Ok, give up a run, make three outs and get out of there.

That would be sweet if Mitchell fixed something in his swing and now he's on the right path to the majors. That would be huge for the Sox. An outfield in a couple years with Mitchell and Thompson would be appealing. Keenyn Walker would be gravy if he turns out too.

For the price and what he brings, that Fukudome signing was pretty solid.

Think the players even give a crap today? Stay injury free and get on the plane.

Interesting Gameday feature this year... There are "Scout notes": "Humber having trouble locating slider" "Happ getting a favorable strike zone"

In front of a couple hundred fans, De Aza with a lead off double, Lillibridge walk. Dunn facing left Happ, strikes out swinging.

QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 11:29 AM) Grab some bench rios. Is this a sign of things to come? When he made that play coming in last night, he seemed to say "ow" after that. It may be nothing though.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 09:21 AM) Is it just me, or is the minor league season starting earlier, relative to the major league season, than usual? I seem to recall last year it was like 1.5 weeks after major league Opening Day that the full season minor league squads started up. This year, they are starting at basically the same time. Yes, I noticed that yesterday when I looked at the Charlotte schedule. MLB should have started a week ago. It shouldn't coincide with the Masters.

Reed should close. There I said it again.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) Sonava b****!! Hawk just said Weather permitting, the Sox start on Friday. Opening Day rainouts are no fun at all.... He probably said that because of what happened today. The forecast in Arlington for Friday is fine. Saturday night, possible rain. Sunday is good, and the forecast for Cleveland is ok so far. Sox come home 4-2, and Peavy beats Fister.

It's on CSN. Tomorrow's day game is not.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 01:19 PM) Not giving it to Johnson...interesting Johnson is opening the Miami park tomorrow night. It's a one game series with the Cardinals for some odd reason.

DVR alert... Buehrle starts Thursday opening day in Cincinnati. 3pm on ESPN2.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 12:37 PM) Yeah, there's an article on whitesox.com that says that. I could be wrong, but it looks like Charlotte will have the following rotation: Dylan Axelrod Terry Doyle Charlie Leesman Doug Davis Deunte Heath The only other guy that could be a possibility is Donnie Veal and I don't see that happening. Honestly, the only logical reason Castro is starting in AA is to gain some confidence at a pitcher-friendly park. There is simply not enough to block him from going to Charlotte fairly quickly. Wonder what happened with Scott Olsen this spring? I didn't hear one word about him.

This is the lineup for Tuesday in Houston. May be what Robin has in mind for Friday: 1. De Aza CF 2. Morel 3B 3. Dunn DH 4. Konerko 1B 5. Pierzynski C 6. Rios RF 7. Ramirez SS 8. Viciedo LF 9. Beckham 2B

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) Intimidators roster is up. http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=2...sp&sid=t487

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 05:58 PM) 5 game suspension for Jiminez If he takes his medicine right away, he could pitch the last game in Cleveland vs Danks.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 04:22 PM) Dash roster is up. http://dashboard.mlblogs.com/2012/04/02/da...-winston-salem/

Game ends with a flight to Houston coming, and Harold Baines still stops to sign for a few kids. Good guy. 13-18 Cactus League record. /fin

Think they're ready to go? Pretty funny... http://twitter.com/#!/CST_soxvan/statu...930823059095552

Does a pitcher pointing up on pop-ups actually help the fielders?

Cain's money: 5 mil to sign 12: 15 mil 13-17: 20 mil 18: 21 mil opt or 7.5 buyout That's a lot.

5-spot. Friday can't get here soon enough. Has Merkin started his fluff piece on AJ and Paulie returning to Houston for the first time since 05 yet?

Rongey's partner off to a great start...saying Danks is starting. Uh, no. Floyd is. Of course Rongey says nothing.

They changed the lineup. Conor Jackson is starting. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?g...mp;mode=gameday
