Just for giggles, why not lead off Gillaspie? Maybe go: Gillaspie, Keppinger, Rios, Konerko, Dunn, Ramirez, Danks, Flowers, De Aza Just mix it up a little.

DeMichele--might want to start hitting, any day now

Coats 2-2, hitting .389 at Kanny.

I'm rooting for Zaleski to get a call this year. That would be a nice story.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 05:56 PM) Mental break for Courtney, per the Dash directly. So that's step 2. 1. Drop him down in the lineup 2. Sit him down for a couple days 3. Move him to Kannapolis, where he should have been to begin with.

Yeah, they did the right thing even if they could have started at 9 or something. Looks like the Tigers/Royals are in a delay. I don't know why they're even trying. edit: they called it. 17 postponed games in the last 14 days.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 04:40 PM) They just played in Colorado with the first pitch temp at 23 degrees. Crazy April.

Charlie Leesman chose free agency over the Rangers.

I could be wrong, but by 8 tonight, we could be wondering why they didn't play. But I guess making more money later in the year is more important.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) Comiskey Park Hitmen ‏@CPHSox 6m Former #WhiteSox Pitchers starting today: Bartolo Colon for the A's, Jon Garland for the Rockies and Clayton Richard for the Padres. FYI. Sweaty Freddy is facing Charlotte tonight.

Tigers have called up Bruce Rondon.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 12:09 PM) No way this happens btw. Well, yeah. That's why this slow start basically has ended their season before May.

Yeah, we're pretty much at the mercy of what we're seeing until mid-June. They either turn it around fast, or just stop watching.

If you know how much snow Minneapolis got, this is pretty impressive... https://twitter.com/Twins/status/326722935836520448/photo/1

If the Sox go 42-26 from here to July 8, all is forgiven. You can't count on them being a second half team playing the Tigers 19 times the final 75 games. That's why this slow start is important, and it does matter.

Rongey caller saying Hawkins should come up. Talk about not knowing what's going on. wow.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 10:27 PM) YIKES Heading toward 1998-1999. Hey, they made their bed.

A-14,950, in case you were wondering.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 10:05 PM) I really hope they don't rush him. Just put a plan in place for him to return in August, and go from there. I'm not expecting much from him this year, but I think they want him back by June. Sounds like more extended spring this Friday, and then maybe a few minor league games, whatever they're allowed before being activated. He'll rush back, and be on the DL again by the break. That's what I'm expecting.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 10:09 PM) I know we talk about DFA'ing people a lot, but I'd love to see the Sox just release Thornton. I had to vent. I realize fat chance that will happen. If he had a monumental bad first half, it could happen.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:48 PM) You responded to my original comment sunshine network...............you added the 7th inning to my comment. OK

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:44 PM) They had the lead I never said 7th inning. Then why did you respond to me saying they haven't lost a game after leading after 7? (please don't respond)

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) Had the lead in Twins game and lost. Not after the 7th inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) Addison Reed has been great this year, so clearly Ventura wanted Thornton to face Cabrera. Paint by numbers managing.
