QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:51 PM) LOL, just remember to eat crow when the 22 year old in RF ends up being a good player for the Sox. Unlike Viciedo, Garcia came up as an outfielder so this is what it is.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) You do not put a bad RF and move him to LF it is the other way around. No its not. I saw Garcia in the outfield last year and he looked shaky and I see that he is no better this year. Remember when there was a thought that he could be a CF....

I am starting to like Garcia less and less.

Viciedo should start with DeAza moving to RF. Other than that I have no complaints other than Tyler Flowers is god awful.

Boy I wish the White Sox had someone on the bench that could hit a little better than Flowers as that would be a nice spot for it. Flowers swing is very loooooooong

So it was trap the umpire called him out and then replay showed a trap and the guy gets second?

Didn't Jones have issues to begin last season as well and was on the verge of being sent down?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) the leadoff walk amazing just like spring training.

Has Dunn gotten a ball out of the infield? The pop foul was close Monday but these are the guys he should be making decent contact on.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) So you'll agree with me in a couple weeks when it's clear this is a firm platoon that it was a terrible idea? Why would a platoon be a terrible idea? Putting a young player in a position to succeed seems to work fairly well.

3 episodes into House of Cards and the Kevin Spacey accent kind of grates on me from time to time. I also can not decide if Robin Wright is hot or I just think she is supposed to be hot. Other than that I think I will really like it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 12:52 PM) Yep. Exactly. Don't watch the show but it seems to me there never really was a game plan for ending the show and working the mother in? The show denied everything kind of like Lost and then ended in a way that it should have worked toward for a few seasons.

You want to see a slow swing, Tyler Flowers, he was god awful. Dunn did not get the ball out of the infield. Security was tight at the park as there was a rumor floating in the Chicago Police Department that Obama may be attending the game.

While not well versed on the statistical workings of Matt Lindstrom he looked pretty good yesterday. That slider will get out a ton of lefties.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 25, 2014 -> 11:35 AM) So you think you find a 2nd line center to try...then you move your 2nd line winger to the 3rd. Without Kane, we need production out of Sharp. Can't leave him with Handzus. Either try it with TT or stack the first line. I think the Handzus line is the second line but that is beside the point. Not sure why they think Handzus needs to be with scorers as he does nto seem to help them score . Also Regin went from second line center to fourth line winger really quick.

Just heard listening to Stern that David Brenner died over a week ago and he was not mentioned

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 23, 2014 -> 09:59 AM) Anyone still going with Vikings? I was glad to see Logatha and Bjorn back. I can't wait to see what happened to the Priest. Trying to find time saw a couple last year and liked it.

I think there is some fluff in touting of Theo and the cub system but I think there are a couple of really good options down there. The steal will be Olt who seems to have gotten everything right again. The issue in Chicago that I have is that these guys are being spoken of as sure fire can't miss guys. With hitters there is always a risk that any small flaw can catch up to them. Baez made 44 errors last year.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Every episode of The Goldbergs has something I can relate to and I'm a 90's kid. Great family show

When Thome was in the booth during the Dodger game you got to see what Hawk could do. It was very good.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Mar 18, 2014 -> 11:02 AM) Don't think PJax can turn that franchise overnight, but if he can start making moves at the beginning of the offseason to steer them toward the right direction, it will be enough to convince Melo to stay. Has Phil Jackson ever constructed a roster? I suppose he can learn from Michael Jordan on how to go about building a franchise.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 15, 2014 -> 09:36 AM) Yeah, I can't tell if they are floating until the playoffs, or just don't have that extra spark this year. The black hole at second line center is massive along with the fact bickell sucks.

Real good move if he can stay on the field. First time Peanut should put on a pair of shoulder pads is the opening game. I wonder if the Peanut to free safety talk will be had.

The confusing thing to me is why is this stuff coming out so many days later. I am curious as to how often these things are turned off and how unless it is in tact at he bottom of the Indian Ocean is there no signal from something (i.e. blackbox).

Baez needs to find a position. He is not a middle infielder
