You obviously meant the Twins pen here...

Well over the than the big blast and some living dangerously they got the job done.  Everything is so magnified just gives the games more edge.

Hopefully you are moving away from Tampa not to it. 

Moved back to Chicago! Right on lake Michigan in the Edgewater/Rogers park area. Had to get out of Florida. 

Honest question from someone who didn’t pay much attention to the preseason. Why isn’t Gio in the rotation? I trust him over Lopez and Rodon.

Love that area. Loyola grad, so I know it well.

We are not sure he is 100% healthy . Plus he's old. The Sox need to find out if Lopez can become an effective starting pitcher. Good young starters are very valuable and he still has a shot at becoming that. You just don't cast them into the BP when they don't become good right away. If he can't hack it as a starter this year. He will get replaced by Dunning or Lambert or Gonzalez soon enough.

Rodon actually looked pretty decent in his return and since GG still had shoulder soreness and didn't pitch in the 1st spring training and barely pitched in summer camp it looks like the Sox are just nursing him along.

Gio G was up early in game 1, so we may see him soon.

I think i saw him limbering up also in game 2 but in a 10-3 game gave Lambert a chance to get his feet wet and rest Gio again.
