QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) Remember though, a lot of teams have struggled early and went on to have fantastic clubs. The year the Angels won the series they were absolutely brutal the first month. Most of those Oakland clubs the past few years would start off slow and then get on this huge runs late in the season. Minnesota has done the same the past couple years if I recall (getting to the break around .500 and then just pulling away after that). Were 2-1, over .500 and frankly I can't complain. If Contreras pitches even close to the way he did today and Freddy and Mark are themselves I'd already be feeling light years better about this team. I'm already confident in JG to give the club 14 wins or so and a 4.6 ERA out of the 5 spot. Now its time to see what El Duque can do. Unfortunately the freaking game is on CIU and for whatever reason Xtra innings isn't picking up the Twins feed. Yes I see what you're saying. I just think that for this club, having a good April and May is the key to our success. I'm just afraid of our traditional slump where we go 2-8. We can't have that this year. I think if we get off to a hot start, it's less likely for that to happen.

It is way to early for Ozuna. But if Crede goes for the series against Minnesota, he may wanna think about putting Ozuna in.

Let Cookie Monster eat and be happy.

Many people think April is meaningless, but I disagree. I think the first few games of the season set the tone for the rest of the season. It'll be interesting to see how to respond after a game like yesterday. Side note: After 3 games last year, we were 1-2, right now we are 2-1.

lol that is pretty good. I'm just sad we couldn't get him the win yesterday.

I'm not trying to sound down or anything guys, but I'm expecting he'll do fine the first 2 or 3 innings. But then he'll give up a big 5 spot or something and be taken out in the 5th inning.

Shingo struggled early in the season last year too. I hope he can get it together this year. It'll be harder for him since people are getting and understanding of what to expect from him.

I don't mind O'Reilly. Sure I don't agree with him sometimes, but that'll happen.

I'm not calling the Twins any names this year. I have in the past and it hasn't worked out for the Sox. So this year will be different for me, hopefully different for the Sox too.

I think the game thread is basically the chatroom during the game.

the way I look at it is that we stole a win from then yesterday, they stole a win from us today. That evens out. But I know one thing for sure, we need to do good on the road out West to have a good shot at winning this. No more 1-5 West road trips. We need to be at the .500 mark out West.
