Yes, the Sox have to start at noon because of the Fox game at 3.

Thank god for The Masters.

Kannapolis lost two games... 0 runs on 3 hits combined in 14 innings of baseball. Sweet.

6 shutout innings for Carlos Torres. We'll see him back in Chicago sooner or later, the way the bullpen is looking.

The more I watch Pierrre, the more I want to follow Jordan Danks. He's 2-2 tonight.

It's not his MLB debut, but ok. QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) Lucy.. Welcome to the big leagues.

Alexei is closer to being benched than being the leadoff hitter. It's not a good idea.

No way he starts tonight against a lefty. Day game tomorrow against Freddy. He'll be in the lineup tomorrow.

I hope he doesn't play at all tonight. I wouldn't want to see cheering for him in a big pinch hit situation. First AB on Saturday, absolutely.

Indians catching prospect Carlos Santana went 4-5, double and two homers. Lou Marson is not long for that job.

Ouch! That's the chance you take when you're on twitter. He better have thick skin. This isn't KC.

Played for both teams? QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:44 PM) What's that have to do with today's Indians/White Sox game?

Nix will probably be in there against Liriano. QUOTE (hawkubes @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:32 PM) Im joining the conversation late, but I am gonna be sick to my stomach if Mark Teahen is in the starting lineup tomorrow. The guy's been brutal, and imo he cost us the game tonight

I'm not a fan of Quentin sitting for 30 minutes between his at-bats. He'll go nuts.

It's so obvious that the regular lineup should be: Pierre LF/DH, Beckham 2B, Quentin RF, Konerko 1B, Rios CF, Pierzynski C, Jones DH/LF, Teahen 3B, Ramirez SS Occasional DH for Quentin and Konerko. Spot starts for Kotsay, Nix, Vizquel, and the catcher. Come on, Ozzie. Use your head.

I'm agreeing with all of this JOnes/Rios stuff. Rios should be firmly implanted in CF.

Heyward's swing is a thing of beauty. Double down the rf line.

This would be a bad game to get rained out. They pretty much would have to play a day/nighter on June 4. Good day to turn over the 5th starter to Hudson, but I hope it doesn't come to that.

Actually, Beckham does get some national exposure already. He's been on Scott Van Pelt Show a couple times. He's been on Mike and Mike. Harold Reynolds mentions him whenever he can, and they predicted he would be the 2B of this decade. If the Sox get in the playoffs, and he plays well, then the sky is the limit as far as his fame.

Take a wild guess? I mean really, you don't know who is who?

http://twitpic.com/1doolr That's why they're on radio.

Before long the lineup will be Pierre, Beckham, Quentin, Konerko, Rios, Pierzynski, Jones, Teahen, Ramirez, and we'll all be enjoying it a lot. This Kotsay thing is temporary. He's a once a week starter, pinch hitter, defensive replacement after Nix runs for Konerko.

Yes J4L, good point.

I wonder if they could do it over, would the Rays take our Beckham with the first pick? Could you imagine Beckham and Longoria in the same infield. Good lord. Anyway I'm glad the Rays, Pirates, Orioles, Royals, Marlins, Giants, and Reds wanted different players. Our gain for the next 15+ years--hopefully.
