3-0 Sox (Bottom of 2nd) D'Angelo rips a homer. For everyone else, stop on by the chatroom a good number of us are in there http://whitesox.theinsiders.com/3/chat.html

One thing I think about Crede is that he's going to have to slowly work on drawing more walks. He'll knock in runs, but before he turns into an upper echelon middle of the order guy, he'll need to draw more walks. He isn't a big strikeout guy nor is he a big walk guy. Also, great at bat for Carlos. He had one nice swing and it looked like he wasn't flying open as much. PK and Carlos will have 2 hits a piece today at least.

Well, I did just build one. You guys can tell me what you think. I haven't edited the colors or anything but heres the link http://whitesox.theinsiders.com/3/chat.html

Sweeet 2-0 Sox Jose Valentin hits his 4th homer of the season. Frankie is due up.

Jimenez starts it off with a double into the gap.

I think a lot of people dislike Paul more then he should be. Paul does an adequate job off the bench. The problem is defensively he's very weak behind the plate. He calls a solid game, but isn't adepth at blocking or throwing guys out and he doesn't make up for that deficiency at the plate. My big reason I knock him is because I don't like the idea of having three catchers. I like Olivo a lot and think he brings so much more to the table. I have nothing against Josh though and he seems to do solid when he plays.

Yep, been a Laker fan my whole life (I'm not a loser bandwagon fan). Also, there are 4 teams in the West that are so superior to any team in the East that I don't think we'll have to worry about "da bulls" for quite a while. Everyone knows the Western Conference Finals are the REAL NBA Finals. Bulls already won the finals when they kicked the crap out of the Lakers earlier this year I firmly believe the Bulls are going to create so many mismatch problems on all the teams they play. Realistically, they won't win it all next year, but I expect playoffs, especially if they land Scottie Pippen. They can put up points and Pippen will give them a good defensive edge. Defense is the one thing that will keep them back for a little bit. The Lakers are coming on, but I have to believe the Kings will win it all.

Interesting, I'll throw that on just to see what the stadium looks like. Well during the commercial of the Sox games.

Ya, I noticed that reading something like a few days before the season. I always thought he just fell off his bike, I never realized he fell like 25 feet.

Yes...3-time defending WORLD Champs -- golly they stink. See you in the playoffs. Ah Damn Cluj, you have to be a Laker Fan Well, like I tell my dad, this is your last year, Bulls will be back

Aren't they in Montreal first? Then they go to San Juan a little later?

As a resident member of the Soxnet.net Minor League Staff.......... I know a litte bit on good ol ruddy.... He can field excellentely, and run like no-other.......... but scouts believe that his hitting is too weak to last in the majors...... So he might be Royce with speed. However, I think alot of it has to do with him still developing as a man...... he's definitely gotta hit the gym though...... Well, Yan is one of my favorite, "not so well known guys" in the Sox minor league organizations. I really do like this guy to Luis Castillo. He's very good at making contact and spraying the ball, but he has to keep working, get a little strong and continue to hit liners and grounders. If all goes well he could turn into a solid .270-.280 hitter and he has a solid eye, although he'll have to improve that as well. If this guy can put up a .350 obp he'll be an excellent second baseman and leadoff hitter or nine hole hitter. I think Yan will do it. He could turn into a real good hitter, he could never develop enough. Got to wait and see how he does at higher levels. This guy is faster then Wee Willie though or at least from what I've read thats what they say.

We like to make it easy on our viewers/readers. They don't have to go searching all over the place for recaps or anything. Plus, most teams webpages don't have the recaps or anything like that on their team. We like to think that our recaps have more info then you can get on the main teams pages as well.

Minor League Recap By Jason Gage April 11, 2003 SoxNet.net

i would go with a sony, or if you cant afford one of those a dell or gateway would work, if you need help with what parts you want in it give me a hollar on aim, ill get you the best comp within your price range. P.S. i really like the new faces :finger Cool. I'm gonna go into the gateway store tomorrow and then into Compusa. Got to ask some questions there so I can make sense of everything. Once I do that, I'll ask ya some questions as well

God, why do i see this thread quickly changing topics.

I'm looking to get a laptop and am wondering what kind would be good? I know more about desktop computers then notebooks so for those out their that are laptop/computer savy what do you recommend? I notice Gateway had some good prices on laptops, but I didn't really think they are known for them. Oh ya, I know the Mac things are good, but I want to stay PC Thanks for the help

Ya, I heard about it last night.

As long as the Sox are only playing him a max of 3 of every 5 games then I'm happy. If we play Sandy any more then his knees will be toast and he will be on and off the dl all season. When that happens you can't get into a groove offensively and he's wasted space. That being said I'm all for this as long as Manuel does this the right way and I have confidence that he will. Olivo will get plenty of time and this is going to be a great learning experience for him to the point that next year he will be well versed and ready to handle the job, full time.

Too bad the CIA has no credible evidence that Syria is helping them (i.e. selling nightvision goggles) http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wo...0,4315121.story "There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocents." - Howard Zinn Oh wait, Syria never attacked us either! Yeah, let's invade them for no reason and use lies!! It makes so much sense since it worked in Iraq! Who watched Syria's ambassador on Fox News tonight? It was a pretty good debate between her and Gretta or however you spell it. I learned a lot listening to it.

Clujer, great post. I have that same feeling every time the Sox lose, but right now I know that they are going to win a whole lot more then they lose. My logic to it is simple, the Sox have a very good ball club, one that is better then almost all in baseball and as long as we make the playoffs and are amongst the best in baseball then we have a shot. I believe this team is built to suceed over the long haul. They have very few weaknesses. One is the question with the staff now that Wright is hurt and the other is the question of having such a righty dominated lineup. Otherwise, we have two ace pitchers, two potential aces that are pretty proven middle of the rotation guys (Wright/Garland) and then two guys that I think can provide innings and keep us in games (Stewart/Loaiza). We got an amazing bullpen with two great setup men (Tom and Marte) a great closer and then some damn good middle guys and a very good lefty specialist. We also have plenty of depth in the minors. We have a deep bench with 4 guys that can produce off the bench (Olivo - defensively), Graffy, Daubach, and Rios - offensively) and then we have as almost all know an above average offense. Ya a few guys have struggled, but offenses tend to struggle early in the season and Flash is a guy that is better when its warmer. Not using it as an excuse though, while White is getting things straightened out. This is a very good team and they will finish as a playoff team and in my mind they will win the series.

Remember, he strikes out a lot

Thats ridiculous if they are doing what you guys are saying. I'd think they would be getting investigated and potentially fined for holding them back and selling them at a higher price. I know they have premium prices now, but come on.

Whats Webster?

Sleepover must be a cool event. Problem is, if I was on the field, I'd be wanting to play baseball so I'd be drilling everyone in the field. Didn't last years get rained on?
