QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 11:27 PM) I really enjoy this whole Sox and Bulls winning on the same day thing. Perhaps they can repeat it in late October.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Yeah that is definitely 100% incorrect... if anything Ozzie puts too much emphasis in matchups. Mmmm... I don't really think 100%. I'd say 50%. He hardly ever works the lefty/lefty matchup or starts a bench guy hitting .280 against a pitcher over a regular starter hitting .240. He decides on the fly with input from his coaches. Buck Showalter is a matchup guy. Ozzie is not.

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) Q is 0/11 vs Masterson, Teahen is .286 in 14 AB's. just saying... That's 4 hits. If he got one less hit, he'd be hitting under .220 versus him. Fourteen at bats is a small sample size.

Oz is a "from the gut" guy. He doesn't go with matchups very often. It's "wait and see", I guess.

I don't know if Morel should be benched the day after he makes two errors. It seems counter-intuitive.

Winner: Carlos Quentin (8 points) - elrockinMT, buhbuhburrrrlz, robinventura23.

Any truth to the rumor that Dunn could start at 1st?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 03:51 PM) In his defense, you can't read the Oakland series with the script gray Chicago. It's not as easy, but it can be read. 7:10 CSN, 7:10 WCIU, 1:10 CSN

If you guys have cable or satellite, check out my Attention thread.

For the first week of the regular season, MLB Extra Innings is free in most cable and satellite markets. It may or may not be in your market, but it's a heads-up that it could be!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 06:22 PM) Great first game. Ohman, Pena and Lillibridge suck. Nothing we didn't already know! Pena put two runners on, but Sale came in and allowed them to score.

Couldn't convince the wife to name him Southpaw?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 01:14 AM) There we go! But despite not being able to read some of the dates due to color choice, it'll work. Thanks for the kind words.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 01:23 AM) Gotta clobber Fausto's weak s***. He can't strike anybody out, son. I'm predicting two Brent Morel grand slams in the same inning, and a 13-5 victory. Pessimist.

QUOTE (DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 12:18 AM) Aww yeah, love the wallpapers. But I think photobucket is resizing the larger ones. The biggest I can get full size is 1024x768 You're right. I'll fix that now. All fixed!

Geico Santos and Sale probably have never thrown a snowball before now since they were born and are living in warm states.

If the Sox can suck it up and forget about the cold and work the count, Carmona will walk every one of them and get guys on base for the sluggers.

Try 1024x768

How large is your monitor?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2011 -> 09:37 AM) Looks awesome. Any chance at a 1920 X 1080?

That's what... three Zeller brothers that played in major division 1 basketball? That's some gene pool.
