Can we get Rios up there and hope they don't notice?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 11:16 PM) Just woke up. I enjoy this game. LOL, this along with your thread had me chuckling. All is good in the universe, as long as Quinarvy is enjoyin it.

LOADED FOR DONKEY KONG!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 11:12 PM) Are Sox fans convinced DeAza is special? I think he's damn good. Deserving of 500-580 at bats. I'll take him as a full time CF/#1 hitter.

Young gunz!

I'll take it!

Beckham needs to bunt.

Morel!

Two hard hit balls this inning, I hope he has enough in the tank to close this out.

Looks like everything is falling for Alex Rios right now!

Alright, time to focus on Sox, with the Blackhawks season over. (hopefully I will eat crow later). Has anyone said it yet? DONKEY KONG!

You don't mess with Stealth Elf!

Alright, job well done. Let's get this win!

ALEX f***ING RIOS!

Can we bring back White Sox pitcher / player of the month? I think this was around in 07 or 08.

Well at least the bullpen is rested, get us a lead and don't be afraid to use it!

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 04:25 PM) What the hell is this team doing, today? I'm sure you're not in your best shape when hungover.

Wow. That should be Lillibridge all the way

McEwing being agressive as always, hey look Brent did something. I think Brent and Gordon will hit enough to stick around.

How overpaid is this guy seriously.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:53 PM) I don't want us to get ahead of ourselves, but ESPN gives us the fifth best odds in the AL of making the playoffs. I want to get tickets early. Way too soon! Let's play the games. I'm thinking about going to the Red Sox game on Saturday which would be my 3rd game this month. I was only going to do a game a month. Appreciate the game.

Gotta love the base running there! Good to see Brent do some damage at his home town!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) Ha and i have no idea what JDINAA means excepts the John Danks is not ... ?? John Danks is not an ace. Used to be Mark Buehrle is not an ace.

Sale strikes out 11 Mariners in White Sox victory By Daryl Van Schouwen on April 21, 2012 12:37 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks SEATTLE -- Chris Sale improved to 2-1 with a mixed performance that was good enough. Sale allowed three runs in 6 1/3 innings but had his strikeout pitch working. The lefty, in his first season as a starter, fanned 11 Seattle Mariners in a 7-3 victory. "I was sporadic with my control at times but I have to give it to [catcher] A.J [Pierzynski],'' Sale said. "He really got me through that game. I threw one changeup for a strike. He came in the dugout and said, 'hey someone frame this ball for him.' That kind of stuff makes me smile and relaxes me a little.'' The Sox tied a season high with 15 strikeouts. Jesse Crain fanned two and Hector Santiago and Matt Thornton had one each. Sale (3.50 ERA) gave up seven hits and walked three and pitched out of trouble. "I've got a lot of positive reinforcement around here from people who know what they're doing,'' he said of making the transition to starting. "I just lean on them for knowledge and support. It makes it easier when guys are telling you the right things and pushing you in the right direction.''

Hey Beckham and Morel contributed as well.
