Given what happened twice in St. Louis, not feeling very confident yet. Can't waste opportunities like that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) Tough guys who don't fight are the worst. Well, Lapierre is a former Canuck. Quite the collapse in Columbus

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) People are shocked how big Columbus is when you look at it. And now kidney punches are legal? I always thought it was the same size as most Midwest college towns. See what happens when you get pucks to the net!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 06:34 PM) About half of the fans in Columbus thought they were going to an ohio state game. Are they all wearing overalls?

Sale seems to be very open and honest about any arm troubles or pain. That's a good thing given how important his arm is to the Sox. (I'm sure the meat head crowd will portray it as a sign of weakness. )

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) Considering all the information you ever needed has been there for ages and you are also paying scouts to follow opponents, it is really surprising shifts haven't been used all that much at this point. There usually has been something in the OF, but the infield rarely moved much at all. It also is a very effect way to help an infield without much range. Detroit the past couple of years for example. I think that's what the Yankees are doing this year. With Jeter, Roberts, Johnson all old men in the infield, they are suddenly #1 or #2 in infield shifts after ignoring it for so long. They realize their defenders have very little range and are trying to compensate for them.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 11:46 AM) It's crazy to think the 49ers aren't going to pick up Alden Smiths option. Well it turns out that Aldon Smith is the crazy one, so it's not all that surprising

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 11:44 AM) I meant the ":08" part, lol. I know it's an hour early It is to honor Eminem and 8 Mile Rd.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 12:35 AM) Why, exactly? Only hitters can talk trash? Pitchers should just take it all day long. Eh, this happens in all sports. Maybe in baseball more, but I think that's because of how the game is set up. Act like a clown, someone's going to have an issue with it, and I'm fine with that. Go play the damn game. How is celebrating the best possible outcome of an at-bat acting like a clown? Fights don't start because Patrick Kane gets on one knee and fist pumps after scoring a goal. I don't see running backs getting cheap shotted for doing a touchdown dance. Gomez should have looked like a clown for not running out a ball that stayed in the park, instead Cole does for getting upset at Gomez for hitting his crappy pitch. That's the thing about baseball, the pitcher has complete control over keeping the ball in the park. It's 100% on him if gives up a home run ball, he should have no one to blame but himself, not the batter for being excited.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 10:53 AM) MLB Stat of the Day ‏@MLBStatoftheDay 1h The @whitesox have scored 106 runs - the most in the AL and tied with the @Rockies for the most in @MLB. Yet their run differential is zero.

CNN is just not giving up on this plane, every morning at the gym I still see them covering it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 11:52 PM) Do you folks think Kansas with Big Cliff is a lock to reach the Final Four? If Kansas adds Myles Turner is it preseason No. 1? Is Wisconsin a viable national title pick? Do you like North Carolina and all that young talent? Is Duke a lock with its fabulous recruiting class? Is Kentucky still the odds on favorite? My guess is Wisconsin will finally win it all. In case you haven't watched the NCAA Tournament before, there is no such thing as a lock for the Final Four in March, let alone 3 weeks after the previous tournament ended.

Veep is so good this season

What did Gomez do wrong? That wasn't showboating at all IMO and I hate the guy. Baseball players are such b****es with all their unwritten rules.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 05:52 PM) Starting pitching wasn't good, just lucky. One hit, two runs (one earned) AT Texas? Lucky or not, that's an awesome result in that ballpark. Way to go EJ, he's done well since his rocky start.

3 games sucks, but given the nature of the game today, can't really complain. And let's be honest, had that been Shattenkirk blasting Toews, we would all be demanding justice

What a perfect weekend, (minus the tragic events in St. Louis yesterday). It's so nice to actually be outside all day. Happy Easter, Passover, and everything else Sox Talk!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 16, 2014 -> 12:03 AM) That Hillsborough 30 for 30 that aired tonight was something else. Required viewing for any sports fan, and really for anyone. Wow. Had no idea they had so much video footage

Last year St. Louis won the first two games at home vs the defending champs, then lost the next four. So you are saying there's a chance?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 04:45 PM) Burls--7 shutout innings vs the Indians 4-0, 0.64 Late career 20-win season would be very cool. Going to need luck, but you never know. Just waiting for the thread saying the Sox should have kept Buehrle instead of signing Paulino. You know it's coming.

Pavel Datsyuk is f***ing incredible

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 08:47 PM) Sure he can. It's the same thing as moving a guy to a different position. As long as he doesn't get taken out, he can move anywhere. Would that require DH to be removed?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) Not writing him off, but . . . don't think he'll be the "monster" some thought. And if that's your opinion, I can respect that. Just judge Hahn on those moves not a project 5th starter or drunk middle reliever.
