Did you play basketball for the Hoosiers or something?

Ya, its been awesome so far. Surprised they let the Kipster throw that many pitches.

Ya, but from what I've read, Milliceck would be the first pick if it wasn't for James hype. In regards to Pippen he said that he would come for the exception as well as a position with the Bulls when he retires. I also think with 4.5 mill excemption the Bulls will be able to land a quality player.

I don't think so. Everyone says Milllilek is a lock at #2 and that he may be better. I'd love getting Anthony but I really want the Bulls to sign Pippen with the midlevel and then take whoever is there with the draft and just let him develop slowly. I don't think we'll see too much activity other then a signing of a sf/sg that can play defense and then us drafting that same position. Were deep at pg, and down low. We'll probably keep Hoiberg and Brunson on IR as well as Blount or thats my guess. I'd look for a very similar roster.

Its funny, I still think we have a top 10 organization. I'd probably rank us somewhere around 10-12.

Nope, I wouldn't trade Tyson. Plus this draft is three deep. If we stay at 7 I think we pick Wade. It will be James, Millicic or however you pronounce it and then Carmelo at 3.

Major League and the Replacements for best comedies. Wait, put Sandlot way up there too for me, that movie was great.

I've felt that the whole time. The West will beat up on eachother. I believe the Wild Card will either by the Red Sox or the Twins/Sox whoever loses the division. I think we win the division.

Vince is a new moderator of the off topic board and I think he's going to do an awesome job. He's a great guy whose a diehard Sox fan and I think he'll do an awesome job. You Vince and so does everyone else here

Well Myette looked to be throwing a lot harder then the gun reading, so I'm guessing the gun was off a bit. I also think Koch is working on not relying on a straight fastball. He had better movement today and left that one pitch up, but otherwise he was alright. I do agree though, him not throwing near as hard is a cause for concern. Still, I'll hold off my judgment cause I think he's gonna be damn good, but he hasn't shown me it lately. Hopefully he can get in a groove.

Range is something that you can't really improve. You can to a certain extent, but Carlos is doing all he can to make up for it by RUNNING to balls hit into the corner, and by CHARGING basehits and trying to prevent guys from scoring from 2nd on a single. He seems to be very proficient at making sliding/diving catches also. He's made 2 or 3 very nice ones already this year, and has seemed to get them with regularity throughout his career with the Sox. He ended today with a 3-run HR and a great catch...hopefully he will carry that momentum into tomorrow's game. You can definately improve range, but you can't do it by getting faster, you can only do it by getting better jumps and recognizing where the ball is going better. Therefor, Carlos was terrible at that when he first came up and now he is really improving at it. I have given Carlos plenty of credit for improving defensively and players don't seem to want to run on him. He has worked hard and has taken great pride in his improving defense. Also, he looked solid at the plate again today. I am hard on Carlos only because I think he can be so damn good, either way I'm not really in favor of moving him. I'm happy with our entire team and I do believe Rowand can play but I've just been so dissapointed by his swing. He had some good hacks today though. Olivo had an awesome game today. I loved his hustle. His speed/hustlee caused a few things to happen today.

Well if Manuel manages like he has the past week or so I'll be alright. He's been calling more hit and runs and overall he looks like he's doing a real good job managing the bullpen and the staff.

I agree with Baggs.

He's very skinny. Frank was pretty quick in his younger days.

Right now I don't want to trade anyone. I love this ballclub. We are such a deep team and are going to win it all. Also, Konerko looked a lot better today, going opposite field and getting better swings. He is still a few games away I think, but sometime next week you should see him get into a groove.

I have yet to figure out why Shaffer is playing short. I always though Reyes future was at short, but they have been playing him at second and to me thats a mistake. I know some believe Reyes has to improve his defense, but for a minor league shortstop he wasn't all that bad, at least error wise. You can tell me if I'm wrong, but I'd think that Reyes has a heck of a lot more range than Shaffer.

