QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 04:18 AM) I talk to people and may be going again this year, but he'll be in Bham if things go well. Randar lives in the area of all 3 of the Sox minor league teams though so I'm sure he'll catch a few games. Yeah looking at the Bham OF it wouldnt be hard for him to get up there with a good showing....Last year he would of been stuck in High A. How fast do you think the sox would promote him if he performs well.

It would of been better article if It didnt mention Bonds... seemed like just a dumb cheap shot at him. Even though I do believe he did roids.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 03:52 AM) Remember Gomes was given pretty big bucks. I think some people expected him to start potentially higher than where he is. That said he has a unique talent, but whether that talent translates into a quality major leaguer, who knows. Going to be interesting to see what he does though, supposedly the ball just jumps off his bat. Does anyone at soxtalk live by the Winston Salem team or anything or no? And if no is anyone planning on going to any games this year that would be able to tell us a little about him if they did.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 01:19 AM) I don't know about that. They've really struggled in the 2nd half, and we were beating them by as much as 20 in the 3rd quarter last night. Well yeah they have struggled some in the 2nd half... but you cant use that 1 game vs the Magic against them lol . Maybe if Grant Hill comes back next season and you get a good player in the draft you can overpass them.

I think the 2 guys Im most interested in this year is Francisco Hernandez and Anderson Gomes.... besides a course Ryan Sweeny. But yeah a big year by Hernandez can really make him a legitimate prospect and he would almost be perfect to take over once Pieryznski's contract is up. And Gomes just because of how excited Phil Rogers seems about him and obviously the Sox to start him off in high A.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 02:47 AM) Well there's still questions on whether Mota can hold up for a whole season or not. If he pitches like he did setting up for the Dodgers though, the Indians pen suddenly becomes a WHOLE lot better. But I don't think Byrd or Johnson can do the job for them at the back end of the rotation either. Byrd is fine for a 4th-5th spot... basicly keeping it warm till one of their 3 prospects are ready. But yeah Johnson kind of sucks.

On the topic of jerseys.... does anyone know where I can get a Birmingham Barons?

she needs to stop talking and get to finishing that book =p

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 09:53 PM) For some reason the volume is ridiculously low.... Yeah thats weird.... I had it so high up so when I hear anything else it kills my ears.

The only ones who really impressed me was Westbrook and Mota like its been said. And Westbrook did better against us opening day last season so dont know if thats really signs of things to come.

Looks pretty good for the Bears... 1 Sunday night game and 2 Monday night games.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 05:46 PM) sweet thats an added bonus that I didnt even plan on having. ugh nm... you have to pay 20 more bucks to see triple a games... you would think it would be included on the mlb.tv package.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) On a side note...looking at the Knights website apparently you can watch minor league games on MLB.TV this year, as well as following them pitch by pitch. sweet thats an added bonus that I didnt even plan on having.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 03:07 PM) Ozzie is officially on my s*** list now (He'll be on and off all season). He's started the year off on the wrong foot by a) not putting his foot in his mouth and B) making irrational decisions about the lineup and bullpen. I won't rehash them--I think we all know what I'm referring to--but the Oz needs to realize spring training doesn't mean squat, and that those stats should be thrown out the window when he's making decisions. He sat Gooch because he was 2-16 against Washburn? Come on. Yeah Ozzie did really good last year of "putting his foot in his mouth".... or wait lets see last year I remember several incidents of calling Magglio a Venezuelan ***** and calling Frank out even b4 he played his 1st. I remember last year everyone complaining about his lineups and his bullpen management. But your right he should change everything this season because it obviously didnt work last one.

why are there so many complaining whitesox fans after we just won the WS and just saw the Banner and the Rings and everything. I expected it the last 2 seasons but jesus man.... some of you need to :banghead

you can argue against the Bulls and Indiana.... even though I think both are better teams. But Milwaukee is clearly better than the magic.

Im going to keep it easy for the first month.... Especially when we are facing a tough team like the Indians.... if after a month we look like crap out there of if the Royals sweep us I might worry a bit.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) I'll hopefully be able to start using MLB.TV because I'm moving to Texas. I stupidly used my Northwest Indiana address instead of my new Texas one, so I'm trying to contact customer service to change my address. And then...bliss. It shouldnt matter what address you used. Me and my friend in Texas use the same account. Im blacked out for whitesox games and he is blacked out for Rangers/Astro games. So it shouldnt be a problem once you move.

I like it... its more simple but still effective..... some of those rings are way out of control...

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) I needed a none of the above for both books and comics since I have never read comics in my life and quite frankly school has ruined any interest I once had in a good book (thanks for making me read horrific text books and awful awful books). I used to read 2 books a week and now I read maybe 1 a year. Yeah me too...I used to love books... but after reading so many crap books in school and s***... Ive lost almost complete interest in them. Oh and I scored 29 so I just barely skipped geekdom.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:12 AM) Wellemeyer pitched well too. Oh man, if only Borowski and Welleymeyer could have nice years and then see Mi Train and D Train do well as starters. The pitching desperate Cubs watch 4 arms they gave up pitch well, how ironic it would be (and actually, I think another arm from the Pierre deal made their team too). Yeah they got a SP prospect from the Cubs too in the deal.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 06:14 AM) Well I could have had it back but chose to come out west instead. I will still be on the board from time to time and want to first congratulate the sox's and wish them well this season. The Dbacks are a 4th place team but a bright future. I had a good 6 years in Bham and will never forget the players and the memories. Well to be fair you did pick the right year to get out . But yeah if your going to the Dbacks should be a lot of nice hitting prospects to watch. I wish you could stay your updates and information about the Barons were 2nd to none.

QUOTE(spiffalicious @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 03:51 AM) Yeah, I didn't quite get the point of his outfit. Did he become a pimp in the off season or something? Also, does anyone know who got a pie in the face when talking to the comcast guy? I don't know if that part was on tv but here is the picture that I am talking about pie It looks like Pods to me, but I am not sure Was that a Ben Davis jersey in the stands?

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 05:36 AM) Unfortunatly I will not in BHAM any more I will now be covering Dback and Sidewinder Games. When I get a chance I will listen to the Barons. Tucson will be a solid team. And Justin Upton will be a CF when returns from injury. WHAT!?!??! . What happened to your BHAM gig?

the Knights actually look like a pretty damn good team this season.
