Buehrle>Wood

Wish I could go tonight. There's really nothing better than going up to the stadium club with bulls/bears/hawks on TV and watching the sox below. That said I'll watch the sox on TV tonight

Gordon

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 07:07 PM) Who is the poster that loved him? Ultimate Champion

Did everyone in charge somehow miss him pitch vs us?

No reason to make anything official until after Saturdays game.

You don't run from a female cop like he did either. Or else they will make to find you.

People always remember that Felix Diaz start vs the Cubs. I'm not sure why exactly. He wasn't particularly great. 6 IP, 3er. Okay. He did beat Zambrano who was an absolute beast that year, I guess that's where it comes from. But he also had a s***ty start vs the Cubs as well.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) Leesman is the obvious one I wish we could send him down again

Very true. I have the hundred million parking tickets to prove that

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 02:32 AM) I got busted in college, but let's not kid ourselves. Campus cops especially in "southern" towns are a bit racist. It says nothing about the campus or students. Cops are pricks. That seems like a generalization. Heck I thought the stereotype went the other way with "southern" towns and athletes.

No one asking the million dollar question for who? Probably Gillaspies to DL. But I do not know. We probably won't find out until Saturday.

They bust the under ragers every weekend now unfortunately. White or black, it's a good source of income. Bardo tries to hard. He basically goes out of his way to bash Illinois to try and pretend he's partial or something and comes out sounding like an idiot.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 09:08 PM) So he is the tallest midget in the room.................congrats. Yes. Which is why he should close instead of the bizarro long man spot he's in.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) Webb to be the closer talk should die down now another walk scores. He's still our best reliever. This is really his first bad outing. Compare that to our other key relievers who have had, well, you know. I'll take Webb as closer over the other options any day.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:59 PM) I think the only way anyone would risk PHing for Gordon right now is if Konerko is ready to take over 2b. Leury could do it but he's literally the only backup for what, 6 positions right now? Yep. That's why having PK there and/or not DLing Connor kills us. We're playing with a 22 or 23 man roster practically.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:58 PM) Or just not having Gordon on the roster. That too.

I wish we pinch hit for Gordon. That would probably take not having a mascot on the bench though and not f***ing up our DL issue which is too much to ask I guess.

Beckham

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 04:04 PM) Updated lineup has Beckham at 2b and Semien at 3b I assume Beckham is not batting third.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) Garcia plays 5 positions. He's an elite IF. He steals bases. Versatility. Someone should probably tell him that then. We have too many infielders as is. We need OF depth. We have an elite fielder in Danks so he certainly makes more sense for us.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) Jesus. What's so funny? Garcia terribad. Can't hit worth a lick and Danks is better in the field. His one asset is his speed but is prone to some De Aza moments. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Danks will go down before Leury. You are right about that.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) Doesn't Garcia play OF? Send down Jordan Danks if that's the case. But Danks is better and more deserving of a roster spot.

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.
