Buehrle>Wood

We've only won the monthly award three times in our history with Ross Gload, Gordon, and Alexei each winning once. Anyways there's a good chance from Abreu to win in this month, but the competition and marketability of Tanaka might be too tough. It's a two person race definitely. For reference Semien is second in WAR among the position players and Daniel Webb is second among the pitchers. Abreu is .259/.340/.600/.940. 21 RBIs, 7 hrs, 7 doubles, and 16 runs. Tanaka is 3-0, 2.15 ERA, .82 WHIP, 29.1 IP and 35 Ks. Looking at that, Abreu will probably need a bad start from Tanaka to win in April. Or just keep hitting 450 monster shots every game. Alexei has an outside chance at player of the month if he ends on a hot streak. It'll be tough to be out Trout and Pujols though.

With Gillaspies and Sales situation in flux, this move greatly confuses me.

I feel like I remember a completely different last out in 2005.

Webb for closer. Abreu is powerful. Semien is clutch.

Jesus Christ we are lucky

My god

I love how we're waiting for disaster to happen again before removing Lindstrom from the closer role.

Jesus. Thank god Danks is good

Let's get a run or 5

Webb going to close?

Winder if Thomas will blow up on twitter about that

No pinch runner?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 01:27 AM) He's also got royally screwed more than anyone I've ever seen in a month span on check swings. Yep. It's been amazing really

Did we not send down Leesman today?

Lmfao awesome. He thought no way is Semien swinging 3 1

We made 2 terrible shifts last night that lead to the Tigers big inning.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Why is it so hard for people to accept and understand his role this season? These same people will call him a class act but actually suggest him hanging it up mid season? Understand that he has no role on this team you mean? And you are somehow suggesting hanging it up midseason is somehow the opposite of class?

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 07:38 AM) Anyone know of any ideas for booking cheaper airfare/hotels to Vegas than the typical Priceline, Expedia, etc.? Lasvegas.com and Vegas com but those will probably yield all the same results. I like Kayak the best but again probably same results. I believe Southwest doesn't list their prices on those sites yet is the cheapest from Chicago (other than miserable spirit) so check their site.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 12:11 PM) Mike Schmidt did it -- retired mid-season, saying he just couldn't make the plays that he used to make. There are probably a few others, if you know them, might be interesting to mention them. Kerry Wood. As much as I hate him he went out the best way possible on a bad team. That's why I mentioned the Cubs series next month.

I f***ing hate you Hinrich
