An 8 year old was killed in that bombing? And they're pulling ball bearings out of people? Jesus...at least that puts the White Sox game in proper perspective.

Santiago might end up pitching more innings than most of our starters at this rate.

11 baserunners, 10 outs recorded.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 03:33 PM) Random Dumb observation: I wonder if any announcers have been told to refrain from calling any Home Run "Bombs" or "Blasts" for tonight...? Did that happen in OKC (with the AAA team's announcers) after the Federal Building was bombed by McVeigh? It will be a sad day in American history when common words and phrases can't be used because of their terroristic implications.

LOL at Buehrle aiming for the 2 hour game, but Gavin's gavin-ness causing it steer more in the 3 hour direction.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 06:30 PM) Beckham went through spring training with the Sox, he'd be making plenty of bonehead mistakes too. Well, Gordon never reached the mythic proportions of Crede....and the inevitable comparisons when poor Mark Teahen tried to play over there.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 06:27 PM) Up to 12 for 78 with RISP! Shouldn't the average be rising with Konerko and Viciedo getting 1st inning singles with RISP?

Should walk Konerko intentionally to face Dunn, lol.

Comedy Central should take Sox games away from WGN/Comcast.

What are the odds of scoring 2 runs here? 5-10%?

Don't get picked off again or you'll be on a plane back to Charlotte before the end of the night. Then again, nobody seems accountable on this team for the lapses, so you'll probably start again tmrw because of the 2 hits.

Pretty soon...it will be, Beckham would have had that ball, Beckham could have thrown him out from there...Beckham would have turned that double play, lol. Although if Gillaspie continues to hit 300+, nobody will complain about him. That won't stop people from comparing him to Keppinger, though.

Perfect, the Japanese 2B/SS whose offense was too woeful for even the Mariners is joining the hit parade. We can blame it on DeAza preferring not to play CF, lol. Dying a slow death from 1000 paper cuts due to poor fundamentals again. Is there any evidence the team or coaching staff actually went to AZ this spring?

Speaking of just stop... Courtney Hawkins, 0/2, 2 more K's. By my count, that's 20 already on the season.

At least Viciedo didn't strike out and he went the other way....there's that. We're beginning to lose any reason to hope for the "good" Dunn, or at least the first half 2012 version thereof. Another Alexei Ramirez opposite field hit. Thankfully he's present to start the season, unlike most past years.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 06:01 PM) That curve has NOTHING on it at all, just cement mixers rolling down the middle In other words, it's rolling down the Wacky Waters waterslide and not right off the table? Maddening. At some point in June or July, he'll throw a near no-hitter and win 3-4 games in a row and everyone will pull their hair out. He's like Edwin Jackson in many respects....drives you crazy.

By the way, there's ZERO excuse for a 30 year old, veteran/journeyman in Tyler Greene to EVER get picked off by a LHP with a great move when you're not in a million years going to be stealing 2B in the first place. Wait until the ball is going home... How many just DUMB plays is it so far this season?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 05:57 PM) Sox need to sign a Joe Calico. I'd settle for John Grisham or Bernard Malamud at this point...Roy Hobbs is a pipe dream. Washington taking out their weekend hangover on the poor Marlins...and another snow-out, who'd a thought with April home games in COL?

7/13 against Floyd. Yay!

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) three. Maybe he liked the food more in Miami...then again, he's a Missouri boy, so being in Chicago was the closest approximation except for St. Louis and KC barbeque. And the last year's been more stressful with the dog issue as well as living away from his wife and kids.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) Only park I dislike more is Comerica.

Lucky we're not down 5-2 at this point. Buehrle, 98% of the time when he escapes early damage and settles into a rhythm...well, we know that story. Been there, done that.

Maybe they meant TOO FAR INSIDE or AT THE KNEES, rather than merely "knee high."

We think our offense is bad or inconsistent....but the Rays have it worse than the Sox. There's zero reason to pitch to Longoria. He actually had his first homer and first XB hit today. 4-9 is their worst, or one of their worst, starts ever.

I guess Don Zimmer already saw the movie (42) and said, if anything, that it was a lot rougher than portrayed in the movie...in terms of his treatment and the conditions of that time period. Dave Wills also pointed out that it took the Red Sox 12 years of non-integration before their first African-American player. Zimmer said that Jackie was really hard to get close to and kept his distance, but that they were buddies because of their common love for golf. And that anything in the movie had to first get approval from Rachel Robinson.
