Trade Beckham!

Cliff Lee managed to blow a 6-run lead in the span of two innings down in Texas. Soxtalk's favorite player Alex Rios with a big 3-run homer.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 09:32 AM) Finally, the last ever episode of HIMYM tonight. Finally is right, although I feel like I will miss it depsite all my complaining about it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 01:56 PM) He did close before, so that makes some sense. Which may make him more attractive to teams at the trade deadline if he does well.

Matt Duchene is out 4 weeks with a knee injury, so he may miss the first round series against the Hawks.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 08:54 AM) Derek Jeter is a first ballot HOFer who has multiple WS rings and was the captain of the Yankees for years. He has conducted himself with nothing but class. The hatred he gets is beyond confusing to me. He is exactly what you would want your sports heroes to be. Yup.

Anyone else want to get in on this? - Yes Record and runs scored after 100 games? 45-55, 380 runs Who will represent the Sox at the All Star Game? Sale Paul Konerko total plate appearances - 175 More starts at 2B this season--Gordon Beckham or Marcus Semien? Beckham More starts at 3B this season--Conor Gillaspie or Matt Davidson? Gillaspie Date of Matt Davidson's first game with the Sox? September 2 How many total homers will the Sox hit? Last year was 148. 165 Jose Abreu's traditional numbers AVG-HR-RBIs in how many games played? .265 - 19 - 68 in 140 GP Number of Felipe Paulino starts - 18 Chris Sale's win total - 17 Will John Danks be on the White Sox in August--yes or no? - yes Will Adam Dunn be on the White Sox in September--yes or no? - no Will Adrian Nieto stay on the 25-man all year (DL counts)--yes or no? - yes

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) Almost everything on B/R is now written by paid writers, including several top-notch sportswriters that they've snagged from NYT and other reputable publications One of those paid top-notch sportswriters need to know that slide shows suck and cause people to avoid reading your articles.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) They've done it like 6 or 7 straight years, so I don't see why it would be any different this year. Usually first week of the season and first week after the ASB. Sweet, that's what I'm hoping. Seeing Dunn strikeout in an online game tracker is not the same as watching it unfold live!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 08:07 AM) Alas, only 18. Since Opening Day wasn't really yesterday, or today, or tomorrow for some teams. It was actually two weeks ago halfway around the world, so he already had an inning pitched officially.

Anybody know if MLB Extra Innings has a free preview to start the year again? On the West Coast for a few more days so was hoping to watch today

Q said he doesn't think it's serious, calls the Captain day-to-day, but we all know how hockey injuries go. "Upper-body"

Congrats Rock!!!! Never pegged you as a fan of Jordan Palmer and Thomas the Train though.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) Ho-le s***. Never even realized this was named after United Airlines. I guess I just assumed it was a generic name. HAHAHA. As a stoned teenager, I remember watching the 1997 NBA Finals and having no idea that both the United Center & Delta Center were named after airline sponsors. Like you said, I just thought it was a generic adjective. At least I was only 14 at the time, so that's a good excuse.

f***. Brooks Orpik just ended the Hawks season.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) I guess the schadenfreude articles about Caliparis struggles were a bit premature 7 days ago it was impossible to win with one and done players. Not so fast my friend.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 02:54 PM) Meh. As long as Randle and Harrisons are there. Deep breath. And they have McDonald's All Americans just stashed on the bench.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 12:38 PM) Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 1h Just under 3,000 seats available for White Sox home opener (supposed to be in the mid-60's tomorrow) You know when it's bad when Opening Day isn't sold out yet.

Wow, is this thread for real?

10 point final with a 10.5 point spread, gotta love it

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) Taken after Jared Mitchell. (Sorry. Couldn't resist.) And 23 other guys but only the Sox are idiots of course.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 28, 2014 -> 11:40 PM) Big 10 has a great chance to get their first national championship since MSU. Michigan and MSU should both be favored (although MSU has to play a road game essentially)...and nobody would be shocked with how well Wisconsin has played the last 6 weeks if they went on to beat Arizona. Talk about the kiss of death

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 28, 2014 -> 11:55 PM) I just don't understand baseball's need to give a contract like this. 10 years is just flat out stupid. I mean in 4 years (which is a long time) he might have a bad back or something and be DONE. It's just unnecessary to pay this kind of money to a fricking baseball player. Baseball players would play for a million a year if they had to. For the most part, they are not rocket scientists. Baseball owners slay me. Some of you don't remember the day you could actually go to a baseball game and park for a couple of bucks instead of 25-50 bucks and didn't need to shell out 59 bucks for a halfway decent seat for a meaningless April game. Baseball was never meant to be an elitist sport as it has become. Ridiculous. I guess the team gets to purchase insurance in case he can't ever play again after a serious injury; I'm assuming they at least will do that. You can take the train to a Sox game and buy a ticket for maybe ten bucks. If you spend five minutes on an online survey, the Sox will give you free tickets. You complain that the Sox should spend more money, yet criticize every team that signs a big FA.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 28, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) Especially when rival gangs show up to shoot DeSean and take out Jeffery/Marshall, too. Haha, well done.