-Leadoff double by Milton Bradley after Josh fell behind. -He goes up 0-2 on the next hitter and throws 4 straight balls so runners on 1st and 2nd. So far he's looking just like he did in Detroit and thats not good cause he was falling behind everyone in Detroit and this kid is gonna get hammered if he's falling behind. I sure hope he starts showing me some stuff to prove me wrong. Also, like I say it takes more then a couple starts to judge a guy, especially since they first have to learn the speed at a new level, etc, plus a lot of times you also have to wait and see what happens after major leaguers make adjustments. -Ellis Burks strikes out on a low changeup. Stewart did a nice job setting Burks up. -Someone rips a deep shot into center but Rowand has room and makes the catch. Runners on the corners with two outs. Come on Josh, get Karim Garcia out. -Karim Garcia flies out to Carlos Lee. Nice job Josh. It showed that you don't panick after getting in a tough situation, me likey.

Oh, don't get her started I give you my vote for greatest avatar ever

Yep, what Josh said, Carlos said throw it at me or something like that.

Sounds about right to me. Cerbaho had the report today and he's gonna have a ton of work for tomorrow recap (On Todays Games) since 7 games are scheduled. Barons offense is looking horrid and I guess its because they don't have many hitting prospects right now. I like Reyes, but his knock was that they didn't think he would hit at higher levels. Hopefully him and Durham can turn it around cause if they can get a good top of the order then they will be alright. Plus if Ruddy keeps tearing the cover off the ball you'll be seeing him real soon and him and Reyes are a real good 1/2 combo at the top of the lineup.

I've long been a big D'Angelo supporter from the days before we made the trade. I liked him in the Yankee system and liked him with the Padres, and then we got him. So far he's doing freaking awesome. I have always thought he's one of those rare guys with the potential to have a .400 OBP at the leadoff slot. He's very agressive on the paths and seems to be a very good baserunner. I hope Jose teaches him more techniques on the path.

Simple, go to the sweet and turn the Sox game on while watching the playoffs

I just ran a check and it may be the bandwith. This month our hits are on pace to double over the previous couple months which had already doubled. That being said I just checked that with our allotted bandwith and we aren't even close so I'm assuming it was something with the server company. Ok, I found out what happened. It was a router issue that limited only certain internet companies access last night. Everything was fixed and should be fine as of now. Sorry about the outage everyone.

Minor League Recaps By Mike Doyle April 19, 2003 SoxNet.net Jon Rauch will have to wait another day to try and go 3-0, as the Knights game was postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as a part of a doubleheader today, with Jon Rauch and Mike Porzio starting for the Knights. The only game not rained out last night for Sox affiliates; the Huntsville Stars shut down the Birmingham Barons en route to a 6-1 loss. Stars starter Pedro Liriano (1-2) baffled the Barons hitters, giving up only three hits and two walks in six innings. Barons' starter Clay Eason (0-2) was equally effective until the 6th inning, where he gave up a home run to shortstop J.J. Hardy, his second of the night off Eason. The Barons only run came in the 8th when Ryan Hankins hit a sacrifice fly to score Chad Durham. Other than the sacrifice fly, the Barons' offense was seemingly asleep. The Barons could only manage five hits all night, and stranded seven men on base. Corwin Malone (1-0) will take the mound tonight for the Barons, opposing Ben Diggins for the Stars. The Warthogs game against the Frederick Keys was postponed due to rain. Hogs fans will be in for a treat tonight, as the postponed game will be made up today as a doubleheader. Top prospects Kris Honel and Ryan Wing, both 2-0, will be pitching for the Hogs. Kannapolis was also rained out, as the Intimidators will make the game up as part of a doubleheader today. Paulino Reynoso and Brian Miller will counter Nick Bourgeois and Matt Sweeney in the doubleheader.

I'm ready too. Gonna be doing homework at first while watching the game which kind of sucks.
