The swings are way too long against someone like Washburn. Hopefully, we'll have better ABs the second time through the order.

Washburn's control is fantastic so far. He's hitting his spots on every pitch.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 02:19 AM) Twinks lose to the Royals. KC wins two straight series over Cleveland and MInny. Beastly. Ummm....KC is 1-1 in this series vs the Twins, and they face Santana tomorrow.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 02:16 AM) I feel sorry for M's fans that have to watch Willie F Bloomquist. Nice play Uribe! What's wrong with Bloomquist? I think he's a very smart player who does a very good job in his role. I'd take him as my backup over someone like Willie Harris, who can't bunt and isn't a good base runner.

The final game of the series at Seattle is usually awful for the Sox. It would be nice to change that tonight.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 09:15 PM) I guess I'm the only one that thinks a fan can only root for one team. I second this claim.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 09:09 PM) A couple of lucky April wins will be more than trumped by not having D Lee for 3 months. Their talent level, even without Lee, is still pretty strong in the pathetic National League.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) That and the fact they are in 4th place in the NL Central and 2nd place in Chicago right now. Neither of that means s*** right now though. They're 4th place in the Central, but we're 20 games into the season, it's not August. Their record is good, and playing the Marlins couldn't have come at a better time for them. Something I've noticed is that they seem to have a horse shoe up their ass so far this year. They've received a lot of lucky plays/errors by other teams that have allowed them to win games they shouldn't have.

Before Cubs fans start to tell you how great they are, you might want to point out their upcmoing June schedule. Goodness, that's a ridiculously hard schedule they're going to face. Lots of games vs the Cards, Astros, Reds, White Sox, Tiger, Twins, and Indians.

Can anyone watching the Cubs game tell me how bad the throwing error by Hanley was? Would it have been a double play with a good throw?

The more I look at the Marlins lineup, the more I think they won't win more than 50 games this season. What a disgrace that team is.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 04:26 PM) Rowand had a good arm, just no accuracy. He used to have a very good arm, but by last season, his arm was awful. If you didn't know better, you'd think he thought the goal was to try and hit the back of the pitcher's mound on every throw home. He also had a terribly long release on his throws. Since this is bash Rowand time, I'll repeat this....he'd be the perfect 4th outfielder for a team to have. He would be a great platoon guy vs LHP.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) "After Dye's 2nd HR is looked like he and Gload were having a little argument in the dugout which was covered by the CSN cameras. Anyone else see this?" I saw the shot you're talking about but I didn't get the impression they were bickering It probably was trash talking, as Gload hit the top of the fence, and Dye hit a bomb.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) I love it, but I also know that Haeger has about a .5% chance of pitching meaningful innings for the White Sox. I think the Sox brass really likes Haeger, and he has as good a chance of starting at the big league level in two seasons as anyone else in our minors.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) Annnnnnd where would you get that from? He has some back issues right now. It was reported on the radio over the wknd.

Logan got the save.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 04:57 AM) How does he get a save? Makes no sense. I'm pretty sure if you pitch the last 3 innings of a win, you get a save.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 04:54 AM) Is Matt Thorton dead or something. He hasnt been in a game in forever. We dont pitch him in close games, we dont pitch him in blowouts. Has he been sitting to close to Ross. He's been having back issues.

The funny thing is that Logan gets a save for tonight.

The last pitcher who I saw make a 10 run lead seem small was Paniagua.

I can't see how it won't be J. Lopez who's called up.

QUOTE(SoxRock05 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 04:38 AM) If I can remember correctly people were ranting and raving about boone in ST....now he gives up some runs and he is back to AA....you guys are rediculas and dont give any of these kids a chance. It was f'n Spring Training. Some of the dumbest personel decisions are made when organizations take Spring Training stats seriously. There were a lot of people on this site who didn't want Logan on the big league team. And the thing is, he's been worse than I thought he'd be.

QUOTE(SoxRock05 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 04:35 AM) What I mean is that he is better than any of you can ever do...A, AA, AAA or majors.....let these kids pitch in MLB games...your not going to have an experienced pitching staff forever if you dont let these guys learn and play with the big boys. There's a reason there's a minor leagues. It's so players can harness their command/stuff, and be able to pitch effectively in the majors. Looking at Logan's stuff/command, he has a long ways to go to consistently throw strikes and keep hitters off-balanced.

This is the most impressive hitting performance I can remember for the Sox in a long time. We've hit some absolute bombs tonight, as well as some rockets all over the field.

Think AJP is trying to hit his first homer?
