QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) Let's get out of this and then jinx some runs. Cubs. Thanks for over-jinxing the jinx. If it wasn't for you, the A's would have scored for sure.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) Imagine if you actually paid money and had to listen to them at the park. Never sit in the bleachers in Cleveland.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) The only thing dumber than the word Cubs is the word "Jinx" They're not real. Period. You do realize that you aren't telling people something they don't already know. It is a game thread, and people are BSing, and giving each other a hard time. No one here ACTUALLY believes they have the power to alter space and time just by mentioning a happening. But thanks for the lecture. Again.

HE GAWN!

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:42 PM) I can't think of a thing about Oakland that doesn't suck. MC Hammer.

CSN broadcast just showed that Rodon is averaging 92 tonight on his fastball.

Nice play by Frazier.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) Um, not start going on a line drive? Knowing where the fielders are? He was hung out to dry.

Ugh.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) Has Rodon thrown a great slider yet? You should have asked that a few innings ago.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:14 PM) Still getting hit hard Yeah, even the outs have been crushed the last two innings.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) I don't think they would have taken him if he was available to be honest. The rumor was always Aaron Nola if Carlos Rodon was gone.

Gray was just nasty that inning. He is settling in, which is bad news for our offense.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:55 PM) It wasn't on worldnetdaily though No one talked about it at Applebees.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) What are FNGs First...name...gallon F'ing New Guys It is a military term.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) Last year those two line drives are base hits Maybe even triples.

So this year 7 of the 8 Sox RBI are by FNG's.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) Fantastic catch from Eaton He had perfect read on that.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:48 PM) In one moment everyone realized it was time for Hawk to retire. Everyone including Hawk. Unfortunately his eyes have been failing him for a couple of years now. It gets more and more noticeable as time has passed.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) Ha, I had thought you meant Leon Panetta. Then when you posted the correction I thought you meant Paul DePodesta for a second. Maybe that is where I got Leon from. I have no idea.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) Who is Leon Podesta? Don't know why I was thinking Leon, but John Podesta.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) I appreciate your glass being half full and envy your optimism, Southsider. And, yes, we will have approx. $5.5 Large available, as you stated. But, are you trying to put a positive spin on the Michael Ynoa Trade? It was the right move, even if it didn't work out. The players we gave up are low ceiling guys, and we got the best player in the deal. Heck, we pretty much made the same deal again to get Todd Frazier, and again it was a good deal. What I am saying is the extra draft pick could be huge for a team that need more young and cost controlled talent in this system. Remember Spencer Adams that has set the world on fire was drafted at #44. this is 18 spots ahead of that.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 07:13 PM) What shocks me about this is how few players in the majors are actually drafted. Thankfully this is an area where the Sox have made huge strides in the last five years.

A right wing page managed to connect Leon Podesta to this. Any other sources out there for this?

Brett Lawrie.
