Buehrle>Wood

...can he pitch, say, Wednesday? Is that even 15 days?

What's wrong with the hire? Don't know anything about him other than the resume. D2 national champion. Hiring d2 coaches is sort of unprecedented but if you just think of as a longtime assistant, which he was, I don't see the problem.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) Don't look now but the lineup is out and it features Beckham in #2 hole and Semien batting last. Not sure I like either there but someone has to bat there. It does probably indicate Ventura likes Beckham better than Semien.

Regarding Illinois, yeah I've posted about them forever but I was certainly more defensive (passive is probably the better word here) about Weber/Zook compared to the rest of you guys so I'm not sure where that comes in. I'm wait and see on Groce. This year was ultimately disappointing but the previous one was better so it balances out for me. Beckman I've seen enough to decide that he should have been gone. Not only are we not competing, we haven't even looked closed to doing so for the most part. Well, we've had this same argument a million times; you know my stance. I'm rooting for the team to succeed. I go down to the games and enjoy myself. I wouldn't do that if I wished them to lose. Hopefully they make it a lot more enjoyable to make that trip, and soon.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 05:57 PM) That's not really the point. The next time you post something positive it will be the first time. About Beckman? Probably right. There has been next to nothing in two years that has been anything positive to post about unfortunately. Do you truly believe I'd root against my own teams to justify my soxtalk.com posts? I like you Krush but not that much. There's one other guy who I can think of that matched my dislike of Beckman. Now I have 0 problem being wrong and rooting him on since he's found some success. He plays catcher for the Sox. If Beckman goes out and wins like he's supposed to I will do the same of course. I'm offering my opinion. Not being a guy of any sort. There's no reason to offer a positive opinion over a negative one if it's flawed just for the sake a posting style.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) And I agree with this, if we have 4 or less wins it's an immediate fire. 5 wins and he's probably safe, but has zero wiggle room. Have you seen our schedule yet this year? It's not our typically tough non con. He should have to go bowling this year since we are spotted 3 wins.

We've won 1 Big Ten game in 2 years. It's pretty easy to be negative. We have fans of other programs on the previous page saying the same things as me. It's just how we are looked at, for good reason. It's not really negativity though. It's just realistic.

The White Sox bar is nice though might be expensive if you're there all day.

Wouldn't be surprised to lose on rookie and win on player. His average/OBP might be a little low though.

I don't want him sent down if it's for Axelrod.

Starting Axelrod will surely kill every bit of momentum we have had this season. Not really but still

I do?

Carroll is the man

Nice call ump

f*** I jinxed him

He's not a coward and attacks the zone unlike everyone else we acquire so can't complain.

Looks like half the crowd is Carrolls family

Did you guys know Abreu has the April rookie hr record?

Wake up Eaton

He gets the ball over the plate. Pretty much all fastballs but that breaking ball was pretty sick on the K.

Damn that was nasty

Thanks again kirk.

Get Hinrich the f*** out

That's a bad call

How is Hinrich in the nba yet I'm not
