How would you like it if the Sox started their games at 6:40?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) Do pitchers bat in any of the minor leagues? I think when it's two NL affiliates playing each other, they sometimes let the pitchers hit.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 10:59 AM) Contraction will never come close to being a reality as long as there is a player's union. Oakland to San Jose should have already happened. Tampa to just about anywhere would be an improvement. Just a hypothetical question. But if they turned Chicago into a one team city with the Rays moving, and then added two expansion teams- Portland, Charlotte, Montreal (somewhere), it would still be 30 teams. Same amount of teams.

So what kind of gift do you think Paulie will get from the Rockies?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 10:10 AM) Where is the stadium? Let's just say it's in the city limits with beautiful skyline view when the roof is open.

I do wonder if the Sox are safe from relocation. Just based on-- what happens after Reinsdorf dies? And isn't the stadium deal only through 2029? Will the Cell be obsolete in 15 years? Who would be the next owner/chairman? Hypothetical Question (obviously)-- If you were offered the option of the White Sox and Cubs being contracted (both franchises don't exist anymore), and the Rays relocated to Chicago and moved into a new retractable roof stadium that they paid for, and Chicago became a one baseball team city---would you take that offer?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 09:01 AM) No line ups posted yet. This series could produce a lot of runs. Let's take 2 out 3. Go Sox! Win today's game. Everyday. I'm guessing with the no-DH, they'll give Abreu a day off sometime. No biggie if he sits once every 10 games or so.

Here we go... http://www.fangraphs.com/community/why-the...hould-relocate/ I haven't even read it yet, but the first thing I noticed is this dips*** doesn't know the difference between then and than.

Twins are leading the league in runs with 37. Sox are 2nd with the Mariners at 34. Sox lead the AL in hits, with 60. Bizarro World.

Kanny- homers for Engel, Hayes, and Michalczewski

Trumbo hit 5 homeruns this week. edit: 4 games in a row. The first one was in Australia.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) Before the game i said June 1st. The better Conor plays I'm fine with Davidson in the minors. He's 22. Would be nice for Conor to have a good year so maybe we can package him at the deadline Not to nitpick, but Davidson turned 23 a couple weeks ago. I said August 1st for his first game.

Sale was going to start the 9th if it was 1-0.

Averaging two more runs a games over last year. 34 through 6. That's a thing.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 04:33 PM) This Sale kid has a future. Too bad Jeter is going to steal another All Star MVP from him. /cantletitgo

Thank god for insurance runs. 1-run saves are going to be, what? 50% conversion rate?

Funny we're still nervous with a 5-run lead. Last year really did a number, didn't it?

No errors or walks please.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 03:44 PM) Didn't you also call something similar a few games ago? "in 9 minutes it'll be 4-2" or something? I did. Blind squirrel.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) Garcia should be our utility guy the whole year probably. Need to trade Kepp Bold prediction: Keppinger's career is over.

Basto 3-4. Young for high A.

Put up a 4-spot, and get Sale a W.

I love speed.

That's a pitch Tank chases too. Nicely done.

Get em over. Get him in.
