2-3-2
I'd hit Jimenez and then Olivo. Thats my future top of the lineup. Dump Frank, Dump Carlos, and Dump Konerko. Get rid of those guys and find quality players in return. Guys like Higginson, Kotsay, Trot Nixon, Klesko, etc.

16 runs in 3 innings
Stats aren't counted. What I always want to know is why don't they just suspend a game and replay it at a later date. Its something I've never figured out and I figure it would be the best way to do it. You shouldn't punish a team thats playing good just because it is raining.

2-3-2
Well an off day is when you'd want to make the changes. If the Sox don't make changes, I'll be dissapointed. You can't sit and wait in a situation like this. The all star game is coming and the Sox need a winner. I don't want to have to watch a fire sale although right now if it comes to July and the team is playing like crap, I'd sell almost everyone but Buehrle, Maggs and potentially Colon. And I'd be tempted to sell those guys if we could get proven major league talent and top prospects in return. Screw this hit homers crap, I want a team that can play fundemental baseball. I wish the Sox were the Twins. Now the Twins, they are FUN to watch.

Blast from the Past!
First off welcome aboard. Secondly I'll be the only one not happy to see Lowe get a win. I like Lowe and all but I don't want KC or the Twins winning right now. Lowe was fine with us, but he has stunk everywhere else he's went. He is a good guy though and I really do wish him the best. I hope someone else blows them in KC, but if he's facing us, I hope we shell him.

New bandwagon forming
Well I still say give Willie one more full week. After sunday make the judgement and if that isn't working right, name Rios the fulltime starter.
-
Rick White
Well his stats were damn impressive other then his time in Colorado but I have no problem with seeing Almonte pitch.

Was it Harris that made the error? I zoned out and just heard that an error was made.

White Sox vs Mariners (Sunday May 11th)
1-1 now. Graffy ripped an RBI double that scored Alomar. Alomar was on 2nd because of a great bunt by Wee Willie.

White Sox vs Mariners (Sunday May 11th)
Few, D'angelo is playing. Man, Cirillo makes two nice plays over their at third and the Sox have two quick outs. On a sidenote, Jimenez has looked much quicker lately. I heard on the Oakland game that Jimenez had a bum knee but now he's healthy. This was what the A's announcers said, not the Sox, but that was the only time I ever heard of it. It could be why he looked so slow at the start of the season. Big Hurt is up now. Hurt usually kills Moyer.

White Sox vs Mariners (Sunday May 11th)
Ahhh crap, I have a bad feeling that Jose is getting the start instead of Jimenez. We all know Jimenez is one of my favorite offensive second baseman as well as one of the best leadoff hitters this season. I hope Jimenez is in the two hole.

Player Development
His last 7 starts he was brilliant. It was also his first full season.

16 runs in 3 innings
I did my fair share of Cub bashings, but look at it this way. Our lineup was supposed to be awesome, yet its them that is I think 3rd in the NL in runs scored. I'll give them some credit. Don't think their offense will keep it up, but I'll say this, they have all played their butts off and have got themselves into first or wherever they are while the Sox are dragging around. Of course we have more talent and have played like crap but still, they are overachieving while were underachieving. I'd rather overachieve then underachieve and I hope the Sox will start playing.

Durham placed on DL
Ya, that was bad. I hope Marrero is alright. He's done a heck of a job recovering from cancer. (That was Marrero right?)
-
Torborg fired
The biggest plus in Backman is that he isn't a retread. I also ask how often to retread managers end up doing something really good. They typically keep going around and then end up settling as a bench coach somewhere or retiring.

Durham placed on DL
I just heard that while watching the Cubs game. They mentioned it when the Cardinals outfielder went down with a bad ankle injury. They are bringing out the stretcher right now. I think its Placido Polanco and I hope he's alright.

Williams' sons arrested
I guess I'm gonna change things up and quickly say Happy Mothers Day. I know without the help of my mom I wouldn't be the person I was today and for that I thank her. And with all this talk of bad parents, I still say that most parents are good parents. No parent can be perfect everytime and their are times where its out of a parents control. I got a lot of respect for my mom, I sure as hell don't know how she put up with all the crap I gave her as a kid growing up.

NBA Playoffs
I still think the Nets are looking awful good over their in the East.

Smelling the Roses
I swear Jerry must read this board at times. Like two days ago I was mentioning that I felt Alomar should catch some of the other pitchers on ocassion and let Olivo get a game or two with the aces and then he ends up doing it.

Minor League Announcement
The other thing I thought of (Not sure if its possible) but was for a post that is on minors to move it to the minor league board after it leaves the first board or something so then we could continue talking about it there without it dissapearing. I see benefits to both ways, but the key is what makes everyone happiest.

141 pitches for Wood
I noticed that and was like what the heck. Wood is a big strong kid, but no pitcher should be throwing 141 pitches, imo.
-
Williams' sons arrested
Stealing a Car radio is a big difference then teapeaing someones house or whatever mischievious things most kids do when they are younger. That being said they didn't murder anything and they can still be straightened out and I hope they are.

Albert Belle
He deserved to be in if it he played a full career. Since he didn't they looked at other things, such as the fact that he was a goodwill ambassador to baseball and that in my opinion is why he eventually got in. I heard an interview with Pucketts wife and she said that he was a fraud the whole time. It surprised the heck out of me, and this wasn't a women that had a grudge against him.
-
Torborg fired
I also say I want him as long as its the pitching coach, Cooper, making the majority calls when it comes to pitchers.

JOE COWLEY RIPS kw TO SHREDS!!!..PLAYERS TOO
and Brian Jordan is worth the 9 mill he makes. Todd Hundley the 6 mill he makes, etc. Dodgers have plenty of over-achievers. If the Sox could invest 50 mill in the rotation like the Dodgers (I think they have over 50 mill invested there) then we'd have a stinking awesome rotation too. I also stick to my theory, this is a very very good TEAM (The White Sox) and I do believe the Sox and Dodgers will meet in the series.
