QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ May 8, 2005 -> 05:00 PM) He's made three starts, and has only given up 7 earned runs in 20.3 innings, and basically has a strikeout an inning at 19. Since he's come off the DL he's been solid. I like the Angles top three of Colon, Washburn, and Escobar. I don't think it's overrated, i haven't really heard as much hype from their rotation, as ours. I think they will fall to earth a little.....as will ours, but not enough to not get the job done like they have been doing. Washburn isn't that good at all. The past two seasons, he's been a little worse than Jon Garland. Unless he rediscovers his 2000-2002 years, he's an average pitcher.

Get well, Zaun. I'm definitely not very excited about the win. That play at the end just brought the whole game down. Let's hope it's nothing serious...

WHITE SOX WINNER!!!! And Ditto Jabroni's comments. You can't blame it on Marte coming in, that's absolutely stupid...

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) Win this one for Zaun. You know it's going to happen. Unfortunately, I'm getting the same feelings...

Get well soon, Zaun!

I like the move. I'll say it now.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) Where'd it get him? Looked in the area of the 'funny-bone'. Elbow area... Yay, Pedro.

Bunt, Pedro. You can't hit.

Frasor has a nice arm. Good movement on his fastball, good stuff. EDIT: And AJ should just tip his cap there. He painted that inside corner, real nice pitch.

Two on, nobody out. Come on, Carl, you got a job to do. We need a FB to right field, preferably really deep.

Vizcaino has some nice stuff, but he isn't that good. Politte has emerged as the seventh-eighth *inning* guy over Luis, IMO. Come on, Scotty. How about a SB?

QUOTE(Reddy @ May 8, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) i dont agree that all those were earned... Yeah, really... I'd think 2 ER, 2 U-ER.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) Keith, do you know if Kenny plans on making him a member of the Sox pen in the future? Granted, I wouldn't touch our pen right now, but does he have a future with the Sox or should he be moved for something the Sox could use? I dunno, really. I personally don't like Vizcaino as much as the rest of the board does, and if Baj keeps dominating Charlotte, the Sox owe it to themselves and to Baj to see if he can really pitch or not. There could potentially be two-three open spots in our bullpen next year. I believe Shingo and Cliff are FAs after the season (though I could be wrong on Cliff). Baj is sort of like Diaz at this point -- both have shown just about everything they can at AAA, yet there's no spot for either of them with the big club. I'd assume (like you said) that Baj might be trading bait, and I think the same holds true with Felix.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 8, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) Has Pedro Lopez ever played 2nd base before? He was more responsible for that Uribe throwing error than anyone else. 50/50. Bad feed, but I still think Uribe could have made a play. Or, he should have just ate the ball if there wasn't a play. And Addy, the reason I like Baj is because he's striking out almost 11 guys per nine. He's a little older, but he's doing something right down there to be striking out over a hitter per inning. But you've seen him live, I haven't -- so that makes a huge difference.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 8, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) Well no s***, but if you love his stuff so much what does he throw? Good curve, and consistently hits 97-98 on the gun.

I forgot about Reynoso and Jenks -- those two are doing some good things at Birmingham, by the looks of it. We're actually pretty decent if a one or two of our relievers go down. Diaz, Baj, Fields, Munoz, Reynoso, Jenks -- I know the latter two are still a year away, but we're leaps and bounds ahead of where the system was a year or two ago.

Willie Harris on the Aflac question. I believe Miguel Olivo did it, too. Didn't another Sox guy do it, too? EDIT: And, by do it, I mean hit a homer in your first major league AB.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2005 -> 06:05 PM) For the most part, I agree with him. There is some certain talent down there. What do you think Jim, from what you've seen in person, which of the Sox big-name minor leaguers will contribute consistantly to a big-league club? From the looks of it, McCarthy, Anderson, Fields, and Sweeny (to a lesser degree) really seem primed for ML careers. I know you didn't ask me, but two guys to keep your eye on -- Josh Fields the 2nd, and Jeff Baj. I'd say they rank one and two as far as our relief core down there.

Damn. The girl singing the anthem is kind of cute...

Just saw this on the Hardball Times notes section. Link I still hold out hope that Felix is going to become an average-to-decent pitcher. I don't see why he came up to the majors and started walking four-five guys a game, when in the minors he's been walking less than three. Plus, he was keeping the ball down at Charlotte, no doubt he can do it at the Cell. Big year for Felix. I know he's not gonna have a great shot to crack the rotation, but hopefully he'll pitch well enough to get a shot at the bullpen along with Baj.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ May 7, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) Do it in iTunes, it'll sync up the next time you hook up the iPod. If you're connected to the internet when you burn the cd, it'll fetch the tracklisting from...forgot the company name, but there's some company that provides this. Anyway, it's automatic, costs nothing, and very, very convenient. Ok -- so I got out my CD's, and imported them onto iTunes. How do I get those songs which are in my Library on iTunes to the iPod? You guys said it would do it automatically, but I've plugged it in and unplugged it several times, yet it doesn't seem to be transferring... EDIT: Nevermind, I think I got things figured out. ----->me

Lol, I did. I installed the disk I got, too. Alright, I got the songs on there, problem is, they're named "Track 1", "Track 2" -- can I rename 'em on the iPod, or can I do that in iTunes somehow?

Alright. I got my iPod today. Now, how do I get songs on it? I've converted the songs that I want on there to iTunes, now I don't know what to do. I tried hitting Import, and that didn't seem to work. Any help?

Kevin Walker says hi.

ROWAND!
