QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:37 AM) They don't seem like a school that would be a baseball type. Suprising to me, a suburbanite though. Considering we have so many damn races in that school, plus every particular person liking other stuff, and being it's a public school.. I wouldn't say surprising. But I know where your comming from on this. Other than this year, we have had a damn solid baseball team, and damn outstanding bastketball team, and an average football team (just listing the 3 main sports not counting our very solid soccer team etc..)

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 11:25 PM) By the way, for Reading, Haigwood has 13 walks in 14 innings. 1-1, 3.07. WHIP of nearly 2. Gio on the other hand.... as good as he was here. I didn't mind losing Haigwood, but I really liked Gio as a spect here. Ah well. We can re-tool alittle on the draft comming up this year.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 04:10 PM) Nice avatar You know its ironic, but I was seriously thinking of putting that on my avatar.. But I'll choose Bone over anything/one.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) So much for my sleeper pick 2 years back ey SoxAce? I saw this and automatically thought "Andrew will be crushed"

Ya, I was gonna let someone else start this thread cause I didn't feel like I was the right man to do it. Happy 23rd Jas! (ya ol' timer)

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 01:30 AM) That team is horrible. They lost to f***ign Westinghouse. WESTINGHOUSE! The guy who came in for the starting pitcher was pretty good. He had some good stuff and kept our batters of balance. I think we still scored lik 5 off him in 2 innings...and we only played 5. No wonder when I asked about thier team half of my friends never showed up.. Looks like Washington won't even sniff the playoffs this year. These bums are gonna break our streak we had for the most consecutive playoffs we've been in.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 10:40 PM) Brooks beat Washington today 17-1. I went 1-4 with 2 RBI. Yea when I heard that I was like... DAMN!! I guess their pitching wasn't the same as last year. Dafnis (one of the studs on our team) shut you guys out twice last year I think in one of them he had a no-hitter till like the 6th but I believe he got like 15K's and 2BB with only 3-5 hits from your school. If only he took baseball more seriously (could hit/pitch) wasn't so lazy, and wasn't a cub fan (had to put that in there) I think he probably would have had the best potential to succeed in college get drafted pretty high, and probably make it (or sniffed) the bigs. Good talent wasted but I still know two guys who can do the things I just listed..

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 11:40 PM) Jon Garland. ^^^^^^^ Great example.

I swear it seems like he is one of those guys who ya think was around forever, and yet is still really young. Kinda like Guzman when he was with the Twins.

QUOTE(Sam @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 10:39 PM) Where do you/did you go? I went to Bishop Noll first till I was a soph., then went to Washington H.S. That's where we played Carmel and other good teams.

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) I'm pretty psyched (even more than usual) about the draft this year since I have a friend who will probably be drafted, even though no matter what, he's going to college. That's crazy cuz I mentioned a post here a while ago a couple of buddies of mine are also probably gonna get drafted this year. Same thing though, I believe one is in college right now and the other is undecided yet. One is a pitcher and one is a hitter. Right now, I'm still trying to contact them since I'm not in college yet. Im gonna see if I can find a friends (the college one) stats on his school's website.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 08:15 PM) Well I said last night that inconclusive meant at least 2 months, so 8 to 12 weeks means at least 3 months. So now the Cubs lineup relies on the pretty fragile himself Aramis Ramirez, and a pitching staff full of China Dolls. Good luck! When I came home from work today, turned on the T.V., and heard about this, I immediately shut on my computer, went to soxtalk, and now giving you your props. You really called that from yesterday. It was a strange coincidence cuz you said if the cubs won, Lee's injured. Well... what do ya know... Nice call.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 05:31 PM) MVP= Steve Nash (the Suns were top 3 in the western conference all season without that Amare guy. Nash is clearly the main reason). Now I wouldn't say the "main" reason. I'm still pondering over him or Kobe Bryant. Yes I keep hearing about not having Amare. That's a real good excuse, but he did have Marion who is a really, really good player. Who the hell did Kobe have? He single handedly took his team to the playoffs. The only player who is a "cute" player is Lamar Odom and he's only stepped up his game this past week. I'm not saying Kobe is my pick, but I wouldn't say Nash is the clear favorite right now either even though Nash is very, very deserving. I just think I can really see The Lakers giving a good series in the playoffs, maybe even pulling the upset since they are the # 7th seed now I'd also like Billups to win it too, but I think they are gonna overlook him. It's a shame too.

I just had to get this out... This is the first time that we've been in first place permanitally!! (no ties or anything) We are now 1 game ahead of the Tribe and I hope the sox never look back again this season.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 12:12 AM) You can thank Jim Thome for that. I have never seen a team who were now as patient in at-bats as the sox are cause of one player they've brought in. It is still early in the season, but it's nice to see these guys get good at-bats and be patient at the plate this season. Thome- 18/6 BB:K ratio (simply outstanding) Dye- 10/8 Konerko- 7/6 Uribe- 4/5 Iguchi- 6/11 AJ- 2/6 Pods- 3/5 Crede- 3/2 (to me he has made more contact and has a better eye so far this year, than I've ever seen him have.) BA- 4/17 (He's K'd an awful lot of course but he has gotten as many walks (more) as some of the players listed.) Hell I'll even say the bench players.. Mack- 3/8 Widger- 3/1 Cintron- 1/4 Gload 1/0 Pablo 0/2 (the only player who hasn't reached a base on BB.) It's just really nice to see regardless if it's only April 20th.

So if we win tomorrow, are we still the 7th seed or do we move up to 6th? Cause we were 2-2 against Indiana in the season. I'd rather play NJ than Mia.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 11:16 PM) Or Felix Hernandez. Wouldn't say that now Tony. Even though he only has like 3 career at-bats against Felix BA PWNS him.

Thought I'd get this thread going.. Cleveland leads 2-0 that the top of the 4th inning. Jason Micheals had a 2 run single. Baltimore has left alot of runners (namely Roberts) on base already.

QUOTE(Sam @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 11:26 AM) We (Mount Carmel) play against Divine Child, the Michigan state champion, tonight at 7 PM at UIC. No offense but I hate you guys and the school (hell I almost went there) You guys beat our baseball team (Carmel has an outstanding team) solid b-ball team, and football. You guys all around suck.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) thats dissapointing It really, really is. I'm not saying he did it (which I doubt he did) but just to have your name speculated isn't good at all. Just at the wrong place at the wrong time (SF clubhouse) type thing.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 06:42 PM) OBVIOUSLY World Series odds are stupid 2 weeks into the season. That's not to say the Mets don't have a damn solid shot to make it to the NLCS and beyond. I'm basically saying "Beat the Braves." God I have how writers are fooled with how many big name players are on a team. The Braves have done it for 15+ years now, and noone is showing them respect? That's what I find odd. They play more like a team and we all know from the Twins the last few seasons it doesn't matter how much talent you have on the field on paper. Baseball is a team game. BTW, WH1, don't get testy with me young man.. I'm your friend dammit!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 06:36 PM) The Mets are legit Yea.. legitally overrated. 5-1 odds? C'mon. They have to beat the Braves to prove me wrong.

Thome, Thome, Thome. I'm glad someone finally gave Konerko his props.

Why I have an odd feeling The Widge will have a good day today?
