If that was a suicide squeeze instead of a safety squeeze it would ve worked,

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) He was out. His hand came off of the base. I think you're right . Even when the Sox have a steal they don't have a steal.

Q must be pinching himself thinking it's all just a dream. To all you dudes who were preparing for the worst talking sweep for the Rangers all i can say is

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 05:23 AM) I have a bad feeling about this series. Hopefully they prove me wrong. If I had a buck for every wrong good or bad feeling on this board of the 10 years I've been here, I'd be rich .

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 5m5 minutes ago Chicago, IL But Quintana is 0-1, 5.82 ERA (11 ER/17 IP) in his last three starts against the Rangers dating back to 2013. On the flip side he has a 1.84 ERA dating back to last September, his last 8 starts. Only Arrieta,Kershaw and Strasburg has been better in that time span.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 09:54 AM) Jose Abreu walked a ton in Cuba. Now supposedly he swings at everything. OBP in lower leagues can be deceiving. If they aren't throwing someone anywhere near close, it's easy to walk a lot. If it's just off the plate or the guy can be attacked by better pitching, sometimes those numbers drop big time. Tyler Flowers was an OB machine in the minor leagues. I don't know if this guy is any good or not, but I would take his walk totals with a grain of salt unless you have actually seen him play or read a legitimate scouting report. Yep , it's a lot easier to gauge that junk Cuban pitchers throw than the best pitchers in the world with the hottest lava and Thor's hammer.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) I love the way Panik plays He definitely earned himself more playing time with his performance last night.

Mike Milbury who's been criticized for controversial comments in the past, took a pot shiot at Pat Foley complaints about late game starting times.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) TVR and Seabrook haven't exactly played that well this series.But basically I think Quenville is being out coached.Blues seem to know the Hawks system very well intercepting a lot of passes thrown around the boards and gumming up the neutral zone when the Hawks look for the long pass. Need some Panarin/Kane magic to survive. Asked for magic and got it.

Kaner !!!!!!!!

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 10:17 PM) How the heck did they win the whole thing last year playing 4 defensemen for every game?

How the heck are the Hawks going to win this game playing 5 D men going into a 2nd OT . Blues always skating the puck in while Hawks seem to play dump and chase without the chase.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 05:17 PM) I can think of one team who recently came into extra payroll flexibility, attracts Cubans, and needs immediate offensive help. Sox have been shut out of the Cuban market since Abreu became a star. Dodgers and Red Sox basically threw money at them left and right and priced the Sox out of the market. Don't get your hopes up.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) I can't believe a Q team is 2nd in the league in bench minors. With all the playing with the lines he did for this game, it's bound to cause some confusion.The 2nd Blues goal also might've been a result of it since Panarin was late getting on unless he was just cherry picking but with a 2 goal lead at the time that is just stupid.

Damn it Seabrook that wasnt your man you passed to.

Pat Foley cut off by a commercial as he was ranting about late game start times.

That was HUGE !

Panarin score on pass from Kane with under .5 seconds left in the 2nd . !!!

Oh yea Anisimov rebound goal on a Pararin shot.

Damn same PP Crawford gets beat on a clear look.

A shortie by Hoss !

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) RIP Prince. Have always had a tremendous amount of respect for his talent and music. My all time favorite from Prince is 1999. I liked Prince. Now I like a ton of music and I'm Prince's age. I have Purple Rain on vinyl and 1999 on CD. Can't say I've listened to anything recent from him but when you find good music you always like it. It's also good knowing he performed at the last Bear's Superbowl appearance and even did a bit of Foo Fighters "The Best of You " at the halftime show. His music spanned a lot of different genres which was cool and a funny moment from the movie Purple Rain when Morris Day was mockingly singing "Let's Go Crazy " most likely because it sounded like white people music. One of my fav albums from the 80's ,She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper had at least one Prince written song on it that I really liked called When You Were Mine. Also wrote the hits Stand Back by Stevie Nicks, Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor ,Manic Monday by the Bangles, I Feel for You by Chaka Khan and many many others.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Actually yes, front offices have evolved past the Hawk Harrelson age of feelings and eye tests, and do look at advanced statistics. The White Sox are one of them. Though I do appreciate the irony of calling something stupid, while using the wrong "there". The wrong "there" is used so often that I wonder if anyone ever took 5th grade English classes and the rules for which one to use are really pretty simple. It's almost as annoying as saying "would of", "should of" and "could of" as if the word "have" or contractions never existed. "They're" fits right into the "there" problem and the contraction issue. Double edged sword

Moar runs please. Politeness counts.

Morneau should also be available some time in June. He would be the best option if the Sox decide another starting pitcher is needed. Also should keep in mind Buerhle since he hasn't announced his retirement has he ? Sox could get a leg up on Morneau by signing him during his elbow rehab to make sure its getting treated up to the Sox standards. He has shown he can still hit during the last 2 seasons (limited AB's in 2015). He even got enough support to come in 23rd in MVP voting in 2014. Yes we all know Colorado is a factor but I like that he isn't totally useless against lefties while hitting righties very well and is not a defensive liability.
