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!

I had a dream last night Eaton got hurt and was going to be out for 4 months. Happy Opening Day, everyone!

Nieto already retweeted this, so I guess it's true. #17. https://twitter.com/NumbersMLB/status/450382112537853953

Omar Poveda traded to the Nationals for cash.

The US Cellular money has done a lot of good things for the Sox. I wouldn't want to see giant corporate logos on the uniform--that's where I'd draw the line.

Ever watch Fox Sports One? Yeah, me neither. They're doing an in depth story on Jose Abreu tonight during their 10pm show.

Mitchell Boggs returns on a minor league deal.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 12:36 PM) Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 38m Sale doesn't want to step on anybody's toes, but thinks Konerko should start the opener. Says he's earned it. Happy 25th birthday to Chris Sale. 230 innings, please.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 12:07 PM) As of now, I'd go for his top 2 HS pitchers or the Vandy pitcher. I'm never going to have a strong opinion on who they should take, but it would be pretty bold if they took a HS pitcher. If they think a HS kid has the best arm, and they think they can mold him into a big league pitcher over the next 3-4 years, go for it. Or Beede.
