The Sox need to suck it up in this cold weather and play better. Today's weather is going to be worse than the last two, cold and miserable. Can we expect the normal starting lineup today? Floyd needs to be our wildcard this year.. i hope he steps it up again. The offense needs to continue to hammer Verlander again today... Lets not give the kitties any sort of momentum.

my bad.. just saw it, got excited... GO SOX! Lets get em Wednesday!

Hell yeah AJ! Keep it going...

1. AJ (his big homerun on friday to take the lead, and his intentional walks yesterday) 2. Quentin- this guy is proving to us that he can hit the hell out of the ball. How do you take him out of the lineup at this point? 3. Swisher- Great defense out in center, some big hits scattered along the series also. Taking his walks, patient at the plate.

DEEEEFENSE came through big time today. Quentin, Swish and Crede all with heads up plays. Floyd did a great job attacking the hitters today. Only made one mistake to Inge, but its not like that was a bad pitch, Inge is just a solid hitter. Looks like Logan-Linebrink-Jenks trio is a go with Thorton and Dotel as the insurance policy. Pitching & defense wins today but you have to give props to the offense, it isn't corpseball anymore. Welcome back White Sox baseball.. we missed you. Keep it going...

I just dont see how St. Louis wins this game... oh well it was a good season. Im looking forward to having all 82 games on tv next year for the first time in Chicago in what 50 years?!?

2-2 tie game at the end of the 2nd period. THe season comes down to one period... GO BLUES!!

1-0 at the end of the first period. Our season is down to 2 periods.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 12:27 AM) It's interesting to watch, but the Tigers have been sort of shadowing what the White Sox have done the past few years...I predicted in about June of last season that the Tigers would collapse in the second half just as the 06' White Sox did. Could they possibly follow the White Sox again and be terrible this season? hmm is there a pattern here? Only time will tell... If the Tigers follow our pattern from best in the league to almost worst, I hope we follow Boston's pattern (Champ, barely make playoffs/ just miss playoffs, Miss playoffs, Champ)

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 04:28 PM) If you want to feel even more ill before tonight's game, check out the results of the season series between Nashville and St Louis. Ugh ugh ugh -- hate having to rely on the Blues. anything is possible!!! GO BLUES!!!

1) Danks 2) Masset (Thank you Bmac ) 3) AJ.. his new approach at the plate is impressive. Lets take 2 of 3 in Detroit. Miggy Cabrera is day to day.

I know its one game but Danks is slowly proving that he can be a pretty damn good pitcher. Now the key is to sustain at this level and be consistent through out the year. No 2nd half collapses. If Floyd can get off to a good start this year than you know KW will be smiling wide... Hopefully he took notes from the KC pitchers

Wow just got back from work and saw that we won... can somebody emphasize on Danks performance? Also if Contreras and Floyd follow up to something similar its a great sign for this season... Hopefully Jose can rebound and Floyd continues his suprising dominance over those Tigers!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:18 AM) Pitching won't be a problem in 2008. KW promised. haha only time will tell... not too impressed with our SP early on. And they are our 1-2 punch. I really am nervous to see what Contreras, Danks and Floyd do next... if our offense cant get it going in April we are in big trouble.

how many runners stranded is that? yikes...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 10:43 PM) A-ram didnt do much other that wait out a walk. He flat out cant hit a changeup or a slider. Aram will be good for us... its not going to be overnight... he'll be fine. He may benefit from some time in triple-a. Im guessing they'll wait for Owens to come back before they move him down to the farm.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 10:41 PM) I really loved watching the enthusiasm of Swisher and Cabrera, but the bullpen sucks again for us. thats a bit premature. Massett proved more than worthy he can be the long man. Boone was solid... And Dotel although gave up those hits was still one pitch away from getting out of it... I would be more concerned with the Starting pitching. Our offense and defense will be fine...

QUOTE(The Beast @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 10:30 PM) Say we scored the 2 runs or what have you, would we have won if Dotel imploded like he did? I will never blame a baseball game on an umpire like that. Ever. Hold me to that. well those 2 outs called would have kept the inning going wiht momentum. We probably could have scored 4 runs that inning giving us 12 runs total including JD's shot in the 9th. So yea even with Dotel's implosion we still probably would have won.

you hate to blaim a game on umps... but these guys really were bad out there... this game should have been won... these guys show heart..we missed that last year.

well if somehow we overcome the umpirindians today... this team just may have a shot.

not good...

nice offspeed junk there!

cmon dotel get this guy

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 10:00 PM) no use, umpire judgment isnt going to be overturned...this is why baseball needs replay! your damn right... excellent post

well these guys are showing heart.. i give them regardless of what happens....
