May 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:40 AM) Can we get Bryce Harper to yell f*** you at Laz Diaz too? ha, I saw that from earlier.
May 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:26 PM) Does Robertson earn two blown saves in this one? Kind of concerning to see his fastball topping out at 91....hope it's just fatigue. Fantastic win. It wasn't always pretty but these guys came through once again. Really happy to see Gonzalez have a solid start....would be ideal for us to fill that hole in-house. Avi still raking. This team is on a mission. Just one official blown save. He now has two, some would argue three and others would argue if not for poor White Sox defense behind him, he might just as easily have zero.
May 10, 20169 yr Avila looked really good in his come back tonight. He's got a .359 OBP on the year now.
May 10, 20169 yr What a great victory. Nice! Frazier 4-for-6 with 6 RBIs? You gotta be bleepin me. He's already produced more than Dunn and LaRoche. The signing is successful. Like somebody said a few games ago, he's a true "slugger." Love me some Frazier. And that pick at third he had on that blast to his right two games ago was remarkable it stuck in his glove. Avi and Jackson 3 hits apiece? This team is off to such a good start. In past years I'd be "worried" about this team going on a 10-game losing streak and giving it right back. I don't feel it with this team (there's no such thing as a jinx folks, calm down). No matter what, it's been a remarkable start. It's so cool to pile up all these wins and have the Royals lose so many games. The season is a marathon but obviously it's going to be strange when we first play the Royals. They are going to be trying to get that old swagger back and sweep us at home and on the road to make up 7 or 8 games right off the bat vs. us. Like Hawk says, strap em up. It's gonna be quite a ride. Lotta ball to be played but I stand by my Sox-Cubs WS prediction.
May 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 10, 2016 -> 05:44 AM) 6 games up on Cleveland, 7 on KC and 8 on DET Woooo It's crazy. Don't you agree in past years you might be worried we'd immediately lost 10 in a row and give it right back? I'll admit having the new blood on the team plus the maturation of Sale, Q and Eaton makes me feel confident.
May 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:44 PM) 6 games up on Cleveland, 7 on KC and 8 on DET Woooo Perfect day. It's hard to say the Sox are running away with the division when they have 55 games left with those teams. But if they can't go 67-62 to win 90 games, something terrible happened. This team is good.

May 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:49 PM) Avi's slash line: .273/.350/.477. Please let this be the real Avi. I'm still skeptical but if it is that really gives this group the little extra push to be the elite team in the AL imo. Man, I hope something clicked with him. Edited May 10, 20169 yr by Rowand44
May 10, 20169 yr http://www.freep.com/story/sports/columnis...usmus/84143238/ Detroit writers calling for the dismantling of the Tigers and a start to the rebuilding process. Would be glad to take Zimmerman, Victor or JD Martinez off their hands. Ian Kinsler would be in high demand as well. That said, it's unlikely they'll ask for "fair/market" value even if Illitch decides to order Avila to do it.
May 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:25 PM) I don't want to bring this thread down because this was a terrific win but the Jerry Sands situation does have to be talked about. No use for him on the roster right now. Yep. The reason for this team being so much better is there are few "White Sox" on the roster.
May 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) Frazier with the staredown http://mlb.mlb.com/r/video?content_id=677978983 He's the f***ing man.
May 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:34 AM) I still can't believe we actually pulled this game out. After giving up the lead in the 9th I thought we would lose for sure, this team keeps surprising us and I love winning! I turned it off in the 10th when they had 2 on
May 10, 20169 yr Ironically, a lot of people gave up on a game and left USCF nearly two decades ago against these same Texas Rangers that Robin Ventura won with a grand slam.
May 10, 20169 yr Maybe it's been mentioned - but as the GS is being celebrated, you can see Abreu telling Lawrie not to hurt him Lawrie gets so pumped up and aggressive that people probably get bruised after clutch HRs lol
May 10, 20169 yr http://m.mlb.com/news/article/177174608/fr...lifts-white-sox Downtown Goes Frazier!!! That one's pretty clever...if you're a boxing fan and older than 30.
May 10, 20169 yr Cynicism is a tough bi**h to kill. All I am thinking about before the series is that I just hope they don't get swept. I have thought that before the Toronto series and the series in Minnesota. Even with all the reasons for optimism with this team I keep finding myself falling back on pessimism. I feel however a shift happening and after watching the 2 blown leads last night I found myself thinking "they still got this", and they proved me right. This team is changing me from a glass half empty guy to a glass half full guy and I love it! GO SOX!!

May 10, 20169 yr C'mon now, I'm 46 and I heard about that Frazier/Ali showdown SO MANY times...and I didn't even really follow boxing at that age, just noticed the stories in the Sports Illustrated that my parents got me a subscription to.

May 10, 20169 yr I've been going with "YARD GOES FRAZIER" And yeah, I'm under 30. I think anyone with any sense of sports history will get the reference, guys.

That's not really ironic, lol. That's just a similar occurrence from a game that happened a long time ago and Ventura happens to be the manager.
