Was there ever an explanation for the Konerko absence? Is he just trying to get Kepp rolling and it backfired?

Not to pile on (by which I mean, time to pile on!) but that guy was a crazyface. Everyone in the world who disagrees with him is literally the same awful person. I believe they call that psychological splitting, and it's for crazyfaces. I'm pretty sure he implied that I was one of Kyyle's alter egos. I don't think that's true but I'll have to defer to Kyyle on that one. Kyyle, am I just a construct of your imagination, and is all this autonomy and individualism I think I have an illusion?

Haha it was an unexplained and unnecessary non sequitur that interests literally no one about a huge exam coming up...and since I don't have the willpower to keep away from the Sox game, it was a good thing it ended so I could get back to it. GO FREAKING SOX! Taking down King Felix was an unexpected joy

Boom! Now, hello physiology textbook!

Fan-freaking-tastic! If Reed is who we think he can be, that'd be pretty big for this club.

So now we're in the business of predicting long-term health of pitchers based on their performances at age 30, eh? I don't know why they didn't give him a 15 year extension.

Sweet!

Cool, man. Good bullpenning!

Did the wind start blowing out to left or something?

Wait, is there a space in Furbush? Looks like his jersey says FUR BUSH

YYYES! Got a run!

Bases loaded, nobody out: this is where the Sox SHINE!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 6, 2013 -> 01:03 PM) Yeah, not a good sign at all. He doesn't project well at a corner, so he should just suck it up and do the best he can. On an unrelated note, I hate Keppinger batting 5th. Makes no sense at all. Why is Paulie out of the lineup in the first place? Aside from perhaps needing rest....good question. Career slash vs. Hernandez: .280/.345/.520/.865

Over/under on Sox K's today?

FWIW, DJ said on last night's radio broadcast that, this spring, De Aza requested a shift to left field when Wise came in to sub. Sounds like De Aza still just isn't comfortable in center, which is not a good sign.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 5, 2013 -> 08:23 PM) De Aza is bad at the game of baseball. DFA?

I didn't think there was any way that was gone off the bat

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Apr 5, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) Whilst a matchday thread is never complete without a feathery serpent God being referenced, and I'm all in favour of it, this post puzzles me. Quetzalcoatl is Jose Quintana's alter ego. He's just waiting for a prophecy to fulfill itself before flooding the world with blood from his penis....or something (see Wikipedia article for explanation). In the meantime, he pitches for the White Sox. ...At least, in the religious lore of SoxTalk.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 5, 2013 -> 11:55 AM) Starting to see some pretty disturbing trends so far this season. Twice in three games I've been interrupted at work and called away from MLB.TV for a significant amount of time. I hope Hahn is on this. You're on pace 108 interruptions. That's not a sustainable number. I think you'll be okay over the long haul

Wake up, De Aza, it was only a dream!

It's Bacon time!

Viciedo 2b, Ramirez single, Flowers walkoff blast. I'll have one of those, please.

Okay thanks for the answer Stoney

Soria still the closer? I can't remember how last year went after the injury.
