QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 11:25 AM) It just doesnt make sense, the reason Marmol wasnt the "closer" is for situations last night where he could come in and get a much needed strikeout. So, instead of using Marmol they being in Gregg and ofcourse end up losing the game. It may not...but the fact that Marmol was in the WBC and Gregg did pitch lights out in Spring Training had a lot to do with it tho.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 12:46 PM) I still have a Sports Illustrated from that event. I think it was the Chicago Daily News the next day had a series of color photos of the swing so you can cut them out , put them on index cards and flip through them to recreate it as a a mini highlight reel. I still have every single one of those index cards that I so meticulously glued the photos. Here's an article from TSN on the 25th anniversary of setting the record. http://www.sportingnews.com/archives/aaron/152544.html ^^^^^^^^^^^ OLD.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 02:15 PM) if he has a good yr..maybe 260,30,90 something like that or better, cant you see the sox bringing him back next year, at a discounted rate? I think we can all see that...but there's two things, one, does KW see that? two, does Big Jim see that?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) How come they didn't boo when Quentin fanned before Thome homered? Or when AJP and Ramirez had back to back pop outs with the bases loaded an nobody out? The boos were very noticeable for Wise. Unfortunately for Wise, he isn't very good but has been put in a position with a lot of responsibility that he probably doesn't have the ability to fulfill.. He has become the USCF whipping boy. Why? Because Quentin, AJ and Ramirez have done a LOT more for this team than D-Weezy has. And as a leadoff hitter, ON OPENING DAY, to get a hat trick and two failed sacrifices...thatsa no goood. hamburgers happens in one at bat. But, 3 K's and really nothing to show for anything...i mean, c'mon. He's doing the best he can, but that's probably not going to be good enough.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) will he lose power by not loading the bat up at as much? Shouldn't if the bat head gets thru the zone quicker, like CQ.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 04:07 PM) You heard it on B&B, and yes there should. I think Boers said something like "To think Jordan is in the same hall as some woman's coach five people have heard of is absurd." Couldn't agree more. I think it's good that it celebrates the game. It shows that there is more to basketball than just the NBA. There is a world outside of it. Personally, I like it.

Comes to bat, standing O. Swings at first Contreras forkball...wrenches back...out for season. (I really don't wish that on him, for the record)

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 10:42 AM) Rumor has it (and a TV schedule) that Sox-Royals are on WGN tonight at 6:11 PM (MDT-in God's Country) Gavin Floyd gets the start. See you all on TV tonight. And I will be there.

CQ likes to practice his swing everywhere.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 01:02 PM) I'll take that type of at bat from him even if he does K. Took some pitches, saw a few, pitcher won, it happens. Getz grounds to Meche. 2 down. Q. +1

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 01:00 PM) Wise already has seen 5 pitches. I like that out of him. And he's fighting off some good ones.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 12:58 PM) Looked like he was calling the same pitches balls for the entire inning and then on that last batter the same locations were suddenly strikes. I hate inconsistent umpires. Hey, it's opening day for them, too. If he's still doing that in May, then we have a problem. Go git 'em, Dweezy!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 12:54 PM) Guillen pops up shallow right to Wise. 1st and 2nd, 2 out. Dweezy doesn't catch fly balls. Fly balls are drawn to his musk.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 11:12 AM) I am surprised Mariotti hasn't come up with one...just to get back in the public eye. The problem, of course, is that he never breaks any news, he just takes quotes and information from other media members and repackages it as his own. So the irony is that while Jay was complaining about the newspapers being irrelevant in terms of their on-line presence, it's his style of journalism which doesn't fit the new world of twitter and blogging. Who?

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 11:13 AM) Dweezy doesn't draw walks, he gets walked. We gonna make Dweezy Chuck Norris-like? Dweezy doesn't hit home runs, he stares the ball into the outfield concourse.

Sorry, a little late, but, Happy Birthday!!!

Best Day of the Year...by FAR! Pick to Click: Chris Getz.

You guys are also forgetting about Goddell time. There's a good chance he's going to be suspended for part or all of next season, depending on jail time. Give me Torry.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 04:17 PM) I think Floyd will bring Arizona back to the dominant school it used to be. According to ESPN Radio...Floyd staying at USC.

QUOTE (Scwible @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) Wow, this is not a bears kind of move. wow.... It is now!

Overpay...but it needed to be done. Super Bears...Super Bowl!!!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 02:16 PM) I told my wife I had chlamydia. You know...the key to a good April Fool's prank is to make something up....

Only if he's still married.

One word...awesome. Best. Sleeping Bag. Ever.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 11:59 AM) I don't and never will. 'Understand' was the wrong word to use. I don't either, I meant to say, I see why they did it. Protecting the values of the religion. But, it's definitely wrong.
