The most overrated player in the history of sports, David Padgett, is having just a terrible game.

As much as I like a high OBP guy at the top of the order, I don't think Swisher's going to last long there.

The Cubs: 99 years of misery
QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Mar 29, 2008 -> 11:36 PM) Well, now that the Red Sox and White Sox have won the World Series...there's no one with more futility other than the Cubs. Soooooo...that's why ESPN is talking about them. They aren't winning the World Series this year. Not with Lilly, Marquis and Dempster in the rotation. What's wrong with Ted Lilly? I think he's an asshole, but he's a very competent starter.

Ugh, this outfield defense is going to raise my blood pressure. Dye's running in even deeper quick sand than he was last year.

I hope Ozzie learned a lot from that at bat.

Xavier looks nervous as can be. They've missed quite a few shots by a wide margin.

Ah, I forgot how much I hate watching Uribe bat.

That a boy Pablo. BTW, that was some impressive opposite field strength by Quentin.

Juan Uribe Celebrates Racial Equality By Eating His Weight In Ribs
Haha, hopefully we get some bounces like that when the season starts.

Nice effort by Contreras today.

Dye's looked terrible every time I've seen him bat this spring.

Wow, Swisher looks terrible in CF. It's funny how everyone complains about Fields defense killing us at 3rd base while we might have the slowest RF/CF combo in the majors.

Contreras seems to be throwing a different type of fork ball this year. It's more like a back door curve. I haven't seen the radar gun yet on his heater.

The Cubs: 99 years of misery
It's too bad the Sox didn't make a multi-year off to Kerry Wood. He'd look great in the bullpen, as he's throwing 99-100 mph right now. I know he's a huge injury risk...but so is Dotel.

Pods looked crappy leading off the game.

Canseco injected Maggs
Even though I think ARod has used PEDs, I don't believe Canseco. I feel as if Canseco has personal hatred for him, and he's taking advantage of the public believing everything he says in order to tarnish ARod. And someone please tell Canseco to stop wearing make-up. He looked terrible on tv last night.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 28, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) 80% or more? I'm thinking its more like a quarter, at most. Not even close....60 pct is the number I've always heard from scouts. It's interesting the Ordonez stuff, as Boers and Bernstein made a comment about him after he left the Sox, and KW just laughed when asked about him using PEDs.

Tenn's pg play tonight was embarrassing. Of course, Chris Lofton continued his terribly disappointing senior season.

The joke that is KW and the White Sox
QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) And FWIW, Danks alone went 7 outings last year of less than 5 innings. And most of that was when Ozzie was fed up with Danks for not "competing" on the mound. The more I think about it, we really don't need both MacDougal and Wasserman on the roster. Both guys are righty specialists, in some ways. Like someone said earlier, I would have rather seen Carrasco than Masset as the long guy. People seem to forget that Masset's WHIP was in the stratosphere last season as a reliever.

The joke that is KW and the White Sox
QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) With 5 inning-Danks, Floyd, and a scary Contreras in the starting rotation, I want a guy who can give us 3-4-5 innings in the pen. I don't want to blow up all of these guys because one situational 6th inning guy pitched better in spring training and late last year. We need the guy who makes the most sense to the set up of the team. Even if it isn't Masset, we need a guy who can suck up innings in case starters falter. If Wasserman wants to be that guy, he had better stretch out that arm. How many times since Ozzie's been with the Sox has he pulled a starter before 5 innings? I would guess we can count the number on one hand.

swisher to lead off to start the season and play center
I'd be thrilled if Swisher hits first all season.

The joke that is KW and the White Sox
QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 02:40 PM) MacDougal hasn't given up a run in over 3 weeks. Yet some people are read to annoint Dotel as our bullpen's saviour.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 02:35 PM) The better solution to that may have been to keep Masset and Wassermann, and send MacDougal down to AAA or trade him (if that was possible). MacDougal is throwing quite well right now. Why trade him at his lowest possible value?
