QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 7, 2015 -> 12:57 PM) Are we wearing 83's again? Is Chris Sale angry?

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 7, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) I have a city parking permit on my car and I live in Little Italy, am I allowed to park on the streets in Bridgeport? Each neighborhood has a code number, and if you don't have the right one, they will tow and/or ticket.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 7, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) if the Jay selection is indeed true, i really have a hard time trying to figure that one out. the last time the sox selected a rp in the first round, well i let some one else who want to look it up. either way, nice find. Royce Ring. But if the Sox select Jay in the first round at #8, it means they don't think he will be a RP, and will be a SP.

South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox 39m39 minutes ago Tyler Flowers is one of the best pitch framers in baseball, and he showed it Wednesday. http://www.southsidesox.com/2015/5/7/85642...d-what-he-could …

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 33m33 minutes ago More on Chris Sale dropping appeal and starting 5-game suspension on Thurs. He'll be back Tues. in Mil. #WhiteSox http://bit.ly/1bATxFn

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 7, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) I am ready for Rick to sell half the damn farm to get a catcher that isn't an automatic out. it is becoming that frustrating. The problem is that there are about 20 good catchers to go around. Rick has been trying. Don't forget he chased after mcCann before he went to NYY. I have no doubt the next two things on his shopping list are 3B and C.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 7, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) Indiana owns this category and it isn't even close. WE'RE #1!!!!

Some good stuff in there. I love reading how the players think.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 7, 2015 -> 10:25 AM) Hey, how are you getting Shiner products? I didn't think we were sharing. They have been up here for a few years now. Thankfully still no Lone Star.

MLB Daily Dish ‏@mlbdailydish 1h1 hour ago Jarrod Saltalamacchia expected to sign with D-Backs http://sbnation.com/e/8329134?utm_campaign..._source=twitter …

Phil Rogers ‏@philgrogers 21m21 minutes ago Victor Martinez's 33.08-second circling of the bases was the slowest of 2015, almost 3 seconds more than Big Papi's 30.13 on April 10. V-Mart's 33.08 is the 4th slowest in 5 years TaterTrotTracker has been keepingtimes. 2 of the 3 slower were by players injured during trot.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 7, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) Blue Moon helped start the microbrew revolution, it accomplished quite a bit. Blue Moon is fine for what it is. It is a large step up from the Miller Lites and Coors of the world. But it also a good step below the the White Wings and Hoegaarden's of the world.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 7, 2015 -> 09:17 AM) lololol but MB was always good for a biting remark and quickly. So are both of those guys.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 7, 2015 -> 09:13 AM) the sox needs that kind of an attitude again on the south side. Have you ever heard of Chris Sale or Jeff Samardjiza?

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 7, 2015 -> 09:03 AM) Buehrle describes the reports of his ailments as "horses*** reporting". Says he will only need to go on the DL if he goes out and gets hit by a car walking across the street. http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/mlb/to...of-the-ordinary And that is why I love Mark.

Without getting into micro's, my favorite beer right now is the new White Wing by Shiner Bock. It is what Blue Moon wanted to be, but failed at. It is sooooo good.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 7, 2015 -> 08:34 AM) They have cut back because it takes it's toll, but I think it is possible they have cut back as much as they have because he really had not pitched in many games. He was fine without it his first few starts. I think we will see his slider percentage increase a bit from it's current levels. I also think his command is a bit off lately, and that could be because of the lack of spring training as well. You had to figure it would catch up to him at some point. I was pretty surprised he was as effective as he was when he first came of the DL. I wouldn't be too worried about his last 2 outings. Last night Sale really struggled with his mechanics. He couldn't stay with his release point, and he just generally looked uncomfortable.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ May 7, 2015 -> 04:08 AM) Dave Cameron said in his chat that the Astros have an interest in Shark. I think unless the Sox are getting Correa, which is never going to happen, I think that Houston is a bad trade partner for the Sox. There are probably 28 other teams in baseball that have interest in him. He is a darned good pitcher.

DE-TROIT SUCKS!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) The Bulls under Thibs are 3-0 in Game 1 of series against a LeBron James led team in the playoffs. They are 0-9 after game 1's.

So who does Chris Sale throw at now?

The last two days we have been doing better on working into counts.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 6, 2015 -> 04:57 PM) Was game 163 in 2008 just a dream?!?! Forget it, he's rolling.
