Hawk gets off on lead off walks scoring. Good or bad.

Suzuki is officially a sox killer

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) Home run in his first at-bat Good story, wrong team.

De Aza had great at bats this spring. Keep it going.

Garcia is one of those guys you have to remember he's 22. He comes off older because he's been in the postseason, but he's still young.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) Abreu is a strong man. He's one of those guys where the field and the fences aren't big enough for him. Incredible power. Gotta be emotional for him today. Same with Daniel Webb.

I wonder how that show after HIMYM will be? Probably familiar.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) Wind blowing out HARD to LF. Wouldn't be surprised to see Abreu's first bomb today with his plate coverage. Here's to hoping! Last year Nolasco gave up two on opening day to Bryce Harper. 4 would be nice. Abreu, Dunn, Garcia, and Flowers. Get off to a nice start.

Dan Hayes tweeted about this... http://deadspin.com/comcast-sportsnets-whi...e-464898838/all Now we know the real reason behind 2013. edit: don't even watch it. Bad mojo.

Could be interesting with the wind and Eaton playing his first game here.

Bryce Harper slid late and took a knee to the head. Shook up.

Matt Lindstrom is the closer? This will go as well as Matt Thornton as closer. Webb by June, as RockRaines said.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) The guy had a .305 obp last year with a .695 OPS. Adam Dunn would make 100% more sense (.320/.762). Anyone would make more sense than Conor f***ing Gillaspie. I thought Abreu was just going to be the everyday 3-hole hitter, but we'll see what happens today. Could be a year where there's 130 different lineups.

Anyone who boos Dunn during intros or before his first AB is an idiot, and a bad fan.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) Why on Earth is Conor Gillaspie batting 3rd. L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R-R If he goes 0-4 with 7 LOB, this may be the only game he starts in the 3-spot.

Twins- Dozier, Suzuki, Mauer, Willingham, Colabello, Plouffe, Arcia, Hicks, Florimon Set 'em up and knock 'em down.

Jeff Soptic for an opening day 3-hole hitter? ok.

Adam Eaton on 87.7...he wants to be in Minneapolis for the All Star Game. He's motivated to be a really good player, which is great.

De Aza-good.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 02:05 PM) Ever watch Fox Sports One? Yeah, me neither. They're doing an in depth story on Jose Abreu tonight during their 10pm show. Anyone catch this? It was a pretty cool piece. You can tell Abreu is no dummy, or somebody you have to worry about off the field. Great signing.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) Just because you're a great player doesn't mean you can't also be overrated and lauded to nauseating levels. The hate for him is mostly derived from the excessive media fawning. The fact that he is "captain of the Yankees" also means absolutely nothing. No one outside of Yankee fans should care about that I agree. It's going to happen, so that's where the remote control comes in handy.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) A 3-4 combination of Abreu and Davis.... I think it moved.

Anyone else want to get in on this? Record and runs scored after 100 games? Who will represent the Sox at the All Star Game? Paul Konerko total plate appearances More starts at 2B this season--Gordon Beckham or Marcus Semien? More starts at 3B this season--Conor Gillaspie or Matt Davidson? Date of Matt Davidson's first game with the Sox? How many total homers will the Sox hit? Last year was 148. Jose Abreu's traditional numbers AVG-HR-RBIs in how many games played? Number of Felipe Paulino starts Chris Sale's win total Will John Danks be on the White Sox in August--yes or no? Will Adam Dunn be on the White Sox in September--yes or no? Will Adrian Nieto stay on the 25-man all year (DL counts)--yes or no?

I tell you what, Stoney... If Andy Wilkins can stay healthy, he's gonna be an impact hitter.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 07:33 AM) Go back to f***ing sleep and dream something different! I chuckled when I remembered it. It was only a dream. Go Sox!
