QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 01:14 PM) I think the opposite. No one seems to care any more because the Cubs have been bad for so long. Even my Cub fan friends can't stand talking baseball. Agreed. The rivalry is at as low of a point as I can remember. At least since interleague play started.

Real nice start for Carroll in the first two innings. Real nice movement on his pitches, really peppering the strike zone. Only 22 pitches through 2.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 12:50 PM) For a hitter? A week in the minors probably suffices. lol.

So sloppy and careless today.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 12:41 PM) Unless he continues playing this well, I would think a team would sign Stephen Drew before trading a Texiera-type package for Ramirez. Except Drew is still a free agent, hasn't played at all this year, and would need how long to be in game shape? Every day that goes by means he is a another day further away from being a ready to go baseball player.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 12:31 PM) That's because he is playing very well. If the Ramirez of last year comes back his trade value slides. Usually guys have high trade value because they play well. Even if Alexei isn't hitting .350, the guy has a ton of trade value. With the scarcity of respectable SS's around baseball, getting a plus defender, a plus baserunner, and even an average hitter is a big deal.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 12:16 PM) there's a big difference between "nothing" and Texeria-type package. Outside of the true core guys, Alexei has more trade value than anyone else on this team. In a rebuilding situation, you have to maximize that, if you are going to trade him.

Oh hey Bulls, the game started already. K? Tnx.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 12:09 PM) For a 33 y.o. SS having a career year (month)? Good Luck. The problem is scarcity. How many other SS's are out there on the market? I know dumping Cubans for nothing is in your gene's but it doesn't make sense.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 11:55 AM) I wouldn't trade Alexei, but if they do, they better get a hell of a lot more than they got back for Peavey and Rios combined. A hell of a lot more. They had better be looking for a Texeiria type return.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 11:00 PM) Those two are both head strong and refuse to back down, it isn't a rivalry as much as two guys that love a good argument. Don't make me come down there.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 02:17 AM) I'm getting closer and closer to buying my first new car. It's kind of intimidating since I don't know what to expect. I'm still not sure whether I'll lease or buy, but I know I've narrowed it down to a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wrangler Unlimited or a Dodge Charger. I'm 24 and building credit, so I don't know how my credit score will effect my interest rate and what kind of loan I might qualify for. Capital One does prequalifications for auto loans on line if you are close. They will tell you what credit line you qualify for and what your interest rate would be. Going from there you can go backwards to get your payment with a compounding interest calculator.

WHITE SOX PURCHASE CONTRACT OF SCOTT CARROLL; TRANSFER AVISAIL GARCIA TO 60-DAY DISABLED LIST FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sunday, April 27, 2014 CHICAGO – Prior to today’s game vs. Tampa Bay, the Chicago White Sox purchased the contract of right-handed pitcher Scott Carroll from Class AAA Charlotte and transferred outfielder Avisail Garcia to the 60-day disabled list. Carroll, 29, is scheduled to make his major-league debut this afternoon against the Rays. He will wear uniform No. 67. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Carroll has gone 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA (4 ER/23.0 IP), 13 strikeouts and a .228 (18-79) opponents average in four starts with Charlotte this season. He did not allow an earned run in 19.0 IP over his first three starts of the season and was named International League Pitcher of the Week for April 7-13. Carroll is 27-38 with a 3.95 ERA (281 ER/639.2 IP) and 385 strikeouts in 138 games (107 starts) over eight minor-league seasons. A native of Kansas City, Mo., he originally was selected by Cincinnati in the third round of the 2007 draft and signed with the White Sox as a free agent on July 12, 2012. Garcia, 22, was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a torn labrum and avulsion fracture in his left shoulder suffered on April 9 at Colorado attempting a diving catch. He underwent successful surgery on April 15 but is expected to be available without restriction for the start of 2015 spring training.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 51m Looks like Konerko will be in the lineup today and tomorrow.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 38m When Scott Carroll comes up to pitch Sunday, Avi Garcia will go to the 60-day DL to open a 40-man roster spot. Still not official though. Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 54m Nothing new on Sunday's #WhiteSox starter officially. But @JenLada hears it will be Scott Carroll. Robin Ventura said let us know tonight.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 18m Grant Balfour told Tampa reports no ill will was meant toward Paul Konerko. He was upset with himself for the walk. Balfour: I totally respect (Konerko). He’s a great player. It was definitely not toward him. ... Just what I do. Just what I’ve done.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 02:32 PM) Babe Ruth was a rookie that year, but didn't hit any homers. I wonder who that was. That could also be as far back as they have accurate records.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 02:16 PM) any improvement on Nate? Haven't seen anything new.
