Minor League Recap By Jason Gage April 10, 2003 (For April 9th's Games) SoxNet.net

Yep, it was an ugly game. Gonna have the entire minor league recap up in about 10 minutes. Not much work for this one though considering only one game was played.

When the Sox drafted Malone they completely rebuilt his delivery so it will take him some time. This kid will be really good though, as long as he stays healthy. He'll probably go up to AAA in the second half of the season, but I could see him playing another full season of AAA next year as well.

Well, for once in the past 10 years the Braves need pitching.

It sure is amazing. This is three straight games he's pitched in where the team has given up over 10 runs. I know they didn't want him back to begin with, but still, Maddux has to get better.

He was out and I think JM should of done something. It was obviously a close play and if you look at the replay you see that he's out. I'm not telling JM to argue about every little thing like Larry Bowa, but that play makes a difference and considering how lifeless the team was looking, you got to do something. Plus, he had a very legit gripe. Manuel needs to stay in Cleveland while the rest of the team heads to Detroit. What was even stupider was leaving Carlos Lee up with a couple guys on. With him struggling you have to go to Daubach.

Jordan had second thoughts as you can see in this article http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-b...ov=ap&type=lgns Also, Scottie Pippen told the Bulls that if they were to offer the midlevel exception and some type of management position or something along those lines he'd be playing with the Bulls last year. I was never a huge Pippen fan, but he'd be the perfect addition to this team, imo. Jordan, Pipp, Paxson and BJ eventually in the same front office, sounds like a plan to me. I think they all have their plusses and I'm very comfortable with any of Jordan, Paxson or BJ in the front office.

You mean like Jim Parque? I Think I'd have to laugh like this for a few hundred years before I ever thought that

Hey, I don't think I'm over-hyping him. I usually am on the conservating end when it comes to prospects and I think I'm being conservative saying that he'll be a star if he doesn't get injured. Part of me thinks he could be one of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest, but I'm not going to even think that until I see him keep pitching awesome and continuing to get better over the years. It takes a lot more then talent and control to become the best ever, you have to be flat out amazing.

Between the Ears with Sports Psych Chris Myers By Chris Myers April 10, 2003 SoxNet.net

All I know is I sure as heck don't want to see that one.

I wish I watched it. Prior is plain filthy. An injury is the only way this guy doesn't live up to his hype. He features so many plus pitchers and more importantly he can throw them all for strikes and has an effortless delivery. This kid is so mature for his age. I have to say he's the best pticher I've ever seen for his age. *Remember I'm 19 so I haven't been watching baseball as long as some. Either way I think he's amazing. I never saw Doc Gooden do what he did to start his career.

Recap: Garland Beat Again, Sox Lose 5-2 By Mario Scalise April 9, 2003 SoxNet.net Jon Garland was hit for five runs in six innings and the offense came up empty on several chances as the Sox fell to the Indians Wednesday night, 5-2. Garland is now 0-1 on the season with a 9.00 ERA, giving up 10 runs in 10 innings pitched, and the Sox are back to .500 at 4-4. On the other side, Indians' starter Brian Anderson improved to 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA after his six-inning, two-run outing. The Indians jumped on top to an early lead and never looked back, scoring two runs in the second with a Karim Garcia single. Milton Bradley and Omar Vizquel, who scored on the play, reached base with an infield single to second and soft single to right center. The Sox had their chance in the first to start things off with a D'Angelo Jimenez leadoff walk, but Jimenez was picked off first by Anderson. Tony Graffanino then doubled, followed by a Frank Thomas strikeout and Magglio Ordonez fly out to end the inning. Paul Konerko connected for his first homer and fourth hit of the season in the second to cut the defecit in half. But the Indians came right back with a run off a Milton Bradley sacrifice fly to right, scoring Casey Blake. Up 3-1, the Indians added a fourth run in the fourth with a Brandon Phillips solo home run, and a fifth run in the seventh off of reliever Kelly Wunsch. Wunsch came in for Garland after Garland gave up a leadoff double. After getting Bradley to fly out, Phillips stole third and then scored on a Vizquel sacrifice fly. The Sox added their second and last run in the fifth with Josh Paul -- starting at catcher -- hitting a single and scoring two outs later on a Thomas double. Anderson was pulled after six innings in favor of Jose Santiago. Santiago threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings and Danys Baez picked up his third save with 1 2/3 scoreless innings. The Sox failed on two other scoring chances. Once in the third with two men in scoring position and one out, which resulted in an Ordonez fly out and Jimenez getting thrown out at the plate after tagging up. Then, with men on first and second in the eighth, Konerko and Carlos Lee were put out to end the inning. Rick White relieved Wunsch with two outs in the seventh, ending the inning and throwing a scoreless 1-2-3 eighth. Joe Crede committed his third error of the season with a errant throw to first base in the seventh off a grounder. The series' finale will be on Thursday at 6:05 p.m. CT with Mark Buehrle -- moving up to Esteban Loaiza's spot -- starting against 22-year-old righty Jason Davis. Loaiza will now start the opening series against the Tigers, followed by Josh Stewart and Bartolo Colon going in games two and three.

Alright, Fixed the Time Problem. It should look good for everyone.

Test

Ok - all done. That should help fix the time issue and give a little more efficient coding.

But was just going to inform everyone just in case it goes down for a couple minutes.

No Luck But instead I added a new header and new smilies Also working on new colors and trying to figure out the time thing.

We got a new flag for that Matthew Duely noted. But what the hell is this? I dunno, I saw it and just busted out laughing. IT was one of those its so stupid its freaking hillarious.

Remember he steered you wrong once before. He also steered apu wrong So far he's 0-1 in my book.

We got a new flag for that Matthew

I dunno, I kind of think KW looks hillarious in that picture. We'll see if I can convince Ian to add some more player pics

Tell me guys if you like it how more of them are on the left or if I should hide some of them so it stays even with the written area. Special Thanks to Steff for hooking us up with these great smiles For those USA Fans and for our many Canadian posters We also have and what I'm guessing with be RPS's :finger favorite

I think Ian could be bad for his own health
