Imagine Ventura and Larkin on the left side of the diamond..

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) You do know the Cell is considered a "small ass" field when it's warm out? Yes, thats why I was surprised of the question. Hell, I think 2 of our starters pitched better on the road so I was very surprised that a question like this was posted. Not saying its dumb or anything but.... Or.. maybe I was reading it wrong.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) This is an honest question for my fellow Sox fans....even with our stellar pitching rotation, do you think the Sox team is better suited for a smaller, homer hitting park? In my opinion, we're a better team when we're mashing homers and our pitchers are keeping the other team in the park. I would say 3/5 of our starters in the rotation are fly ball pitchers. They would get murdered if we had a small ass field just a regular fly ball or a hitter who was just a tad underneath a pitch could probably go out. Wouldn't matter what our hitters would do unless you want a 15-13, 12-10 score every game like in Colorado most of the time. Just my two cents.

Widger to me looks like he just wants to hit a homer with his big swing every time up. Cut down your swing Widge!!!

Well looking at Knight's sig, I think Rowand, Greasy, DBAH0 and I were the only ones to pick the Twins finishing ahead of them. Great minds think alike.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) BA with some good plate discipline tonight drawing 2 walks. Went hitless, but if he can keep drawing BB's, and get on base, I'll be very happy nonetheless. Ditto. Getting that OBP up for me. Mabye he can get his BB/SO ratio back to respectable.

What a statement. Good win, let's take the rubber match Mr. Mark "Ace" Buehrle.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) Brooks beats Lincoln Park 11-10 scoring 7 runs in the bottom of the 7th. Helluva game, and I was glad to be a part of it. Thats our 2nd win in the last bat. Our first came against Thornridge the Friday before Spring Break. Eigher these teams now are alittle weaker this year, or you guys had an off game, cuz Lincoln Park is one of the easiest teams to beat unless they've gotten better from their Soph (now Juniors) making the jump.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 11:59 AM) seriously, the ACT and SAT are easy. You will have no problem, its all about confidence and making quick decisions. Something I never had.. Hell I did below average on them, but it didn't really make a difference for me. It really depends if you want your sights set on a particular college, if not, any college can except you if you at least have good grades. You can't have bad grades, and have a bad score on the ACT. Then you can basically label yourself a "bum", "hustler" or my personal favorite "mcdonalds worker."

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 04:02 PM) Brian Anderson loves Safeco Field. It's funny you say that, cuz Seattle fans already are starting to hate BA now in his short career. He PWNS the Mariners. He's quickly becoming the Thome/Sweeney killer against them. (Mariner Killer) It's also good cause this series can probably give Brian some momentum in this road trip hopefully. I think he can have a nice game tonight! Go Sox!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) The loss is on our best reliever(up to this point) as well. This game is killing me right now cause I hate losses like this but unfortunately that is baseball and s*** like this happens. Doesn't hurt as much knowing we were World Champs last year eigher. Any other time like chisonfan79 said, I would have screamed my ass off, cursing up a storm.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 12:23 AM) ozzie loves the righty/righty stuff though, so it's not like it was some unkown reason. Every manager likes the righty, righty match-up. It's common in baseball. BMac made a good pitch (personally I would had just challenged him with the heat after 2 change-ups) and Court knew what to do with it.

Another 1 run loss this season, something that hardly ever happened last season. Hell, I thought we could had stole this one. The Mariners are horrible in one run games.

Tough loss today man. BA kept it goin, but we just couldn't get it done. Let's take 2-3 then which we could use since we have not played well in West Coast games.

Alot of athletes have made a mistake in their lives on something that could had changed their careers in some way even though noone could really blame them cause eigher it was for $, striving to be the best, or had a bigger ego/cockier (Tyson Chandler not going to college, Palmeiro taking steriods maybe costing himself the HOF, Drew Henson playing baseball instead of football etc.. etc..) Borchard will probably be included in this list when it's all said and done.

No doubt, I'm probably the best looking (sexy/handsome/whatever else) person on this site as far as the male posters.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 11:44 PM) I'm not counting his swinging bunt as a hit. I mean its a hit Sorry I couldn't resist. But I know in general what you mean, but Dye had alot of infield hits last year when he started off really slow for us and had alot of Dye hating threads. I think he and BA will a hit like that over a solid line drive right at someone anyday of the week to help them. But all in all, I agree with ya.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) Anderson had a solid game, but he had 1 hit. Jas, he had 2 hits.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) They drank before... during... and after games... yet could still produce. That just reminds me... (and he was a serious womanizer..) I LOVE Babe Ruth. (not the chocolate bar the person )

Man I tell ya what looking at the M's rotation they have REALLY improved from last year. If Pineiro has a good season, (starting off good right now) then they can be really a torn on the side in the AL West this year. Moyer-Pineiro-Hernandez-Washburn-Meche is really solid. Too bad their offense isn't that good especially Ichiro (of all people) hitting well below his usual self. (even though he has heated up now the last 5 games.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) It's still going to be hard to get African Americans to play baseball imo. I also agree that it's silly to worry about. Maybe I should have continued playing. Probably would have gotten drafted and represented fo my brothas! But then again... I would have been like Jeter, Tiger Woods, etc.. just a mixed breed.. (not 100% nothin)

Sox try their luck out West

Only downside was Thome had an "off" day. Other than that, nice game all around. I'm glad BA is looking more comfortable at the plate. COUNT!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^ same.
