Frazier and Abreu will hit some home runs. Nice job, Frazier.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) Danks has several games like this every year. He also has several quality starts per year. That's why he's a #5. Yet, many folks here seem to think that he's supposed to pitch like Sale just because it's Opening Day. You don't need to convince Greg. I love him. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) A dude with a 98 mph fastball? No, a lefthanded specialist.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 10:35 PM) Nah, this is the last year of Danks contract. There's no "well what about next year??" anymore; the Sox can drop him out of the rotation no problem. They're gonna pay him anyways. We know the fans despise him with the exception of a couple of us. So Hahn should please the fans then and turn him into Matt Thornton.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) If I never see Danks again................. I will be happy Too many dollar$ make$ that impossible.

If we win 2 of 3 this series we'll all be very happy.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:39 PM) Why is everyone s***ting on Danks? He should be out of the inning with only 1 earned run, the defense screwed him there. I still like Danks. I don't like games played with the shadows now all over the field.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 08:34 PM) "If you're against my bill that's helped expand mass incarceration of non-violent criminals, you support giving crack to 13 year olds and having them commit a murder!" --a good, coherent response to protesters. Bill won't take any flak for what he said. It's already been given its stamp of approval by the media. What's so bad about Bill pointing out it's not cool for the fact a lot of black drug dealers/thugs, etc., are killing blacks. What happened at Missouri was criminal with some rich kid pretending to be on a hunger strike when he was a millionaire's kid stirring up trouble. Kudos to Obama for his answer to protestors furious he picked a "white guy" for supreme court justice. Obama laughed and said, "yeah he's a white guy; he just happens to be a great jurist." Obama gets it. Some of the zealots do NOT get it. Obama and Bill Clinton have been doing some cool stuff lately. Hillary ... not so much. Trump not so much ... Cruz not so much ... Bernie not so much .... Kasich, so much! He's acceptable.

I love how Bill won't apologize. Another good soundbite today. I also like the way he's taken on the Black Lives Matter group. http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/08/politics/bil...tter/index.html

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) I actually agree with you. I really enjoyed his sound clip. Made me forget how if he were running I'd be voting for him right now. Me too. I'd vote for him over this current crop of candidates without a doubt. He's kind of like Trump in terms of cutting to the chase, but more reasonable. He didn't take any s*** from the protestors. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) probably an issue with women in power Not really. I'd vote for a woman but frankly she'd have to be the polar opposite of Hillary. Pretty much everything I despise in politics is Hillary Clinton. Bill however ... give 'em hell, Bill!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 06:26 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 41m41 minutes ago #WhiteSox for 4/8: Eaton 9, Rollins 6, Abreu 3, Frazier 5, Cabrera 7, Garcia DH, Lawrie 4, Avila 2, Jackson 8. Danks 1. Why not Melky No. 2? He's got no power and if he has to play, the 2 hole seems perfect as he proved yesterday. I'd rather have Rollins ninth.

Bill Clinton was awesome today handling these rude protestors. http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/07/politics/bil...ters/index.html I don't know how I can like Bill so much and totally despise his wife so much, but that's where I stand. You tell em Mr. Clinton!!!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:47 PM) Let's take 2/3 from Cleveland to make us 5-2. I was thinking the same thing. Great win today. The starting pitching has been amazing. Hope my boy, John Danks, keeps the positive mo-jo going. I love taking 3-4 on the road from Oakland; 2-2 would have been acceptable even. For those who never give Robin credit: How bout giving him credit for moving Melky up to No. 2 and helping him get out of his slump? The way it turned out I doubt any of us would mind Melky giving it a shot in the two hole during the Cleveland series. Seems like he doesn't have a lot of power anymore, maybe the 2 hole is the spot for him to move runners.

Lambo isn't Rambo. Get him out.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) So f***ing frustrating to have RV pulling the strings. What about the 0-for-4 stat?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) 0 for 4. Don't think it's relevant. Interesting. I betcha he quotes that stat when the writers ask him for his reasoning after the victory.

When is Joe Morgan gonna call our bullpen the best in baseball again? He loves him some Sox bullpen.

Anybody know Duke's career stats vs. Valencia? Robin musta had a reason.

Hawk being nice to Stoney today. He may be looking forward to his weekend off.

Navarro could lose 10 pounds.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:21 PM) Enjoy this for now...we get Captain Meatball with Danks next game Danks is a good No. 5 starter. Don't blame him for accepting all that money.

Cheers to Latos. Have 3-5 postgame beers on the flight home. You done for the day. Good job.

Good read by Avi.

Good job by Lawrie again.

That's the kind of offense you want from 2-3 hitters. Hawk with the bad call again.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) Gotta love game threads, all the people on the menstruation cycles rear their ugly heads. You can't say that at a Donald Trump rally. You'd get punched.
