Cintron's at 2B

That pitch was actually 97mph, according to Hawk.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) And he could suck. You never know. Point is there is no need to s*** on others for having concerns. I know a lot of people point out to how if we give up on Anderson now, we should have given up on Dye last year. There's a big difference between a proven veteran like Dye, and a rookie who outside of one game in his career has shown no ability to string together consistent at-bats. Anderson's approach at the plate is bad, and I'm not sure if his current swing will ever result in him hitting over .225 in the majors.

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:49 PM) You are being too harsh because it is too early in the season right now and for BA's career. Just wait and see he might turn out to be even better than Aaron Rowand you never know. I think everyone will be disappointed if Anderson doesn't turn out to be better than Rowand in his career.

I have a feeling we'll see Gload playing for either PK or Thome (I'd definitely like to see Thome play today, as he hit some f'n rockets off of Elarton last week) and Mackowiak in CF.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:54 AM) BMAC has such a wild, violent motion; do you think that it could get him into trouble elbow/arm wise someday like what happened to Wood? It's not the motion which causes problems, it's your arm motion on the pitch/follow-thru. Wood always threw across his body, and put a tremendous amount of torque on his elbow with his slider. McCarthy's overhand curve shouldn't put as much stress on his arm.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:25 AM) His stuff IMO looks as good as I've ever seen it. As much as I still have some bullpen concerns, he sure as hell isn't one of them. Kudos to Bobby for working himself back into form and stay healthy! His stuff was amazing in the World Series last year. He's still trying to get a feel on his curve, as it's very inconsistent. However, I'm very impressed with his control recently.

Good win. We didn't hit great, but took advantage of that terrible error by Berroa.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) Is he throwing 86mph fastballs? No, they said it was 97 mph before.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:19 AM) This is one of those No Walk-Up games attendance wise This was the series that had the lowest pre-sales for the entire season. However, I'm pretty sure that the pre-sales for this series were still higher than the pre-sales for last season's opening series vs the Indians.

Anderson turned on the ball!!! Foul, of course.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:08 AM) Bruce Chen I believe. Yes it was, and with all those righties in the lineup, poor Chen didn't have much of a chance.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:04 AM) AWESOME DP by the Sox. I think the camera view took about a year off of all of our lives....except for Jabroni of course, since his Indians are winning big tonight.

YES!

Great, great pitch to Grudz.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:02 AM) Cotts and Jenks both up.... I don't want to see us bring in a lefty to face Mient, as Graffy is a better match-up vs Cotts than a righty is vs Mient.

Not a promising start to this inning. We don't want Sweeney batting with 2 on or as the tying run.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) You love your Ron Santo jokes. Yes...I have such a level of hatred for him. If I offend anyone....well, I'm not really sorry.

Strike 3? Take advantage of that Dye.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) Cleveland is dropping the s*** hammer on Baltimore. Lefties are going to have a hell of a time with that lineup this season.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) CMON DOUBLE STEAL. Ron Santo has just a good of a chance as stealing as these guys do.

Quick prediction: If PK pops up, we're going to see the bat throw and shoulder shrug.

Mercy....that ball was hit hard. Big insurance run. Sisco has not had a lot of luck against us in his career.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) Awesome. Pods is def back. If we could just get a competent offensive contribution by our center fielder, we'd have a tremendous offense.

Excellent Pods
