QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 01:46 PM) Ubaldo hasn't looked this good since his Rockies days. Told you the Sox should have signed him.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 01:45 PM) Sox are 29 in majors in runs with only 60 and that being only 2 more from last. They are last in hits. That's pretty sad They have also played fewer games than most teams.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 01:43 PM) With men on base you have to, otherwise you walk runners. Abreu's throw put him in the situation to half to throw strikes and that's when good hitting teams take advantage. If nobody was on like that second at bats he can pitch to his game and get outs. Bottomline, if Abreu makes that play or even gets 1 out their they don't score. Funny, with nobody on, he walked De Aza. That inning, he was awful. 6 hits allowed. If he can't pitch with men on base, he isn't going to be any good. $100 million pitchers pitch over errors.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 01:30 PM) Somebody needs to rip Abreu for his bonehead move to open the floodgates, but I am sure RV will say nothing to rock the country club atmosphere under his watch! That Robin. It's really all his fault.

You can take the boy out of Wrigley Field, but you can't take the Cubs out of the boy. Samardzija's agent is probably trying to call Hahn right now. Rick is playing the bad connection game.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 01:20 PM) He has had great moments and WTF moments. Mostly WTF as of late. I think it's time to let LaRoche put a glove on for a couple of games.

I wonder if they did this in Chicago with no fans, if they still would have fireworks after homers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) And if one of them were to get hurt while leaving the park at 5:00? Like someone said earlier. Make it Bat Day. Problem solved.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 12:45 PM) It's the right lower outside....so definitely not the posterior tibialis, I looked up all the diagrams and that stretches from the outside across the bone to the front/inside (right?) Is it normal to have shin splints in just one leg? Have you considered having a doctor look at it?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 11:57 AM) DGB is alshon jeffery. He was on Polian's stay away list, along with Randy Gregory.

I hope the Bears take Amari Cooper. Polian said he's Reggie Wayne with speed.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) Do the Sox know they're allowed to release Jared Mitchell? Unless he is taking someone's spot, there are plenty of non prospects in Charlotte. Once they need the space, I'm sure he's at the top of the list or pretty close to be let go.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) I'm guessing there will be a number of news helipcopters hovering above Camden breaking the silence. Someone just told me they were piping in crowd noise. I have no idea if it is true.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) Every GM in baseball saw that coming the day the contract was signed. Bullet (and a huge one) dodged by the White Sox there. Why? He needs TJ surgery. For some reason he tried to avoid it, but as you told us, TJ surgery is no big deal. He'll be back 100% in no time.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:14 AM) Police crackdowns and curfews aren't exactly good for business. edit: should point out that the rumor wasn't that they were starting or encouraging riots but that they were banding together to take out police officers. If people are actually believing the Crips and Bloods to be the voice of reason, Baltimore is in a lot worse shape than anyone realizes.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:06 AM) You'll get posts and statistics about whatever fits their current agenda, but anything you counter them with they'll claim is made up. I mean...what the f***, we've devolved to a point where people are actually listening to the Crips and Bloods? Yeah, the local drug dealer is all about keeping the neighborhood from going to hell.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 09:38 AM) With the poor defense of Avi in right field I was thinking maybe they should give Brian Anderson a 4th try. He could really add defense in the 4th outfield spot. Thoughts? He'd be awesome. I'd also like the Sox to consider bringing Crede back. He was walking OK at Soxfest. The years off probably helped his back, and he is much better with the glove, even at less than 100%, than Gillaspie And Freddy Garcia is available. Would make a fine emergency starter, and I am sure he is better than Danks anyways.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 04:48 PM) Does anyone here know if the Sox players still come to the ball park to work out? Just curious. I read that they did today. Now they have some free time to do some looting.

I went to a White Sox/Rays twi-night DH many years ago. When we got there in the top of the first, one step into the concourse we could hear McKay Christensen calling for a ball in CF. There couldn't have been 100 fans in the stands at that point.

So those milestone HR paydays ARod is supposed to receive would actually cost the Yankees an additional 50% as they are over the luxury tax.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) Lol like that will work with hundreds of angry people. Did you not see anything that happened yesterday? Big difference between people in a riot and some just milling around. If there are rioters at the gates, even locked, I bet they won't play.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) There is a street that runs right along the concourse in the out field. In order to get on the street you have a gate from I think both ends. I know when we went last year you walked into the gate at the one end and was able to walk the street. The street is pretty much part of the stadium. I'm sure they will have security out there telling people to scram.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 02:19 PM) My question to all of this is...why the hell can't they play today? They don't want to have 2 games without concession sales. The White Sox are working out at Camden Yards today.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 01:53 PM) FOX Sports: MLB @MLBONFOX #Orioles announced schedule update Tomorrow's #WhiteSox game closed to public 2:05pET Weekend #Rays series now in TB Wow. No fans at tomorrow's game. That's what I thought would happen when they locked the gates last night. Just let the 600 or so in.But I can understand they didn't want to be at least partly responsible if when the game ended, the area was not safe.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) Anyone care to speculate what the players preferred? Would they really have wanted to drive to the stadium and play? They were at the park Monday and were scared. But this just makes it more curious as to why they stayed status quo. Is anyone surprised today's game is not being played? Will you be surprised if they stay in Baltimore tomorrow's won't be played? If I were a player, I would prefer not to be in Baltimore at this time.
