The odd thing is we keep coming inside to their LH hitters when the ump is giving a lot of room on the outer half. See Adam LaRoche's K's.

Both teams are scoring every other inning . This is a no run inning for the Royals

Quintanelli serving up a spicy meatball !

Wish I could figure out how to get that Tyler Flowers and the Sorcerer's Spec's poster on here .

TFLO !! that'll teach em to throw at LaRoche's head !

Takes the voodoo curse off of Q so he gets a win instead of ND.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 05:18 PM) Well the first day of the 2015 HR contest went well. There were 21 participants and 3 pulled ahead on the first day of action with their selection of Jose Abreu. I have attached the leaderboard to this post. Remember you can play at anytime, you don't have to pick everyday and you can start picking at any point during the season. Lets keep the picks coming. GO SOX!!!! Sorry confused. Why 2 points for picking Abreu ? He was only worth 1.

What not to do on opening day : Starting pitching .. bad Relief pitching...bad Defense ...bad Base running ..bad Offense ...bad Managing ... After Abreu walk in 9th why not pinch run for him ??? Getting blown out why risk him on the bases???

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 08:28 AM) Carlos Rodon will have a job by June 1 on this team. It is only a matter of whose job it will be. It isn't hard to squint and see John Danks buried in the bullpen as a long man. Yep, sooner or later the Sox will have to eat some of that contract . I am holding out hope that Danks is playing a bit of possum this spring just fine tuning his mediocrity and not his generosity to other teams.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 07:18 AM) 25.5 M between Ricky Nolasco and Ervin Santana. 10.5 M on Toriiiiiiiiii. Be sure to thank God for Sale, Quintana, and Abreu's contracts every night before bed. And Eaton for that matter if he plays like last year and can stay injury free. But we can say the same about the other names you mentioned also.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 08:04 AM) I saw your response in the other thread, and I just disagree. I'm not gonna get in an argument with you over it. Simply put Caulfield is an intelligent poster and when he stays on topic he is good conversation. When he thinks of 50 different names just to fluff up a post it is annoying and distracts from the post and generates a TL;DR response from me, and I know I am not the only one. That's all I'm gonna say about it Fine then I will have the last say on it. We are all here glorifying athletes as fans . We speak about them all the time. We pay to watch them perform . My god the things people get annoyed about. Chill out. It's only distracting if you let it be. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) All this name dropping bs isn't cute or funny, and adds little to the discussion How is saying the names of others who might be available to replace a guy we think needs replacing adding little to the discussion ? If he had said others are available someone else might ask, like who ? If Caul thinks saying Adam Dunn is funny question his sense of humor ( which you did) but it isn't name dropping .

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 06:05 PM) Jesus Christ Caulfield, you name drop worse than the rapper Game. I fail to understand the rap Caulfield gets for namedropping. One person overstates it then the sheep follow. We are here because of our favorite team which consists of a 40 man roster , numerous players in many levels of minor leagues , plus all coaches and executives on those levels not to mention the possibilities of trades and free agency with 29 others teams who are similarly stocked with players coaches and execs. Most posts are talking about those 1000's of individuals in some way, shape or form. Besides name dropping is an attempt to impress others with a bit of snobbery involved to make yourself appear more important than the next person. Aren't we all mostly talking about the same people usually ? Name dropping isn't just using a lot of different names of players and people we are all here to talk about since we are FANS anyway. It doesn't appear to me that Caulfield does this to impress anyone or feel superior about himself.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Thanks for the TL;DR, I can't bring myself to deal with slideshow articles It is actually pretty good. There's an article for each slide show page covering different parts of the team including possible impact rookies.

Congrats to JB , well deserved , great spring.

Great job, study hard !

Jose " The Beast " Abreu .

Happy 26th Birthday Chris

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Mar 30, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) 80-82 I agree with this. Sox have holes at Catcher, 2B, 3B, RF, and back of rotation. Bullpens are always iffy. I wouldn't be shocked if things go right and they make the playoffs, but as they stand right now 80 wins seems about right. 60W 60 L Record in the other 42 games :25-17 .
