YES!!!!

Let's go Frazier!!!

Nice inning for Sale there.

Typical s*** Sox base running right there.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Where's the hype?? I feel like barely any Soxtalkers are going to be watching this game, compared to the average opening day That's because the game starts so f***ing late.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) I wonder if we should scratch Sale tonight. Seems like pitching him here is a waste when he's not needed to win. Pitch Danks against Hill and let him pad his record for trade value. Than come back with Sale later in the series when he might be needed to get a win. This might be the dumbest post I've seen on here all day.

I do think the Sox will get more than 1 run off of Gray; they killed him last time (though he was battling an injury if I recall correctly).

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) Predictions brought to you by The Show 2016.... Sox win 1-0 Sale, CG, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 9 K Eaton, 1-5, 2B Rollins, 1-4, 2B Frazier 2-4, HR Melky, 1-2, 2 BB Lawrie/Garcia, 1-4. I would be ok with that.

I think Jackson should hit ninth, but I might be in the minority.

I AM SO EXCITED OMG OMG

How do you think the lineup will be against lefty starters? If I had to guess, I'd say: Eaton (CF) Cabrera (DH) Abreu (1B) Frazier (3B) Lawrie (2B) Navarro © Garcia (LF) Sands (RF) Saladino (SS)

It might be fun if we each posted our predictions for the line for each starting pitcher as well as the final score. My guesses are: Sale - 7.1 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 9 K Gray - 6.2 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K White Sox win 6-4 behind an Abreu 3 run shot and a solo homer by Frazier.

One of the mods should change the title of this thread lol. I almost had a heart attack the first time I glanced at it.

The Sox will always have attendance issues if the team is horrible. I got nice seats to the SECOND home game of the year when CHRIS SALE is pitching for $16.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 1, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) By the way, April Fools! Sorry, I had to continue the tradition of April 1st Sale fake-injury threads, and didn't want to pick something too obviously fake. Damn you. I fell for this.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 05:47 PM) I bet they're putting off announcing the last spot will go to Ishikawa because they are likely working on adding someone else and delaying having to put Ishikawa on 40 until the very end of Spring Training. Just my own theory since it's that time of year where lots of guys move around. How big of a move? No idea. I agree. Whether it's Loney, Gonzalez, or someone else, I think Hahn has a move up his sleeve before the season starts.

I'd be absolutely fine with the Sox signing Gonzalez. Pitching depth is a concern right now, but adding him would make me feel much more confident.

I will go with Melky Cabrera.

I will go with Todd Frazier.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 08:26 AM) So fast before the Lakers came to their senses. This guy is potentially a top 5 player in the league in a couple of years. He is a 19 year old kid who made a mistake. Crucifying him is absolutely ridiculous. Is Russell even that good? I know he is young and has lots of potential, but Butler is an already established star. I would trade anyone on the team besides Jimmy for him.

It is funny how some people wanted the Sox to sign him a year ago, and now they do not want to touch him with a 10 foot pole.

I would rather have Ishikawa than Loney to be honest.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) I'd trade anyone on the Bulls for Russell. Even Butler?

Why in the world would the Sox take a high school pitcher tenth overall?

raBBit made it sound like the Sox are pursuing James Loney. Interesting.
