QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 06:21 PM) I'm like the 5th person in America that has never watched GOT but this is a pretty solid idea. White Sox need to do s*** like this when they're good let alone rebuilding. I'm like the 6th person in America that has never watched GOT but this is a pretty solid idea.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 5, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) I'm a junior in HS. Girl is into me and I think I am also into her (she is a Sox fan and literally can recite Sox player stats/sabermetrics AND is pretty. Too good to be true right?). Problem is that she is a graduating senior who will go to college in Louisiana, and there's like, a 1% chance I go to college there. This is on par with what I usually hear. I don't think cheating would be as much of an issue with this girl, but I could see jealousy (both ways). In the age of the smartphone and near-constant communication, I'd hope that some of these problems are less prevalent now. Yes, I graduate in May 2017 and the girl graduates in a couple weeks. It seems like a horrible idea, but we have so much in common and it would be hard to not try to make something work. Lol, I knew I probably posted this in here. I disregarded everyone's advice (you guys, friends, parents, etc.) and went with the long distance relationship, and we're somehow approaching our 1-year anniversary in a couple weeks. No big problems either. I'm honestly surprised, but in a good way.

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 11:45 PM) I've heard whispers he may be available by the trade deadline. From my sources losing the first two starts have tempered interests in a few possibly contending team. Yeah, that losing start yesterday was horrible. 2 runs allowed?! Contending teams don't want a guy like that!

Cabrera Anderson Abreu Frazier Asche Garcia Sanchez Narvaez May So no Saladino or Davidson

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) I was at the game and where they play Maurer is incredible. If he hit one into the RF corner, he would have an easy triple. Avi was at least 120 feet off the line maybe 150 feet. May was in LC. Maurer hit one pretty much right at him where had they been playing straight up probably is a double unless the traded for Buxton. One thing the Sox don't get enough credit for is their many defensive shifts and the relative execution rate of the shifts.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:11 PM) May has shown no baseball IQ at all. He's so far away from being a big leaguer QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:11 PM) He just walked two straight, why are you swinging at the first pitch!??! Godspeed, Tilson

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:10 PM) I have never heard of Yolmer Sanchez. Bad moderator I am, I know But have you heard of Carlos Sanchez?

Wow, this guy seems rattled.

Terrific AB. He's always good in the clutch

Avi is really working counts this year

Frazier's taking this guy yard on 3-1. Book it.

Random but is Abreu the only player who doesn't wear the new helmets?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) Well, they both will continue to get at bats on a regular basis while one emerges over the other (one game sample size for each so far is nothing). But we have a very large sample size of Asche MLB at-bats. We have next to nothing with Davidson. It can't hurt to make him full-time DH.

Davidson was benched so I am now going with A. Garcia.

Twins come in undefeated, somehow. Hopefully they keep winning games this season to help us #TankForBeer

Assuming we're still doing the superstitious game thread starter thing this year, tomorrow's should be up no later than 10 AM CT.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 05:43 PM) Can we kill that gif? ^

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 12:37 PM) I think its more that the Sox screwed up and traded a good prospect before he had a chance to show anything. Kudos to the Padres, I guess. Other publications are high on Tatis, its not like Law is alone. Why does there need to be a conspiracy or grudge? What happened to Occam's Razor? What did Tatis show, exactly?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) Jose, are you saying that IF the Sox had never traded Tatis, Jr, and IF he were still with the Sox, that Law would not have him ranked as high as he is now ranked? Yes.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) Keith Law has no White Sox bias. This is absurd. Michael Kopech is his 7th ranked prospect in all of baseball and #1 pitching prospect in the game. Law wasn't high on Moncada or Cespedes either. One prospect doesn't mean that he has no odd anti-Sox trend about him lately.

Wind might make this crazy if it's played.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) I roll my eyes at Keith Law a lot, but he's not that high on Robert. Surprise, surprise. Lately, it seems like anyone with even the furthest ties to the White Sox isn't too great in his eyes. And any mediocre former Sox prospect, like Tatis Jr, is the next Trout.

Alexei and Sale have ridiculous metabolisms.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 02:19 PM) This is the response I sent John, Thanks for the response. Speaking frankly, this is a bit frustrating. This package was marketed to fans as a value deal of a group of games. I realize things happen with April weather, but I believe it's disingenuous for the White Sox to walk back on the good faith value of 11 games for a refunded portion of a miniscule amount of money and 10 remaining games (maybe 9 now if tomorrow's weather is bad as well). The true value of this campaign is to get butts in seats in a down year, in my opinion, and I believe the White Sox always make a lot of money on concessions per fan, more than the value of the ticket that will go unsold. I would say that refunding $3.54 does nothing for the White Sox or me, but even a free upper reserved ticket in July gets me to a game, gets me to buy hot dogs, candy, beer and whatever else - and gets me to cheer on the squad. We both know this is a rebuilding year for this team, and that there are going to be dog games in July and August against not-popular teams where the organization will struggle at the gate - why give me $3.54 for each of two tickets back when the team could make $50 in concessions for giving ballpark passers the opportunity to exchange for an upper reserved ticket to a handful of organization-picked games? Sincerely, ***** I'd love to hear what they say to that.
