Wow, you talk about 4 guys that need to have good years. Mitchell and Walker---not going to make it. Thompson--maybe, but he needs to put up 5 good months. Hawkins--play well enough to get to Birmingham in 2015. If not, how's his pitching arm?

Sox 30 Clubs in 30 Days is March 5.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Ben Finfer is leaving The Score to head over to The Game. Damn, I kinda called that one. As a baseball freak, I hope they don't pair up Bruce Levine with Connor McKnight, who I can't stand to listen to. Finfer was at least passable, even though he's sarcastic all day, every day.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1h Jose Abreu said he looks forward to having access to Paul Konerko this season. #WhiteSox Yeah, that sounds like something Dan Hayes would ask about. (or Merkin)

Hardly a celebrity, but Drew Denson died last week. He had a cup of coffee with the Sox in 1993. http://www.baseballhappenings.net/2014/02/...aves-first.html

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) 6am? Whats up with that? Tape delay. Besides the 9pm game on March 15, if it's not starting at 3pm, it's on tape delay.

MLB Network will show a bunch of Sox games for the out of towners: 2-28 4pm at Dodgers (2 hour delay) 3-10 3pm at Brewers (live) 3-14 6am at Angels 3-14 11pm vs Indians 3-15 9pm vs Dodgers (live) 3-16 7pm at Rangers 3-18 6am at Brewers 3-18 3pm vs A's (live) 3-19 3pm vs Angels (live) 3-21 3pm vs Cubs (live) 3-23 3am vs Giants 3-25 6am at Mariners 3-26 3pm vs Reds (live) 3-28 6am at Cubs

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 09:28 AM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 37m White Sox slugger Jose Abreu will have his first state of spring training media event this mourning . Levine must be in mourning because he's not on the Cubs.

Hard to believe the Sox have a home game in 6 weeks. This winter just won't end.

Never liked it when an old guy comes from another country and wins the ROY. So I'm not going to care if Abreu wins it. I just want him to have a good season. If it were up to me, you would have to be in your Age 25 season or earlier to qualify.

Gotta love this time of year... https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/434718608518684673

QUOTE (Whitey @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 07:21 AM) I had the chance to meet Jim Fergosi when I was 11 at a car dealership promotion. It was right after Greg Walker's seizure, who was one of my favorite players on the Sox at the time. We talked about that and he signed an autograph for me. I can't recall the details of the conversation, but I do remember walking away thinking that Jim Fergosi was an awesome dude. I liked him ever since. RIP Since you spelled his name wrong, it reminds me when he was hired by the Sox, his jersey had FERGOSI. Fregosi said, "My ex-wife and kids used to misspell it, too--except when it was time to go to the bank".

Fregosi passed away. A credit to Baseball. Rest in Peace.

A couple weeks from games starting and no broadcast schedule yet. Odd.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 01:59 PM) Yeah, I have no idea what world that Paul Konerko would be considered on the same plane as Jeter. He's more famous and has more money. That makes him "classier", and therefore more deserving of gifts. Oh, and they can start engraving Jeter's name on the All Star Game MVP trophy right now. That's his.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 01:44 PM) As much as I love Konerko, Paulie isn't in the same stratosphere as Jeter. I guess if you're in the top 1% instead of the top 2% of your profession and play in a bigger market, then you're more deserving and "classier". It's BS. All of it.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) The Jeter farewell tour is going to be awful. All season long. And considering he played the majority of his career under the heavily unbalanced schedule, I really don't think teams outside the AL East should do anything for him. He played 68 games at the Cell. BFD. Great career, but this gift-giving, ceremony stuff has got to stop. Especially when it's so biased towards the Yankees. I hope the Sox ignore it unless the Yankees announce they're doing something for Konerko.

Jeter and Konerko retiring after this year. Let me guess...the Yankee will get the victory tour.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:16 PM) Didn't Jeff Liefer wear that number? He did. Roberto Hernandez wore 39 for 7 years.

If we can trust the 2-week forecast, this might be the last day with a High under 20. We should get some good melting weather next week too.

While I like them as a novelty, it's time to put 1983 to bed. 30 years is enough for a team that didn't win a pennant. And don't get me wrong, it was a fun team, but enough is enough. As far as uniform changes, I always like the 50's uniforms when I see them. The red trim instead of silver would look sharp. It also might be wise for the White Sox to wear....you know....white socks.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 2, 2014 -> 09:41 AM) I'm pretty pumped to see what Paulino can bring. What's the latest on his health? I've heard Cooper say the rotation is looking like- Sale, Danks, Quintana, Johnson, and Paulino. (not in that order) So he should be ready for the beginning of spring training.

Fact: Opening Day is next month.
