Man if Quintana can get his s*** together and the top 5 guys in the lineup just hit what they did last year we'd have a pretty good team. The bullpen has been awesome so far.

I would take our last decade too, it wasn't really a good example because we haven't been completely dreadful the last 9 seasons. What about 1 title and then a run of 15 years of not even sniffing contention, or 15 years of an Atlanta Braves-type run? I'm kind of leaning towards the latter in this scenario.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) I remember hearing on a sports radio show. Would you rather see your team win a championship then suck for 15 years, or be good for 15 years and never win a championship? That's kind of been us lol. Won it all in '05 and had some good playoff teams but lately it's been full out suck. It's a good question, would you take our last decade including '05 or the Tigers' last decade?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) Sad part is the cubs are all they are to be and are playing well. The sox will have zero coverage and interest in about a week. It's not like we got a lot of coverage even when the Cubs were losing 95 games every year the last five seasons. Barring a dynasty-type run by the Sox, this is not going to change.

From 1997-2008 we had a winning record against the AL Central every season. From 2009-2014 the only season we had a winning record against our division was 2012. I'm getting really sick of being unable to beat our division foes. This sucks.

If Ventura goes who replaces him?

Isn't Bauer always wild?

I couldn't possibly care any less about what Beckham said, and I'm completely baffled why it's causing a stir among some posters here.

That was the pitch to hit out. Damn.

Man sometimes Jose's swing can look really ugly.

the last three full innings from our bullpen resulted in 9 Ks, beastly.

Team looked like a real baseball team after that awful top half of the 2nd. Hopefully we can turn things around now. Conor and Avi look really good at the plate so far, and Soto might play his way into the starting role. The top of the order needs to pick it up, but god damn it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Finally a win.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 07:56 PM) Out of the Cubs and White Sox, which do you think is in setup where it is most important that they win this season? If both teams win 70 games this season, which is it worse for? Great point, though our core is still pretty young.

Pitching matchup heavily favors us tomorrow, and then it's Sale on Sunday. Win the next two and get some momentum going into the next series. At this point, 2-4 wouldn't look terrible.

Can someone describe what happened?

We're already going to be 4 games back, the season started on Monday. JFC.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 05:36 PM) yes. that was sarcasm. I was agreeing with your sarcasm.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 05:33 PM) Maybe if our baseball players "wanted it more" when they swung they would get hits instead of outs "Wanting it more" is used so often in sports but it's one of the most meaningless buzz phrases out there.

Thank God Sale didn't pitch today with this offensive output.

Is the plan to walk Mauer every time?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 05:01 PM) At least we won the offseason. I thought San Diego did.

Milone has thrown two pitches that weren't a fastball or a changeup. COME ON!

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) Just once, I'd like to see us get out to an amazing offense start...it just doesn't happen, regardless of who is in the uniform. '05 and '06 we got off to a hell of a start.
