QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 12:52 PM) Frank Thomas grand slam against Boston. Most shocking part, he hit a first pitch fastball. I cant remember when Frank swung first pitch, but if he starts doing it more often I think he could put up some solid numbers. And as an added bonus 3 of the 4 runs that scored on his granny will be charged to Josh Beckett. 4 2/3 IP, 6 ER, quite the start to the season.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 11:45 AM) I know he is no longer in our organization, but anybody know where Andy Gonzalez is? Did somebody actually sign him? He's with the Buffalo Bison, the AAA affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 11:43 AM) But you don't even want to give Brian a chance? Why does Quetin deserve it and not him? He had a hell of a spring, and we know hes proven on defense, and we're just gonna sit him on the pine. I don't get it. Carlos Quentin is just a better baseball player IMO, he was always rated higher as a prospect, put up much better numbers than Brian in the minors, had a monster rookie season (in extremely limited ABs), finished off Spring Training with some outstanding play and has made the absolute most out of his opportunity to play thus far in 2008. The better question is; how do you justify sitting down Carlos Quentin at this point? I don't think you can.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) Seriously, I think Anderson is just never going to be given a fair shot. I think I'm finally going to let go and find another manlove. With Quentin's potential and the way he's started off this season there's just no room for Brian. There's no excuse for him not being in CF in say the 8th or 9th inning of EVERY close game this season but aside from the occasional start to give one of the old guys some rest there's just no room in the lineup for Brian Anderson right now.

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 11:07 AM) I like Brian, but if he didn't start against Robertson, he's not starting against Verlander...Verlander is one of the last pitchers I'd run a kid against who hasn't even had an at bat this year (i think). At least Anderson has reached base twice (BB & 1B) vs Verlander in 5 career PA.

Konerko has a career line of .150/.150/.150/.300 w/ 7 K, 0 BB and 3 singles vs Verlander. In other words; dreadful. With a contact pitcher in Buehrle on the mound, Konerko's early season struggles to go along with his historical s***iness vs Verlander you could maybe justify the move. One thing's for sure with Quentin in LF and Anderson in center the big boppers for Detroit would have a tough time finding the left centerfield gap.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:54 AM) When is Richar expected to return? May. He'll probably have to rehab for 2 weeks or so in AAA.

Ehren Wassermann Freddy Garcia Javier Vazquez Carlos Quentin

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) but what so ever shall we do with Ramirez?? Oh yea! 2nd Base!!! I'll definitely take Uribe over Ramirez at 2B until Richar is healthy. Alexei should be in AAA right now learning how to hit a pitch that isn't a 90 MPH straight fastball.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) I smell a big night for Thome. Career vs Verlander: 7-18, 5 HR, 6 BB, 4 K That's a line of .389/.542/1.222/1.764

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 11:37 PM) So, they're not related at all, like I said. You're welcome

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 11:12 PM) I've yet to unearth any proof via Google that they are related to one another. http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:n9nvD...lient=firefox-a

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 06:33 PM) He was never ranked highly overall. In 2004 he was rated #76 between Bubba Nelson (#75 - Braves) and Andrew Sisco (#76 - Cubs). That's the only appearance he made on the BA top 100 list.

With a Swisher-Anderson-Quentin 9th inning OF that ball never gets within 4 feet of the ground.

Wow, why the f*** is Swisher still in CF?

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) Linebrink shows all of soxtalk that they were wrong (except a select few like me). It's April 4th. Seriously, the 4th of April.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) anyone think ozzie will do the right thing and put anderson in center for dye, with either quentin or swisher in left and the other in right? You'll see Quentin-Anderson-Dye in the bottom of the 9th.

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 01:56 PM) Is this a contract year for AJP? No, he signed an extension through '10 late last year.

QUOTE(Bhay99 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 12:05 PM) There's a huge gap between stud and juan uribe....I want someone in the middle Such as . . . you're right, with all those great 2B out there it's pretty f***ed up that KW didn't acquire one.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 12:02 PM) Maybe Kenny knows more than some of you guys here? "All this has done is put the Tigers in a better position to contend with us" - Kenny Williams (December 12, 2007)" Remember we did go 11-7 last year against them despite the horrible year we had It's the 4th f***ing game of the season one of the worst things you can do as a fan is overreact to early season happenings. And if the Sox are significantly better than the Tigers this year the only person on the face of the earth who saw it coming was KW.

QUOTE(Bhay99 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 12:00 PM) It is a sad situation when Juan Uribe is your best option at 2b....we should have taken care of this already Danny Richar would be a nice option if he didn't have that whole rib situation. You're not going to have a f***ing stud at every base.

I LOVE contact AJ

And 'Dead' continues to drive the ball.

Nate Robertson must DIE!
