Weekender Vs Minnesota
Plus the cubs are in San Diego so the Sox aren't sharing the city this weekend. Hate having to say this, but its true.

Islamic Web Site Shows Beheading Of American
It doesn't matter. We are better then that and we have to prove that, imo. What we did to their prisoners is wrong, no matter what those aholes did to Berg. Us going to their level makes us no better. I am glad the US has stuck into this and I think its a good thing. THe problem is their are some groups that think this way in Iraq but I still believe they are the minority. I think the majoritie's voice isn't heard and that its these rebels that are causing this. The key is to root that out, but to do so in as humane way as possible. Speaking of which, anyone hear the girl who is now trying to pass the blame to her supervisors in regards to the prison stuff. I'm sorry, but just hearing her talk makes me think she is speaking utter bulls***. It seems like she's freaking making up a story in her head. Either way, this is absolutely sick what those assholes did.

My 15 minutes of Fame
Wow, after reading this all I can say is wow. Cheat, I hope your alright. What happened to you was pure bulls***. I didn't catch the game on TV, but I can't believe the stadium security was that half assed. I also can't believe how wussy those 5 guys were for jumping you. 5 freaking guys on 1 and you didn't even do crap other then ask them to be quiet. I realize this happens in other stadiums, but that doesn't make it right. This is pure bs and I hope the White Sox listen to your letter cause its these type of things that have to stop. Your a freaking diehard Sox fan who goes to games and supports the Sox, I can't freaking believe it. What garbage those fans were and I'd say that usher is even as big of garbage for not doing anything about it. Glad Hangar at least got security over, but WOW is all I can still say. I'm speechless after reading this story. Just glad to see your ok.

Rocky Biddle
Damn u cheat for stealing him from me. I only put him on waivers hoping to grab him a few weeks later.

Kerry Wood left the Cub-LA game after 3 innings:
I like wood a lot. A few people at the game tonight said they heard on the radio that it was stiffness in his tricep, but who knows. All I know is I wanted to see Wood pitch, not Glendon freaking Rush.

Flubbs smoked by LA
I was at tonights game and boy was that a whooping. Of course I started a small steroid chant during Shamme's first AB. Other then Sammy and Alou, I don't have anything against the Cubs. Wondering what happened with Wood. Weaver pitched tremendous tonight.

Danny Wright apparently shelled
The way the Sox are treating Buehrle is nothing new. Plenty of organizations have had the belief, more in the past, that the bullpen is a great way to develop starting pitchers. You can ease them in and get them comfortable and then eventually move them to the rotation. I think the Braves have done that with some of their younger pitchers and it had worked well and if I recall the Astros were very big on that a while back. I like the way the Sox are working with Cotts. He's getting put in pressure situations and on the most part has been pitching consistent. He'll get stretched out eventually, and right now he's doing a tremendous job for the Sox. He's got a very bright future.

Danny Wright apparently shelled
I have full support for DW. Everything I've heard says he has an amazing work ethic and a great attitude when he gets sent to Charlotte. I think he knows he has to improve and if he's hurt I hope he can get healthy. Wright just doesn't look like he did pre injury. But I'm with Rex, you don't designate an arm like that, you keep and stick with that down in the minors and if he gets things solved he gets things solved. If he doesn't, your giving a good guy a shot.

Well prior to that he's also had trouble getting out of the 5th. Then again the Knights haven't been letting much any of their pitchers go deep.

Sox post game show
I love Robin, but his days are done. Keep Gloadie, plus the Sox have Jose, Juan and Crede all capable of playing 3rd and if Burkes here you can count him in that list as well.

DIAZ GETS THE CALL!
I still don't see the point in having Burke up. He hasn't produced down in Charlotte and I'm not a fan of seeing guys called up when they haven't put up good numbers. I realize he adds versatility. I could see Adkins on the way down though because he's been used so rarely as of late. Still with Diaz up you may want another guy in the pen to go in case Diaz struggles. I'll be pulling for Diaz big time. I've been a fan of his for a while.

I am going to too. Gonna be in my lab during the game

5/11 games
Cubsuck, you can listen to the games from charlotteknights.com and just hit the streaming audio link during the game. I've been listening to a few of them lately. Hey Rex, is their a way to listen to Barons games? I'm guessing a few of the other affiliates in the Southern League have their games on the net?

He's just being sarcastic or at least I think he is. Get him up to AAA cause he's not the type of prospect that will be promoted straight from AA to Chicago, imo. You see that with a really hyped prospect that was a top pick or really young, but rarely do you see it with older prospects. I think he's definately got major league potential though.

Danny Wright apparently shelled
Agreed, its going to be tough finding a roster spot for him, but I think the sox will be making a trade or two pretty soon and I'd have to think Rauch or someone in the AAA group will be out. Plus Diaz will be coming up, but Burke will be coming down. I'm hoping Baj is up soon, he's been pitching so damn good.

UK answer to teen pregnancy . . .
Its a pretty common thing now adays amongst girls in high school and college. Although it seems like less girls are having sex at younger ages here. At least thats how it was when I was in high school. Heck, even in college it seems like a lot more girls are waiting then ever before.

Their were also two bench clearing brawls in the game. A good description was posted over on the FutureSox board

Wow, sounds like an interesting game. Wish somehow their could be streaming video of the minor league games. That would be so awesome

At least we got Majewski out of JB. Of cousre I guess the Berry thing is what we remember- Daily Herald is saying Loaiza has lost velocity
Or at least move Wright to the pen. He was clobbered in his first start with the Knights. I am a big Wright fan and everything I've ever heard about him say he's a great guy who works hard so I hope he can put it together, but he seems destine for the bullpen. Its too bad, he has solid stuff, just such an erractic delivery.- Daily Herald is saying Loaiza has lost velocity
Right now I think its got to be Diaz. Munoz has only made a handful of starts in his career and I don't think it would be wise rushing him up. While I think Munoz could potentially handle it and he has a bright future, Diaz is a much safer guy to have up and has the stuff to suceed in the majors. He's also shown very good control and seems to really be learning to pitch. I like Munoz later in the year if he keeps pitching the way he does. I wouldnt' mind seeing the Sox bring him up like they did Buehrle and are now doing with Cotts. - James Baldwin
