If Frank ever decides to retire, I hope the Sox will sign him to a one day or so contract and let him bat for the Sox for one game so that the fans can give him a final goodbye .... I would love to attend that game if it happened. Guaranteed sell out.

KW has won the trades he made with Philly and Texas, and it looks like he will at least be equal on the trade with the As (too early to figure out how Gio and DLF do but I love Swish at the top of the line up) For those always bi-tching about our farm system, maybe some of those morons realizehow filling up a major league roster with really young players like Swish, Danks, Floyd, Quentin is MUCH better since they actually help you win NOW and are part of the future relatively cheap. Nice job Kenny.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 12:57 AM) Re-signing Uribe Wow, Mr Positive true to his form Obviously, the fact that we had no choice at that pont but to re-sign Uribe is lost on an ignoramus like you; the fact that Cabrera was available after Uribe was re-signed; and the fact that Kenny did what he had to do to get OCab; Uribe is a back up IF or a #9 batter with very good D at 2B for us....not the end of the world; unless it is you of course

One of these days, people will start to trust Kenny around here Gavin Floyd, Danks, Swisher, Cabrera, Linebrink, Dotel, Nick Masset, Joe Crede etc etc

Oh ok.....crap Just when I was getting excited

.... Lets sweep and keep the momentum going I am enjoying listening to the pre game show on WSCR....Stoney is so much fun to listen to. Quick q: since WSCR radio feed is free on the internet, why would anyone pay for the MLB radio package? Anyone here doing that? If yes, why?

Rodney gets good news from Dr Andrews....no idea though on when he will return yet http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...rtnered=rss_det

Det up 2-1 on CC Sabathia thanks to a 2 run homer from Piggy

3 outs in 11 pitches....not bad against one of the hotter teams in the league.

Except for one Buerhle fan who hated Big Frank (cannot remember his name), I do not think you will find any other fan who will say No in this thread.

The next 28 games (which will be 40 games total) are brutal for the tiggers: Yankees 6 times, Twins 5 times, Jays & Red Sox 4 times each, Rangers & Angels 3 times each, Indians twice and Royals once, AND they have only 2 off days scheduled between now and then. With their BP, it could be ovah by 1/4 season.

2-10 bi-tches 5-1 bi-tches

Tiggers get off the schneide....time to win the series tomorrow for both Soxes....and then we get another chance to beat up on the Tiggers.

QUOTE (sox-r-us @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 04:03 PM) Ozzie was recently quoted as saying that you cannot steal 1st base and he would much rather have someone who gets on base at lead off (Swish) than someone who has speed but does not get on base as much as the other guy (see Owens). Here is the quote. Hopefully, now we can stop the perception that Ozzie would rather have Owens lead off instead of Swish (which is not true at all) http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...1,2007109.story

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 04:34 PM) Its been 7 freaking games!!! Yes, it is very encouraging the start they are on, but that does not mean Joe is back. He hadnt played for 10 months before this and he had an awful spring. I would love if he came back and he has started off well, but lots of people can go on a 7 game streak in thie league. And to say they are ahead of their 2006 pace is ridiculous. Its been 7 games. As someone said, Crede is on pace for over 200 RBI. I'm not gonna lie and say i'm not excited or optimistic about this team, because I am. They are playing great to start the year and i am thoroughly enjoying it. However, to get too excited because of 7 games to start the year is irresponsible. Looks like you are suffering from some bitter lemonade (see your sig - you may soon have to change it ... just kidding )
