It'll work itself out as the season goes, but I'd rather see Dunn hit 4th.

9pm start Floyd starts Lillibridge LF, Beckham 2B, Dunn 1B, Quentin RF, Rios DH, Pierzynski C, Ramirez SS, Milledge CF, Morel 3B The Battle of Millibridge.

When the Sox get back from Oakland on May 15th, I'll take 21-20. It's a tough schedule the first couple months. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) I'd imagine 10-17 in April could be tolerated if they're back to .500 by end of May...but that's pushing it.

Just looking at the rotations of some of the teams the Sox face in April, it looks like Buehrle's first three starts will be against Fausto Carmona, David Price (home opener), and Trevor Cahill. Last year for Buehrle to start on Opening Day? This, of course, is if they avoid rain and blizzards the first couple weeks.

So it looks like they're sticking with Humber for April 6th. Probably better off facing KC than the Rays. How about five starts for Humber, and Peavy debuts May 2 vs Baltimore? I could live with that.

Yeah, probably. Humber was shaky out there today, but the Sox are stuck until Peavy can do...whatever it is he does. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) I hope not. Marquez is garbage. Humber was a top prospect, had surgery and now has a new pitch. While I don't think he'll contend for the Cy Young, I think as a fifth starter for a month, he should do OK. If the Sox are .500 in his starts, they are ahead of the game.

Marquez is starting Saturday. Maybe if he impresses he'll move ahead of Humber. Technically, the Sox don't need a 5th starter until April 9th. They may have a little more time to figure out what they want to do. Unfortunately they're dealing with two pitchers that don't have options.

Feliz should start. Rangers are going to suck this year, I think.

Humber vs Garza Sox:Pierre LF, Vizquel 2B, Dunn Dh, Konerko 1B, Rios CF, Quentin RF, Pierzynski C, Ramirez SS, Morel 3B Cubs:Fukudome RF, Castro SS, Byrd CF, Ramirez 3B, Pena 1B, Soriano LF, Barney 2B, Hill C, Garza P

Opening Day is a week from today in MLB, but the home opener is two weeks from today. Looking at the long term forecast, this might be a horrible start to this season weather-wise, including Cleveland next weekend. Long way to go though. http://www.accuweather.com/us/il/chicago/6...?mnyr=4-01-2011

Good hustle by Milledge to run over toward the line and get the ball into 2B. See, I can pay him compliments too.

I wanted him to call him s*** King, like from the movie Flirting With Disaster.

^ Oh brother. Just shut his ass down for a week and think May 1st. Is it that difficult?

Sac fly for Pierre. 4-2 LA, 5th

This PA guy sounds better than the other day. That guy sounded like he worked at Cliff's Film and Broadcasting Ranch for Wayward Boys in Unincorporated Grundy County.

Teahen catches a pop up to end the inning. The bronx cheer started before he caught it.

Wow, Teahen sucks at any position.

This broadcast is where it belongs...on the internet.

I have to hand it to Teahen...he can hit a little bit. Overpaid bench player, but he can be a valuable player.

Danks real sharp thru 2.

Melton---James Looney

He's been doing that all spring. Hands look lower too.

I've been one of the people that has called out Milledge about taking off his helmet, and I can assure you that if anyone on the Sox did that, no matter what they looked like, I would call them out on it. There's just no good reason to take the helmet off before you cross home plate. Walk off homer? Sure, go ahead. The game is over. But to be half way down the 3rd base line and removing the helmet to show the world that you just hit a homer is a bush league move. I don't care what color he is...and I'm not going to defend him just because he wears a White Sox uniform either. Just in the name of fairness, I hate the bat throwing Pierzynski does too. I think he acts like an ass a lot of the time.

Danks vs Lilly Sox: Pierre LF, Beckham 2B, Rios CF, Konerko dh, Quentin RF, Pierzynski C, Ramirez SS, Teahen 1B, Morel 3B LA: Furcal SS, Gwynn, RF, Uribe 3B, Kemp CF, Loney 1B, Thames LF, Barajas C, DeJesus 2B, Lilly P

And then he hits two homers off Carmona on opening day, and everyone is happy. Expect .380 OBP and 40 homers, with about 175 K's. That's who he is.
