only 44 years old. his chances are decent (67ish percent) but not great. sad indeed.

turns out it's stage four meaning it's spread to other parts of his body bringing his odds way down. on average his survival is around 4%.

Spring Training kicking off and we haven't missed a step.

Outscored 20-9 in our first 3 last year.

22-9 this year.

Buckle up boys.

yeah, but my bb instinct still says spring training doesn't mean a thing. i'm trying real hard (you know it's not easy for me ) to be patient and let them shake out the team and at least start to see some improvement.
but i'm sure not going to pay mlb to watch the games this year!

so all the hype about colson montgomery is just that .... hype. everyone was absolutely sure he's our starting ss. now he's back in AAA.

On paper this team is way worse than last yrs teams. I expect them to win more games but it’s hard to care about this franchise anymore

sox dfa clevenger. what i like is the fact they aren't sticking with losers! at least they're willing to keep looking for something better.

Man it would be nice if Colorado won 40 games or less this season. Probably won't...but it would be nice not to die with the White Sox still holding that record.

all the build up for montgomery for a couple years now and the guy is a total flop. can't break .150 in the minors.

they're both on target to finish worse than last year's sox (.253). sox are at .233 but the rocks are worse (.167).

First series win of the season! Quero seems to be doing a good job at the plate so far.

actually the second. but yeah, quero looks to be a real player and we don't have many of those.

i have a theory. robert and vaughn are the two worst players on the team ...... on purpose. they want out of this chicken-shit organization.
