OM god. What heat!

My god, what great pitching by Thornton there. Overpowering.

Through eight innings Kenny has to be so happy. We still have hit two homers, great pitching and no problems on defense. So far so good. This is what home openers are supposed to be like.

That should be huge for Rios. New beginning. He should feel great about that blast.

Is Bill Melton a good announcer? He was a good hitter back in the day.

Would be nice to shut these guys out. Great opener so far, White Sox. Impressive.

Nice to see Putz going after the hitters.

Geez, Grudzelanek (sp) is still in baseball? Finishing his career with KC, then the woeful Indians. Wow. Beats working for a living.

They do suck but they might as well be nice on Opening Day.

I think it's dumb to be talking about Andrew Jones being available to pinch hit there. That's stupid. We're winning 4-0 and it's early in the game and you don't yank starters that early.

OK. I can buy that argument, Bolt. A little lofted fly ball woulda been nice.

Too early in the game to be yanking veteran players.

I don't know what you mean by approach, Thunder. He was going against a lefty and making contact.

Oops I jinxed Mark. A DP ain't so good, but it is 5-0.

Not a bad at bat whatever happens.

Cmon, Mark. Base knock.

Great smash hit to right! Glad that was no web gem. Carlos gets hit again!

Mark's hustle just to go get that ball was amazing.

Is anybody's mlb.com not working so well today?

Typical corporate America. They spend zillions on effective ad campaigns, get a great one, then some people that have too much time on their hands decide, "You know what ... we're only known for that duck. Get rid of it." Real smart. Somebody's gonna get fired over that one me thinks. GO SOX!

Every teacher in chicagoland should make the detention kids write that on the blackboard 1000 times. It is true.

That's pretty telling that you said KW made a face when asked about Maggs n steroids. The current Maggs is so skinny. I loved him as a Sox; it's been a while so now I'm totally neutral on him. I don't think we should boo any ex-Sox, however.

I think we proved last year it doesn't always matter who you play, it's how we play each series. We need to beat the Indians, Royals and Tigers like crazy and compete like hell against the Twinks.

Not to pile on, but my gosh, do you know what you are talking about? Jones was a DH for the Rangers and not just because he was a fat pig. I mean he may have trimmed down some, but ... I can't wait for the real season to begin when we can see what our new guys are really capable of and not just be talking about acquisitions who always look better in the offseason on paper. I'm hoping they all do well (my cop out line that Rongey effectively called us out on) but my god ... Jones cannot play the outfield better than Rios.

I thought somebody just said our outfield is great with Pierre, Jones, Quentin.
