Shuck blew that one. In game like this, that one could bite us.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) I see both teams scoring a combined 15+ runs today. This is all your fault.

10 in a row for Latos. No score after 4 innings, played in about an hour.

Valencia boots the ball.

7 in a row put down by Latos. Now comes the fun as he tries to make it through the line up a second time.

Melky uses the hole with the A's holding Eaton on.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) Was Frazier's error bad He was basically playing SS in a shift, and he made a bad throw up the line.

Another nice inning for Latos, 3 up, 3 down.

Garica took it all of the way to the fence in CF. Byrnes almost blew that one.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) In fairness, at his age his sight is most likely not what it used to be. If you are going to have an older announcer, you have to allow for some limitations. In his later years, Paulie didn't run as fast as he did earlier in his career. Same thing. Hawk has also had multiple eye surgeries.

That is exactly why on that shift, I would rather leave the SS in his spot.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) 2013 story on ESPN In 2013 with the O's, he was nothing, so it probably didn't get a ton of notice from us. And Jas is right, you just have no idea what he would have turned into with another club and coaching staff. Still would have been a great trade and credit the Sox for trying to make a move like that. Oh I remember us dealing Crain. We ended up sending him to Tampa for a conditional player, and Crain didn't end up playing for them. What I didn't remember was that Arrieta was a possibility.

Nice throw by Saladino.

Semien'd. Nice hustle by Jose to get to 2nd.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) David Kaplan told a story today on the air that the Sox were set to trade Jessie Crain to the O's for Arrieta but Crain failed his medicals. I looked and it was reported on in 2013, but I don't remember it at all. I don't remember that at all, either.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) Of course it's ridiculous. The Bar and Grill though is a bigger crock. I think they spent about just as much money on that and JR gets to keep all the profits. At least taxpayers of IL will be able to enjoy these boards. Of course the state of Illinois is getting their 10% kick back out of every dollar spent there too, so I don't really feel too bad for them.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Yes, because he hadn't put up a 2.83 ERA in 17 starts that same season pitching for the Cubs. Reality is he was never as good as that split season with the A's / Cubs, nor was he as bad as he was for the Sox last year (I don't think). He's more likely going to be a ~4ERA 200+ inning guy and I think given that production, he's relatively fairly paid. Yeah, we didn't just an an Oakland sample size to go off of here.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) Isn't it too early for this? Sox have an off day next week. With the way Latos pitched in the spring, it is worth noting.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 26m26 minutes ago Nobody in #WhiteSox starting lineup has faced A's starter Kendall Graveman. Austin Jackson, off today, is 1/4. No other exp. Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 26m26 minutes ago Mat Latos is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA over 9 1/3 innings covering 2 appearances (1 start) against the Oakland Athletics.

I am actually considering swimming against the current and looking at a slightly used VW Passat or Jetta to replace my car. I'd go for the gas engine, and not the diesel. They are so stinking cheap right now, and I don't really care about trade in, as I run whatever I drive into the ground. The car I am driving now I bought new in Jan 04.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) I agree. His lower half is very, very strong. If everything clicks, I think he has a higher ceiling than Sale. He has the body of Nolan Ryan. He could be a workhorse, while I don't even think Sale could be.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 12:06 PM) Drake's still too young for the full 40 oz? One ounce for each year of Drake.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) They knew Aiken was going #1. They had no idea what Miami was doing at #2. If they took Rodon, Sox would've gone Nola. This is also how I remember it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 11:47 AM) I think he will. Remember, he's doing it for the memory of Drake. [pours out his 14OZ]
