With the Opening Day that we feared would never happen now upon us what do we expect to see against Detroit?

I predict Giolito will give 4 good innings before things get a bit scary when the bullpen takes over and we hang on to a nervy win!

I'm just hoping we aren't looking at a 6 hour game with 2 rain delays.

Soxtalk blows up

Sox win.

The window is closed the first baserunner for Detroit.

The odds on this gotta be -1000.  

Just hoping for a hohum series win to kick off the season.  

The game thread will be epic when Giolito is pulled after 4 innings of 1 run ball.

If he’s thrown like 75 pitches I think we will mostly understand that.

I am a bit nervous about dealing with the dreaded Lucas Giolito day game. 

Austin Meadows goes 2/4 with a HR.

Eloy and  Robert also homer and Sox win 6-4.

Logically yes, but in the game thread?

9-5 White Sox.  Robert 4/4 with the cycle (and walk).

Hope o meter for all thirty teams’ fanbases

If they play, I’ll call a Josh Harrison big hit.

Hoping opening day is Saturday afternoon, however. I don’t think either team would mind if this game is made up in June.  

Who gets the privilege  (or curse) of Opening Day game thread?

Close!

I predict Sox go up early, Liam blows 2 save opportunities and the Sox lose on a walkoff.

Sad, but true, right? Am I the only one here that thinks Hendricks is hugely over-rated? I've watched him screw up over and over and over. Ridiculous.
