Hey...let's not forget a big shout out to Paulie for coming off the bench to lead off the 9th and sends the first pitch he sees down the 3B line to start the comeback.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 05:07 PM) Great Win! Lets get the sweep! It sucked that Minnesota pretty much gave us the victory but I only saw the 11th inning, so maybe that doesn't tell the whole story. I also thought it was hilarious that Adam Dunn had no idea that the winning run was scoring as he was pimping his walk. Thats okay though, I'd rather he just be focused on hitting, and he did have a good at bat. Go Sox! First off...the Twinkies were DAMN LUCKY to even be ahead...or even to have scored that game if you want to be honest. They get more friggin gift runs against the Sox than any team I've ever seen. To say they gave us the victory...not buying it. As for Dunn and the wild pitch...I was thinking what might have been going thru his mind is if he actually had to go to first and touch it...seemed he was confused for a bit. Pretty sure he knew it was the winning run...that's just insulting his intelligence.

bout time the Sox caught a break this game. Great win!

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 08:51 AM) If Buehrle is on, I'll watch. For guys like Rios and Peavy and Quentin, I immediately forgot they were here as soon as they were gone. Really, Buehrle is the only former Sox that I care to watch and root for future success. As far as trades, as long as the players coming back to the Sox do well, I don't care about the ones traded that do well. It's good for the Sox if both sides get value. I'm in this boat as well....certain player...especially Mark YES! He'll always be a Sox! As for Reed...I'm kind of "meh"...but I did cringe and here a collective groan when he gave up that 2-run bomb to Posey.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 11:03 AM) So it's (For those of you that can't open twitter) 1. Eaton CF 2. Semien 3B 3. Abreu 1B 4. Dunn DH 5. Garcia RF 6. De Aza LF 7. Ramirez SS 8. Flowers C 9. Garcia 2B That's a tough spot for Semien IMO...Opening Day...opening series...moved from 2B to 3B and in the 2-spot. I realize trial by fire and all but I think I'd rather have Lexi hitting in the 2-hole right now.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 08:02 PM) Anyone else notice Nolasco's "f*** you" to De Aza on the 2nd homer? lol...didn't. Have to go back and watch...

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 05:50 PM) - Adam Eaton is going to lose Kevin Towers his job. - Jose Abreu is going to make $68m look like spare change. - Give Chris Sale 5 runs every game and he'll win 30. - Alejandro De Aza is a good baseball player, despite what you may read - The 2014 White Sox, no matter how many wins, will be infinitely more watchable than the 2013 White Sox - Baseball is back, f*** yeah Perfect!

dude's lucky he's not dead....that was brutal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 09:37 AM) Interesting to see the level of hoops the Halos are jumping through in this deal to stay under the luxury tax level this year. You can tell where those deals for Hamilton and Pujols are really squeezing them. The Halos were still complete idiots for spending that kind of money on Pujols personally...and I honestly think Pujols was an idiot for leaving St. Louis. He's kind of drifted off into obscurity...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 27, 2014 -> 09:00 PM) They're also going to have to pay Austin Jackson at some point. Don't worry...the Red Sox will pay him handsomely.

ridiculous. Thank you Dombrowski...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 24, 2014 -> 10:44 PM) “You’ve seen the magnitude of what some of these deals have gotten to in free agency,” Hahn said. “It makes sense to try to get out in front of that sometimes, to try to get the price points locked in before the market continues to grow and not only is the risk heightened of the cost of signing the player, but quite frankly the chance the player moves on somewhere else also becomes heightened. In our opinion it makes more sense to move quickly and be proactive in these situations.” Sale and Quintana are two centerpieces of a young core that the Sox have been trying to build since midsummer, and Sox manager Robin Ventura said Monday he is happy the duo will be around for a while. Hahn said the deals enable the club to focus on other needs. “It frees us up to allocate our resources to other needs, which is beneficial, and takes a couple of other things off our to-do list, which is always nice,” Hahn said. www.chicagotribune.com/sports I love having a forward thinker like this in the front office instead of the reactionary type of the past...

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) AZ recently said they were thinking about trading a SS for a young C to come up after Montero, so I'd guess Trahan is probably either unavailable or very disappointing. Then again, practically nothing that Kevin Towers does makes sense to me. They're not projecting him as a C for future and playing him in LF....

well done Gordon. I wonder if he was behind Dunn's red carpet too?...

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 5, 2014 -> 09:04 AM) Adam Dunn's locker fter coming back from the Oscars had a red carpet leading to it , velvet ropes and cardboard cutout Oscar statues. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...arpet-adam-dunn hahaa...nice job!

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 09:33 AM) They're not looking to deal Sanchez. He will be the everyday catcher once McCann gets moved to 1B/DH, probably in 2017 when Texeira's contract expires. I'm not so sure about that. Like Balta said...he could be primed trading material. Sanchez has always been a pipedream of mine...

