This has been fun!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2013 -> 12:48 AM) What an offensive juggernaut. 2 hitters in the lineup batting over .257, and 4 under .195 at the moment. I miss steroids in the game of baseball.

Corpseball baby! What a heartless effort, these guys must have 9PM dinner reservations.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2013 -> 01:43 AM) Not looking forward to the day we swap Boozer for Taj Taj has been awful the last two days, but Thibs cannot have a lineup out there without Noah or Nate in the game.

Keppinger likely has the worst WAR in all of baseball after today...might be time to bat him 9th in the order instead of in front of 3/4/5.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2013 -> 12:29 AM) Trayce Thompson > Chris Carter Um, no

Watching on mlb.com replay, could/should Rios have caught Cain's triple?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 5, 2013 -> 12:28 AM) And Dylan has almost turned in a quality start. Yep, he's one of the few on the roster overachieving so far this year. He's been great as a 5th starter.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2013 -> 01:25 AM) More their minor league system....but honestly, I'd rather watch C. Carter in LF with DeAza in CF than seeing Wise/Danks/Tekotte, etc. Viciedo is better than Carter, and he'll be in LF soon hopefully.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 5, 2013 -> 01:12 AM) The Tigers are on their way to mid to high 90's wins. The Sox goal, and the rest of the division's goal should be 89 wins and ignore standings. Yep, if anything, it's more likely the Sox would be rooting for the Tigers to win games during the 2nd half of the year to knock teams down in the WC standings.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2013 -> 12:00 AM) Great, Beck has given up two homers and 4 hits in 2 innings. Sheesh. Sean Coyle's had a fantastic season so far for Salem.

Rios' average is free falling, yikes. Also, isn't it about time to shake things up and move Keppinger from the 2nd spot against righties? Gillaspie batting 2nd makes way too much sense.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2013 -> 12:59 AM) I'm surprised Paulie appears to have less power. Why, this isn't a decade ago where players magically gained power in their mid-to-late 30s.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 4, 2013 -> 11:54 PM) Quit asking to play LF, dumbass I just get the feeling he's going to end up with another organization before the start of next season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2013 -> 11:48 PM) If we don't stay within 5-6 games back, the casual Sox fans are going to start losing whatever interest they had on Opening Day. The interest in Chicago is gone for both baseball teams already. The only things getting covered in the press are the Bulls, Blackhawks and Wrigley renovations.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2013 -> 12:31 AM) Not sure if I'm buying this, especially if it is time to start assuming Hosmer/Moustakas just aren't going to the be the players KC hoped they would be. Perez hasn't taken the offensive step forward they hoped for either. This Royals team is better than the Sox in nearly every aspect, even if Hosmer and Moustakas are struggling.

With the Mets being rained out today, the Sox will now have to face Matt Harvey next week. The breaks keep on coming!

Non-Sox, but Appel is pitching on espnu right now. He looks fantastic.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 4, 2013 -> 03:06 AM) Bassitt quietly having a hell of a season. If the numbers are accurate, he's dominated righties this year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2013 -> 01:46 AM) How has that been quiet? People here have been asking if he could replace flowers since ST I think In the daily minor league game threads, you rarely see people recapping his games.

Quietly, Phegley's having a heck of a season

If Danks can't consistently pitch in the 90s, then he's going to have to reinvent his style of pitching. He's never had the type of control that made you think he could be successful as a finesse pitcher. I'll be very happy/pleasantly surprised if he can get his ERA in the 4.25 range or lower again.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 3, 2013 -> 04:52 PM) If Jay Cutler were doing this, I don't think it'd be safe for him to show his face in public or even leave his house. If Jay Cutler cheated on his ACT to get into Vandy, the Chicago media/public would have never forgiven him.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 3, 2013 -> 03:44 AM) This is where that depth comes in handy Yep

That stinks, thanks for the memories Gavin. Thankfully they don't have additional years locked up in him. It's Santiago time for sure.
