QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 02:29 PM) Man, some of you act like Danks gets lit up every start. Makes you wonder if they realize other teams don't have Cy Young contending 5th starters, but most of the punching bags were sent away. This one remained and they have 152 games to keep punching.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Prefer 5 years of Saladino to 2 months of a platoon hitter. If I'm right on Saladino, it would allow them to trade Anderson for a good hitter (not a platoon hitter) with perhaps some extra years, instead of wiping out everyone else in the farm, if they have to. We'll see what happens. Sox love to trade with Billy Beane. Interesting thing about Frazier is that he spent 4.5 years in the minors before he hit the majors...and that was as a college draftee. For every one of the guys who became legit core players for contending teams after sucking it up until they were 25 years old, there are hundreds, and probably thousands who did not. All your prospects on Oakland lead them to 68 wins last year and 4-7 this season. In another year they will become heroes playing for a s***ty team and will need to be traded for more mediocre prospects.

He's playing in loving memory of Drake.

The Bulls did not renew the guy who was Benny the Bull the last 12 years contract. #accountability

One of the new CSN women called the home of the Cubs Wrigley Park. I think I am in love.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Awesome pitching performance. I'm not sure how much longer we can win games like this. All year. The 2005 team won the opener, the first game after the All Star break, and the clincher all 1-0. They will start hitting, but if Latos isn't a mirage, and they stay healthy, this team is going to be tough.

I am glad they didn't trade or suspend spSale for popping off to KW.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) Yeah those bags outside the stadium are like half the price and double the size. Even cheaper at Jewel.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) Give me a break. There are legit organizations and I'm sure his trip was a part of it. http://www.slaverynomore.org It's Adam LaRoche who was a strikeout machine and barely hit .200. For some, if he spent last winter curing cancer he would have done something wrong and obviously had another agenda.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 09:01 AM) My bad, I read that first line. It's not like he's 21 so who really knows if he will hit, but it is one of the few White Sox position player prospects the last decade you can say is fundamentally sound. For a while, when they brought guys up, it looked like they had just taken up the game in the past couple of years.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 06:07 AM) he's still a big f***ing idiot. ten bucks says jesus freak got busted with a ladyboy. Spew your prejudice somewhere else.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 08:07 AM) you know who has a career minor league OPS of .608? Tyler Saladino That's his major league OPS. But it is interesting how much more he seems to be thought ofwhen he went from probable starter to utility guy.

The Twins are already 7 games out.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) Don't forget Emilio Bonifacio who was re-signed by Atlanta. There you go. If used properly he's a stud. It's a good thing Steve Stone never was a GM. If he had Todd Frazier and talked to other teams about trading him, they would think he was someone else.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Like to know how many times three teams from the same division started the season 6-2 or better the first 8 games. Probably only a few times. Considering it's been 61 years since the Sox and Cubs both started out 2-0, I think you're right.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) I wonder if Atlanta would be open to a Navarro for Flowers trade if we kicked a prospect in as well. Make it a bigger deal. AJP and Flowers, and Beckham for Navarro, Avila, and either Lawrie or Frasor.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) I'm with you, I hate designated inning roles for relievers. Use your best relievers at the most critical moments. I love it. If guys know they have the 7th or the 8th or the 9th, they can prepare better in game. Besides, not all guys are built to get the last 3 outs. See Matt Thornton.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:48 PM) 16 straight scoreless. Sox pitching is good, but not THAT good. Twins lineup is just awful. That line up is a GreenSox wet dream. Except for hero worshipping the only guy who is hitting Mauer, prospects and more prospects.

Is Latos throwing any harder this start?

Eaton has been really good in RF so far.

Being a Twins fan right now must really suck. 0-8, the team striking out so much. Is the 1 pitch out to lead off a game a positive because he didn't fan, or just more negative? If the Sox started out this bad, it would be pretty unbearable.

How many runs can Latos give up today before he will be referred to as trash that needs to be replaced?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 10:43 AM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 1h1 hour ago Sox bullpen is 1-0 with a 1.27 ERA, 22 strikeouts and a .151 opponents average over 21 1/3 innings. That's a Kansas City special.

Why is Sands in the game. Thanks Robin.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:57 PM) Right, he backed off. Adam either forgot that KW backed off or intentionally omits it. He might not have backed off until LaRoche said he was retiring. We will never know.