Just wanted to share these with some of you that had mentioned getting out and hiking some. This actually isn't too far to get to at all (Carefree Highway and 32nd St...it's Cave Creek Park. Takes us about half hour to get there). We did a 10.5-mile hike there yesterday and it was awesome. It might be for somebody that wants to do a nice hike...but get out away from the city and urban trails and experience some of the beautiful desert. Sorry to bore ya with desert pics and suck up bandwidth...but it's a great place to hike and pretty close to the city.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 10:18 AM) But it doesn't add to the logjam. It just creates another possibility. It isn't like Dunn is going to be out there an extended time. If he's going well, it's another place to put him. I also think the roster will be different by opening day. Yeah...I have no problem with this. At least they'll be prepared if some unforeseen injuries come up. I loved Dunn's comment in the paper this morning...should be our '14 motto: "We’re not building rockets for NASA. It’s baseball.”

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) I find most of the non fast food places back in IL are superior. You could get lunch in Chinatown for $3. I'm still looking for that hole in the wall, that you wonder if it passes a health inspection, more than affordable Mexican carryout place in the south Peoria area. The best torta came out of Chicago Heights and then there was Tony's football size burritos in Joliet. There are no tenderloins or walleye dinners out here either. I wish there was a Chicago Bread & Dough Co. out here. Killer lunch pizza buffets there. Hard liquor is real cheap out here. Not sure where you live kite...but for Walleye check out a place called Taylor Chowder House. I little tucked away hole in the wall place off of 35th Ave and Thunderbird. Most of the times I've been there they've had Walleye as a special. Their chowder rocks...and fried shrimp and fish is really good too. If you're ever in Pinetop go to a place Charlie Clarks...pan-fried walleye. http://www.taylorschowder.net/ As for mexican hole in the wall places...a little drive thru on grand and 83rd ave area has always been good to me. I've found most hole in the wall mexican places have been pretty decent (but like you said...iffy on health inspection). My favorite Mexican place to eat on this side of town is up by Peoria Sports Complex...it's called Abuello's. It's OUTSTANDING!!!!!....you won't be disappointed! http://www.abuelos.com/

QUOTE (SI1020 @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) 1. I can see why you don't like the fast food places you mentioned but I doubt the average person will have that extreme a body reaction to the food. 2. Why don't you like Tucson? I've been there a time or two, find it beautiful and accommodating and we are considering relocating there some day. 3. A sub culture of Dodger fans are dangerous indeed. They can take extreme offense to your rooting against their team. You can get a savage beating or worse. It's unfortunate because most Dodger fans are no better or worse than any other team's fans. I consider a game at Dodger Stadium a treat. Spend the money on the better seats would be my advice. 1. Not sure why anyone would come all the way out here to partake in fast food anyway...but oh well. It's fast food...all fast food is meh. My fave fast foot out here tho is Freddy's Steaksburgers!...they're good how Steak N Shake used to be (sans chili). 2. The only thing I don't like about Tucson are how ASU and UofA fans go back and forth. Some SERIOUS bitterness between the two cities/schools. As for the city itself...it beats El Paso, TX...I will give it that. Some very beautiful parts of it and surrounding desert. 3. I think the whole Dodge thing is a little overdramatic...we're in Glendale...not East LA...and it's spring traing. It's fine...nothing to see there. Still can't believe how ridiculously nice it's been out here...up to 87º today and around 80 for another whole week. I need to find out the practice schedule...should have just got up and headed out there this morning. I did see there a weekend college series going on out at Camelback Ranch this weekend...NIU Huskies vs Minnesota.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 02:45 AM) Any hotel suggestions for a night in Old Town Scottsdale? I'll be there from Feb 28 - Mar 3 so I have four full days. All in all, I want to do a game at Camelback and a game each at the AZ/COL complex, the SFG complex and the Cubs complex. Additionally, I might hit the Suns game Friday, Coyotes game Sunday, make the drive to Sedona, and hike Camelback Mountain. With lots of sun/pool/beer mixed in. I've been out here for almost 30 years and hike quite a bit...and can honestly say I've never once hiked Camelback Mountain. A few instances of people being attacked by bees (on of them dying a few years back) dulled my interest. I've always said I was gonna do it...but just never really made it a priority. I usually do the White Tanks (waaaay west of glendale...basically the big range to the west you see)...or I go out to this place below. It's called Cave Creek Regional Park. Really awesome trails (Go John is the best one...about 6 miles) and gives you a real feel for the desert. Care Free Highway and go north on 32nd street. I got up to Snowbowl this past weekend too...skied in just a long sleeve shirt in the afternoon. Still snow up on the mountain in Flag (but nowhere else really). I'm sure you guys have had your fill of snow tho. It's ridiculously nice out here right now!

Astros designate Brett Wallace for asignment. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/02/astr...assignment.html Damn....that kid fell off the face of the earth fairly quick.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 02:27 PM) Adam Dunn is the junked car sitting in your front lawn. It doesn't matter that you paid $6,000 for it on Craigslist. It doesn't matter that it *should* have run like this or that, or that it "shouldn't* have had this or that problem. The point is that your yard is a s*** hole, and there's a guy out there who will happily come tow it away for you and give you whatever it's junked value is. And with a little tuning...that junk car will out-muscle most of the cars in your garage.

I've been anxiously waiting for Boehner to do his best Belushi.... I've had enough. I can't watch this bulls*** anymore. Good God....

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 28, 2014 -> 12:42 PM) Not sure yet. Gotta do some research. I'm 24 so renting cars is a pain. should have done your package with priceline...get a car or you'll hate yourself. Still check with them...
