The season has started!

   The White Sox have started the season 2-0 against the always pesky Minnesota Twins. It didn't take long for the White Sox to revert back to their horrendous base running blunders of 2013, with Tyler Flowers running into an out during yesterday's game. I'm curious to see how Marcus Semien does during Gordon Beckham's absence, as he's 0-for-2014 thus far (perhaps he's pressing a bit-who knows?). A few more games like this and he COULD be headed back to AAA once Beckham returns (Semien never played a full season at AAA Charlotte, so...).

I'm curious to see how the new pitchers do for the White Sox, as they have a number of new faces on their staff who either weren't with them last season or were with them only part of the year. Oftentimes, people will say, "It's early, it's early", but I ALWAYS want the White Sox to get off to a good start at the beginning of the season. To me, it's a lot better than scrambling to play catch-up later on. I always want to be up 20 games at the beginning of September.

I think that the keys for the Pale Hose are pitching, defense, and for CRYING OUT LOUD, smart base running!!!
