elrockinMT Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 John Danks goes for the Sox against Diamond I think. Any bets on how many home runs Danks gives up today? The game is on WGN at Noon MDT. I will be there rooting for the Sox behind the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why will you be behind and not in front of the big screen. Gorgeous day here in the big city, if not swamped at worked would love to head on out to the ole ballpark.

This is the year he gets in innings and gets his strength back. Everyone had this reaction, though slightly less so, with Peavy. No one should have expected Danks to be good this year. Next year is when, if, he'll be his old self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John coming off shoulder surgery and maybe the arm strength just isn't there yet but judging by his ability at times to recover I think he is close. I have heard that it takes at least a year or year and a half to be at full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only happened 3 times in franchise history 1932 - 49-102 1948 - 51-101 1970 - 56-106 So, at the very least, this can't be the worst team in franchise history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a bad game other than the offense again couldn't click when needed and Danks got roughed up early. He impressed though after the first couple innings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved/hated that season. I'll tell ya one thing, you could get real good seats, no problem. Total attendance for the year was under 500,000.

Dick Allen Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) 33rd 1 run loss. If they could somehow build a decent offense and shore up the defense next year, they can play meaningful games.
