Ben Smith was outstanding. I was shocked when the Hawks initially sent him down earlier in the season. I thought he was a keeper. Solid two way player.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) lol, I thought you were on a 17 minutes delay or something Ya my T.V. was off after the 8th cause I thought we had this one in the bag. Then I came on here and saw we gave up 5 runs so I had to watch it online which is a few minutes of straight gay delay.

Every team in Chicago has won tongiht. Lets go boys keep this trend going! EDIT: Nevermind. Figures.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) Man let it go, he's been awful in the role so far.. Sale should have been the closer, there was no reason to mess with a good thing.. I was calling for Sale too, but I can't even get mad about this one on Matt. He has looked like crap so far though I'll agree with, but it's still early on the season. I don't even think he's hit 96+ once yet either that I can recall.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:16 PM) 4 Well so far they got 5 runs only 2 earned on Thornton barring a change.

fathom's boy comming in to pitch.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) That was a bomb. Oh well. We blew this one (unless somehow we win). Five unearned runs? Two are earned.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) You need to start insulting me or something!!!! Seriously. BigHurt, insult this man!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) Three of our better defenders in Pierre, Konerko and Morel have struggled defensively this year. I predicted Pierre would have a down year defensively. I was actually hoping I was wrong on that one.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) There are plenty of reports that they do. I've seen improved eye sight, hand-eye coordination, of course more muscle, improved injuries, etc but never about guessing pitches right or having outstanding intellect in pitch recognition.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 05:29 PM) No, ZoomSlowik says he needs to stop shooting them, the morning after that game, because he doesn't watch the games. Yet somehow I'm the bad guy and SoxAce is the self-anointed smartest basketball brain in the history of the world. I'll avoid this thread for the weekend. Geez. Now I know what Rowand44 was saying about you only reading what you want to read and missing the point. Take it easy champ.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) I'm glad you've anointed yourself and DBAHO as basketball geniuses though. That's company I'm happy I don't keep! (Oh wait, he didn't call Lebron! He's stupid!) Don't worry. I'll give Slavko, Felix, soxfan99, Rock, J4L, thxfrthmmrs and chw (metrics wise) their dues too.

I liked the trade because I was never a fan of Chris Young as a prospect when he was here. (Jason and danman can attest to that)

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Don't get me wrong, glad to see the cheating SOB go and I'll be glad if he never makes it to Cooperstown. I just don't think juice can elevate you that much. Even if Manny had a little less power, he'd still have been a great hitter. What made him great was his outstanding intellect in pitch recognition and tendency to "guess right." Steroids don't enhance that.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) Cough, Zoomslowik, cough. Yea, probably the only guy on this board (DBAH0 is up there too) who has a basketball mind as good or superior to mine is garbage... Yep.

Teahen.

I hope Rose can average about 8.8 apg over the last 4 games to get to 8 assists for the year. I know he doesn't care for stats, but he would only become the 5th player in NBA History to average 25-4-8 in a season. The other four... Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and LeBron James. Oh, and looks like Ricky Rubio will be in Minnesota next season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 09:56 AM) He has got to find a way to stay healthy. Ya I'm not expecting much from him after that surgery which limits his slider (which was his best pitch, think Liriano like) but hopefully he keeps developing that change-up. He could be useful down the line.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) EJax being a free agent next year with Boras as his agent is a main reason we are All In this year. No dout. We can only hope he really likes it here.

About to lay a bet down with my coworkers tonight that the sox will have a better record than the Cubs by mid-season. I can already smell that 50 bucks.

I missed the game except the 8th-9th inning. So I guess Edwin was dealing today huh? Resign him before he gets too expensive Kenny!!

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 08:03 AM) This bizarre. The baby came out black and Steve was like this can't be mine! Too bad he can't get with Fergie anymore.

I'm just happy that we actually have an offense this season.
