me and my friend bought a 7 day season ticket plan + 1 from the survey. figure to go at least 2W-6L @ $8/game. flask? we'll see. metal detection doesn't start until next year.

Got a little down on the over.

Podcast I listened to pointed out that Sox were talking a bit last season, which I never knew was a thing in MLB but which a makes sense.

3/27/2014 5:27:39 PM

I cant wait to watch all of the tigers games in chicago this season.

3/28/2014 6:05:30 PM

interested to see what abreu can do

3/28/2014 6:10:58 PM

I'll be at the Cell on Monday if anybody wants to share the 20 lb banana split

3/28/2014 6:25:51 PM

you know the Twins are going to be bad when their opening day starter went 13-11 last year with a 3.70 ERA

Sox projected lineup:

Adam Eaton, CF
Alexei Ramirez, SS
Jose Abreu, 1B
Adam Dunn, DH
Avisail Garcia, RF
Dayan Viciedo, LF
Conor Gillaspie, 3B
Tyler Flowers, C
Marcus Semien, 2B

I'd like to see De Aza starting over Viciedo, but Ventura is smarter than I am

(looks like I won't be going to the game after all. sucks since my hotel is 10 minutes away)

Lol gilliaspe goes from hitting 3rd one game to not playing at all the next

Wtf is ventura doing with his lineups

4/2/2014 8:35:25 PM

Konerko should retire

4/3/2014 5:56:59 PM

I did and up going to opening day after all. Two thoughts: Abreu will win MVP within 2 seasons. Flowers should retire

4/3/2014 8:21:47 PM

Yeah, Flowers' 4-4 yday really doomed the team.

He's hurt.

4/4/2014 8:31:47 AM

^^ perhaps the most meaningless 4 singles in a 19-run game in the history of baseball. I hope he makes a believer of me, because what I saw on Monday looked like a rookie without a clue at the plate. completely fooled

4/4/2014 9:56:27 AM

He certainly did more for the team than Bonerko, Dunn, De Aza, and others yesterday. Tyler Flowers sucks for sure but you picked an odd day to damn the man. Just saying.

4/4/2014 10:50:43 AM

just wanted to point out Alexei is on a 5 game hitting streak (dating back to last season)

4/4/2014 8:17:36 PM

4/10/2014 1:09:00 PM

Abreu for Rookie of the Year?

4/11/2014 1:32:14 AM

He's looking stellar and is hitting all types of dingers.

4/11/2014 9:16:06 AM

don't know if it's sustainable, but it's great to see the Good Guys are leading the majors in scoring

70 runs through 11 games

4/12/2014 8:46:06 AM

13-game hit streak for Alexei

4/13/2014 4:20:26 PM

I know it's very early, but....

Alexei Ramirez 2014 American League Ranks:
• 1st in AL in BA (.420)
• 6th in AL in HR (3)
• 3rd in AL in RBI (12)
• 3rd in AL in R (11)
• 5th in AL in SB (3)
• 1st in AL in SLG (.680)
• 1st in AL in OPS (1.143)

4/13/2014 8:11:25 PM

Also consider he plays SS and he's probably a top 2 defensive SS. But Derek Jeter is awesome too jk

4/13/2014 8:59:48 PM

ladies and gentlemen, your 1st Place Chicago White Sox

Alexei up to 14 games. 2nd longest hitting streak in team history (that's pretty sad)

I calls em like I sees em

4/16/2014 12:02:55 AM

Somebody can't do math.

4/16/2014 1:54:34 AM

that someone is ESPN, as they still have the Sox listed in first place

4/16/2014 9:48:38 AM

Tied at best, but looks like second to me.

it'll be nice when the Tigers finally play some games. fewest games played in the Majors

4/16/2014 2:56:27 PM

Alexei has the longest hitting streak to start the season.

How soon to forget El Caballo...

Sox haven't won a game since tke jinxed them by lying about being in 1st place

4/19/2014 3:00:01 PM

we don't care about wins or losses

we just care about Alexei's hitting streak

streak over

4/19/2014 10:40:03 PM

we may never see this again in our lifetimes

in terms of batting average, #1 and #2 are White Sox

4/23/2014 11:11:54 PM

Yes, truly unprecedented for it to happen this late into a season

4/23/2014 11:14:10 PM

agreed

4/23/2014 11:40:55 PM

Abreu just won Rookie of the Year

4/27/2014 5:03:20 PM

saturday's game was cold and shitty
0-2 on the season

4/28/2014 1:02:42 PM

God put the Cubs in this world to give White Sox fans some small facade of self worth. I'm convinced. Cub/State fandom is hell on earth.

[Edited on May 7, 2014 at 8:44 PM. Reason : theo]

5/7/2014 8:42:59 PM

At least the Cubs farm has a lot of potential. Bryant, Baez, Vogelbach, Almora, Alcantara, Soler, Edwards

At least 1-2 of them have to live up to the hype...right?

5/7/2014 9:02:18 PM

haha yeah right


add all those players together and he's still not as good as Abreu

5/7/2014 9:35:41 PM

Lol okay.

[Edited on May 7, 2014 at 9:52 PM. Reason : he's 27 years old (at least)]

5/7/2014 9:40:26 PM

currently projected to hit 54 HR and 158 RBI. but yeah, he is 27.

5/8/2014 5:20:51 PM

You know that's not my point. The guy is a beast, and at 27 can't be compared to minor leaguers 5-7 years his junior.

5/8/2014 7:38:53 PM

I know, but he also had never played in the MLB before and at age 27 needs to come in and start producing pretty quickly. For every Ichiro there's another So Taguchi.

Anyway, last night's game sucked. 0-3 on the season at the Cell.
