QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) Just going by the commentary on here from last inning(3rd) as I can't watch teh game. Your cable company lame like mine. All thats on is the NHL channels. Thank goodness this is the last day the NHL will interview with my MLB package.

Tie game

Come on Crede, take advantage of this error.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) Now I wouldn't say that Jas. And I'm surprised Felix that you had Buerhle on that list. Why not Garland? He had a career year. Not saying Buehrle is undeserving as well, but I'm just stating don't count out what Garland did. As a matter of fact, I remember a poster here who compared Garland and Santanas' stats to Colons and that Colon really shouldn't had gotten it. Garland's Line W-18 L-10 ERA-3.50 G-32 GS-32 CG-3 SHO-3 IP-221.0 H-212 R-93 ER-86 HR-26 BB-47 SO-115 Colon's Line W-21 L-8 ERA-3.48 G-33 GS-33 CG-2 SHO-0 IP-222.2 H-215 R-93 ER-86 HR-26 BB-43 SO-157 Santana's Line W-16 L-7 ERA-2.87 G-33 GS-33 CG-3 SHO-2 IP-231.2 H-180 R-77 ER-74 HR-22 BB-45 SO-238 And to mind you, Garland did miss a start, who knows how he would had done but I can bet you his line would had been better than Colons if we would started another game plus the year he had last season. You can make a case for Garland or Santana, but all that aside, Santana DID get robbed IMO, and this is evident. I can buy the Santana argument, but Garland's line was close to Colon's, only one difference, Colon was the ace of the Angels and that carries some weight to voters. In terms of Santana, the reality of it is, while people can call wins fluke or whatever they want, they do matter in the Cy Young race and 5 wins is a rather large difference.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 02:15 PM) I believe a kid named Jason Gage called a Cy Young this year for Jose Contreras this spring. Wait, do I have that name right?

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 10:35 AM) Far from being true. Look at last year with Colon. There were at least 3 other pitchers who should have won it instead of him (Rivera, Buehrle, Santana). Colon flat out deserved it.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 08:45 AM) Well, as of right now, Broadway and Fields have both been freakin dynamite so far. Broadway=> 2-0, 2.00, 18 IP, 13 H, 3 BB, 18 K Fields=>.319/.353/.489 2 HR, 8 RBI, 3 SB in 27 AB. Still, 3 BB, 16 K. Looks like their walk and strikeout numbers might be close this year. Plus you have Lummy pitching great at Bham and Liotta should be just fine. We also have had the early emergence of Orlando (for Kanny) who is very quick and pretty talented. This is his first year in the states with the organization (in fact he was just signed during this off-season, IIRC).

He missed the past two games with a sore index finger, but he is back.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) From the small amount of footage I've seen of Broadway pitching, I thought he had a 4 seamer that sits in the low 90s, and a sharp breaking 2 seamer that sits in the high 80s, and obviously the spike curve. I didn't see any mention of his 2 seamer in the article. He'll ocassionally throw a 2 seamer, but its a pitch that he's been tinkering with and isn't part of his typical arsenal at this point. The vasty majority of the time he goes with his 4 seamer, but when Mike Doyle (one of our writers at FS) interviewed him just after he was drafted one of the things that came up was how he planned on working on developing another FB so he could better move the ball both in and out.

Glad to see our bench in. I'd have Widge in for AJ too, but what do I know. I'd even have no problem putting Mack in RF for Dye. Basically put get all the reserves in (sans Uribe and BA since they need more AB's).

That didn't look like a strike to me. I won't blame BA for not swinging at that.

1-2-3 Inning

BA just made a stellar grab in CF.

Got doubled up, but he was on base which was a start.

CREDE!!!!

PAULIE....YESSSSSSSSSSS 3-0 GOOD GUYS

2006 FutureSox Top 25: 5-1 By FutureSox.com The White Sox traded numerous top 25 prospects over the off-season. This puts added pressure on the recent Sox draft and you'll see many of the 05 draft included in the 06 list. With the strenght of the organization at the lower levels, the keys to the Sox minor league system will be in terms of developing the guys in A Ball and getting them up to Bham as soon as possible because the team is very thin on prospects that could help the major league club in the near future. Today, we will release 5-1. Following the full release we would like to hear your thoughts and answer your questions, so please send those to us at contact@futuresox.com.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 03:10 PM) I'm liking the 24-man roster. And a solid polint about Ozzie and his character with the Gooch-Garcia fiasco. And I love the Stooges argument. The breakdown of the cake saying... I like these a lot, because I don't have really any kind of sports radio to tune into. That cake saying has been getting on my nerves for years. A lot of those sayings are just weird and most of them I don't get.

Sweet stuff.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) Jason, Gooch's play was great, but I think Bengie was a little more than 20 ft out of the box. LOL. Obviously you don't know Bengie Molina like I do.

Hell, I was the one sporting the playoff beard during October Funny post though.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 01:57 PM) Can't blame the Sox for the date. 2 dates were given and the WSI majority picked 5/22 for Frank's return. Ya, plus WSI tends to really like Frank so they wanted to be there. I can't blame them, its a sentimental game and obviously weekend games will be crowded and even a weekday game in June or July will be tougher than say a May game. I remember hearing they may do a 2nd one, but my guess is with a low turnout in the 1st one (or at least it appears that way), it seems that they'd be reluctant to do one during the summer. I know if its June/July/August I'm so there.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 05:53 PM) Different situations with Pods and Brian. I agree that he needs to play but ozzie might have wanted to give him a few days off just to clear his head. I'd bet he plays the whole KC series. Plus you have to remember Pods has had success at hte major leauge level, Anderson hasn't.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:56 AM) I would just like to say in people's defense that a Monday nite in May is a horrible time to have this outing and expect 300 people to show. People have to work, there are people still away at college, and kids are still in high school. It was unrealistic to expect a big turnout with those circumstances. I know it looks bad, but the date picking was awful. There are lots of proms, finals, field trips, work etc that make this impossible for a lot of people. And some people are graduating from college that week/weekend

The Sox are back in first thanks to a powerful offense and despite a few bad pitching performances. Thome has mashed 7 HR's while Buehrle was fined for sliding on the tarp.
