QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) So explain to me what gun control laws would have accomplished here. You want to make it illegal for a 6 year old to carry a gun to school? Guess what... it already is, in multiple ways. I guess I should have stressed the "more guns" part of my statement.

What we need is more guns and less regulation: via

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) It's time for Adam Dunn to get f***ing hot. Understatement of the season.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) No matter how you spin it, leaving a rehab start with discomfort much earlier than planned is a setback. Are you sure he wasn't scheduled to only throw 15 pitches?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) And yet, here were are, still waiting for this guy to throw a meaningful pitch for the Chicago White Sox. You're not allowed to be negative or critical about anything Sox related. Six straight years of failure (unless you count a pathetic playoff appearance in 2008) and we are supposed to blindly have faith and think this year will be different.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) It's still another setback which will likely cause him to miss at least another month. And then during the remaining portion of his rehab, he'll probably have another setback. I don't understand the optimism with Jake Peavy. He's been a member of this club for almost 2 years and he's been healthy for a total of about 3 months. He has been an absolute bust. If he ever does get healthy, he really ought to sign the most extremely owner-friendly contract in the history of baseball since he's been paid like a top 5 pitcher in baseball for doing absolutely nothing.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) First it was a shoulder and everyone was sure he was done, now its his lat and everyone is sure he is done. How about waiting for some actual information? The key word in all of this is waiting. Lots of waiting.

Yes. They armed the actual heads of some sharks.

I'm by no means an expert in economics so i wanted to get people's thoughts on this article: Standard & Poor's Is Playing Us For Fools

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) Damn. You don't see many facebook groups with only 59 people. What are you waiting for? I think the 60th member gets a Fire Ozzie bumper sticker and a pack of Big League Chew.

Just trying to stay positive. You know me!

These terrible April starts suck. Fans don't come out and even traffic in here feels like the offseason.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 08:48 AM) The law of averages doesn't say anything about how often you should win when playing generally inferior competition. You have to read the fine print of that specific law.

Hey now. He's just ironing things out. He'll be the old Matt by August!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 08:37 AM) Yet, no one is hesititating to give him the blame in a short slump this year... He is Mike Ditka. He had one fantastic season followed by several years of disappointing teams. He needs to go. 2005 is long gone.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 08:06 AM) They woke up last year without a new manager. They beat up on the NL in order to look relevant again. I'm not going to give Ozzie a ton of credit for the brief run in what ultimately was an underachieving season last year.

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 07:53 AM) Agreed! Hell, at the beginning of the season, I'd be happy with a .500 record for April the way they seem to start slowly. I am not giving up on this team yet, I just may have to look away at times because it is too painful to watch. Fans have a right to boo the Sox. I have a right to boo the fans. BOOO! I wouldn't be. Why be content with mediocrity and hope to catch up when we play the NL? The law of averages state that our ridiculous run against NL teams will eventually slow down.

QUOTE (almagest @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 04:24 PM) Inherited runners vs inherited runners allowed to score is already tracked, I believe. QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) Sure... but not in the way he was looking for. You're right qwerty. I want to see a variation of ERA that assigns inherited runners to both the original pitcher and his reliever(s).

For some reason I think we'll play better on the road.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) Focus should be on 2012 for Peavy the Sox. Seems this year is pushing it

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 07:08 PM) I think its time we all admit that Gordon Beckham sucks. Stop being so negative. The season is young.
