QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 06:12 PM) Personally, I love it. Nothing like being undefeated for another 40 hours or so. If you lose your first game, then I agree it's horrible. Good point. When you win, it's bad, but bearable. If you lose, sitting on that loss for 40 hours is real bad.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 06:11 PM) Now comes the horrible Tuesday off-day. So sweet last year not to have that. I understand why, but it's the WORST. It so is the worst. How about the Indians and Blue Jays though. They don't play until tomorrow night. Everyone in baseball will have played before them. But yeah, the day off tomorrow sucks.

Bill Melton sticking with calling him Chris Sales. Seriously, the best they can do is Melton and Frank? Unbelievable.

PTC was Flowers. Wednesday...Paulie. It has been said.

Awesome game for the Sox. Sale is special. Please stay healthy. Please stay healthy.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) I think we will face Buehrle in one of the games in Toronto. That will be....weird. If their rotation holds, it will be Buehrle, Johnson, Happ, Dickey.

My conspiracy theory is that the Astros move is a test case for radical realignment. You watch, ten years from now, the Sox and Cubs will be playing 19 games a year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 10:23 AM) I just saw that we get lucky to miss Strasburg...and instead face two guys who had lower ERAs than he did last year in Gonzalez and Zimmerman, plus Haren isn't a pushover either. Strasburg, Gio, Zimmermann vs Gio, Zimmermann, Haren I'll take the latter.

Would I be stupid to say I hope Hawkins is good at High-A, but not too good? I just hope the Sox don't rush him in an attempt to market the next Harper or Trout. Because he probably isn't.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 09:01 AM) BASEBALL! BASEBALL! BASEBALL!! Any chance today's game is on a national TV channel? If your TV package has MLB Extra Innings, it's free preview week.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 08:41 AM) Nice break missing Strasburg. Yes, just hope the nationals don't get a rainout this week.

Probables for the first two weeks: vs Royals 4-1 Sale vs Shields 4-3 Peavy vs Santana 4-4 Floyd vs Guthrie vs Mariners 4-5 Quintana vs Beavan 4-6 Axelrod vs Hernandez 4-7 Sale vs Iwakuma at Nationals 4-9 Peavy vs Gonzalez 4-10 Floyd vs Zimmermann 4-11 Quintana vs Haren at Indians 4-12 Axelrod vs Masterson 4-13 Sale vs Jimenez 4-14 Peavy vs Myers

Let's do this! Pick to click today- Tyler Flowers Also, watch out for Alcides Escobar. Absolutely owns Chris Sale.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 31, 2013 -> 07:52 PM) Moving Houston only affected two divisions. Moving Colorado or Arizona would have affected three. So?

I did my playoff predictions. Here are my award winners: AL MVP: Miguel Cabrera NL MVP: Matt Kemp AL Cy: Justin Verlander NL Cy: Stephen Strasburg AL ROY: Manny Machado NL ROY: Jedd Gyorko AL Manager: Joe Madden NL Manager: Bruce Bochy

And this is how spring training comes to an "end", so to speak. Actually this is pretty funny, and Veal's comment made it funnier: https://twitter.com/DylanAxelrod_33/status/...128616225505280

Axe gave up a few runs in the 8th, but he was just getting stretched out. 47 hours...

5 shutout innings for Axelrod. May need him to do that vs Felix next Saturday.

Beckham double to RF gap Wise RBI single Short double Brandon Short has helped himself this week.

Brandon Short with an assist. Having a good week.

Out of the two games, last night was the better game to go to. Looks like the regulars will get two PAs and be out.

Error by Beckham, homer by Weeks. Get it all out today.

Ventura confirmed Crain will be on the roster, so after the game the final 6 cuts will be made--Omogrosso, Troncoso, Gray, Anderson, Tolleson, and Bell.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 30, 2013 -> 10:42 AM) Unfortunately, we might have to choose between him throwing 240 and winning the world series MVP. Such a trial we have... 240, 241...whatever it takes

Floyd and Axelrod pitching For his sake, I hope Axelrod looks good. http://baseballpress.com/lineup.php
