SleepyWhiteSox Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 11:54 AM) I'll second the notion that I don't like these ridiculous titles for the game threads. I didn't mind it for spring training games. One HUGE plus, for me, is the inclusion of what channel the game will be on. I hope all game threads provide that information along with the time, pitching matchups and lineup because I usually come on here for info before a game.

HuskyCaucasian Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 11:02 AM) I agree 100% but Ramirez should be at 2B and Anderson CF. I have been saying that for a while. Plus I think Anderson + Ramirez is MUCH better than Ramirez + Uribe offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 01:47 PM) I've been debating whether or not I should say something here. But I'm going to. Knightni, I understand the spirit behind your thread title. They are the Cleveland Indians, and we don't like these guys. I got it. But, considering what smallpox laden blankets did the native American population, this thread title does not meet the standards that I've come to expect here at Soxtalk. I really think the Soxtalk powers that be should give this some thought. Okay, I'm done. I've had my say. Politically correct always wins in this day and age. Plus it's just plain right in this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official Game Thread 04/02/08 - Tribe vs Sox, 6:05, WCIU Carmona (0-0, -.-- ERA) vs Vazquez (0-0, -.-- ERA) If peeps wanted to make other comments smart ass or otherwise...then they would go in the post.... Vazquez posted a 2-1 record with a 3.06 ERA against the Indians last year. He led all White Sox starters in wins, strikeouts and innings pitched and is looking to prove he's worth the 3 year extension he received late last year. Carmona busted on the scene with a 19-8 record and a 3.06 ERA in 32 starts. He's out to show he can be consistent in his sophmore year and beginners luck had nothing to do with last years dominance.

Controlled Chaos Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) Lets rock them. yes to get back on topic...I would really like to send a message these next two games. If the Sox can take them, it would get it in the Tribe's minds that they actually had a real good chance of getting swept. Which I think would be beneficial the next time we played.

Javy pitching. Got it from an MLB blog, dont know how accurate. I certainly like that lineup better than our opening day one, although I wish Anderson was in CF and Alexi at 2nd. At least we wont have to watch Uribe strike out 3 more times tonight. Lets get that first "W" tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just don't get Swisher batting 5th... he should hit 3rd, Thome 5th... that's what conventional wisdom says. Either way, go get em! On a side note, some peers and myself will be taking the game in at Dick's River Roadhouse tonight, if anyone's bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I just have lost a lot of faith in Uribe's offense over the last year or two. Its gonna take more than one double for him to get it back. I want more hitters that put the bat on the ball more than once a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 So, let me just see if I understand this. We're carrying 2 backup OF's right now in Anderson and Quentin. And yet...we keep putting a guy who's probably behind both of them with the bat and who should legit be an infielder on this team for the future in the OF, because? We don't like having backup IF's? Maybe we'll get the Sunday lineup tomorrow and see Quentin and Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vazquez pitching. Yes, it has both Swisher and Ramirez playing CF. Swisher is in LF. We're getting the same lineup today as we got on Opening Day (except AJ and Ramirez are flipped). Should be fun watching Uribe flail at high fastballs and Ramirez swinging at pitches that are already in the catcher's glove once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsox Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The good feeling I had going into tonight's game is all but gone with Uribe in there yet again Hope Swish and OC can revive it so Thome gives Indian fans a real reason to boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will hit .350 in September to push him to .240. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
