hogan873 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hell yes! I don't know if it was the warm winter, but it seemed like the off season was so long. Excited to watch some baseball again and follow the development of the prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow... I'd definitely be on board to go if it was on a Friday again. Would be a good start to a 2 and a half day weekend.

smalls2598 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'll be there, attending my 17th straight Home Opener. The weather looks to be just as bad as last year; I'll keep my fingers crossed that the weather somehow changes. I can take the cold weather, but cold AND rain is the worst.

BlackSox13 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 About time. I like the Sox chances against Verlander so I'm guessing Sox win 3-2. Q gets the win which is followed by five straight no decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'll be there for my 4th opener in a row. I'll be wearing my Q jersey as well. Will be bittersweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never forget, Renteria, who was used by the cubs for that purpose and then unceremoniously discarded, is not going to let it happen again, at least not if he has any say about it. The Sox will try to win every game they can, and they very well might improve the roster through trades and promotions from the farm system during the season. Not sure if they will be a .500 team but I wouldn't bet against that, at least not yet. Let's wait for a few months to see how things develop.

IMy own opinion is that he is a far better Manager than Ventura was. There is a little Earl Weaver in him while Ventura was always asleep at the wheel.

That's horrible for player development to tell the guys not to try too hard. I don't expect him to try and lose. I expect him to get the most out of his players to increase the older guys' value to trade for prospects. That's how we keep the win total down. If all goes to plan, guys like Moncada (for however long he's up), Anderson, and Rodon have solid, building block seasons, but the White Sox still are bottom five in baseball. And as far as the Joe Maddon thing, that stuff just happens. I want to give Renteria a better shot than he got on the north side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
