The more I read, the more it sounds like alcohol was involved. Stupid, stupid, stupid...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 12:10 PM) Masterson vs. Floyd on Thursday, ESPN says. Weird. No L-R-L-R format by Ozzie, eh?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:21 AM) I think it's amazing to think that they open the season with a 3 game series and still get to have Danks open against the Twins Isn't Danks pitching against Cleveland tomorrow?

Jones should be batting 6th or 7th after Rios/AJ instead of Kotsay.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 11:48 PM) Now if only I wasn't stuck with the Rays announcers I'd be happy. At least Magrane left Tampa.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) I assume you're talking about Joey Votto, if Yonder Alonso gets called up. That's not going to happen, so don't get your hopes up. They'll try to shift Alonso to LF first.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 10:55 PM) If Thornton had that same stuff and command all season, I don't think anybody would mind him being our permanent closer. Wow. I wouldn't mind either if they got another LHP to replace his BP spot. Having Randy Williams as the only other lefty is rough.

Boers is the tall guy on the left.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) anyone pick up Just Cause 2? if you like open world/sandbox gta4 style games, you will enjoy this i guarantee it. The size of the world in Just Cause 2 makes GTA4's look miniscule.. You need to fly a plane just to get from one end of the map to the other, or else itll take forever. this games going to keep me busy for a while till UFC 2010 comes out.

QUOTE (Linnwood @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) I want to know why no one is asking the important question: Why didn't he come to Chicago to throw out the first pitch?! He is the President of the United States, I would think he has the pull to get that worked out. Because we already have the answer. The President was celebrating the one hundreth anniversary of the first time that a US President threw out the first pitch of a game in Washington DC.

I like SportsNation because they don't take themselves seriously. The whole show is opinion, fan interaction and craziness. Why not have a bit of fun in the afternoon? Besides, I'd rather see Michelle Beadle discuss sports than Tony Kornheiser.

The problem is that Konerko might be top 10 in walks this year if Kotsay bats behind him. While walks aren't bad, they aren't singles and RBI opportunities. If a better power threat bats 5th, Konerko has a better chance of actually seeing strikes and driving runs in.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:00 AM) MLB 10 The Show? Chip Carey wants to get cross-promoted.

Quagmire and Big Foot have a radio show?

I read the Sun Times article. Dibble quizzed Obama about Sox players that played when he was growing up. Obama said he didn't know Sox players when he grew up because he wasn't in Chicago, nor a Sox fan until later in life. He knows, Buehrle, Danks, etc. He just didn't know Sox guys from the mid-late 70s, and honestly, not many posters here would either.

Most teams aren't tied down to the whole, "L,R,L,R" batting order setup like the Sox. I just don't see why you can't have the lineup be: Pierre Beckham Quentin Konerko Rios Pierzynski Ramirez Teahen Kotsay/Jones So what if there's three lefties in a row or four righties. It's never kept Minnesota or Detroit from winning when they set their lineups like that.

Hm. whitesox.com's video area keeps giving me server error issues. They must be getting hit by major traffic due to the Buehrle play.
