    Yes. What is your point? I'd rather roll him out to the mound every 5th day instead of Tavarez, Gabbard, or Hansack.

    What a shame. The Rocket sucks. Too bad.
  5. a700hitter
    All of this is unnecessary. What they should do is make a move to bolster the rotation or the bullpen.

    I'm just happy if he didn't injure his finger.

    If they lose Schilling, a team like the Angels would have to win 1 of the first 2 games and then they would have a big advantage against the rest of our rotation.

    This is a slight over reaction. Offenses will slump, especially on the road. The pitching kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win the game even though the offense was flat. My worry is that the continuing forfeit in the 5th rotation spot will start to take its toll on the bullpen and the other starters. If Schilling comes back strong, this should not be a problem, but if he falters and is DL'd again, the pitching will be flawed especially in the playoffs.

    Base Knock by the captain to start the 11th.

    Losing this game is no mystery. We have to get used to giving away a game every 5th day until Schilling comes back or the FO brings in other reinforcements.

    This guy's a beast.

    Now, Lugo needs to steal.

    Need to get the runs in the 8th. Putz will pitch the 9th and he's tough.

    MDC will go down because he's got options. They'll give Timlin more time. I don't think there is much left in the tank, but if there is, he has the experience, professionalism and poise that MDC does not have yet.

    This is just about the time that we started the parade of s*** last year. The danger is that Gabbard has a good start next time out and then has a couple of crappers. Then they try Hansack for a couple and maybe even Lester. Before you know it, the July 31st deadline will pass and then it will become clear that none of our prospects are ready yet and someone else will have scooped up Buehrle. There's no need to panic now, but the FO has to think about fine tuning the team for the playoffs and setting up a strong rotation that can dominate through the post season even if Schilling doesn't make it back. I don't think they should let this chance pass to score a big time pitcher.

    I'm a little worried that the FO waits hoping the price comes down as the deadline approaches. If they do that, they run the risk that the Mets or another team swoops in and does the deal, or even worse, if our 5th guys keep s***ing the bed, the price will go up because they will sense the desperation, especially if Schilling doesn't come back strong.

    We were Ooohin and Ahhing about King Felix and his potential the last time we saw him. Since then he has been injured and very, very human. He's got a long way to go to develop the consistency to be a marquee pitcher. Stuff means nothing at the major league level unless you can develop consistency.
  20. a700hitter
    If the Red Sox medical staff has any question about Schilling's health they should pay the price for Buehrle. We are kidding ourselves to think that a kid with good minor league stats can pitch consistently in a major league rotation. The solution is not Lester either. When he came up last year we had to endure lots of full counts and walks and pitch counts of 100 by the 4th inning. I'd rather not start with the parade of kids and has beens every time the 5th slot comes around. You can't be conceding the 5th spot as a forfeit every time around. Gabbard will probably get another start before they banish him to the minors.
  21. a700hitter
    Meltdown time by Gabbard. He's just killed his trade value.
  22. a700hitter
    Asa the trading deadline approaches, the price will go down. It's in the White Sox best interest to do the deal now. It's in the Red Sox interest to wait.
  23. a700hitter
    Lugo continues to be useless.
  24. a700hitter
    Nice play by Youklis getting the lead runner.
  25. a700hitter
    Three popups in that inning. What is going on?
