Jose Abreu

Pretty funny article. It seems like Sierra and Nieto are well-liked by the team. Well, maybe not by Gillaspie. http://www.southsidesox.com/2014/7/17/5911...dugout-all-star

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:52 PM) His contract is insanely valuable to this team as well. Sox are sitting pretty with Sale and Q as 1-2. And if Rodon works out... wow

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 06:42 AM) He could actually exceed the HR/RBI projections at the ASB. How sick would that be?

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 13m Jose Abreu says that when he learns more English, he wants to learn how to sing the national anthem. Seriously.

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 8m Jose Abreu says that when he heard the national anthem before the game it really hit him.

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 12m Jose Abreu calls the All-Star experience "unbelievable."

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 10:09 AM) As Jose Abreu drives around Chicago, he finds cross country athletes and asks them to get in the car. He just can't get enough of driving runners home. this one is the winner

Abreu says he eats at Home Run Inn Pizza every night

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 14m When Jose Abreu was 1, his parents took him to get his portrait. He saw a badminton racket and on his own he got into a hitter's pose.

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 19m In Cuba, Jose Abreu offered to catch 1 day, but he didn't have a cup. He got a foul tip in the area and said "I’ll never catch in my life."

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 12:28 PM) No, it's just based on your own team's games, but the Sox have played 96 so Sale is one inning short. I glanced at the Sox record and it said 44-50. Didn't realize that was 2 days old.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 12:21 PM) Yesterday was the Sox' 96th game, so Sale was the AL ERA leader up until the 5th inning was completed. Now he isn't. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 12:23 PM) The Dodgers have played 97 games. I believe that's the most in the league. Thus, to technically be qualified for the ERA title right now, a pitcher must have throw 97 innings. My bad Hickory, and I didn't know that wite, thanks

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 12:21 PM) So somebody asked on facebook who a better hitter is between Puig and Abreu. Pretty close, I'd like to hear your guys thoughts. Abreu

Felix named starter tomorrow. It says he has the lowest ERA in the AL. I checked, and Sale has a lower ERA. To qualify, he must have 1 IP for every Sox game. He has 95 IP in 94 games. Someone explain this to me?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 09:43 PM) Who's gonna play SS? Good point. Possibilities include L. Garcia, Beckham, M. Johnson, Sanchez, Saladino... but none are really that good at SS

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) According to John Saunders on this morning's ESPN Sports Reporters, Nelson Cruz is the major league leader in home runs. I guess that means 28 > 29. Annoying. Same thing happened on MLB Tonight

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) I'm sure when Abreu hits a homer that just barely makes it out the pitcher goes "In another park, that stays in!" Yeah, who cares about all this. A home run is a home run.

By the way you can remove the question mark, other sources have backed this up

I remember we got 5 or 6 runs off of him last year, when he was on the Jays

Any word on Carroll's/Alexei's health?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) So...Sale to start the game? I think Felix will get it. Unless he starts on Sunday

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 06:03 PM) Belisario. You guys ready to name other pitchers from the bullpen that could have been put in instead? Let's see. Guerra and Petricka pitched yesterday. Surkamp and Webb were used already. I'd save Rienzo for potential extras. So the answer is Putnam.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 05:59 PM) If only we had a real option at catcher. AJP sitting patiently by his phone

Do your job, Surkamp. Nice job, Webb
