The tarp is OFF of the field. All systems seem to be go.

Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 59m59 minutes ago #WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn: "When things aren't working to you need to change it...We needed more energy in clubhouse"

Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 32m32 minutes ago Most surprising thing about Eaton for #WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn? That he's frequently criticized for minor "flaws"

I will worry when Jim Cantore shows up.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) Gar is an ass, but I do think he has a pretty good eye for talent. He might not be perfect, but every guy will miss from time to time and while we can point to some of the Bulls misses, they have historically been one of the better drafting teams under Pax / Gar, especially when you consider where they were typically picking. Gar has plenty of issues, but I think from a pure talent evaluation perspective, I like him over Hinkie. Supposedly Hinkie has trouble working with people (not sure how much is true vs. Jerry Collangelo driving that wedge) and I think like Gar, both are best suited in a more assistant capacity than a true GM. Hinkie would great to have in Chicago (but not as a GM). Would love his analytical mind as I think it is a valuable resource that would go great with a GM who appreciates the analytics but also has an adapt eye for talent and a strong ability to work with others. Honestly, I really wonder if we see Hoiberg move to the front office. Would be curious if he'd do it. Or whether Doug Collins would still be willing to take an assistant role to help Hoiberg? Either way, I really hope we see at least some sort of shakeup in the front office (it is imperative, imo). I know everyone wants to blast them for the Thibs debable, but let's not forget who gave him his first head coaching job when no one else would.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 01:14 PM) I hate this post so much. Ditto. He is a real life guy with his entire career ahead of him. We aren't talking about a rapist or anything like that. Sure I want see the Cubs bomb, but you never want to see something like this.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) Sox need to not swing at pitch 1 or 2. Salazar will either have 14ks or 6 walks today. Could be both.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 12:56 PM) I think you just have to hold Shift and you can select multiple. Control

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) I think this being the first time in 61 years both the Sox and Cubs started out 2-0 is incredible. Even if you have a horrid team you could start out 2-0. It is pretty crazy honestly. Even if you assign a 50/50 chance of winning and losing to each game, the random chances of it happening are 1 in 16 for each year.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 41m41 minutes ago #WhiteSox for 4/8: Eaton 9, Rollins 6, Abreu 3, Frazier 5, Cabrera 7, Garcia DH, Lawrie 4, Avila 2, Jackson 8. Danks 1.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 12:19 PM) They aren't cancelling the game, too close to game time and it's not that bad. I heard them interview Bossard on WBBM radio about a half hour ago, he thinks they might have a delay or two. It's on.

Matt Spiegel ‏@MattSpiegel670 10m10 minutes ago The inspired stroke of PR genius, evidenced early. RT @sm23 @MattSpiegel670 Chance White Sox hats went on sale at 11. sold out by 11:08.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 3m3 minutes ago A lot of concern within the Cubs organization today about Kyle Schwarber's injury, and there is more concern about his knee than his ankle.

For folks who get CSN, they will start broadcasting from the stadium at 2pm today.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) Bold prediction: The Sox net a QO compensation pick from either Danks or Latos this year. If we get a QO for either guy, start printing playoff tickets.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) Leury? Over Sands? Yeah.

Julie DiCaro ‏@JulieDiCaro 3h3 hours ago ICYMI: Schwarber going to have MRI on his left knee & ankle today. Javy Baez may not be back right away after getting hit in the head.

Phil Rogers ‏@philgrogers 2h2 hours ago Mat Latos was impressive in his @whitesox debut. Won w/o velocity he used to build 3.27 ERA 2010-14. His FB averaged 89.9; was 92.5 in '15. Oakland broadcasters made a point about how Latos was "pitching backwards,'' w/soft stuff in FB counts. Maybe, but he threw 61% fastballs.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) Yeah, I just don't see us of having a shortage of players who hit lefties well. I feel like he'll get bonifacio playing time, not sure we need that. Honestly would probably rather have Leury just to have someone with 80 speed than him now that I realize how hard it will be for him to find time. I'd rather see our real prospects playing every day.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:58 AM) If Danks consistently has his 91 mph stuff that popped up I'd be optimistic. But he just has way too many days of nothing and he can't junk it up when that happens. I feel for danks. Not like he asked for his shoulder to fall off. Plus the dude has never felt sorry for himself or tried to push off the blame. He has fought through it and took the ball every fifth day since the surgery.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:53 AM) If he does that, I'd offer a QO. I bet he pitches decent he will try to get one last 3-4 year deal. Going into last year I would have thought that was crazy, then I saw was JA Happ got, and also can see how bad this years FA crop is... Now it isn't the craziest thing I have ever heard.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:52 AM) With how that looked and how he reacted, they will be really lucky if it is only 1-2 weeks The sounded pretty certain that a DL stint was going to happen, which is a minimum of 15 days. They sure don't think it is a minimal strain/sprain.
