Fre Extra innings. Otahni is about to bat.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 05:46 PM) I don’t mind Benetti at all. I love him and Stone. Maybe that’s because Hawk was absolutely terrible to listen to. Benetti is atleast caught up with the times in terms of analytics. Benetti, if I did have one knock, would be that he is likely forcing jokes because he’s bored. On football, he is wonderful. Maybe there’s just too much down time for him in baseball, but I don’t mind the jokes even if they’re corny. He is good at basketball as well. I just think when he is with Stone, they try to be too silly. It doesn’t have to be 20jokes an inning. A couple an inning just letting them come to them instead of forcing would make it a better broadcast IMO.

Stanton just took Tyler Clippard out about 500 feet.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 05:34 PM) 3 RBI single. You don't see that a lot I would bet there are more cycles and no hitters.

A 3 run single

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 05:18 PM) Nice predictions flavum. By the way, any body else annoyed with the announcing? I can't put my finger on it, but man it is kinda bad, no? They are trying too hard to make it a sitcom.

You have to give Shields credit, after the first 4 batters he has made it look easy.

It is raining and 45 degrees in one of the better pitcher’s parks in baseball, and there are 6 long balls. Looks like the balls are juiced this year.

K.C. and Det are probably both 95 plus loss teams

So the Royals have burned a mound visit. Will they keep a tally on the scoreboard?

This is great, but the fluff that a lesser team perhaps would have quit down 4-0? C’mon man, it’s opening day.

Nice job by Engel after getting screwed on ball 4.

So if you need contact, he will give you contact. Of course he fans on the next pitcch.

This team is going to look really good some times and really bad probably a few more than that.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 01:57 PM) Yeah I also found it very curious that we sent him to A-ball. Would make more sense if he hadn't been in camp for a while and this was going to basically be his "rehab" stint. It could be they had the AAA roster set and didn't want to mess with anyone. He probably goes to Charlotte fairly soon.

The entire city of Chicago is behind you. But good luck. If Loyola doesn't win just for the shear ridiculousness of it, Michigan is my second choice.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 1, 2018 -> 11:53 AM) i understand that Trump showed up and was like "FREE MONEY, IM GONNA GOLF!", but it somewhat surprises me that lifetime politicians like Price, Zinke, Pruitt, Shulkin have showed up and used their positions as black credit cards and it never occurred to any of them that it would be called out. It's more of what I have noticed about Republicans in general. They only care about spending if it is for the poor, or someone not them. If they are the beneficiary, they couldn't care less.

Kaplan was at the Waddle Super Bowl party John Fox attended. A couple of nuggets from John Fox. Says Leonard Floyd is the next coming of Jason Taylor. Also says Adam Shaheen is going to be awesome.

It's pretty obvious Engel is an excellent defender, but he is not excellent enough to ignore his lack of offense. He will have to pick that up significantly.

So Ben Carson is returning the $31k dining set. I wonder if he will bring back the staffer transferred for calling them out on it. Shulkin and his lackies trying to hide taxpayers paying for his wife's European vacation. Scott Pruitt having to fly first class on the taxpayers. Interior secretary Ryan Zinke brings his wife along on military jets and private planes. All after Tom Price had to quit over basically doing the same thing. Trump drained the swamp and only hired the best.

A quote yesterday from Donald Trump "I'm not into popularity, I'm into getting something done that's good."

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 1, 2018 -> 09:00 AM) Anyway, President Trump set to announce tariffs at meeting Thursday He's expected to announce 20%+ tariffs on imported aluminum and steel later today. Where will Trump get his steel?
