QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 11:12 PM) Then sick back dude. Lots of today's coming at you. Personally I think we gel and take a step towards 90. I like the energy. Pretty optimistic - but it's possible. I do believe a vast majority of the weakness we've seen in this team will be naturally addressed in a short time. IE: Starting pitching tightening it up, defense coming together, bullpen control coming around. There's lots of room for growth. 90 wins this year or not, the step is the important part of your statement. Unequivocally we'll do that. My crystal ball already showed me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 07:42 PM) I know it's early, but ON PAPER this bullpen has to be one of the worst in baseball. We did beat a horrendous Minnie team 2 of 3 in our own ballpark which is good, but I can't imagine winning more games than last year with this bullpen. Good teams are going to feast on this pen I would think. I realize it was cold out and probably hard to throw strikes, but we don't have squat in the bullpen this year. On a glass half full side of things re. the bullpen, I guess Nate could get it together and be one good piece of the pen. Control has been the main issue. They'll shape up soon.

It can only get better. We've only seen three games fellas.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 10:25 AM) cott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 41m Webb is unavailable today. Told me yesterday he's ready for extended relief work if that's what's asked of him. WTF. Talk about a conflicting statement. That's like saying... I said I don't like bananas today. I said to the ice cream man, give me a banana split if you've got bananas please.

Thank god it's no longer April 1st. I don't have to ignore thread titles like "Avisal Garcia 's dog bites sluggers penis. Threatens a young career - retirement possible" GO SOX!

I was surprised that Ventura didn't pinch hit in the bottom of the 8th when the Twins brought in the LHP. Figured it woulda been a perfect time to get Paulie out there for opening day.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 03:53 PM) Angels pitching coach broke his leg on the ceremonial first pitch. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_...ial-first-pitch I saw that last night. Pretty freaky.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 28, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) That would be horrible for his development. I'm already worried for Semien, as Merkin wrote in an article the other day that Marcus will likely be the reserve infielder when Beckham comes back. Both Micah & Marcus need regular at-bats, and quite frankly Johnson shouldn't be getting those above AA. And I say that as a huge Micah Johnson fan. Hence the reason I said: "Probably not the best idea for his development but hey, I'm a greedy speed prospect whore like that."

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 28, 2014 -> 01:55 PM) Final roster moves after the game. Dig. Hoping for Johnson over Garcia. Probably not the best idea for his development but hey, I'm a greedy speed prospect whore like that.

QUOTE (Grindersrule @ Mar 25, 2014 -> 02:30 PM) Flying in from Hawaii for first couple of games. Looking forward to a fun season. Go SOX! What island? I'd been living on Kauai and Oahu for the past year before having a baby... That brought about a move back near family.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) They shouldn't send him down. Why do the Sox owe Gillaspie anything? Like the poster above stated, it's all about service time. Plus, Gillaspie didn't really have all that bad of a rookie year... Did he?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) I guess you have to pitch someone. Oouuuhhh oouuhhh! Pick me!!! Pick me!!!!

His numbers look good. Why would the Reds want to trade him? If we did pick him up - wouldn't that mean one more of our SP's is on the move?? Things ta make ya go hummmm.....

Thank Jesus. Less than 7 whole days until White Sox BASEBALL! That sound so juicy. My Son's due date is in 8. Whoa.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Feb 13, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) Ah, it's the common Beer Snob, Homo Confusialis. I could s*** in a bucket and hit it with a blender, throw some hops in that, and as long as I charge $4 a bottle and put a label on it to make you feel nice and German you'd sip it with your pinky finger up and mutter at all satisfactorily at your s***ty little sweater-wearing poodle "Ahhh good show old chap" etc. etc. etc. High Life & High Life Light, Miller Lite too, are all good, honest beers at tasty prices. Go drink your s***ty turd beer & me a& wite will be outside in the bushes at 3 in the morning pelting your house with eggs & s***-filled paper bags. Good honest behavior at a tasty price. Seriously? Miller, Budweiser, Busch, pretty much all common American lagers are piss water. If you want to get drunk at a low cost with no real care for taste... Steel Reserve.

I had no idea Jacob May was related to Carlos Lee. Interesting.

Yawn. Is it Saturday yet?

Thought I remember reading that they want to hold onto Delgado and stick him in their pen.
