QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) Maybe it took time for him to get the feel for it with the cold weather. Good point. It is miserable out there.

Hawk and Stone were wondering why he wasn't throwing any curveballs. Then he does and mowed them down.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:10 PM) Eaton's a good baserunner but not a good base stealer. At least this time, the throw to get him was about as perfect as you can get.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) You've officially gone off of the rails. Another great post. You have some real good ones.

It is worth a shot.

Flowers with another broken bat hit. He is on a roll with these.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) De Aza coming around perhaps? I think he stands too close to the plate. He has been better the last few games.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) The words "De Aza" and "big hit" don't go together. You were saying....

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) If they can get five innings from Hanson next time around, why not? Unless he says he's not ready--which I would doubt. I don't know if that is a good bet.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) Rienzo is no good. No different than Axelrod. He is better than Axe. But long term he is a reliever.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) I thought he still worked with Walker down in Georgia, no? No. But Walker was a groomsman in Beckhams wedding.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) I'm a fan of him bringing back something that helps bring us another pennant. Just don't think he'll hit over .240 in the process of doing that. We shall see. You are thrilled each time he makes an out. You aren't fooling anyone.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:24 PM) Let me guess, Beckham JUST missed the concourse on that flyout? Lined out to right center. Must suck being a Sox fan rooting against Sox players.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:24 PM) I see that Beckham has given up on the squat stance he used last season... He was Steversons pet project this past offseason.

Beckham is smoking the ball. Just a matter of time.

Steverson looks like Earl Woods to me.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:19 PM) So Rienzo didn't field it cleanly...then got a second error for the XB, allowing the runner to 2nd? Shades of Clayton Richard there. Might as well bring him back, too. When he was in his 40s and playing with the Yankees, Tommy John once had 3 errors during one play.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:15 PM) I know. I was being facetious. There's so many posters here who adhere to the no bunt policy. These conditions are ideal for bunting. Joe Maddon bunts early like Ozzie. Yanks relief pitchers cruising after 10 pitch innings to insert his closer like dumb Robin, and tinkers with his line up daily like the tinkerer, Jerry Manuel. Yet some think so much of him the want his bench coach to manage the White Sox.

Rienzo is fooling no one.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) Bunts never work! Maddon bunted in the first inning.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 06:56 PM) Are you Gordon's agent? Just stating a fact. Sorry.

His last 6 AB Beckham has hit the ball hard 5 times and walked the other.

The better the White Sox are, the more times they beat their division foes, which makes for fewer wins needed to win the division.

Another crazy part was even after the stuff I posted came out so many years ago, this guy was still collecting awards from the NAACP.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 12:22 PM) The awesome part is they went to the bar/pub for dinner. That is a solid move by Dunn. Home of the Holy Water.
