QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) I know the feeling lol Plus you get way too hyped up and cant sleep. So that's pretty awful too

I mean I want to watch the Hawks game...but my heart even in my 20's cant take playoff hockey for too long

I hate this park

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) And Kolek.. I didnt like him that much...Aiken atleast looked like the real deal in High School.

Man did we get lucky two teams were stupid enough to pass on him...Although I did like Aiken.

Ah s*** Lawrie hit that well. Just not enough.

That slider is dirty

Oh christ this umps going to be a fun one

"Dress up like Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element and hit the ballpark every day. Then I’ll buy all this nonconformity bulls***."

That's why we have Todd Frazier

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 05:41 PM) Defensively, at least. Jackson's also an improvement over Eaton in CF. I'm sure the Sox believe that Avi is going to be more useful as a DH. They also missed an opportunity to bring in Loney to platoon with him, which I thought was strange. They didnt miss it. He has family in San Diego. Choose the Padres.

It's too bad Buxton plays for the Twins

I mean they essentially already began the process of replacing him even if you throw out all of the rumors of Gordon,Cespedes ect. They signed Jackson. Avi wont be seeing the OF much at all because he sucks defensively. If he cant hit well you think they wont hesitate at the deadline to get a better hitter at DH?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) You could argue it, but you'd be wrong. After they clearly did try hard...he would absolutely be wrong.

Good job by Jackson there

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 05:19 PM) The Sox spent the entire winter trying to replace the guy, but don't think that Jerry Sands or Travis Ishikawa is a better option. I'd hardly call that a ringing endorsement. Plus if he doesnt hit consistently they'll probably replace him at the DH spot

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 05:18 PM) what is Sano upset about? He took a strike right over the plate lol

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 05:17 PM) But they wanted Trayce Thompson instead? Look, the Sox clearly think that Avi is going to be an every-day ML player. Otherwise, he'd be in AAA right now. That's fine but that doesnt mean they are right. Defensively Thompson was light years ahead of Avi.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 05:08 PM) No, my point was that if the Sox didn't think that Avi was going to be a legit major league RF or DH, they probably would've dealt him by now (say, him in the Frazier deal instead of Trayce). But they didn't, and that seems to indicate that they're confident in him developing into every-day player. Maybe....I know crazy idea...Whoever they were talking with didnt want him

Duke was almost too obvious as far as potential to be a complete bust free agent signing.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Can Duke get someone out? The answer so far as been no

It's good to see him do something positive. But he has a long way to go. It needs to be consistent for him to be a positive WAR player. Not every once in a blue moon.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) That strike 2 was just bleh. A hittable pitch on the 3rd though which was good. Best swing all year from him.
