We can't give up on Garland yet. He's had some incredible games. Somehow we have to get him to get his head out of his ass, however. Maybe Koch should take him under his wing and rib him like he does Big Frank.

Crede's statement about the call was awesome. Perfect. He is a class act and I now am a big, big Crede fan. I like this guy.

Baggs said it all. Our decent record says we haven't lost a pennant yet, unless we are led to believe the R's can keep winning like this. This is getting serious at 16-3. I think Baggs is right, though. The season starts with the games Baggs said. I hope we are able to kick some butt. Unfortunately the Twins have been getting their asses kicked and are probably due to rebound.

At least the Royals have beaten the truly s*** teams. I wish we'd dominate the crummy teams. It's not a good sign we are 2-4 vs. KC. We should be 5-1 versus KC

Good point Killa, but I thought Valentin was hitting pretty well. I wished we got more games on TV in KC

My expectations are winning the division. I guess if we stay over .500 we will not make any managerial changes, but I'd like to see us start to kick ass as soon as the weather warms consistently. I guess 2 over .500 is good enough for a while, but if we lose a couple series in late May or June and are still very close to .500 I'd make a managerial change.

I agree we have been frustrating at times despite a pretty good record. Hope Konerko can get it going afore long.

If he ain't 100 percent then we better play Rios. He might be our Loiza of the field. A guy destined to have a great year. I'm moderately concerned about our team. Anybody else?

That sucks he got robbed. Maybe we should have hired Dusty Baker instead of the Scrubs. Is our skipper capable of leading us to a 30 games over .500 season?

Should we bring up Borchard now? How come Aaron suddenly is Royce revisited?

It is funny. I like what Koch is doing to Big Frank. We need good clubhouse guys like you said. My opinion on the season: Hey we need to get our act completely together. Loiza is 4-0 and we still are not dominant. I'm not complaining, but what a nice addition he has turned out to be. None of us were counting on a dominant No. 3 guy. Is KW a better GM than I envisioned? Jimenez is doing well; Olivo looks good. Loiza is awesome, etc. You've got to think we are gonna be in good shape this season. p.s. Will Kansas like Bill Self? I covered Roy Williams and he's gone and now we have Self who appears to be a great guy.

I know what you mean bout Detroit, but hey I'm glad we're taking care of business against the crap teams. We can't get swept by the Royals next time.

That is wild he is pitching again. Who's he with? I have no idea but my prediction is Expos or Brews. I also loved his performance with the sox.

I did bash Sandy when we signed him. I see he kicked the bleep out of Cleveland. Nice. Is he really attacking the ball or getting lucky or what? I can't imagine Sandy hitting. The few games I get to see on TV in the past he looks so helpless at the plate. But numbers don't lie. He must be whacking the ball. Kudos to Sandy.

I haven't gotten to see him yet either but it sounds like he's been awesome. How'd we get this guy and what is his best pitch?? We are on a roll as a team. Nice.

I was watching and also happy to see that double. That was nice. Hopefully Crede will be fine. That sucked when my boy Jose booted that routine grounder. And it sucked to see De'Angelo go 0-for-4. But it was just one rotten game. No bright spots when we get three frickin hits. Let's go Sox.

As usual, very great points, Baggs. Very good points. In my post, I meant to say Runlys Hernandez or Fernandez or whatever his name is really pitched welll. I don' t think it was all our ineptness. If we continue to do the things Baggs pointed out, JM will be gone a month into the season. I will not panic after one game, we could blast the R's the next two days but we did suck on Opening Day, no question about it. I don't think JM has a long leash this year. He will be gone soon if we don't win 2 of 3 games in several series. That's my opinion at least. Although we might be too cheap to can his butt. By the way I live in KC area and R's fans think Game Two pitcher Affeldt is also gonna stymie our Sox bats.

Don't fret yet. Sure we were pathetic, but the R's starter Runlys was really nasty. He impressed me when he whiffed Maggs looking and went 3-0 on some Sox hitter and ended up getting him out with no problem. I thought we played s*** but it's one game. We sure didn't look like winners today, but at least Mark B. pitched well enough to win. It is amazing, however, that it always looks on paper like we're gonna have a potent offense but while I'm not panicking I sure hate when instant out Alomar is in the lineup. I will be dismayed if we lose all three. We need to win one of three at least. A sweep would be bad.

It'd be nice to have our young guys whack at least five hits apiece in the series against the crap Royals. I know the series means nothing in the grand scheme, but it sure would be nice to win 2-3. Or 3-3. 1-3 will be moderately annoying. A Royals sweep will be bothersome.

I'm kind of intrigued by Aaron Miles. I wonder if he shoulda gotten the job.

that's wild i am here in anaheim rite now waiting for tomorrow's elite eight game. no sox game for me monday either way. rats.

We need to win 2 of 3 but I fear we are only gonna win one.

lee is the better player, folks.

you mean you'll be in KC for the opener or n. orleans? come down on press row and look for me. Go Sox

Thanks for the facts. Gordon worries me for some reason. Remember I said that cause my worries often turn into reality. Off to Anaheim chisoxfan. I don't know if Kansas can beat Duke and Zona/ND but your are right if they win I ain't going to the opener in KC.
