Funny thing is, Throw away opening day, Davisdon pretty much has Moncada’s numbers.

Amazon has scammed America to only pay sales tax in 45 states. Trumps online site,whe they peddle made in China merchandise, pays sales tax in 2.

It’s going to be a while. They will have their moments, but there is a lot of work to be done. Coop has a lot to fix. Strikes seem to be an issue right now with his youngsters. Their first verbally rssults hav not been that terrible, and inLope’ case quite good, but all those walks will bite you in the end, and need to be cleaned up. Davidson was due to come back to earth. It will be interesting to see if he is for real, if Yolmer, Leury, Engel are legit. I just think there are going to be stretches they will look like the worst team in baseball, and times the look like a playoff team. Unfortunately they looked pretty bad especially considering who they were playing, the last couple of days.

Bad game. Amazing it was only 6-1. 12runners without gett8ng a hit. Yolmer botched an easy DP that cost a run and Giolito a ton of pitches, and a nearly non existent offense vs, pretty good pitcher. All in all a boring game for White Sox fans.

I just took my dogs for a walk. It’s cold but should be OK in the sun. Hardly any wind. I would imagine in the park , in the sun it will feel close to 50. It will be one of those games no one will be sitting on the first base side once the shadows start covering those areas.

Machado 2 Yankees 1. He also told the media, he is remaining a SS. He won’t move back to 3B even for the Yankees.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 10:17 AM) Anytime you get shutout it's terrible, and all you have to do is go back to 2015 when they lost 6-0 in their home opener One of my worst was 2007. Sox lost 12-5. Contreras' first pitch was deposited into the seats by Lillian's crush, Grady Sizemore. The entire season went downhill from there. Way worse than yesterday.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 10:16 AM) I get what you're saying but it's possible he didn't attend that one. He said he's been to 48, so I am guessing he didn't miss the first one in the new park with a team coming off a 95 win season adding a couple of big names.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 09:33 AM) 1)Yesterday was my 48th Opening Day. I've been to good games, and bad games on Opening Day. Yesterdays loss was easily the ugliest loss on Opening Day that I have attended. The bullpen blowing the game and the terrible defensive play by L. Garcia was really ugly. 2)When Hahn Traded Robertson, Jennings Kahnle and Swarzak last season he left the team with one of the worse bullpens in the history of the team. At best I thought he might improve the bullpen this off season. I think its fair to say that this bullpen has not been improved. 3) I can't help but wonder if the game plan with this team is to have another bad season which will result in another high draft choice and a even lower team payroll. The White Sox are 28th in payroll and it could probably in lower next year. 4) One of my major beefs against Rick Hahn is his signing players who are not any good and paying and wasting millions of dollars on them. LaRoche, Keppinger, Holland and now Soria were all acquired By Hahn. All of them didn't produce and were paid millions of dollars. 5) Attendance. It was certainly cold at the game yesterday and I'm sure it didn't make anybody come to the game as a walkup. Still to only have 33,000 at the home opener is not exactly anything to be happy about. Most Opening Day tickets are usually sold out weeks in advance. This tells me more and more people are not buying into this rebuild. Yesterdays crowd might be the biggest crowd of the year. 6) I see this so called rebuild going on for years. I wish that JR would sell the team. This is hysterical. This team isn't supposed to contend, how could it possibly be a bigger trainwreck than the 1991 home opener? Opening a new park. Optimism about winning a division, lose 16-0.

A 23 year old Cuban playing in 35 degrees and snow. Not surprising it wasn’t going to be a stellar day for him.

Moncada is clearly a bust. Rebuild is a bust. Team will probably move.

I wonder how many times Yoan has played in anything near this weather

Hopefully Burdi comes back at some point and has no complications. I would imagine Fulmer eventually becomes a reliever. Jones is still around unless they trade him. They have some interesting pieces that if they bomb out as starters maybe they can become really good at getting 3 outs. Maybe they can sign a couple of guys, but they almost emptied it out last year.

They are going to lose a lot of games because of the bullpen this year. Chances are Farquhar won’t be nails like he was today. They have a lot of bad in there.

Seeing a lot of bad plays here. The youth is showing.

They have 4 or 5 guys at Charlotte who will be in the Sox bullpen at some point.

I am sure everyone is hoping for some free baseball, I just hope when the Sox pull this one out Ricky’s boys will not quit won’t be used.

Soria is awesome.

Why does Farquhar pitch every game?

Sergio fired a 13 on the par 5 15th hole. His title defense is OVA

Yankees tried to get Trayce Thompson to AAA, but Oakland claimed him. I really am surprised the Sox have no interest. I would claim him, DFA Saladino, make Leury the primary INF back up, give Trayce some ABs, if he hits great, if not, no one will claim him, you can drop him to AAA. You might not even have to DFA Saladino. He may have an option left.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 12:36 AM) that what I thought too when they flashed his numbers after he came out. How the hell did he get charged with 3 runs? Yes, it wasn't Engel being charged with an error, which should happen. Pierce singled and scored vs. Bummer and somehow the scorer charged Fulmer. It appears they need a new scorer in Toronto.

QUOTE (soxfan18 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:30 AM) Do people here really have no sense of how expensive retractable roofs are? Maybe they could buy a used one cheap.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 08:45 PM) No way Nicky makes that catch there. Great job by Leury Engel might have had it if Delmonico was in LF. At least he would have been the only hope.

What date is Ron’s annual Abreu is trash thread scheduled?
