Well, that was fast.

If they think the Chicago White Sox are not going to be in the thick of this, they’re crazy. They don’t know anything about baseball, people who make picks like that ... they know nothing about baseball. Nothing!” Awesome bleepin quote and an absoluetly true observation based on all the heart we displayed in our first week in 2012. Bring it!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 11:36 PM) We need to go just 28-40 from here to match our record against the Central from last year. I don't wanna see them match it - I want to see them blow it out of the f!$king water.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 08:21 PM) Well, the first sign of recovery would be quality contact on foul balls so we'll see. I'm not holding my breath. This year is no doubt a make or break for beck.

Beckham's swing looked butter smooth on the drive he roped foul in today's game - almost akin to the path he was taking in 09... Then again, it was a foul ball. Maybe a faint reason for hope. Get it done Gordon - just kill it. Start slaying the ball and forget the ladies for now. Green: Maybe if the coaching staff locked him in his cup for the season he'd start hitting again.

Yup - MLB.tv is in action. Sweet. LET GO SOX!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 12:40 PM) Well, personally I have MLB Extra Innings on DirecTV, so I can go to channels 721-740 and see if the game is on there. If Fox has a game exclusively, it never gets a channel there. I'm far enough away that I don't have to worry about any local blackout rules, which is the other issue for some teams. Ah, very nice to know. Even thou I don't subscribe to the Extra Innings package - they still display the listings. So for future reference I now know that looking at the listings on TV will shed light onto Saturday day games availability on MLB.tv. Maybe this thread helps clear things up for others too. Thanks Balta.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 12:23 PM) The game has a slot on Extra innings, so it will be on MLBTV as well. The fact that the Yankees/Halos was early was the trigger. Good, I dn't have to send my angry email yet. Hey Balta, How do you check to see if the game "has a slot on Extra innings"? Thanks, -T

I think that it should be on as someone mentioned... The 3pm start might be key. f*** FOX. We'll soon find out! Thanks for the tip Colorado.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 09:32 PM) Wait, since when is tomorrow's game on FOX? In the past at times on Saturday games they have been blacked out from MLB.tv even if they aren't being shown of FOX. This is due to FOX holding rights to them as backup games. It's horribly lame and full of caveats which I do not understand completely.

That's what my fear is. There is a slim hope I think in that the start time is 3:05 compared to the 2:05 start that FOX is carrying. It'll be really bleeping hard to convince myself it's a night game and watch the replay. Gurrrrrrrr

Howdy folks - can you all tell me about MLB.tv and FOX on Saturdays. I remember from years past that this conflict would put a hitch in my getup from time to time. However, I can't recall what the exact situation is. Bottom line - will I be able to watch the damned game on MLB.tv tomorrow or will I be left plotting the death of FOX? Thanks! I can't wait for more white sox baseball!

Anyone hear what it ended up being? I couldn't hear on the broadcast.

Anyone know what Hector's walk out music was?

Whoever said Dayan is a hack in the outfield = mistaken

Noodle Arm who?

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 11:56 PM) I still believe that an edited version (shorten the intro) of AC/DC's For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) would make an excellent closer's song. True that

-Ozzie That pretty much says it all.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 6, 2012 -> 07:31 AM) Leaving work early. Got some Zombie Dust for the game. Pretty excited. Zombie Dust?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 6, 2012 -> 05:59 AM) Don't know how the hell I'm gonna watch with little to no sleep, but dammit I'm watching. Same here - I went to bed finally around 4:30am

Note sure if I'll be able to sleep much tonight - the night before the first SOX game of the year is much better than Christmas Eve used to be as a kid.

Is it Friday yet? Oh, that's right - one me damned pesky day! I woke up today in a bad mood... tomorrow - I'll wake up thrilled! GO SOX! Take it to the whole league!

Yawn. Bye bye Ozzie - good riddance and thanks for 2005.
