Maybe the 2012 slogan should be "Earning their contracts."

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 06:02 PM) but do THOSE teams have the pitching we have? Texas does. And yes a lot of teams have weak hitters batting 8th and 9th but there's nothing like Morel and Beckham at 8-9.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 05:58 PM) but don't you guys get that we're only overly negative this year because of Dunn and Rios. IF - and it's a decently sized if - they're hitting well come midseason, then what flaws do we HAVE? The two idiots at 2b and 3b. I'm with you, I actually like this roster, never thought it was that bad to begin with but I know Balta is worried about the stretching out of Sale, and Humber to a lesser extent.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) eh i wasn't looking and it was 7 years ago. but supports my point even better. middling, middling offense and great pitching. Our bullpen is as good as 05 and our rotation could be. plug in a resurgent Dunn and Rios, and if you're contending midseason, you have to go for it. This site is usually overly negative but as a whole we were pretty damn optimistic going into 05.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 05:51 PM) I see nothing good from Morel. Beckham's at least swinging aggressively. Long f***in swing though. He's got issues.

If Morel and Beckham aren't the 2 worst starters in baseball we can definitely hang because Detroit just isn't that great. We'll see but I definitely like this roster minus the horrendousness at 2b and 3b.

First off that was literally the slowest double of all time. And if Paulie is hurt I'm going to cry.

How about AJ calling sliders on those 3 ball counts in the 9th...f***in ballsy. Where's Brian's avy when you need it...YES YES YES YES

Ran my first 5k today. Paced myself way too much, had a ton left in the tank, once I saw the finish line from way back I was able to do a full out sprint until the end.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 01:36 PM) Overall, I'm quite happy with Robin's performance as manager, but sticking to his guns with Morel in the 2-hole is really annoying. I understand why he's doing it, but it's hurting the team at the moment. Completely agree with all of this. At the moment I think Alex might be the right guy for that spot.

It's time to cut the cord after this season.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 11:35 PM) This is a bad thing...I don't want the Bulls to play New York in the first round. Why not? They're a finesse team that isn't very good. Actually seems like a perfect match up to me.

Boo if we're 140 games into the season and he's awful again. Booing 2 weeks into the season was absolutely ridiculous, though it shouldn't have anything to do with his performance.

That was one of the more satisfying Sox wins I've seen in a while. With the Dunn 2 hr's, Morel and Beckham both contributing and Sale just missing bats...beautiful. Still need Chris to get ahead of more hitters and once he starts to do that, he's going to be unhittable.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) I approve of your avy.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 12:54 AM) Going to Extreme Rules with my nephew. Silly kid doesn't know it's okay to root for the "bad" guys. He loves Punk, but loves Cena more. Hard to admit but I've become a cena fan in the last few months here.

Alexei is absurd.

Bryan is just on fire. Anyone gonna go to extreme rules? The punk pop and seeing brock should be worth it.

That whole half inning was a lie I'm pretty sure.

Random thought of the day: Is it a coincidence that Derrick has kept getting hurt since Adidas started using the "all in" tagline?

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) A girl has called your dick "ferociously cute?" I'm pretty sure that means the score is actually: Heads: -1000 Everyone Else: A Hell of a lot better than that I know I've spent too much time on this site when I can remember heads referencing this before. Awful.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 10:41 PM) Oh god what a weekend. Playing poker with a couple of old college buddies when a girl comes to my door. I say "Whats up" and she sticks her tongue down my throat which was just awesome. I turn to my buddies and tell them to GTFO (I literally said "Get the f*** out"), and proceed to play strip blackjack...yes, blackjack...which ended up being awesome. She said I have a nice ass and then she said I have a nice dick. I thanked her. I unfortunately did not get laid but I got to play with boobies which was awesome. Oh and she is 19 and I met her 15 minutes before that. That just sounds like an epic fail on your part to not close the deal, I'm disappointed in you. Friday night was one of the most fun days/nights I can remember having in a long time, start tailgating/drinking at 10:00 and don't stop boozing until 3 in the morning, add that to White Sox baseball and good looking girls and life doesn't get much better!

It's super encouraging to see that Jared is at least healthy. Obviously the k's need to be cut down but the thing I always loved about him is that he's an insane athlete with the ability to draw walks, you usually don't see that all too often.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) any of you guys take pre-workout supplements like noxplode, superpump 250, etc? trying to decide if it's worth it. I'm not big on putting chemicals in my body - but i'm skinny and trying to gain mass, and a pre-workout drink would probably help me lift harder... I don't take anything pre-workout but I do take bcaa's intra-workout and I love the result so far.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 11:31 PM) So mechanically what makes Fielder faster than Konerko? Doesn't it come to how fast your move your legs. Legs are connected to your hips. Core strength is a part of it too which includes your hips so there ya go...
