Jose Abreu

Putnam is on a roll

Isn't Gillaspie something like 3-6 since coming off the DL? He and Abreu seem to hit well next to each other.

De Aza 3-4!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) Jenks and Dotel come to mind. Marte, before Thornton. But lasting five years is very, very unusual these days. Saw where Nick Masset was still in the big leagues as well, I think with the Rockies. Eric Stults has had a LONG career now in the NL West, we just gave him a very limited shot in Chicago and dumped him. You're right about Jenks and Marte. Dotel was only here for 2 years.

OT- A Boston Red Sox fan with Down's Syndrome sang the National Anthem at the Red Sox/Rays game last week. Good story. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2058067...amming-national

balk?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2014 -> 08:58 PM) Maybe that will result in an attendance spike/bump, haha. Just maybe. What is it with all the former White Sox relievers everywhere? The Rangers have Frasor, Poreda and Cotts alone. When you think about it, we haven't really had "staple" relievers who stay in our bullpen for 5+ years. Outside of Matt Thornton.

Another!

From 0-9 against McCarthy to 8-18.

Don't stop now boys

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 9, 2014 -> 01:19 PM) No more Maikel Cleto for you? It's not that I thought he was a good pitcher, but I felt like he was being unfairly viewed here. After last night, though....

My picks to click are Goldschmidt and Gillaspie

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 9, 2014 -> 06:47 AM) Apparently Indiana is not 'regional' enough to Chicago. I got a Trout cover. That's odd, Indiana should be considered regional.

It's expected to be about 81 at first pitch.

I can't wait to see Abreu hit in this Cuba-esque weather.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 7, 2014 -> 10:28 PM) 'kyle'? I always read it as 'kyiiiee' Me too. The lowercase l mixed in with the capital letters makes it look like an I. Lol

That's four in a row.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 7, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Nope. Really think there is. I was on GameCast, did anything happen?

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 7, 2014 -> 10:16 PM) His K/BB is .55 coming into the game. What's so bad besides his WHIP and BB/9? His WHIP is 1.8+ and he walks someone every inning? How can you just put that aside? He strikes out less than 5/9. His FIP is 5+. Small sample size but he's been horrible. He has good stuff, I think he needs more innings

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 7, 2014 -> 10:15 PM) Some bad blood brewing between these teams. Can't tell if sarcasm

Crosstown cup is back!

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 7, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) He's been horrible. Look past his ERA. What's so bad outside of the WHIP and BB/9? As long as they don't score...

There we go

Wow.

4 straight balls.
