Was hoping Beckham was gone.

For the person who suggested using Uber while in Chicago, thank you! After reading reviews I was skeptical but we used it 4 times and with $20 credit I got we only spent about $15 on rides. Much better then using a taxi.. Going to back to Chicago in June and will be using it again.. Have to go through the stress of finding a hotel for cheap.. Won't be able to get the Hyatt Regency again for $75 a night.. That was awesome.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Mar 24, 2014 -> 03:51 PM) Can anybody give one good reason why Beckham should be the starting 2nd basemen this season over Semien? Seriously. Honestly, none and I hope Hahn and Ventura see that and decide to put Beckham on the DL to start the year and give Semien the first couple weeks, if he struggles when Beckham is scheduled to come back then you simply just send him down. But if he continues to do well then you do whatever it takes to trade Beckham or Ramirez or you keep him with the MLB team playing 5 games a week at either 2B, SS, or 3B.

Beckham to the DL please!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 23, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) Exactly. Anybody with a hint of basketball IQ watched a great basketball team lose to an incredibly talented team that played the best game it has all year. That was fun to watch. It is fun watching Cleanthony Early play. That guy is a stud! I am kind of wanting the Bulls to draft him!

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 05:00 PM) Marcus with 5BB/5K in ST. More like the ratio he had in minors last year vs. his callup showing. Terrific spring for our MI prospects. I am secretly wanting Beckham to go on the DL so Semien can stay up with the team.

Pretty bad performance by Johnson.

Semien-Garcia-Abreu is such a great combination!!

Damn weather keeps changing!! The past couple days it was suppose to be low 50s on Friday and now its low 40s.

I will join later! Was hoping there would be a group for everyone here

Semien with a single, Abreu with a rocket single up the middle, and a 3 run bomb by Garcia!! Pleaseeeee have these 3 at along with Eaton at the top

Love Semien's approach at the plate. He is going to be a good hitter for us

Maybe Beckham will be out awhile and Semien can start the season with the club

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Mar 14, 2014 -> 12:02 PM) (Evans is the Giants assistant GM): @DavidLaurilaQA 17m Bobby Evans said Giants were close to deal with White Sox this offseason. Ended up not happening. #SABRanalytics https://twitter.com/DavidLaurilaQA/status/444513550220804096 Any of our insiders hear anything about this? Any of our non-insiders care to hazard a guess? It probably doesn't even matter any more.. There are a lot of deals that were close that never happen.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 07:09 PM) I've been near there for Illini games (a few sections over in 117 I believe), should be great views. Only my 2nd game ever. Wasn't nearly this close last time! Can't wait!

Has anyone ever sat in section 121 at the United Center? Got tickets in that section in row 6 for next Saturday's game against the 76ers

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 05:27 PM) Most people see Eaton as the Sox leadoff hitter for years but I see Micah Johnson with Eaton batting 2nd. Now that will be a great top 2. Either that or Johnson hitting 9th.. But I would rather him be up top like you said

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 05:25 PM) (you remember how people have complained about Beckham being brought along too fast and that potentially screwing him up right?) (You remember Micah has been in the minors longer then Beckham, right? 200 AB's to 800 AB's)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 05:20 PM) (No, he'll start the year at AA but it's nice to see him having a good spring). I know, I was joking... kind of... Would much rather see him starting then Beckham

Can we just give Micah Johnson the job now?? 3-2 pitch against a lefty and he took it the other way for an RBI single.. Would have been a double if it wasn't 1st and 2nd.

QUOTE (GallonsOfSemien @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 03:58 PM) Quintana pitching like a guy who isn't very good. Which is odd because Quintana has pitched well in past seasons. Spring. Training.

Johnson with a chopper, shows his speed and beats it out. RBI single

Phegley with a double down the left field line

Danks with another hit
