GoodAsGould

well since he we already know he has a good glove... regardless of 1 play from last night i obviously meant his hitting...

even though it hasnt showed yet i think Crede has improved greatly.

i want to see Ozuna start at ss today... Uribe has looked horrible at the plate.

this will be an upgrade for them really.... Hairston is an upgrade defensively and he can bat leadoff too making Patteron the #2 hitter.

but why mess with this team.... they obviously have great chemestry.... whatevr happened to, if it aint broken dont fix it.

Idonno Joe actually looked good at the plate against the twins this series... that 1st game he was hitting the ball hard just right at people... 2nd game he got a hit.. and while he K'd twice today he did hit that tough double against Santana today too....today Konerko looked really bad... but he been awesome for the season.

well Rowand didnt really look to good today did he... Ozuna had some good AB's and Iguchi was awesome in the 2 spot....as long as it works dont worry about it right?

I really dont see the problem.... Timo did fine when he was batting 5th and today Ozuna did fine batting leadoff both those K's he got were bs and they even showed how far the 2nd one was off the plate... also that bunt leadoff was beautiful.

I really thought we should of went and got Joe Randa too..... but Crede wasnt as bad as that play made him look to be... Uribe should of yelled out he was behind Joe or Joe has no way of knowing... Also Buehrle really didnt look 2 good anyways so i think it was bound to happen, If your going to blame anyone blame the home umpire who gave Santana an extra 6 inches.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) That tells me he's lost some of his Cy Young form & it might take him 1/2 a season to figure it out again. umm let me say this again... the 1st start of the season in the 1st inning does not mean anything.... if you bothered to pay attention after that 1st inning you would notice that he get like 14 of the next 15 batters out the only hit being a weak single by Beltre... if anything it shows you he still has his Cy Young form just 1st game jitters or something.

lol did someone say that Santana is not as good as he was anymore because in his 1st start of the season in the 1st inning he gave up 4 runs.... thats about the dumbest thing ive ever heard.... and after those 4 runs he totally shutdown the mariners anyways

i can never read through your posts... 2 stat heavy and that junk... simplify it down

its ok if you guys hate Eddy Curry... but you all are clearly letting your hate get in the way of all the positives EC does for the team.... and than say crap like he is going to suck again after his contract year with absolutely no proof... unless you know EC personally and he told you that after this year he is going to eat at McDonalds everyday what you say is void.

Didnt Frank said he is willing to take a minor league rehab assignment... if thats so it would make me really happy since it will catch him up to live pitching.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 07:07 PM) I hate to be such a downer, but I just think the Twins are going to win this one. They have Santana and we normally play bad on Sunday Nights. I also don't see them getting sweeped at home by us. If the Sox do lose tonight I will still be very happy with how they played this series. that was last years team... this is a new year new team les not condemn them on how we performed last year.

as been said b4 he boxes his guy out well so that he cant get the rebounds either... and its also been said earlier do we really need Curry to get those extra 5 rebounds when everyone else on our team is a good rebounder, would it be nice yes... But with everyone else crashing the boards it doesnt really hurt our team.

No i am not mistaking Curry with Chandler..... I know he has been gone for the past few games but damn it hasnt been that long... Curry has been doing the pick and roll with Kirk all year long , Chandler does it too but both of them arent on the court together for most of the game so.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 04:53 AM) They won 80 games last year and improved their rotation this offseason. How does that make them "overrated"? They're certainly not in the category of the mid-late '90s Tribe squads, but are a lot better than Joe Average thinks. Idonno do you watch ESPN at all.... And Kevin Millwood isnt exactly a huge upgrade even though he had a nice outing against us... im sorry but that offense isnt as good as advertised.... dont count out that Vizquel and Lawton both had big years for the last year leading it off in front of Hafner and Martinez...

not only did Timo hit it, it was a pretty big HR too, Ill admit when i saw Timo in that lineup i was like wtf where is Dye especially seeing Timo hit that high.... but that HR really sparked our offense that inning. I still say he goes down when Frank comes back

eh first of all if you paid any attention of the positives Curry has done this year you would notice he has boxed out his man from getting the rebounds a number of times, and Curry has done a whole lot of pick and rolls this year so dont know about that cant set a pick comment, if you noticed he started to block some shots recently and he has upped his defense a great deal from the begining of the year.... No his defense isnt great and he isnt a great shot blocker, but he has improved in those 2 area's drastically during the season and theirs no reason he wont improve further. I agree on you about Pietrus though. and Curry cant rebound but with Tyson out their dominating the boards and the rest of the team getting their fair share it really doesnt hurt the team that much.

yes its only April but at the end of the year the wins in April count on your record

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 03:33 AM) 1) WERE IN THE f***ING PLAYOFFS 2) They showed Deron Williams on the jumbotron and he got a mosnter ovation 3) WERE GOING TO THE GOD DAMN PLAYOFFS 4) FREE BIG MACS damnit i must of missed it when they showed Deron.. was it while the sox game was still on? When i went to a bulls game we barely missed 100

I think that anyone who just doesnt hate Eddy Curry, Qwerty and Wharris, know that a Dalembert Chandler combo is a serious downgrade from a Curry Chandler combo. Also keep in mind that Dalembert gets all his points from AI attracting all the defenders on him... and leaving Dalembert open for an easy dunk. If Qwerty still thinks Dalembert/Chandler combo is better after everything has been said in this thread its prob simply because he is 18 right now and a teenager and at this point of his life he thinks he knows everything

that would be awesome if Buehrle can start the season off with 2 scoreless appearances... I just hope we can give him more run support than the last time...

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 01:58 AM) Sweet. While a sweep would be great, it's not a necessity. No pressure. If the we can go 2/3, 2/4, 3/4 in series all season, we're set. Winning two out of three against an underrated Indians team was important, but winning at least two out of three against the three-time defending AL Central champs is huge. Talk about a confidence builder. I think you mean an overated Indians team but still i agree 2 series victories to start off the season is very nice. Also we have good pitching matchups against the Tribe.... Cliff Lee, Elearton, and Jason Davis.
