Yeah, I'm thinking that Jesse, when/if he's ready, will be replacing the worst of Albers, Guerra, or Putnam - I'll guess Albers.
Albers actually hasn't been that bad when he has been given the opportunities.

Petricka will be up as soon as tomorrow, perhaps. I thought he'd be the one replacing Drabek.
That is what I thought as well. Whether it is Petricka or Crain replacing Drabek, it's a major upgrade either way.

A relatively important game for the seasonal outlook, given the calendar.
Agreed. A 3-2 road trip against the Indians and Tigers wouldn't be too shabby, especially considering how the Sox started the season.
Hopefully the Sox can hit Greene as well as they hit Sanchez today.
I also think a key to the game is to have Q attack hitters early and often... No more 3-2 counts.
Samardzija vs Price
It should be a good game if Samardzija has his good stuff going. Does anyone know why there has been so many day games to start the season? I almost always miss day games during the week for one reason or another.
Go Sox!

Eaton may be he dumbest baseball player to ever roam the earth. Crashing into the wall on a ball that was not catchable last year was my first indication, getting thrown out at home to end a game you are 6 runs down in was another and today is just icing on the cake.
Cabreara is not doing the things he was brought in to do but then eaton is not helping him
Abreu looks a 20 year old that is mystified by the breaking pitch
Garcia better have some reason why he could not bat today.
The offense really should have pounded the ball yesterday and then today after bauer left.
Again this team was not ready for the season to start and still is not.
Absolutely perfect post. Nothing else really has to be said.

How stupid is that coin noise when the indians score
The constant drumming bugs me more personally.

Cabrera at least made solid contact....Jose Ramirez is just a beast at SS.
Along with Iglesias, Escobar and Santana, four nice-looking young talents in the AL Central.
That's true. Even if that would've been a hit, chances are that Abreu and LaRoche wouldn't have driven him in anyway.
