I Have Heartburn So Bad It's Coming Out Of My Ears     An enterprising scientist with time on his hands decided to explore the differences in verbosity between the human male and female. I’m not sure

You're thinking "Mercy Rule?"

Can we petition the league to apply the Mercy Rule before games that aren't started by Erv or Berrios so that we don't have to endure games like this one?

the team has announced that ticket holders for today's game can redeem their tickets for another game any time this season.  That would be a nice bonus if you actually stayed.  Free baseball!  

 

I hope steve checks back in an sees that.

Maybe this is the chance for Duffey to throw 4 innings and get himself stretched out to start. Though Santiago will take Turley's spot, so maybe Duffey could take Gibson's spot?

Dillon Gee can opt out of his contract on July 15th if not in the majors. You can bet he will be called up after 1-2 AAA starts, barring injury. Though, to be honest, I don't know why they wouldn't be using him in the majors now.

 

Santiago is also slated to be back and the Twins are saying he is awesome. Take that as you will.

We will never see Turley again.

I was thinking meteor striking the ballpark, but yeah, that would be a form of mercy too.

One is passing close to Earth this Saturday, hopefully Sox are done scoring by then...............

How sad is it that Santiago and his 5.26 ERA looks pretty good right now.

Hey, I was pining for the days of Nick Blackburn a few days ago. He'd look pretty good as 4th starter right now.

I've heard stories of guys literally being pulled out of a crowd or off the street outside a studio, and being asked if they can sing and suddenly fronting a band or recording an album.

 

We got anyone cruising the aisles or the sidewalk outside?

I have to say that I am surprised at how bad Turley has been in his 3 starts. With how many bats he was missing in AA/AAA I thought he'd at least be a guy that would be able to be serviceable. Thought he'd be a guy that has a high K/9, but only go like 5 innings due to BB's and deep counts. But, he isn't even striking guys out.

 

I have missed all of his starts, so I don't know why he's failing. Is it his FB or CB getting destroyed? Location? Everything? How can a guy go from being sooooo dominant in the minors to virtually the opposite in the MLB? Hoping that he can fix whatever it is, and come back up in the bullpen. I just have a gut feeling this guy is going to be a good pro by season end in some role.

While tracking the game on mlb.com you know that you are in bad shape when there are more Game Advisories coach visits to the mound for your team than outs.

Not sure Mr. Turley has either of those pitches.

Sac bunt by the Sox with two on and none out. It was asked in a recent game and I have to ask again: why would an opponent give this bullpen an out?
