QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) They took whatever momentum they had from the Oakland series and completely flushed it down the toilet. f***. eh, momentum is Chris Sale tmr.

wild pitcher, runner in front of you, and you f***ing get picked off like that? Baseball 101 fail.

bench avi that is f***ing brutal. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?????

good job avi, come on, lets get a couple runs and get back in this.

our OF arms are pathetic.

well this sucks.

Salazar doesn't exactly have his A+ control early.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) The good mood of everyone including Hawk and Stone is just gone Hawk is such a p**** now. He gets down at the easiest stuff.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 01:45 PM) Hailing like crazy where I'm at (Oak Lawn area). Is the field going to be really saturated? They got the tarp on right? Trust in Bossard.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) What kind of business? If you don't mind me asking? Computer business. I did IT for years after college and got tired of responding to execs that had no idea what IT did and why it was important and why if you want your IT on point you have to pay for it. Most IT departments are under staffed, under paid and over worked. Started my own shop about 5 years ago. First year was awful, second year was OK, third year things really took off and haven't looked back since. If you get a chance to start your own business after working in your field do it. Have to be self motivated but being your own boss FTW.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) 2 hour shift? What do you do? own my own business . Got my deputy coming in to take over. Took me a long ass time to get to the point where I could afford to take somewhat of a step back once and awhile. Been at it for 5 years now.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) And now the heavens have opened and it's near whiteout conditions with sheets of sleet/snow. Yikes. I remember very clearly playing an early spring game my freshman year (was on varsity, big fish small pond) and I was playing CF in sleet in a game we were getting crushed. I was doing jumping jacks in between pitches to try and keep warm. As hard as it is for the fans, it's worse the players. IMO baseball is not a cold weather sport. Below 55 and your body just doesn't respond to the motions. I can hardly even imagine getting jammed with a wood bat on a 94 mph heater. No wonder they use all that fancy anti-vibration stuff now on all the handles.

Leaving work here after a massive 2 hour shift on a friday morning to hit the gym then watch the game. Let's go sox!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 12:56 PM) I think Chitown just wanted to stir the pot.. Ha, larry on SSS said it was bad and they'd probably have to cancel and he's usually spot on. Then I read Alexeis post and just chimed in on the s***ter before I washed up and went to work I hope they play!

Fug, sounds like they are going to probably have to cancel it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 11:46 PM) who is top left? navarro? yea lmao, what a nerd.

#squadgoals clubhouse looks pretty happy now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) I was thinking the same thing. Great win today. The starting pitching has been amazing. Hope my boy, John Danks, keeps the positive mo-jo going. I love taking 3-4 on the road from Oakland; 2-2 would have been acceptable even. For those who never give Robin credit: How bout giving him credit for moving Melky up to No. 2 and helping him get out of his slump? The way it turned out I doubt any of us would mind Melky giving it a shot in the two hole during the Cleveland series. Seems like he doesn't have a lot of power anymore, maybe the 2 hole is the spot for him to move runners. Danks had a funny quote today about "I hope it's 20 and snowing, the colder the better as a pitcher", despite being a Texas boy.

I'm loving the Jackson signing so far. He allows both eaton and Avi to relax some and as long as Jackson is a 1.5 WAR type he helps the team himself. Avi played pretty well in RF today and Eaton in CF. I think Eaton gets worn down more easily than most so having him in RF should save his legs a bit. Avi hopefully continues to build confidence in the starts he does get out there. Today he looked good. Obviously a long season but so far so good. Knock on a wood, in a way striking out on their other targets and "only" getting Jackson late might turn out alright, at least until they can add more in summer.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) I worked til 5, came home and drank a pint of that while watching Latos kick ass and took a power nap. Great day! Was really rooting for a great outing by Latos and got it. 5th inning was my key. Once he got through that easily I knew we'd get some runs and win. If you can get your hands on the Anderson Valley Blood Orange gose, do so, you will not regret it.

.@AdamSpankyEaton is the first Sox player to open season with four straight multihit games since Nellie Fox in 1955. #SoxStats 3:30 PM - 7 Apr 2016

Took the Sox until game 10 to get their 4th win last year. Let's see about 4 out of 5 to start '16!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) Awesome. Thanks for filing me in. Hopefully his velocity comes around as his arm strengthens up. Sounds like from his post game comments he's still working on strengthening his lower body coming off the knee issues. Makes total sense that his velocity is down in that case. Hopefully his knees are good enough to allow him to get his work in the weight room in. Anything he gives the Sox is a bonus IMO.

I am a massive hip hop head. IMO Chance is one of the most talented "crossover" (mainstream and backpack rap) MCs out there right now. He's Kendrick Lamar circa 2013, just waiting on the one big album that makes him a household name across the country. His flow is tight and as he matures he should be able to take his lyrics into more risque areas. Great signing for the Sox.
