QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) Matt Harvey beat Strasburg tonight. I hope the Sox miss him in May and June. It's so weird to play 2 two-game series against an NL team.

I didn't think it was possible, but Bostonians have become even more insufferable after this week.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 06:17 PM) It was one bad start, out of three, and it was against one of the best line ups in baseball. The Sox have won 2 of Axelrod's 3 starts, and in those two starts he gave up 2 ER. I would take that from a 5th starter anyday.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) Julio Borbon is on waivers. I don't know. He could have been a good pickup for the future, but he's not the answer to replace Viciedo today.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 18, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) I just ran through this with my students. Comparing the West, TX to the Boston Marathon bomb. Three dead versus 15 or more. About the same number of injuries. A couple buildings with damaged windows, buildings and homes destroyed. Which will be in the news for weeks or months then anniversary stories a year later and which is already out of the news in some areas? Boston will raise millions for a city that will survive without the help. West, TX may be destroyed. I completely understand why the bombings get more coverage, but I agree that West, TX needs the money way more than Boston does.

From the evidence I have seen, it seems like the older brother was the brains & motive behind the operation and he convinced his little brother to join the cause.

CNN just announced that the White Sox-Twins game will be played as scheduled.

Surprisingly, Deadspin had been a good source of news throught the week.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 10:40 AM) "WHAT I THINK IS WRONG WITH THEM!? BEING LOSERS." Uncle Ruslan is the man!

So if they are surrounding a 60-year old man, does this mean the kid is long gone?

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 09:33 AM) Ok. I give up. I'll just accept your assertions that Grady Sizemore is not a viable option, and that he won't be a factor for any team in 2013. Please suggest someone to take Viciedo's place, if he is out for any extended length of time. While you're at it, it might be a good idea to find a left handed hitter, instead of yet another one who hits right handed. Moreover, it would really be great to find someone who could bat in the middle of the order. The Sox have that middle of the order left handed hitter you are looking for. The problem is that he has sucked for 75% of the time he has been with the Sox, including now.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 09:38 AM) Russia has done a lot of damage in Chechnya. Although I doubt the bombing in Boston has anything to do with that long standing conflict. Russia's worst war crime in Chechnya Oh, absolutely. Unfortunately, thousands of innocent Russians have paid for what their government did to Chechnya.

Chechnyans have done a lot of damage in Russia. Hopefully these are just two kids who went crazy, not the start of more action from them.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 07:51 AM) If this is a muscle tear, or a pull, Viciedo would likely go on the D.L., for an extended period. Then maybe my wish for the Sox to sign Grady Sizemore, for the second half, might come true. I know that many on this board think that he is finished, but at 30, I would think that he would still be an offensive force. I'd love to see him bat right in the heart of the order: LF de Aza 2B Keppinger RF Rios CF Sizemore 1B Konerko SS Ramirez DH Dunn C Flowers 3B Gillaspie Great defensive outfield, improved OBP, better balance of right and left handed hitters, and more speed. Not this s*** again...

Absolutely

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2013 -> 02:51 PM) It's based on a radio interview where Buster Oney said that the Cubs make sense as a trade partner with Tampa. I disagree, as there's no way Tampa gives him up without acquiring some top-notch pitching prospects, which the Cubs have none of. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) Disagree, as Soler and Baez are 2 of the better offensive prospects in the game, and scouts love Almora. Their farm system is top 15 now in nearly every publication I believe. So the Rays would never trade Price to Cubs because of their lack of pitching prospects, but the Cubs system is so good that they can definitely trade for Price?

Wait a second. So the young high school track star DIDN'T do it??? I'm so confused.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 18, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) Division champion rings, woooooooo They should have all gotten division champion tattoos. I hear there is a great tattoo parlor in Columbus that practically gives them away.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 18, 2013 -> 05:36 AM) So, its definitely that time of the month for Mother Nature. Those bastards never open the sewer gates in time. 4-5 inches of dirty water in basement. Took 30 minutes to fill up, 15 minutes to drain out when they opened up.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 09:43 PM) Felix-Scherzer has 1-0 written all over it. Seattle will win 1-0 because Scherzer throws too many pitches to go 9 and the DET bullpen will blow it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 03:55 PM) I love it when the Braves can pitch. It feels so Nineties. When they get swept out of the playoffs because of their boom-or-bust lineup, it's gonna feel so 90s too.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 08:58 PM) When they homer...7-3 When they don't...0-5 Some things never change

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 09:09 AM) So it's racist and fear mongering for news outlets to report on fact. Got it. The only racist was the bystander who tackled the Saudi man running from the scene. As opposed to all the other people who were running away from an explosion.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 08:21 AM) The Lakers and Utah games should be interesting tonite. Over under on Lakers free throw attempts: 45 That was the story of the GS game until Kobe broke down
