QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Apr 7, 2013 -> 01:27 PM) Nice to see Ramirez contributing this early in the spring. It's the beard.

I like how Beckham is putting the bat on the ball though. Keep making contact.

Well that doesn't bode well for Brent Morel.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 5, 2013 -> 09:34 PM) Hurts your achilles doesnt it? My whole leg.

Does Keppinger ever hit the ball to opposite field? I don't see how he can with that batting stance.

Man watching Kendrys Morales run is painful.

Oh, so it's Opening Day and no one has posted the lyrics to Thunderstruck in the very first game thread of the year yet? Is that how we roll? SoxTalkers?? Are we slacking?

Props. Big ups.

I'll be optimistic and say 92 wins - even though it seems like every team in the AL Central (with the exception of the Twins) has made drastic improvements during the offseason.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 07:39 AM) Taking the Brewers from the AL to NL back to AL would look really bad for the league. Really? Why? I still see the Brew Crew as an AL team. I was hoping that they would eventually move back.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 09:35 AM) I'm quite thankful for the WBC this year--whatever your feelings about it are, it's a hell of a lot more exciting to watch than spring training games, which get excruciating after the first or second one. I'm a baseball fan, so WBC >>>> NFL or NBA or NCAA.

Can't wait for those long summer days when you sit in the couch and veg out watching the ball game with a cold Hacker-Pschorr and the laptop posting in the game thread on soxtalk...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:51 AM) Cleveland went from a 72 win team to an 82 win team, and in the process spent about $120 million. Just like the Royals, who probably went from a 75 win team to an 82 win team. You're right about the White Sox (at least I hope you are), but Cleveland now has an experienced manager who knows how to win, and an excited fanbase that will probably start showing up to the Jake in droves, which will give them more money to spend at the deadline.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 08:52 PM) That's not that bad of a deal. The Indians' lineup is looking a lot better now with Swish, Bourn, and Reynolds. Right now it's probably 1. Bourn CF 2. Cabrera SS 3. Kipnis 2B 4. Santana C 5. Swisher RF 6. Reynolds 1B 7. Chisenhall 3B 8. Stubbs LF 9. Brantley DH They still don't have very good pitching, but that lineup should score some runs. At least the Cleveland is trying to improve. It seems like every team in the AL Central made improvements except the White Sox. QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 05:41 AM) I forgot the Tribe got Stubbs. Underrated behind those guys in Cincy. Your avi is distracting as hell. But it's a good distraction

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 01:52 PM) Amazing. Goes to show you the effect dogs have on people. Goes to show you the effect dogs have on wack jobs. God I'm glad he isn't in a White Sox uniform anymore.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) Seriously? That 8.28 ERA he put up last year scares? Of course not, that was coming off of TJ surgery. His performance in the years before he was injured scares me. Maybe it's just taking him a little longer to fully recover.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 11:22 AM) Indians sign Jason Giambi and Daisuke Matsuzaka. Good times. I'm not worried about Giambi having that much of an impact, but Dice K? That could be trouble for the Sox. At least the Indians are TRYING to do something.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jan 14, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) Hahn's offseason has been garbage. There was a fork in the road and instead of picking a direction he pulled off the road and took a nap... Sig worthy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) It doesn't surprise me at all. I bet he would be a much better pitcher sans Ozzie. I agree. I'd take him if it didn't take that much to get him.

Now the Tigers are going after JJ Hardy. All of the White Sox's division rivals are making moves to improve. Hell, the crosstown rival is even improving. And all hear out of the new GMs office is *crickets*

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2013 -> 12:44 PM) Trades are going to happen pretty soon. They will not be going to spring training as currently constructed. I hope you're right, but I'm not a believer. I think this is probably it plus a few minor moves here and there. From now on until something happens, I'm going to refer to Rick Hahn as "Bernie" - as in Weekend at Bernie's.

QUOTE (StatManDu @ Dec 26, 2012 -> 08:52 AM) May 22, 1990: Fisk scolded and lectured the Yankees’ Deion Sanders on Yankee Pride at homeplate during the Sox 5-2 loss to New York. Fisk’s lecture was apparently over Sanders’ lack of hustle and his lackadaisical demeanor on baseball’s hallowed ground and prompted both benches to clear but no punches were thrown. This is probably the #1 reason I dislike Fisk. Sanders wasn't on his team and Fisk should have minded his own business. Deion Sanders should have told him to GTFOH.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 05:30 AM) I'd have Washington, Jefferson, T. Roosevelt, and Lincoln. I'd just put giant White Sox hats on their heads. Add President Obama in his White Sox hat and that monument would be bleepin' golden!

Thomas, Konerko, Baines, and Hawk I will always think of Carlton Fisk as a Red Sawx. And Buehrle? Let's just say that I am glad he no longer wears a White Sox uniform.

QUOTE (PorkChopExpress @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) I'll guess Ryan Howard. Where would he play? EDIT: I think I just answered my own question Any f***ing where he wanted to play.
