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.

All right boys Easy does it. Just have to be patient with Weaver . Like any pitcher who throws junk he relies on a hitter getting himself out more than anything. This game should be just as entertaining as the others. Just saw Flava Fraz aka the Toddfather on MLB network talking with fellow Jersey Boys Mark DeRosa and Al Leiter. Quite entertaining. DeRosa brought up that the Sox defense is 2nd in defensive efficiency ( whatever that is ) . Showed highlights of good defense by Frazier, Lawrie and Eaton. Talked about defense and attitude than anything else.

QUOTE (Brutus @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 07:59 AM) Hello everyone... New to the board. GO SOX! Hey Brtus welcome ! Tell Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Swee' Pea hello . Also tell Wimpy he owes me for that hamburger. He's got until Tuesday to pay me.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) Meh if Sands holds on or the ump makes the correct call on that check swing, it's fine. I like the Robertson call. Sands did hold on, he never lost possession or bobbled it the yet some how he didn't have it ?

Hmm interesting doubt they say he had control of it but it was pinned to his body by his arm and didnt look as if it was bobbled just rolled it down his arm to his hand.

Thought for sure Richards would be gone after last inning. Pitch count up there and was all over the place lat inning until Sands swung at ball 4 and Avila couldnt catch up to the heat.

Having Melky bunt while batting lefty and being one of the hotter Sox hitters is questionable especially with the bottom of the order coming up.Had to they'd put a runner on 1st to set up a DP .

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) Time for Avila to go deep. Deep enough. Nice bunt AJ . Let's get more .

Time for Avila to go deep.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:30 PM) Didn't see it, but DJ and Farmer said that his foot didn't get to the base. Well they are just plain wrong , his foot hit the base hard.

Lawrie was safe.

In the Sox last 5 wins the have shut out the opponent 3 times and held them to 1 run twice.

http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/173...eason-dominance Article about Latos command of the strike zone and his approach.

So far Latos has been the best addition the Sox made this off season.

I still question having a thread pinned that no one has posted in for 4 months especially when game threads sometimes have good discussions going on in them and are booted to the archives almost immediately. Not only that but since now I've posted , it will be the very 1st subject listed on page 1 . Shouldn't this be in the diamond club ?

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 07:01 AM) Maybe it's just the dreary weather, but coupled with the last few games, there is a very funereal atmosphere going into this one. This would be a very bad time for Latos to finally come back to earth. Well I think it's high time we put the fun back into funereal. Lets make that fun real

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) I'd go Kahnle. I'd agree based on the Sox not wanting to mess with Charlotte's rotation but if they don't care about that might be Gonzales or Turner for possible long relief.
