Out of the ones who are reporting fundraising numbers and close to declaring, Bachmann may have won the money race in Q1.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 10:10 AM) He had just pitched a couple of days ago, right? Yes, he started one of the minor league games earlier this week.

Prove me wrong, Edwin.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) As a 3-year Baseball America subscriber, I'm a fan of any and all premium young talent. I don't care what team they play for. I'd argue McCutchen is already a star and Alvarez isn't far behind. The better these guys get, of course, the better the Pirates will eventually (finally) get. I like Tabata and Walker as well (and, yes, Ace, Jones still sucks). They're going to take either Anthony Rendon or Gerrit Cole with the #1 pick this year. And they've got premium arms in Jameson Taillon and Stetson Allie, though each is 2-3 years away. Problem for the Pirates is...by the time those 2-3 year away guys arrive, guys like McCutcheon and Alvarez are going to be in their arbitration years, and they're going to be looking to trade them before they get expensive.

Awwwwwwwwwww

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 06:13 AM) Balta, The prime lands are not available. It is the same as saying don't do stem cell research because we have not tried everything else. What prime drilling lands? The only ones you can honestly cite are ANWR, which really only BP wants to drill in anyway since they're the only ones with resources up there that might, might make them cost effective, off the coast of Florida, and downtown Los Angeles.

If his OPS is back in the >.900 range in 2 weeks, yeah, talk to me then.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 06:39 PM) Isn't he our 5th starter? That's Mr. Offday, at least for week 1.

It took last year's white sox 4 games to score 15 runs. (5 games to score 16).

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 06:16 PM) So if Thornton has to come in, it means we've burned through our whole bullpen, except for Santos. Wow. Humber doesn't count?

Well, I'm glad to see we're winning now that I'm back, although I can't say I'm thrilled at the finish

This is not a good thing.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 03:30 PM) A walk or a strike when contact will suffice will be the death of me all season (if I last that long). As long as I get to cheer for 1 HR for every 4-4.25 k's, I'll be thrilled.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) sorry, i'm at work is there a way to listen to this without mlb radio? Unless MLB is giving away a week of gameday audio, not legally.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) I don't see why. Because we've decided as a national policy that manufacturing is the biggest economic sector that has to compete directly with low-wage workers from overseas, so it has been effectively dismantled over the last 40 years.

Enjoying this inning, I am.

White Sox offense on the season: .750 batting average, 1 RBI.

PK14!

Damn, now we're down to hitting .667 on the season.

Ok Adam, keep this team batting average up.

We need to keep this team batting average.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 09:35 AM) You said that last month too. When the unders win like 75% of the time, it's ok to be surprised by that.

The Overs win an unemployment report!
