QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 04:01 AM) This kills my ability to see games with any regularity. I could usually count on seeing the Sox a few times a month. Now I have to rely on ESPN and mlb network, and they're virtually nonexistent on both channels. Actually, this probably does more damage to the Cubs since they have a larger national following that depended on Wgn games. Bad timing for Cubs fans out of market. Yes, but think how lucky you are to be able to watch every Yankees-Red Sox game on ESPN and MLB-N

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) And that's to get just about every Sox game all season, rather than just the 50-60 you've been getting on WGNA. It's a steal. I think so too. But, I will have to wait just abit until my wife is done with The Voice and American Idol so I can have the heavy machinery back that being the remote control

Let us strive even more mightily to win a game in KC and smite them Royals

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) The White Sox better declare war on themselves (apathy/malaise) before they worry about their AL Central competition. The Caulfield and I don't always see eye to eye but I certainly agree with this statement. We send our two front end starters to the mound and just as they were doing in ST they get rocked. Our bullpen has not solidified and give up too many hits and walks. Plus we lose again by a homerun in the late innings (yesterday). Lorenzo Cain may tick us off as do the rest of the Royals but Cain played with some fire and when he had his opportunity he struck. I am thinking our main problem is as a team the group is still feeling itself out and when they jell we wil be a force to be reckoned with. But, we need to play with some sense of purpose and fire. We have the talent but need to show it as the team to beat in the Central. It's only two games into the season bt let's hope this isn't how we approach the rest of the games.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:30 PM) I think we are all just pissed Beckham is already playing lol I am not pissed. I like Beckham. Any player on the 25 man roster will play in games this year and probably lots of games. I defer to Robin Ventura and his right and decison as far as who plays

Let us strive mightily to win. Smite those heathens

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) I am pretty sure I have not watched WGN this calendar year and expect that to be the case for the next many years. I am in a state of depression over this at the moment. I had been checking to see if I would be able to watch Sox games over WGN-A this season. I was answered by Sox public affairs saying yes that the Sox had a contract for WGN to carry 35 Sox games in 2015. But, WGN-A said they don't carry sports. Since I live in MT I just wasn't sure of the difference between WGN and WGN-A. All I see over Charter Com cable TV is WGN-A and broadcasting a bunch of syndicated TV shows-all reruns of course but no baseball. I probably will not watch WGN-A anymore. I am considering MLB-TV streaming over royko oir some other device. I think the cost is about $20 a month

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 12:35 AM) I'll admit, I always thought Shark was a major douchebag when he was on the Cubs. I understand but we all feel that way when they are with th Cubs. He is our douchebag now though

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 04:25 AM) P.S. - I have a baseball boner and it hasn't gone down yet, should I consult a doctor? Only if it lasts longer han four hours a game or till the end of the World Seres, whichever comes LAST!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 06:54 PM) I like it. We got whooped but I want us to play with an edge all year. Exactly. I wonder how many of these cry babies could have lasted in the era of the likes of Drysdale or Early Wynn or other pitchers of yester year?

Alexei Ramirez

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 05:44 AM) Isn't Vince Coleman the 1B coach this year? Or still D-Boston? I believe it is Darryl Boston as 1B coach and Mr Vince Coleman is the base stealing coach

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 02:16 AM) On the plus side, we can back off the Samardzija for $105-120 million extension talk for at least a week. At this rate (opening day) we will never see the Shark win one or the Sox for that matter

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) Funny, those aren't the 3 worst guys on the team. And the point I made was people praise s***ty players. Look at Bonifacio. He makes almost as much as Flowers and Beckham combined, and he is a pretty s***ty player, yet gets praised, and we get the "if he is used properly" crap. I would love to see someome in this board "use" a guy "properly" and only have him face pitching from one side. I think you are exactly right. Bonifacio and Beckham add versatility and we need both to win this thing. People want to hate of certain players and give passes to others but this is a 25 player team and they plus the coaching staff are all going to be trying to do their best. No one intentionally does poorly. I will defer to the wisdom of Hahn and Williams in the make up of the Sox team. I woud just like to see folks pulling for all players on our team and not going off on tirades because of a K, a GIDP, an error, etc. If you feel the need to rant then let's take it out on the Internal Revenue Service. After all Everybody hates the IRS.

Rules posted for 2015 and first three games ready for your PTC. I am feeling good for this year

I have to go with Jose Abreu

Maybe we are looking at a sweep? Show me they say in Missouri so let's show them with great picks

Here we go folks with game two of the season

Expectations are high for 2015. Up to 1 second before game time all teams are equals but after the game not so much. Take your best shot here for a Sox win

I was doing some fact checking on winning teams and found this interesting tidbit: at the end of the season and the playoffs and World Series only one team out of thirty ends up winning it all. Begs the question "in the end how do you judge success?"

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) I mean completely gone. Not wearing any White Sox affiliated uniform. The Knights dont deserve that type of torture either. This hating is getting old. I am glad tosee Carrol getting some wrk and I am glad Beckham is on the team along with Johnson and Sanchez

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) Wait...is there a serious chance that MJ won't be the starting 2b? I think Micah has been impressive but Sanchez may be more solid right now and has a better glove

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) With all the secrecy around some guys, I wonder what deals the team is trying to make before the roster moves all come down. Good question. Just a few more days so things will be interesting

89-73 and we win AL Central
