QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 6, 2013 -> 01:42 AM) you know that won't last I would hope not, as that would be quite the accomplishment

Hard to generate offense when 3 of your first 5 hitters are 1-13 each.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 08:58 PM) There's a lot to like today more so than yesterday. Difficult to separate the things that irritate from the things that may matter. T-Flo Beckham are the things to watch intently, not our fielding. I'm not going to go insane over what thus far is a real small sample size in the field And the bullpen has looked great so far.

Pitched well enough to win, we're going to win all 162 unfortunately. Still major issues with the construction of this lineup against RHP, but at least Flowers is showing he isn't a liability vs RHP so far.

Beckham has reached 4 times as well!!

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 09:54 PM) Maybe break up the over swinging, free swinging cubans in the lineup. 4-41 combined in their career off of Guthrie

Flowers reached based 4 times vs RHP...way to go Tyler!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 09:52 PM) Holland hasn't been throwing strikes. Flowers the only one willing to wait. One of the reasons that Viciedo and Alexei back-to-back is a tough call for Ventura

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 09:49 PM) Viciedo with a very Dunn-esque day. Well done! That has to be a situation where you have Wise hit for him.

This Royals bullpen is pretty fantastic.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) 7 runs in nearly 3 games vs a pretty mediocre KC starting staff is not the start you really want to see. I'm a big believer that this team will struggle against RHP and destroy LHP. With that said, no reason to panic yet as it seems no one is hitting in the cold weather.

Keppinger hit that well or was it a routine 1-3?

stay hot bottom of the order

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) Translation for the unitiated. Fathom says, HSINAR . Hector Santiago is not a reliever. Response was Dylan Axelrod is not a starter.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 08:04 PM) Saturday's pitching matchup makes me laugh, and not in a good way.. Dylan Axelrod vs. Felix Hernandez. Sure that will go well. Seems like Sox have had a lot of success against Felix of late. It's just one game, wouldn't be a bad idea to get some benchers some ABs.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 08:01 PM) awesome. HSINAR

Viciedo is 1-11 with 6 K in his career off of Guthrie. Next time we face him, wouldn't be a bad idea to get Wise in the lineup.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 07:24 PM) I blame this on Ozzie Blah

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 04:38 PM) Ok, so who is this legit broadcasting voice you so desire, that is actually available and would want the job? I think the reality is, when Hawk is gone, he's going to get replaced by a "robotic boring" announcer that couldn't care less about the White Sox, and they may as well have Apple's Siri or Google's Voice broadcast the play by play. Daron Sutton please

Clearly this trade is bogus, as Tampa would have to give up more than that to acquire Sale. I say add Jennings to the package and maybe it could work out.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 12:11 AM) Now comes the horrible Tuesday off-day. So sweet last year not to have that. I understand why, but it's the WORST. Personally, I love it. Nothing like being undefeated for another 40 hours or so. If you lose your first game, then I agree it's horrible.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 11:52 PM) Yeah, the last time that happened on opening day it was f***ing awful for the Sox. I mean, the season even wound up ending with a 1-0 game too! Also the first game after the ASB was 1-0

Great to see Flowers win the game for the team on offense.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 11:52 PM) We never hit well against the Royals. It's never good to only score one run, but I don't think it's a bad sign yet. See balta's post for the joke I intended.

Hell yes, except I worry that winning the opener 1-0 might be a sign of bad things to come.
