Its crazy to see how much more high tech we've gotten.

Happy Birthday Alex. Make it a good one. Oh, I found out what I need to get to be able to set up the show from my end now

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 09:35 AM) I've already bought my ticket. What is included for the price, BTW? Besides the patio party. Food? And our seats? Anybody know where they are? The patio party includes food and drinks before the game and something like an hr into the game (IIRC).

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 09:03 AM) In a big game situation, Thornton might be brought out like he was last night, but just to face Hafner. He K'd Hafner with a pretty good sequence(from what I could tell in my seat) but them came back out for the next inning. Im not sure how much that is going to happen. On a related note, Cliff did not look good at all last night. His velocity was way down and he got hit hard. Its something we brought up on the show today. By far the least impressive of everyone that played last night.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) This scout obviously paid no attention to Brian the last 2-3 weeks of spring training. Seriously...I was worried about him early on and since than I've felt a lot more comfortable about him.

I was outside the last hr. What exactly is going on? They haven't cancelled it or anything? Is it still 3-3?

ESPN is so lame. Instead of me getting the game on ESPN HD they have womens basketball final 4 on the main station and since I don't have ESPN HD 2 (and most cable providers don't have that) I'm stuck having to not get that game in High Def. Its pretty simple ESPN. Baseball >>>> ratings than womens basketball. SO why are you so stupid that you put the baseball game on ESPN 2 instead of your main station (especially since it hoses anyone that has cable and wants to watch the game in high def).

The problem with earthquake insurance is most of its a total scam. People figured that out the last few earthquakes. People used to have earthquake insurance and than when homes were destroyed it never paid out like expected and there were all these news stories out here about how bad it was and insurance companies started to incredibly rip people off. Its pretty pathetic too, considering homes probably should have that type of coverage.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) Ya, hopefully he can find a home. That f***in lady deserves to have her head chopped off, I f***in hate people like that. Nothing gets me more than when people treat pets like garbage. I so hope someone can adopt Scotty.

This is the best of all of them I've seen. Totally awesome.

Oh hell ya...baseball season starts today. Everything starts over and we go for this baby again

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) .......and they follow it up with a 5-2 loss to Columbus. Led 2-1, then, well.............ugh. Critic...get your Hawks enthusiast butt over to talkbhawks.com

Also, you guys may want to check out FutureSox. This article was written for FutureSox, but any FutureSox articles also appear on Soxtalk. However, FutureSox.com has been revamped and our top 25 should be out in a week. We have the seeding done and a good chunk of the writeups are done as well. FutureSox, b****es.

QUOTE(Dan @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 02:38 PM) its that time of year again, opening day starts tomorrow and the sox are defending the world title. last year i decided that i wanted to start my own white sox baseball blog but wanted to start from opening day thru. my question is: does anybody know where i can set up a sox baseball blog account? include some links if you can. thanks! Your more than welcome to contribute to our front page

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 10:09 AM) Guys, I think this is a very fair deal for both teams and I also believe there is a good chance of this happening. The Brewers are unhappy with Carlos Lee, he didn't come to camp in great shape and he's had nagging injuries as a result. The Cubs aren't thrilled with Rich Hill, he has not come on as expected and Angel Guzman looked better but they're not sold on his health. As for Matt Murton, Dusty Baker isn't thrilled with him. There is no way Carlos Lee would re-up with Milwaukee, the Brewers know it. This trade makes sense for both sides but I would love to see the Cubs pay even more in terms of giving up talent. Ya this makes some sense to me. The Brewers get two pitching prospects that are basically major league ready and a young outfielder to come in. This fits with there time table of emerging in a year or two (although I think they will be pretty solid this year). This makes a lot of sense.

BlackHawks Finally Pull Past the Wings, 3-2 By Matthew Perioli The Blackhawks have had a heck of a time dealing with the Detroit Red Wings this season. They headed into Friday night's game with an 0-6 record this year against Detroit, and goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin had been pulled from each of the last two losses against the Wings. However, the Hawks, for one night at least, have bragging rights after defeating Detroit by a final score of 3-2 in overtime.

Has to be a lame April Fools joke

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 09:15 AM) Got a rookie in the outfield too. Our relief pitching has been talked about on here more than ESPN talks about barry bonds. But were developing him right. He's going to be the final hitter in the lineup and he's going to have very little pressure on him. The same can't be said for all the guys in the pen. Remember, all this said I fully expect Kenny to make a trade (probably sooner rather than later) and maybe even a 2nd deal (if something happens and Jenks can get his velocity back cause he was a lazy bum in the offseason) and we will win the division.

So should they not be able to wear Brace's either. I realize Brace's deal more with an injury thing but Kobe wore those compression tights because he said they helped him respond in back to back games, etc. Plus it helped keep his muscles warm when he was working back from an injury. I don't go to the game to see what the players wear, I go or watch because I want to see them play. The NBA needs to realize that. The dress code isn't the issue, its the lack of fundementals in this league thats the problem.

So I guess I'm the only one who thinks Woody Paige is the funniest man alive.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 08:45 AM) Vizcaino didn't suck. He had about 4 or 5 bad games, but besides that, he was pretty reliable. So many of us were busy bashing him, that we overlooked how many big outs he actually got for us. Plus he was the type of guy that you could run out 3 or 4 days in a row and he'd only get better. I couldn't believe how much hate Viz took because he had a few awful appearances early on. He was a horse out of our pen and will be missed. Even Marte had his bright spots for at least half of the season.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 08:46 AM) Hey jas, speaking of Anaheim, is Chris Bootcheck going to make that team? He's from a town over from me, and I remember his HS days well. He's finally made some progress, but I have my doubts as to whether he'll ever stick in Anaheim. He's definately been a big bust. IIRC a few years back his stuff kind of dissapeared and he's never quite been the same. He's been solid in the minors, but nothing amazing. Supposed to be a hard worker though. He's in trouble though because the Angels got at least a few other guys ahead of him on the list, but Bootcheck could make a spot start if someone goes down (although I think that will be Weaver's job) or fit into the back of the pen if someone goes down.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 08:34 AM) Yes. And there are already loud whispers he's not healthy in Arizona. Oh ya, good riddance to Duque. I long hoped we could get rid of him. My flaws werent necessarily with getting Vazquez, although I thought it was a completely useless trade (however I am excited to see what he could do) simply because I'm perfectly comfortable with keeping Chris Young as ammo later in the year and giving McCarhty a shot. I'm more than willing to go with our top 4 and McCarthy to start the year and have enough ammo in the farm system to get guys if necessary and than focus my money on another reliever and of course finding a team willing to take Duque off our hands. And while this is all in hindsight I do think I was said right after the trade (after we lost Marte and Viz) that these would be fine moves as long as he replaces these guys with solid major leaguers because our system has crap. He didn't and I think the team is going to pay the price.
