QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 03:55 AM) What does he throw? I'm thinking FB, CH and something else. Thanks. I have currently no update of his pitching arsenal. His FB is great and he's supposed to have a CH and a curve but I'm not sure about the quality of those.

Jefferson Joseph Olacio, LHP - Bristol Sox Born 01/16/1994 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 6’7”, 230 Throws/Bats: L/L Jefferson Olacio, 18 years old, is a huge guy at 6’7” and 230 lbs. He signed with White Sox for $125 000 in 2010 and played in the Dominican Summer League White Sox last year. He had big control problems last year with a 9.08 BB/9 but he also had a K/9 to match. He has a great fastball and is working on his curve and change-up. Jefferson spent the 2012 season split between Kannapolis and Bristol. His BB/9 is down from awful 9.08 to still not very good 6.00. His SO/9 is also down, 8.34. Turning 19 in January 2013 he's still very young. He was part of the instructional league squad this fall.

With third placed teams having a chance to reach playoffs, how will play-in work this year? Let's say the season was over now with the current results standing. Baltimore, Cleveland and Texas are obviously through with Tampa grabbing one of the wildcards. Then what? Currently Sox, Yankees, Detroit and Toronto are all on .556. Would Sox play Detroit because they are in the same division? And which team would be playing at home, both in that game and in the next play-in game? And does it even fit into the schedule? I know it's highly(!) unlikely to happen, but still?

I'm just so incredibly happy right now! It's closing up on 1am and I'm going try and get some sleep, fat chance. Philip Humber is my new hero, this is just amazing!!! I started to get nervous already in 5th and pretty much completely stopped caring about the Sox offense. I'm surprised my heart didn't collapse from this!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 08:14 AM) Living in California definitely has some negatives. 9:05am baseball is one of them. I don't even wake up until 9:15! Le sigh. Don't complain too much. My normal game time is 1:05am or 3:05am so this (7:05pm) is a million times better

I'm really nervous about Sale tonight. I hope he has it in him but I won't believe until I see it, there's a lot more pressure now.

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 22, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) Fun game. In those appreciate the game commercials, watch the players hands. You can tell how nervous they are. Crain is the worst I've see. Hawks gota really twitchy right thumb as well... Meh, now I can't stop looking at their hands at every commercial. Thanks!

...and AJ homers!

I enjoyed the "stolen pillow" story on the radio. Also enjoying the game!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 10:58 PM) I was yesterday. I think I thought that was for all of spring training, not just the first game. For free streams during ST, check the Web-column at http://www.csnchicago.com/blog/whitesox-ta...mp;feedID=10338

I have MLB.TV Premium, but my brother doesn't and he couldn't access even when logged in.

I just even noticed it wasn't Flowers catching anymore. Phegley now? Sound quality is crap right now... Sounds like the commentator is a computer!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 10:07 PM) Then he steals second, and Dunn walks. I'm starting to feel sorry for Dunn!

Gordon is 2 for 2 so far...

*bookmarking this thread to be able to find next time I'm drunk*

Alexei Ramirez is a big favorite of mine! Also enjoy seeing Lillibridge in the outfield.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 03:34 PM) I don't know if MLB will challenge this ruling in court or not, but that's the only way "This isn't over". That and the boo's. And either his next positive test or the dropoff in his numbers. What do those options actually look like? Could it go as high as CAS, is that even legally possible?

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) The collector released a statement (USA Today). I'm very interested to read the decision to see what the panel was thinking here. Just read that article too. "Great" to know that Braun while saving his own face is making life miserable for someone much more honest than himself.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 01:58 AM) Only selected Spring games are televised. I doubt that the college scrimmage games will be shown. Meh, that's no fun. I'm sick of watching 2011-games over and over!

Ok, never thought I would come to this but I can't wait for baseball any longer and I'm actually looking forward to the Seminoles @ Phillies game. Does anyone know if this will be broadcasted anywhere? I can't seem to find any information at phillies.com nor at http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp?ymd=20120229 The new "At Bat" app is released wednesday but that might be a coincidence?

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 01:08 PM) I wonder what life is like for the average person living over there. From a distance, and with obviously a poor sample of stories, it seems like hell on earth. I'm also beginning to believe somewhere in that region will be the next location an atomic bomb is exploded. My parents saw "Tears of Gaza" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0WKVhIpgr4) a while back which pushed my quite conservative father from being pro-israeli to not so pro... He warned me not to watch it unless I could handle it, not sure what that means as I have yet to see it. I studied a bit about the Middle-East at the University for a term and I have a feeling that life isn't very great for anyone down here, on either side of the conflict.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 08:54 AM) I feel it's necessary for someone to note that his avatar says he's from Sweden. Thank you for pointing this out, you'll all get used to me eventually Sweden has more people following NHL than MLB, NFL, NBA and MLS together... I'm not one of them!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 07:09 PM) ESPN is one of the most expensive cable channels. That, and they lost both NFL and NHL to another channel and those are the two sports most people watch.
