On a separate note, how great has Mack looked in LF the last 2 nights? It's so unusual to see such confidence/ability in LF for the Sox. So great to see. QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 11:16 AM) At the game I was surprised Mack was still in LF with a no no going in the 7th. I can only think BA was in left because of Mark being left handed against mostly right handed hitting. For that ONLY, I give Ozzie benefit of doubt on that strange move He said about a week ago that if he was going to make any defensive replacements late in games that it would be Brian heading to LF with Erstad in CF. I guess he doesn't want to disrespect his veteran players or hurt Erstad's feelings. Ozzie is pretty much living in his own world on this one.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 11:07 AM) Even if he's right, Anderson needs to STFU. These types of comments are going to do nothing but irritate Ozzie and KW. I really don't think it matters anymore, from the looks of it they've even soured on him a bit as a defensive player and if that's the case then he's pretty much long gone at this point.

Ozzie is of the belief that Darin Erstad is the superior centerfielder which is a complete joke. Despite the fact that he's slower and has made numerous mental mistakes this season Ozzie can just fall back on the fact that he won a GG playing out there every day like 5 years ago.

I b****ed about on here twice last night, it felt like it was put together in order to mock Sox fans. I never got the idea that they even cared about the team in the least.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 01:25 AM) Felix Hernandez, or being beat to the brilliant idea of moving one of your best starters to middle relief? It's just funny that they were prohibiting Felix from throwing sliders up until this season because they were afraid it would put too much strain on his elbow. 3 games into the season and he leaves a start in the 1st inning with elbow soreness. Life is a b****.

Bill Bavasi's worst nightmare has come true.

I don't know if anyone else is even watching this show on Comcast right now "Sox Talk with Two Unlikable Assclowns" but I seriously hate these people. Someone let these guys know the Sox went 11-8 against the Royals last year, I know they're not being serious but I feel that they're making me look bad.

QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 10:13 PM) now i can't watch the premiere of sox talk at 1130 , joke. It's been on for 5 minutes and I'm already sickened.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 10:17 PM) Well I would say Buehrle's era went down a tad bit.. His WHIP dropped from 1.08 to 0.577. His ERA dropped from 4.32 to 2.08.

You can buy games off of MLB.com for like $3. If you have a DVD burner on your computer, this could be a great route to go.

COMCAST WILL BE REPLAYING MARK BUEHRLE'S NO HITTER AT 11:30 TONIGHT

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:54 PM) He a f***ing beast right now. Someone has to be. Also a sleeper in todays game was gooch going 2-4. He should never have been moved out of the 2 hole. QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:54 PM) i thought the last out was gonna be way closer than it was. It's a catcher.

Well since this is technically a Post Game thread I'd just like to add that Jim Thome's line for the season looks like this: .342/.519/.842/1.361 he is f***ing great right now.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:44 PM) If anyone has comcast, they will show it again at like 1:30-2:00 am I believe. Also I believe tomorrow morning. Granted it won't be the same as actually watching it live, but at least you can still see every pitch. The Cubs game is on at 1:30AM the Sox game will be replayed tomorrow at 1:30PM.

I seriously love AJ Pierzynski's personality, there isn't a player on this team with a better sense of humor IMO.

I believe all the players in baseball are wearing them during the press conferences. Only the Nationals are wearing them during the games though as far as I've seen.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:35 PM) Mark just said it was beer. I stick by my Diet Pepsi statement.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:33 PM) I guess there will be no whining about A.J.'s pitch calling here tonight. Congrats to Mark, A.J., and the Sox' offense! Now let's get on a roll! AJ was f***ing amazing back there tonight.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:33 PM) Yeah the Beer bath was the best part, it looke dlike they were little kids out there. Anyone got any photos from tonight? It looked like Diet Pepsi.

This is probably the best played game I have ever seen by a White Sox team. Simply remarkable. Hats off to Mark, this is the best I've ever seen him throw his change, he was darting that bastard down and they couldn't get anywhere near it. Call me crazy but I think this actually makes me feel a bit more hopeful of Mark sticking around after this season.

Mark needs to watch out for the first pitch in the top of the 9th, that's the one that always gets ya.

Smallball

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 08:52 PM) Damn, just another Solo shot for Thome If Jim Thome decided to murder Darin Erstad in cold blood after today's game, I wouldn't blame him one bit. He's currently getting f***ed over worse than any other hitter in the league.

UP TO THE SECOND JIM THOME STAT LINE! .342/.519/.842/1.361 He is currently one of the best hitters in baseball.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 08:50 PM) Right now, Gooch looks like the best option on the roster. He has been for quite a while now.
