Hydrogen Peroxide...aka Bleaching your goatee. You can also get the dye from a hairsalon (its basically peroxide in a sense). I know I used to have bleached hair back in the day.

Plus, I honestly think is there really such thing as too many good gestures? This is being done out of honor and respect for a person who not only had an impact on the face of baseball but an impact on our entire country.

Rob Bell is a former Reds starter, IIRC. I think he also had some time with the Drays as well. Probably has at least a couple seasons over major league experience and I had no idea the Knights had him on there roster.

Nice to see the club pick up its 5th in a row. Keep it up.

I have made an adjustment to the ad structure on the site with the ads solely appearing on the index page (as opposed to every page on the site). This may change in the future, but I wanted to just give a heads up in case people wonder what looks different.

WHOOOO

f*** yes Joe....awesome job by the guys before him to get on too@!!!!!!

Alright Quentin...get er done.

Alright Paulie....time for a baseknock.

I'm running an upgrade script on one of the other TCS's sites so it could cause a crash or two. Hopefully not. I plan on upgrading Soxtalk tonight if my other upgrades go smoothly. I use them as my test upgrades.

I have tried to cancel (it auto renewed) and after waiting on hold someone finally picks up and says I'll get a call back...nothing.

I'm going to be setting up a new chatroom for the Bears site and will post a link in it for the ST members (to check it out) and let me know if they are fans of it. If so, I will set it up here as well. It will integrate directly with the forum so when you log onto the site and click ot the chat your username will carry over and you can even click on a members name in the chat and access the profile from the forums.

I agree

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 10:19 AM) i know im in the vast minority, but i love joe morgan...he has a way better baseball mind than alot of people give him credit for...everyone says hes stupid...hes not at all...perhaps hes not entirely educated about the players in the game today, but he is plenty educated about the actual game play...plus i get the sense that the guy truly enjoys a good baseball game, and has a deep appreciation for the subtleties that exist in each and every game...and i personally think he communicates that very well....i feel if there is every a trick on a good pick off move from a pitcher, or a mechanical flaw with a base runner, he picks up on it and lets his audience know.....hes a throwback type guy, which is what i love with announcers (why i like hawk and harry callis and vin scully) you just hear alot about ERAs of baseball that you dont hear about many other places... not to mention goddamn that guy had one hell of a swing I can definately buy into what you say above and I totally agree that he absolutely loves the game and you can tell how much enthusiasm he has for it through his broadcasts. I know Vin Scully isn't as good today as he once was (he isn't as sharp with today's baseball game) but the stuff I learn listening to his games is just awesome (it takes you back in time listening to him, for me, to a generation that I've only seen in highlights or heard from my dad/grandpa).

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 10:10 AM) Just looking at his numbers when healthy he was a 30/100 .900 guy which is pretty much all you ask of your rightfielder. Yep. I would love to have Quentin put up those sort of numbers for most of his career in Chicago and I think he has that sort of ability.

Morgan just isn't that smart about what players have accomplished. Ie, him saying Dye would have a tremendous season ignoring the fact that two years ago Jermaine had one of the best seasons in all of baseball. He just makes a lot of puzzling comments. I don't mind him because he has a good broadcasting voice but a lot of times you have to take his statements at heart. Including the comments about the Sox becoming a smart ball type of club because that is just a major misconceptoin about the 05 Sox. Yes they had Pods a top the order but the big key was the rotation and pen and you can't ignore the fact that the 05 Sox could still slug homers with the best of em.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 09:56 AM) http://youtube.com/watch?v=loFA83ESREo i would say you are correct sir, very similar stances...little bit of an uppercut swing, especially on the low pitch... btw its always amazing to me how much of a local hero tim salmon was to the angel fans, but i guess he did play his whole career there and was fairly decent I never was a big Salmon fan, always thought he was over-rated but today when looking for his stance to verify my assumptions were correct I stopped by his baseball reference page and the guy was pretty damn good when healthy (very good eye and a rock solid defensive RFer). I guess my issue was I remember him for his last few years where he was pretty broken down (he consistently posted above average OPS+'s though).

Tim Salmon. I know people compared him to Canseco and they look a like, but I also think his swing has a s***load of similarities to Salmon (I kept trying to figure it out the past few games and it finally hit me this morning).

QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 01:42 AM) I think the Sox will finish ahead of the Royals, but KC isn't that terrible this year. If the Sox win less than 75 they won't finish ahead of the Royals. I wouldn't put $50 on that fact. Royals have a pretty darn good 1 through 3 (if it stays healthy) in the rotation and a nice back end of the pen. They will for sure finish better than the Twins. If the Sox play like they are, the Royals will be kind of by themselves in 4th with the other 3 teams battling for the division and a wild card spot.

Beautiful...beautiful win and a great start to the season. Lets keep it up White Sox!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 07:52 PM) This was a great series. If the Sox go on to have a memorable season, one could point to this series as the momentum starter. After last year all I can say is that we should all take in a little extra joy over this. Let it wash out that bad taste of 07 and get ready for some more. I really could get used to watching this team if they keep playing like they have this season. Come on SOX!!!!

4 game winning streak!!!! Sweep of the Tigers!!!! Lets keep this up

Another DP...YES. Mac actually pitched pretty damn solid. Didn't get hit hard and showed some nasty stuff. I'd still like to see more strikes though.

QUOTE(BurlyMan56 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 07:42 PM) Offensive onslaught on national television, maybe they'll start mentioning us. If not, that's fine too. If they keep playing like this I don't care if we don't get mentioned till the end of October (kind of like what happened in 05, hehe).
