QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 03:37 PM) Ok, the Garcia baby announcement thing is probably the happiest thing that will happen in our ballpark in 2017. Prince Fielder should have announced it.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 03:33 PM) It will certainly be easy to find the stupid people. We're better than this. A rebuild takes years. Day after the trade deadline. Four months of the guys they got. You can evaluate and make observations periodically as the next few years go by.

It's going to be interesting what the consensus is on the state of the rebuild on August 1st.

Rebuilding is the right move. Keep saying it.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 03:18 PM) The back end of the lineup is just horrible, but that's mostly by design. Exactly. I'm rooting for these guys to be good enough to keep playing. Nobody wants to see May hitting .134 a month from now. But .234? Sure.

Team USA/ Mariners pitcher Drew Smyly hits the 60-day DL.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) Abreu needs to be a full time DH. That needs to happen asap, and if he doesn't like it, tough noogies.

Narvaez is the epitome of warning track power.

I expect after 6 starts, Quintana will have an ERA around 4, and trending in the right direction.

Kinsler is a guy that if he stays healthy could start to sniff HOF consideration in a few years.

Game day has the Sox leading 5-3. Wha?

Q had four garbage starts last year. Hopefully this is just one of his four this year. He'll do better next Tuesday in Cleveland.

Team Puerto Rico's/ Mets pitcher Seth Lugo has a tear in his UCL.

Good chance Quintana will face the Indians in their home opener next Tuesday.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 09:54 AM) Based on the weather, it may be that this is the only game we get in this series. 100% chance of rain tomorrow, 60% Thursday. Friday's series opener vs. the Twins is in jeopardy as well due to cold/wind. Friday, I think they'll get through it, but it'll be uncomfortable. But after today, the Sox aren't playing until then. The Tigers can go home tonight if they want.

We need fresh mojo. Let's forget about yesterday. Quintana vs Verlander https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/848937052917903362

They literally could send the Tigers home after today's game. No way they play Wednesday or Thursday. So let's get a win today. Go Q.

MLB Network is airing the game tomorrow.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 05:48 PM) Twins just kicked the Royals' ass. Nice. Sox fans should want the Royals to be good this season. But we also want the Twins to be slightly better than the Sox.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 05:43 PM) Yea I don't get it either. I'd be fine even doing interleague, just go somewhere warmer and drier than Chicago first week of April. I pointed this out earlier, but what's the difference between the first week of April and the second or third? Not much. It's a good thing they schedule teams that are coming back. If the Pirates got weathered out in Boston, then it would cause more problems.

Junior Guerra started today, and now he's on the DL.

So do they bring back the Mustangs?

Sox Tigers is the only day game tomorrow.
