QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) Game's not even over when I'm posting this, but the Pacers-Celtics series is tied at 2-2. You went out on a limb saying that... Walker doesn't play and they have an awesome game. Shocking.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 09:49 PM) The problem with Willie, and I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, is that he never head first slides. I know it's a preference thing, but it's my preference that he not waste outs by sliding feet first. If you think about it, the feet first slide is definitely slower. I can't say how much, but if it's 1/5 of a second slower, that's obviously what's hurting him. It's obvious that he's got speed. That theoretical .2 seconds is a big deal. Good point. It is also that much harder to get get around the tag. You have so many options with the head first slide to evade the tag. Players should only do a feet first slide if they know for a fact that they are gonna be safe. Which doesn't happen often since most stolen base are contested.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) Who is definitely out for tomorrow's game ... Guillen wants to keep Uribe and Ozuna out until Tuesday, Dye is suffering with a bad flu bug. I guess everybody else can play. That means Podsednik and Perez in there vs. a lefty unless Dye gets better overnite. Guillen likes to throw guys right in there so Lopez will probably play but I have no problem with Harris getting the start, he has not been hurting the team at SS. Since timo will most likely be playing can pierz bat fifth instead of timo? If he doesn't play at least move up rowand or crede. I wonder if widger will play again since he caught garland in his last outing against oakland. How do you think ozzie does it?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Damn, high praise for Carl, Peavy, Johan, Pujols, and Vlad right there. They are lucky they are in the same company as widger.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) Lopez might start tomorrow. You get to see him first hand too. Lucky you.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 09:12 PM) It amazes me to watch Barry Bonds take pitches. That are four feet out of the strike zone. Carl crawford, peavy, santana, pujols, vlad, and widger.

We need a win tomorrow for it to set us up for a nice little streak considering we face the royals next.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) I don't like to use a guy for 7 outs and then use him in the 9th the next day. He was starting just last year. He has more than enough stamina.

Lead-off single...

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:45 PM) wow, surprised they ran him Pierz is not known for his arm.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) anyone else pretty impressed by Nook Logan this series? I heard someone in baseball say he hs 100 steal speed and I have been very impressed with his speed on the paths and the field Three years in a row he had over 500 at-bats in the minors and his stolen base numbers declind from 67, 55, 37. He would never steal close to 100 bases especially not at a very high percentage.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) Refresh my memory. What did Sexson get? I want to say 4/$40, but that doesn't seem right. Angry Cliff Politte has been really, really good Cliff Politte this year. So far.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:38 PM) Let's worry about that after the season. As of now, I'm rooting for P-Kon. As am i.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I know I shouldn't be talking about this now, but I'm really interested in what he and his agent expect (as far as a contract extension). At the end of the year, I think Konerko should put up the numbers of a year ago. I'm not too worried about the slump, he's streaky. Streaky hitters do not belong batting fourth unless they have a monster ops which he does not.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) You cannot build your offense around this guy. He was always the 3rd 4th or 5th option in the lineup but he can't be the man. He disappears too long Konerko better not be brought back. There are better options than him for cheaper or the same amount.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) Yeah, I saw you typing after it happened. Maybe you're watching on a 2-minute delay? Settle down. I was kidding.. I was typing the first part before he stole. Second part once he stole. Pretty easy to figure that out i thought.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) That was jim's call. Nice try though... Apparently you did not see me quoting jimh agreeing with him and stating why i thought it was a good idea.

Carl walks first and second two outs for konerko.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Iguchi should try to steal here. I agree, long delievery and bad pick off move. He does, wo0t.

Iguchi singles 4-3 sox.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) Fire Ozzie. Fire Kenny. Blow up the team. :rolly Haha, sounds very very familar.

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:04 PM) like i said its april 30th. relax. s*** like this happens to the best of the them. This is an offensive trend that i can see lasting for a long while. It will get better but not much. We can't get guys on and when we do we cannot get a clutch hit. That is not a very good combination. Also, out pitching will only get worse from here on out.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:02 PM) This is where timo can prove why he is batting fifth... He does.

This is where timo can prove why he is batting fifth...

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) Attacking you, yeah right. You said he was bad, I said he was not great but not bad either. Saying he is overrated is different than saying he is bad. If you don't want people to challenge what you say, then say what you mean. Overrated because of his ability to steal bases, I would more tend to agree with that. I have talked negatively about Harris many times, I haven't been attacked. I said you were not attacking me at all. But i have seen it many of times here. I believe i said he is overated as a whole and a bad defender. So i said what i meant and i satnd by it. Maybe there are not attacks but people do gang up on others often for different opinions. I am guilty of it too.
