QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) Now I can finally put the disaster that was last year's opening day behind me. Even with 2 outs in the 9th all I could picture was freaking Koch and damn Carlos Beltran. That was awful...this time, Gload dives, grabs it, flips to Shingo...White Sox winner

Its pathetic of me to say this, but now i finally get Gene Honda Civic Sorry Cheat, I'm just a wee bit slow.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) I assume Ozzie put him in as a defensive replacement. If so, you got to give him his props. Yep, Paulie had 2 nice hits in the game though and of course had the game winner. YAS, if you don't get the Xtra Innings package, you can still watch this weeks games because its on free preview (don't know if you have it or not, but was gonna tell ya just in case). Of course Wednesdays is on WGN and then Thursday back on Comcast.

Wow, what a play by Gloadie to rob Coco of at least a single. Fantastic Win And damn did Buehrle pitch awesome....YEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting, I see at least a few of us think Boston is in for a doozie of a season. Personally I think they will struggle without Lowe and Pedro. They meant a lot to the team, mainly Pedro. Lowe pretty much blew last year for them, but he was good in the playoffs. I think the BoSox are overrated this year.

Good move by the Pats. I guess Brady was campaigning for the Pats to sign him. BB won't take any of Terrel's antics and I kind of think your gonna see DT grow up and play like he's capable of.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 07:38 AM) God bless the WhiteSox..... Lets win this s*** in '05.... I cant fargin wait.

I thought the Seahawks were close to signing Sharper?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 06:05 AM) Eddy vs. Brenda Take 2. Should be a great series if it does happen though. The Bulls are really going to have to be at their best defensively to clamp down on Arenas and Hughes. I'm leary of the matchup simply because Arenas is so insanely good at penetrating (plus he can shoot) and Hughes has been playing like a man posessed this year.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Apr 3, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) OMG, awesome smilies..and Go Bulls

It should be interesting to see if Jenks can figure things out (mentally) and just how back his stuff is. I just remember seeing him in the Angels system and wow was he amazing (stuff wise). Also kind of cool to see Corwin back. Sounds like he really worked hard this time around and hopefully he can stay healthy and get himself back on the path to US Cell. And personally I'm pumped about Young moving on up to Bham, but I think he may just struggle simply because he's still working on hitting the breaking pitch.

End the insults. If you disagree simply say why and don't attack the poster. If the 3 of you can't get along, ignore is a hell of a feature.

lmao, Hi8is.

One thing about Mohr...he's not as versatile as Timo. I'm by all means not on the Timo bandwagon, but considering the options he's the only guy (along with Willie) off the bench that can play CF. Although you could make the case that you could just move Pods since that is his original position. Still Timo can play all 3 outfield positions and if there is some truth to him playing "slow" last year because he was banged up then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt at the start of the year, but he's got to improve upon some things. One thing I like about Timo is his arm. I hate how he catches the ball though and at the plate, well, I don't necessarily buy into the whole clutch argument but if he hits .400 again with RISP maybe you can buy into it. Career wise Jose V was always a pretty good clutch hitter if I recall (and thats coming from his biggest hater).

Get out of class at 11:15 my time then I haul ass home to watch the Sox game.

Happy belated Bday Alex. I guess we know the two coolest admins have April Birthdays Hopefully you got some fresh nug for your bday

QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 10:03 AM) I remember hearing Yofu got signed by some other team. I want to say the Yankees for some reason. He was pitching with the Sox in spring?? I saw him pitch a game against Arizona. Although I have been netless os maybe something happened the past few days. Bulls, mega thanks for this info. Sorry to hear you back in Bham, but hopefully the stay is short and soon enough you'll be in Charlotte. Its cool that your gonna be the opening day starter though. Bulls

Ya, but my understanding was that he would be pitching by midseason in the minors. Who knows though. I hope someone gives him a shot because he was a class act and when healthy had good stuff.

Ya, I'll set something up when I get back from town. We'll probalby set up a NBA Draft board as times get closer. For the time being we'll set up one thread on Monday and merge everything into that related to the draft (in terms of early entries) and pin it on the sports bar.

Also with this new server, some of the features that had not worked or would time out now work. IF anyone notices anything timing out, please tell us because it wouldn't be the result of the server, rather a bug in the coding.

QUOTE(Beastly @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) I still don't see why they didn't keep Burke...he's a lot better than Widger. Davis is a piece of s***, let him go...wish we coulda gotten Kim tho instead of the Rockies. Nah, Kim is due 6 mill or so and can barely throw 87 MPH. Politte is lightyears better then him at this point (a healthy Kim is better, but its been a while since Kim was that). Politte is much better then he pitched in the spring anyway. Plus you can't complain about a guy like him when you think he's the Sox 5th best reliever (Shingo, Vizcaino, Hermy, Marte are all better).

Basically because Widger can handle catchers better. Has nothing to do with the bat, more that Widger is a more experienced catcher. Personally I like Burke behind the plate, but he isn't as experienced as a guy like Widger. We'll see what Widge can do playing every once in a while. One thing this move assures is that Pyrz will be getting a heck of a lot of AB's, imo, so hopefully he hits better during the season then he did in spring. I think he will too...he's gonna be huge for the Sox.

Did anyone claim Danny? I know he's supposed to pitch at some point this year, but dont' recall anyone picking him up after the Sox released him.
