only gave up 3 er...thanks to his own terrible defense and breaking to cover home first on the ball he dropped. Poof...all that momentum gone. Awful.

That was over quickly.

Winning....or losing ugly defined this inning.

Danks charged with two errors now.

Should be three errors if you count LaRoche versus Santana and then Danks trying to force an out by throwing to the wrong base.

Farmer saying losing like this adds to the level of "hatefulness" as a player. Except you have to fight back and do something about it.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 3, 2015 -> 01:12 PM) We better hope that the Twins score 10+ off of Danks so the Sox have no choice but to move him. Opposite is true...no choice but to keep him. Flavum was right. Didnt even need to pay attention, except to see what else could possibly go wrong.

Terrible decision-making as usual.

Swihart, Devers, Margot and Owens....throw in Jackie Bradley, Jr.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2015 -> 01:05 PM) Hey, it's awesome we played for one run last inning One run lead so likely to stand up with Danks on the mound.

Play LaRoche at first....Danks is late because he was breaking home assuming he needed to cover because he was used to Abreu not catching it.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 3, 2015 -> 12:16 PM) It feels like we have hit into at least 700 double plays. 702

Don Cooper is magical.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2015 -> 12:06 PM) Will always wonder what his career would have been like without that leg injury. Yep, he was off to such a promising start.

Even DJ readily admits that the play is "sloppy" in all aspects other than the bullpen. Says the White Sox need to back it down and be less aggressive. Meanwhile, the once slow Tigers already have 24-25 stolen bases as part of an effort to get more athletic and better defensively....having added Cespedes, Gose, Rajai Davis, JD Martinez, Kinsler, Iglesias, etc.

Doubt Ventura will say a thing about it. He probably hasnt even heard of Bryan Price.

Another Cub bust will surely save us.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) Woh this is for your Homer Bailey idea, where even the trainer said you were wrong. In an effort not to pay John Danks, you would rather pay Homer Bailey to rehab and then after 2 elbow surgeries and 3 partial seasons, be on the hook to him , a guy who has only posted a WAR above 2.7 once in his career, $63 million for 3 seasons. They probably won't even let you GM a fantasy league. It would be stealimg your money. You're right, because the $28 million in savings I created for Hahn In 2015 and 2016 would just wasted on Melky, LaRoche and Bonifacio buyouts. Oh, and paying Ventura not to manage as well. Greg should be GM and you can be his pitching coach. That would create some cost savings.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2015 -> 09:28 AM) What is the relevance? The same relevance as Gavin Floyd is the new poster child for why TJ surgery is ineffective. Actually, your provided example is much less relevant, because Harvey has more in common with Hoffman, Fedde, Giolito, Matuella, etc., since those pitchers are all quite young and havent had their arms (initially) put back together with screws and bolts.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 3, 2015 -> 08:49 AM) Caulfield nobody is going to take your opinion seriously if you actually thought Manny won that fight. Listen, I grew up with Hagler, Hearns, Macho Camacho, Sugar Ray Leonard. From a technical standpoint, sure. But back in the day, boxers could also fight and vice-versa. They had the ability to do both, and also put on a show for fans who paid good money. Same with Mike Tyson in his prime. In alll honesty, I didnt watch the last six rounds closely because they were so boring. I was taking care of my baby, writing about the Sox game, listening to the Rangers game in extras....perhaps I was rooting more with heart than a rational technical side because I have many friends from the Philippines. Fine...after watching them on replay, i can admit Mayweather's strategy workeed perfectly, he frustrated Manny and wore him down, landed more punches, kept him at bay with his jabs and reach advantage, blah blah blah. I still think it was a lot closer than the judges scored it....and it was terribly disappointing as well. For someone who hasnt watched a full match in a decade, it made me never want to watch again if thats the payoff. Id prefer marquez pacman five but one of tthem would end up dead.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 3, 2015 -> 07:50 AM) I'd settle for a salary dump with La Roche, wouldn't you? If he's not off the books, how can the Sox pursue someone to take his place, for next year? Welcome to Dan Black/Miguel Montero as your DH. Since Wilkins and Viciedo are already gone.

QUOTE (buckweaver @ May 2, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) No one said likely. If you prefer to complain ad infinitum...it's your right. But it's May 2 and the team is four games under. A little frustrating, but it doesn't make me want to chuck the season. And for what it's worth, the sarcasm and negativity toward other posters is why more people don't post more often. It's very simple then. We have the same HOF manager that got us to the playoffs in 1983 and I'll be perfectly content to let the season play out and not feel another year of healthy Sale and Abreu was wasted "doing the right thing" by our manager. If JR wants to run this franchise into the ground out of misguided loyalty, it's his legacy on the line. I personally tend to believe he's a smarter businessperson than that.

Mr. Harvey in NY seemed to survive TJ surgery no worse for wear. Fwiw.
