I'll be there, also want to come up to the UD and chat with ya so I can see what it's like up there if you're still planning on sitting up there...I am in 129 for all 3 games of the series.

This is a no brainer, Kelly, HE GAWN! I feel bad for what happened with him tonight, but that sealed his fate.

Yes I will be there, would you wanna meet up with Steff and others in the parking lot prior to the game?

Come on Loz

If you want him to enter the game at SS...

Don't know what Maggs was looking for there, but he wasn't sitting on a fastball because that was right there...

This guy has a decent breaking ball...

Nice stop by Uribe there.

Jas, that'd be too much to ask for...

I believe he got a game winning hit not too long ago and no one was talking about how bad of a hitter he was.... He's not a good hitter, but he's trying to do the job assigned to him the best he can. I can admire that.

Looks like Estey has a few pitches working to me...

So quick to rip people all the time, it's one at bat, get over it and move on...

Come on, get out of this with minimal damage estey.

Frank hit by a pitch, let's make them pay here guys...

So much for a Mags slump, 2-0 Sox

Agreed, I saw him out in Tucson, he's got potential but he is by no means ready for a step above AA.

Too bad we didn't know how well Uribe was going to play before the season and we could've saved a lot of money by not bringing back Manos....

Anyone else wanna give kudos to KW for fleecing Anaheim on this trade by giving up Glover (who is no longer with Anaheim) for Show? I believe we also gave up Scott Dunn (who we got for D'Angelo) and Bittner...Overall, I like that trade.

Isn't this thread just another reason for 2k4 to spam his post totals even higher?

I need to know so that I can upload the interviews I am doing this weekend to share with you guys on the site...If anyone knows how, please let me know ASAP...I already know how to get the files into Real format, just need instructions on how to get them online and all....

Nothing right now, we are 16-9.

I'm going to talk to Kelly on Saturday at the Knights game to see if I can get a sense from him what the deal is...He's a very approachable and nice guy and I am surprised that after all he has done for the Sox (like what he did at Soxfest) that he is being treated this way...I really feel for him because the guy is a good pitcher and a class act.

Some of these questions are repeated because they are solid questions so I am going to ask both players. Right now the plan is to definitely talk to both of these guys and then whoever else I can get I will ask some questions as well...If you have any other questions, get them in before Saturday...I could use a few others. Borchard questions: - What went into the decision making process when you decided to give up football full time to pursue a big league career with the White Sox? - What was the atmosphere like out in Tucson inside the clubhouse? What were your first impressions of Ozzie and his style of managing a ballclub? - There have been reports that Sox instructors have been working with you to shorten your swing and lessen strikeouts. Can you tell us what they've been working with you on specifically, is it hand position, pitch recognition, etc.? - What's it been like having some of the Sox regulars like Kelly, Jose and Danny here at Charlotte? - How closely do you follow the Sox when you're here in Charlotte? - Who's the toughest pitcher you've had to face thus far in your pro baseball career? - Word recognition with a few Sox prospects and other names, I'm going to say a name and I'd like to hear the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear these names: - Jeremy Reed; Frank Thomas; Ozzie Guillen; Ryan Sweeney; Barry Bonds. Reed questions: - Do you look at the major league team and see that they have a need for a 2 hole hitter, or do you more look away from that and just focus on the game knowing that it will sell yourself? - What was the atmosphere like out in Tucson inside the clubhouse? What were your first impressions of Ozzie and his style of managing a ballclub? - What type of workout regimen do you employ during the offseason to stay in good shape? - As you know, Baseball America has named you the top prospect in the Sox organization and one of the top prospects in all of baseball. Do you feel added pressure this season due to all of the accolades you received in the offseason after the season you had last year? - We saw you were hitting leadoff for at least one recent game. Has your manager or the organization said anything to you about being a future leadoff hitter? - What's it been like having some of the Sox regulars like Kelly, Jose and Danny here at Charlotte? - How closely do you follow the Sox when you're here in Charlotte? - Who's the toughest pitcher you've had to face thus far in your pro baseball career? - Word recognition with a few Sox prospects and other names, I'm going to say a name and I'd like to hear the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear these names: - Joe Borchard; Frank Thomas; Ozzie Guillen; Ryan Sweeney; Kris Honel.

I've got the recorder and everything set up, once i figure out how to convert the WAV files to Real Audio and I find somewhere to host the streaming audio from the interviews, we should be in business...

Oh the memories, I bet that was asked at least five times when I was at the Q & A sessions...
