QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 05:18 AM) Why even waste time typing that, seriosuly? well maybe i was being a bit extreme.... but he managed the game like he didnt care about winning it maybe it sounds better that way. Im all for playing bench players especially when we won the first 2 games of a series. But win we have won 8 in a row and the offense is clicking and we have 3 subs in...... Than when Garland went out there for the 8th especially with Ibanez up to bat who always has owned him. And than why IBB Reed when he has sucked offensively.

I honestly think Ozzie wanted us to lose that game. Plays 3 bench players all on the same team. Keeps Garland in when he obviously should of been pulled after the 7th. For some unknown reason gives Reed an IBB. I guess Ozzie only likes to win 8 in a row.

only team im worried about is Oakland.

I think we can pass the 100 win mark. And I think people are way 2 worried about the bullpen. Jenks has been perfect in save opportunities cant ask more than that and the closer is the most important part. And than I fully expect Cotts to become dominant out of the pen and B-Mac has already shown his worth out of the bullpen. Also Thornton has been useful and while he wont be as good as last season, Politte should improve from this horribly bad start.

The guy im excited the most about is Crede. He looks like he is still in post-season form. If he can hit like this the entire season its going to be hell for pitchers going through our lineup.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 07:12 AM) I'm going to have to give that title to willie who had Chris Young and Gio as his aap's last year. Nah they are actually good prospects... He is talking about making them become crap prospects.

lol well all I can say swearing has become so 2nd nature or whatevr when your a teenager sometimes it just comes out w/out thinking about it. And than you see a kid and you feel real bad and still swear by accident.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 06:10 AM) Omg that b**** got owned!

When I went there was a cubs fan in front of me but he came with a bunch of his sox fan friends. It was great because people behind us was giving the guy a hard time the whole game. As for the fans, yes they are more annoying this year but man its also awesome to have a full stadium too.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 05:37 AM) Umm first of all, it's still early. And 2nd, Morgan Ensberg last year: .283/.388/.557/.945 on the splits, 36 HR, 101 RBI, 85 BB, 30 2B, 86 R, 150 H How the hell has he looked completely different? Dude was a stud last year and he's off to a hot start this year. Last time I checked a .411 avg > .283 by a lot. Also 8 HR's he has been as good as a hitter if not better than Thome so far. And he wasnt near that last season although as shown still had a great season. Also doesnt everett lead NL shortstops in RBI's or something yeah that will stop he is horrible offensively. Would be kind of cool if we had a rematch Houstan vs Whitesox. One team people shouldnt sleep on though is the Cubs. If they can stay in reach imagine the boost they will get with Prior, Wood, Miller, and Dlee all coming back in a month or two. Their bullpen is very good and with Dlee also have a good lineup.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 02:18 AM) Umm, I don't know what's wrong with his speed, and I don't think he's been as awful as you're suggesting, but he's NOT in bad shape and he DOES throw well still and has all spring long. It's just that this is the way Freddy throws -- inconsistent, particularly at home and at night. And that's usually because he "pitches to his competition." Ummm.... he looks like to me he is in bad shape and he threw like crap in spring.

my first game of the season and first since the 04 season. Had a great time and everything but just a couple complaints. I guess one isnt a big deal but didnt like seeing a fan throwing the ball back on the field after Lew Ford's HR. Although in my section everyone was like NOOOO. The only other problem was people now always walk in front of you and stand up during an inning. I dont go to the ballpark much but last time I went people only did that inbetween innings. Also the beer vendor for our section I think was retarded and cross eyed. That isnt the problem but he was spilling the beer everywhere and for like an entire inning he was blocking my friends view because he was standing in front of the seats in front of us instead of the walkway or whatevr.

QUOTE(bulokis @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) How did Cinci get him from the Indians? He was on Shapiro's s*** list so not sure if he just released him and traded him for crap but they didnt gain anything of significance from losing him.

QUOTE(ShoeLessRob @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 12:43 PM) Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the trade go down after he just homered in a game against the Cubs? I pictured he wasn't a happy camper returning to the dugout with those news. Yep, he hit a homer and than was pulled early and everyone was worried and s***. Than we found out we got Freddy Garcia.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) Insanely heavy college pitching draft. There are a ton of stud collegiate pitchers out there this year. Im really hoping we find a guy with filthy stuff this year instead of just going after the guys with great control. Even Lumsden has a low 90's fastball... be nice to have a guy who can throw mid-high 90's and have another good pitch to compliment it. Even if he doesnt have great control we can work on that.

QUOTE(rventura23 @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) where are you coming from? Northwest Suburbs.... so prob start on the Elgin.

After voyager I think everyone is bored of Star Trek.

Can anyone tell me a way to get there avoiding the Dan Ryan? My first sox im going 2 in like 2 seasons so dont really know the area well.

Im going to the game... my only problem is lol I dont know how to get there not using the Dan Ryan.

Looks like Valido and Getz are both getting it back together after a slow start.... Getz is over the .300 mark and Valido is climbing steadily. I hope those 2 can both succeed would be a nice duo leading off for the sox in 08.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Well, I guarantee you that the report was wrong then. Actually Cuban was on ESPN saying it himself.... so unless he has an evil clone spreading lies I dont think it is wrong.

has anyone ever deserved to be sexually assaulted? If there hasnt.... maybe this is the first.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 05:30 AM) Right now i'd be very scared at Fields at 3rd. He just can't field. I wouldn't be shocked if he eventually went the route of Carlos Lee and moved to LF (or RF for that matter). However I am sure the Sox will give him plenty more time to see if he can get things settled at first. He's a good athlete, but he has a lot of trouble getting himself in an improper fielding position. Idonno from the sounds of it while still not good he has become much better than he was before at 3B. Does he have the speed to play in the OF?

I think the majority of those walks were in his 1st start too. If he can cut it down to only 2-3 walks a game he can be a real stud.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Nice. For some reason, I can't find it in me to give up on Malone. He's been one of my favorite prospects since like 2001. me 2... for some reason ive always been a huge fan of his. He still has pretty good stuff.
