QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) The way that some trucks are built vs "car-based" SUVs and trucks are night and day with the way they feel. I like driving big vehicles but I cannot bring myself to like driving those ladder-framed/body on frame vehicles. it's like I can feel the frame and body twist independently. We had a CRV before (for the family car) and traded it in this summer for the Odyssey. Even that tank handles a ton better than an F150.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 02:01 AM) That is actually pretty incredible considering the hall of fame players and the longevity of that franchise. And the 3 game record he broke wasn't Babe or Lou, it was Shelly Duncan. ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 1h1 hour ago Starlin Castro's 8 RBI are most by a player in his 1st 3 games with Yankees, breaking Shelley Duncan's mark (via @EliasSports)

jon greenberg ‏@jon_greenberg 1h1 hour ago If White Sox win their home opener, they'll be three games over .500 for first time since 2012. My column: https://theathletic.com/2016/04/08/smoking-...-bay-area-high/ …

Phil Rogers ‏@philgrogers 36m36 minutes ago Pitchers who have been w/their teams longer than Danks: Wainwright, Weaver, Felix, Cain and Verlander. That's excellent company.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 07:57 AM) OK, excluding retired numbers, 13 and 56 which are going to be retired, and 6, which is quasi-retired, who is your favorite (not necessarily best) Sox player to wear each number. Some of the higher numbers I didn't pick anybody because there wasn't anybody I liked enough to mention 1 - Lance Johnson 5 - Ray Durham 7 - Scott Fletcher 8 - Bo Jackson 10 - Alexei Ramirez 12 - AJ Pierzynski 15 - Tadahito Iguchi 17 - Ross Gload 18 - Claudell Washington 20 - Ron Karkovice 21 - Esteban Loaiza 22 - Ed Farmer 23 - Jermaine Dye (sorry Robin) 24 - Floyd Bannister 25 - Jim Thome 26 - Orlando Hernandez 27 - Geoff Blum 28 - Joey Cora 29 - Greg Walker (sorry Jack) 30 - Tim Raines 31 - LaMarr Hoyt 32 - Alex Fernandez 33 - Aaron Rowand 34 - Freddy Garcia 36 - Jerry Koosman 37 - Bobby Thigpen 38 - Pablo Ozuna 39 - Roberto Hernandez 40 - Wilson Alvarez 41 - Tom Seaver 43 - Damaso Marte 44 - Tom Paciorek 45 - Bobby Jenks 46 - Neal Cotts 49 - Chris Sale 50 - John Danks 51 - Alex Rios 52 - Jose Contreras 55 - Carlos Rodon 57 - Boone Logan 62 - Jose Quintana 65 - Nate Jones 79 - Jose Abreu Numbers that were missed, or could be improved 0- Oscar Gamble 15-Dick Allen 17-Carlos May or Jerry Hairston 20-Joel Horlen 22-Jose Valentin! 23-Robin Ventura for sure 24-The Rally Crede 25-Tommy John honorable mention 28-Lyle Mouton/Wilbur Wood 30-Magglio Ordonez 31-Hoyt Wilhelm 43-Gary Peters 44-Wimpy 45-Carlos Lee honorable mention 47-Rusty Kuntz 48-Estban Loaiza 51-Terry Forrester 53-Dennis Lamp 54-Goose Gossage 57-Jeff Bajenaru, Soxtalk legend 60-Rocky Biddle 61-Jesus Pena 67-Scott Carroll 68-Jake Petricka 71-Scott Linebrink 73-Tony Phillips 77-Carlos Sanchez 99-Manny Ramirez

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 07:05 AM) There's no guarantee that they would have gotten Rodon or Fulmer if they had Arrieta. He may have changed the winning of the franchise so that the Sox wouldn't have had the same draft pick spots. Assuming of course that the White Sox DO FIX Arrieta.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Charley Lau was the Sox hitting coach in 1983- he may have been sick already. He died before the 84 season, and Reinsdorf unofficially retired the number. I think Walt Hriniak wore it, but it's been out of commission. The school of Charley Lau turned out Frank Thomas.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:45 PM) So? He was having a hell of a game. Dusty Baker probably throws him out there. Robin made good decision to stick with pre-game planning. When things go right people don't consider a decision having been made. When they go wrong, then it was a manager doing something. The White Sox are freaking incredible at knowing how to build up a pitcher. While people will bicker with pen decisions, they hit the exact sweet spot with Latos today. A lesser manager would have pulled him after the fifth and his first scare after the spring training he had. The Sox sent him back out there to try to build the arm up, and were ready for him to have problems in case he did.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) I love my F150. Great towing. Room for five full size adults without them sitting in each other's laps or knocking knees. No worries about hauling something home from the nursery or Lowes, I can see over traffic, smooth and quiet on the highway . . . I have driven my FIL's F150 and I absolutely hated it. It is like driving a tank. It loud and bulky, and not user friendly.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) I'm certain most people wouldn't mind a 3 or 4% pay cut in their net pay. Hey. instead of a raise, how about we cut your salary for 2017! YEAH! Come on no one wants their take home pay cut. It doesn't matter what you earn. And those of us that fully contributed to SS enjoy receiving less than half of our SS because we are on a pension. Sounds like someone is feeling the Bern.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) Fowler just took out the knees of Schwarber. Yeah they are apparently carting him off of the field. That is not good at all.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 05:46 PM) The Golf is the better VW but they don't really sell that over here. I don't want to go that small.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) If that's true, I'd hope they trade him to a team as part of a package in July if needed. If that is true, everyone else knew it long before we did.

That was clearly off of the plate.

You have got to push that to the right side until you have two strikes.

26 straight games on base for Eaton.

Great hustle by Eaton turning that into double

Nice work by Duke and Albers to pitch out of first and third NO body out.
