He's on the 7 day DL now. I knew something was up with him. His command was off last yr, but not by that much. Give him a f***ing month, no point in rushing.

Nobody seems to want to believe that the last thing that comes back is command. Wainwright averaged 90.7mph in his solid 2010 campaign. He isnt a velocity freak, he's a stuff and command guy. DiceK isnt a velo freak either, so it takes time to come back.

I have a feeling the sox will activate and promote him ceremonially at some point in the next few seasons and get him a single AB.

I watched the replay. I was dealing with the ballsweat of society on Friday the 13th in the pit, so I couldnt weight in yesterday. The way he looked coming off the field looked actually less like a dislocation and more like a subluxation. A subluxation is where the humeral head shifts out of the glenoid but pops right back in. A dislocation is where the humeral head pops out and stays out. He was walking off the field, but you couldnt see a deformity to his shoulder and he was able to hold his hand across his chest, which is something you almost cannot physically do if the shoulder is indeed still dislocated. Any subluxation or dislocation entails injury to the shoulder capsule. It's his non-throwing shoulder, so that shouldnt be a huge problem. The issue he will run into is if there is significant damage to the labrum or the cuff. It remains to be seen how damaged those are. If his cuff is shredded or his labrum significantly torn, then he is likely out for the season. Based on what I saw on the replay, I would have to say that is less likely since, as I said before, it looked like his shoulder was in as he was exiting the field. You are probably looking at best case, 6 weeks.

Should they be proud that they've kept the same stadium since 1912? Should they be happy that they are forcing larger people (taller and heavier) to fit into seats built for 5"5" 130lb people? Should they be happy that some of their seats are obstructed, hence you cannot see s***, but still charge an arm and a leg for the experience? They are gonna milk this, but they've seriously f***ed the fans. I have seen multiple games at Fenway and have even played there and have been in the lockerrooms. I had nicer locker rooms in college playing at a field where a Red Sox affiliate plays. And the stands were nicer. After seeing games in the old Yankee Stadium and then seeing a game at the new Yankee Stadium, I cannot think of a better way to reward the fans of the sox. Give them a new stadium.

Banuelos threw up another stinker as well. Interesting to see how he plays out. Scouts at the game said his velo and stuff were there, but he was missing with everything.

iortiz, I love that some of your English sayings are just a little off. They are pretty funny. It's a good barometer, but keep on keeping on man. I would certainly make an ass out of myself if I posted en espanol.

BTW, the schedule this month is brutal. 23 games, 3 vs the Rays, 3 vs the Angels, 3 vs the Sox, 3 vs the Rangers, 3 vs the Tigers. 15 of 23 games vs contenders out of the gate

As an outsider, the sox fans were always insufferable from April through August, then turned into Chicken Little's come Sept 1. By October 1, the sox fans would be in their "wait till next yr" mantra. 2004 changed the sox fans, but not immeasurably. I remember being on another board for the 2005 season and people weren't pissed or upset about not winning it all. 2006, they got a little perturbed. But 2007 changed EVERYTHING. Win it once, and be happy. Win it twice and expect to win every yr. That is when it went from being a singular life changing experience to "We're a dynasty, we are gonna win it every yr!!" 2004 made people happy. 2007 made people impatient and expectant

ARod. I think he's still a good player, but I despise him.

At least we entered the event. And 2009 isnt too far into the distant past when we partied all the way through October! BTW, was just looking through some stats. The Yankee pen has been on point thus far. 2.11ERA 21.1IP 33K 11BB 1.22WHIP 14K/9IP. We obviously cannot continue to use the pen at this rate, but as CC and Kuroda go deeper into games, we should see them continue to dominate. I hope Phelps continues to stay in his role. I like his attitude and his stuff

And did I mention, YANKEES WIN, THAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!!!

Our 6 games in a nutshell Game 1- Mo blows it Game 2- Kuroda sucks, Girardi gives up, Yankees come back but not far enough Game 3- Handled by Hellickson Game 4- Nova owns, Yankees roll Game 5- Bullpen throws 7.1IP scoreless, offense just good enough Game 6- CC serviceable, pen shutdown again, offense comes through in the 10th.

f*** YEAH BITCHES!!! 6-4 Swishalishous!!!

You'd kill to have him on your team. It is April. His hallmark is giving innings and showing good location. He has shown solid stuff as evidenced by his 15K's in 12IP, but his location has been off. Walks and pitches into the middle of the plate. This wouldnt be his first s***** April with the team and it likely wont be his last.

Leaking priviledged medical information is a crime. The Red Sox organization can be prosecuted on the whole for leaking that. It'd be a token fine as punishment, but it would be proof of shady management nonetheless.

Francona has 2 replaced knees. Pretty easy to get hooked on narcs after having 2 knee replacements. Those hurt for a long time and typically need pain killers long term

On a bad note, Betances got owned. I hope this is his last hiccup, cause if he continues to post gem-s***-gem-s***, he's gonna end up in the pen

You will get through May before the sox ever think about benching him for Middlebrooks.

Yep, I believe that was 8 yrs ago and one guy from the 2004 team is on the current one

2-0 without an out. Ooooh yeah!!

extras. Now maybe we wont run ourselves out of the game.
