QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 02:28 AM) THUR. Humber vs. Doubront FRI. Sale vs. Bard (two of the most promising young pitchers in baseball, Bard came out of pen Monday night vs. MINN) SAT. Lester vs. Peavy (great test for Jake) SUN. KFC Beckett vs. Floyd No Buchholz. He pitched very well against us last year, but he's been getting rocked in 2012 so far. Isn't Bard in the bullpen now?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 03:14 PM) The White Sox' +18 run differential is 3rd in the AL and 5th in the Majors. Another cool tidbit: we've given up the second least amount of runs in the AL so far. Only 4 behind the Rangers. We would be first if it wasn't for that Orioles game Santiago blew.

I'd like to see the Bears sure up the d-line or o-line in the first few rounds. Then possibly go after a wideout like A.J. Jenkins in the third (might not be there by then).

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) I actually do think that Jake would take a discount to make up for the checks he cashed when he wasn't producing. I don't know why, but I believe when I hear him say how disappointed he's been in his performance. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I think he would take a discount and stay here. He does seem like the kind of person that does genuinely feel bad about what happened with him. But baseball is a business and I don't know if he would be so generous if he has a great season and can get way more money on the open market.

Let's go Gavin, time to man up.

QUOTE (onedude @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 02:56 PM) If the Sox look like they're going to compete for a spot in the playoffs, do they bring up another starter to go to a six man rotation to protect Humber, Sale, and Peavy? I don't think that would be a terrible idea if it came down to saving them for a chance at going into the playoffs. Who's that other starter...? If the other starter degrades the quality of your rotation, what's the point? Right now, the Sox have 5 guys who can win on any given day. That's a luxury most teams don't have.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 02:52 PM) With all due respect, you are insane. You said: "He turned on your team and he turned on you ... He wasted your time, he wasted my time, and he made the White Sox look like a bunch of idiots." You also said: "Your inability to recognize this makes you the Ozzie Guillen board troll, and also makes me wonder why you don't just root for the Marlins." 1.) He didn't waste any of my time. Last year was the only year I regretted my mlb package. Our team sucked big time but we still finished close to .500 as I recall in the worst year in memory. 2.) I haven't followed Ozzie or his team at all. I did follow the problem he had with the Castro stuff. Yeah, I'm a troll. I'm definitely a troll. Oh, so he did waste something of yours...

Sox have the third best run differential in the AL right now. They've given up the second least amount of runs. Had Santiago not blown that Orioles game, the Sox would have given up the least amount of runs in the AL.

Oh and we're tied for first in the Central. Boo-yah.

10-6 after 16. Not bad, not bad at all.

Peavy looked like he was running out of gas a bit in that last inning, but he got the job done. Helluva game for JFP.

Gameday isn't working, updates anyone?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 09:57 PM) Checking Gmeday and thery have this thing called "Scout" that pops up with in game info. It said that after 45 pitches Colon's effectiveness starts to slip Maybe that thing isn't so useless after all.

Donkey Kong doin' damage!

This Jake Peavy guy is really good. 3 Ks in 2 innings.

It totally sucks that I don't even get a chance to watch the game since it's on CSN++++++ or something.

Santos to the DL. Looks like Kenny sold high at the right time.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) Who's that Rodriguez guy throwing 100? Clippard really shut the door on the Marlins in the 8th, Hanley Ramirez was overpowered. He was brought over in the Willingham deal with Oakland. That guy can throw major gas. Once they get Storen back, that bullpen will be even better.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) Phillies about to end their 13 game winning streak in PETCO Park. Cory Luebke has to be an early favorite for NL ROY, or Rookie Pitcher of the Year. That kid can deal. And his stats will always be skewed by playing 1/2 of his games in that mausoleum, same with Clayton Richard when he first went over there and everyone was complaining about how well he was doing. But Luebke's a legitimate top-of-the-line starter. BTW, have NESN, WEEI and the Boston Globe websites been shut down, as well as THE SONS OF SAM HORN? Luebke is not a rookie. I had him on my fantasy team last year. He's very good.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 07:16 PM) Pineda had his first minor league tuneup today, threw 15 pitches, felt discomfort in his shoulder, and was immediately shut down again with no return timetable. Looks like the Mariners ripped the Yankees off.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) Someone asked if 2K owes Humber a million dollars. I think that's only fair. He gets to get inside Kate Upton...same thing.

I get the feeling Valentine will be fired this season.

Red Sox bullpen = awful.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 06:13 PM) I watched the first five innings and then my girlfriend made me go out to eat with her parents. I may have to rethink this relationship. Also, ESPN just said AJ caught Buehrle's perfect game. Wasn't that Castro? Yes, it was Castro.
