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

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 12:27 PM) I highly doubt he would have signed with the Cubs. IIRC, Votto HATES them. Also, Rizzo likely has 1b locked up for the Cubs in the future. Good pint. Just the timing of it in a couple years when the Cubs would be ready to make an impact move.

Reds are working on locking up Votto long term. Guess he won't be the Cubs first big fish under Theo.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 01:43 PM) Hmmm a no name pither. So his first start against the Sox? 7 IP 2 H 0 R sound about right? Smyly's first start will be April 12. The Sox will miss Verlander and Smyly in the opening series at the Cell. Should be: Peavy vs Fister Floyd vs Scherzer Sale vs Porcello No rain please.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 10:06 AM) Then what's the point?? Good point. It's so bad, it's good.

Fire up the plane, boys. Last Cactus League game. 2:05pm on whitesox.com (No Melton) De Aza, Lillibridge, Rios, Ramirez, Pierzynski, Morel, Flowers, Viciedo, Beckham (Floyd)

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 09:33 AM) Do you consider yourself a fan of the show? What are you expecting? This has been definitive Mad Men these first two episodes of the season. If you don't like those, I have zero idea how you made it through the 4 seasons prior. I thought it was fantastic again last night. That's a little harsh. I'm a huge fan of the show, and even I have come away a little disappointed so far. It's just missing something so far for me, but I'm sure the season will turn out just as good as the first four.
