Can we find some way to stabilize OBP like the Youk acquisition during the year? Would be a shame to have no one on base for all this (potential) power in the lineup. Gillaspie or Carlos S.?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 02:32 PM) I think he was just more pissed that he embarrassed himself that he faceplanted and looked like a big dumb stupid. bulldogs were made to faceplant. the face's flatness is their evolutionary trait

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 02:28 PM) Hawk's worst home run call by far haha.. Youve already combed thru the 8 decades of calls?

Suddenly you're forgiven

catch-all's great.

Paniagua'll be flippin off umpires by 1pm central Lets Go Sox

Time to do all my work for the day ASAP. Early.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 09:41 AM) ...also with this once again rehashed Hawk sucks/Hawk needs to go thread (which we see every single year), the moment he's gone, you'll all be praising him as the former face of the White Sox and "miss him". Agreed.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 09:24 AM) I think he's entertaining. He is a homer, and some of his calls get ridiculous, but he does not shy away from praising players on other teams nor from criticizing the Sox when it's needed. He did go on and on yesterday about the Royals' catcher Perez. He can get fixated on players sometimes to the point of bizarre. I really don't think there's another announcer out there like him. What's the all-time Hawk-fixation team? CF Carlos Gomez LF Yaz RF Ichiro 1B Russell Branyan

I thank the living legends for their 'service'. Done. Am I to never think critically about them, ever?

Robin addressed it in the press conference. Said part of it was getting Conor some time in an MLB game since he has barely played at this level before.

Where's he slated to start this season out? Need catching depth.

I disagree with Hawk on almost everything, and disagree with how he approaches a broadcast. Yet I can't say I want him out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 04:42 PM) Just once I'd love to see Dunn put one down. Gordon could have walked home. Adam's strengths have always been in not messing with his formula for success. 3 outcomes. You start taking away his power aspect and the entire picture of him changes.

I'm not an AJ guy...but T-Flo is going to be out a ton. The value entirely rests on his defense and slugging. Not ignoring his penchant for walks, but it's not going to be valuable enough without the rest of the picture coming together.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 04:06 PM) This ump has a huge plate for Shields. He's giving him both corners of the plate. Love how baseball season brings my paranoia and conspiracy theory side back into view after a long rest.

After a guy strikes out, it's an ideal time to mention he's unfit for his role. Lets not rock what works.

Even though i'm watching ESPN Gamecast icons moving from base to base at work, I have to say: I love our hitters' thought process

Trayce likely to start out at AA this year?

I'm sure it's been covered every year, but just to fill me in...why is it the second day of the season is a day off? Wouldnt that amount to bad business-- just at the time you're trying to generate interest, you take your foot off the pedal a little?

Sox fans are being granted asylum from Hawk Harrelson.

Do we have a definite fifth starter yet? Why is the Trib talking about it like it's ironclad for sure going to be Axelrod? I thought Santiago was still in the mix to some extent? Granted I havent been as in the loop as I usually am lately.

Dude's an unmined gem yall
