QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 11:29 AM) Borchard is on WSCR 670 right now. These guys are trying to get the slime angle on this. They are trying to get Joe to say something negative. So far he is taking the high road. Good luck in Seattle Joe.

clocked as high as 97mph with no control maybe coop can get him under control ala Jenks. This is a low risk/high reward type move for the sox. If they can get him under control sometime this year, he has a hell of an arm.

Widge hits a line drive to short RF and the run scores. 7-6 brewers. Almanza I think is pitching. Sweeney has a nice plate presence. He works a 3-2 after going down 0-2. Then gets a good swing on a 3-2 breaking pitch and lifts a fly ball for an out.

Watch a guy trying to make the team. Gload slams his foot hard into the fence making a great catch. I hope he is okay. Tracey looks better from the stretch than he does when he goes into the windup.

Tracey looked good there. Kept the ball down for the most part. His fastball had some life on it. He needs to do more of that. I picked a good year not to go to ST. Its pretty cool down there this year.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) Kid can barely follow through with his swing, yet drives in a run. LOL. Mr. Nunez is trying to use this to make the team. Its the first ST app for Mr. Meatball. I thought I had retired him when Viz was traded.

He was released from the Rockies in 2004. Traded from the Rangers to the Cardinals last year. Who promptly released him in a month. Then the diamonbacks picked him up, but their bullpen was terrible.

Nunez keeps shaking off widger. Anytime that Widge puts down anything besides a slider, he shakes him off. Its thriller all over again. 83 mph meatballs so far.

Konerko, Dye, Thome look like they are starting to get their timing down. And to make things even better, Group 4 this year is looking good. Cintron and Mack can hit.

Cintron hits one under the glove of Fielder. 1st and 3rd Then Mack hits a triple in the gap. 5 all

Konerko bangs a hanger over the wall. 5-3 brewers

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 02:52 PM) Everything doesn't revolve around making the big league team. Players are trying to impress, move up in the system and get their shot at higher levels. I think Ozzie would rather have the kid throw some strikes and check out his stuff. He would rather have a kid get lit up and challenge someone, than do what we just witnessed . ie: Nibble like a gerbil around the strikezone, walk the bases loaded then the next guy does the same thing and a crooked number goes up.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) Is Nunez a spring training invitee or a minor league arm? I like his stuff--nice movement on his fastball and breaking pitches. Jenkins looked foolish on two in particular. He pitched for the Marlins a while back. He is a Thriller/Vizcaino clone, however they both had better stuff than Nunez. And as I am posting this, just like Thriller he lets all of the inherited runners score.

Nunez walks the next batter. He is doing his thriller impersonation. No fastballs, just so breaking crap one 3-2. Men on for the Prince.

Richard has been pulled. Vladimir Nunez in. Prompty gives up a single. The pitcher who walked score 3-2 Brewers.

Now he gives up a 2 run single to Clark. 2-2 game.

Someone cant find the strike zone. 4 walks including the pitcher so far.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 01:53 PM) Nope, no recognition of DVD's at all. Well considering that the company went out of business(so you cant call support), firmware, and reinstalling drivers didnt help. I would try and pick up an inexpensive replacement. You can get double layer DVD burners for less than $75 now.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 11:55 AM) My burner is able to still do CD burns and play CD's, but it has stopped being able to recognize DVD's. I put one into the player, and nothing happens. Some programs come back with an error telling me the disc is not a DVD. I have tried re-installing the drivers, and I have even tried re-installing a few of the DVD programs I have, but to no avail. Anybody have any ideas? Is it happening for all of the DVD's you place in that drive. Can you play a regular DVD?

Hopefully we can see Boone Logan go today against some better hitters. Have a back to back day and see how he rebounds.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 18, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) Hi. Short end of the story is this: my girlfriend and I broke up. She left me. There wasn't anything wrong with the relationship. I'd rather not go into the circumstances, but she and I were a wonderful couple. Largely, the break came out of fear of committment, and that's as far as I'd like to go with that. It broke my heart. It was a month ago. Since then, I've tried to move on with my life. Today, I went on a date with a girl and had a splendid time. Part of me, however, feels down because if it were up to me, I'd have been with my ex. I wasn't thinking that at the time -- no way! -- but now, after the date, there's a small sadness in me. A bit of regret. And, let me just say, that I'm known to understate. How long will it take for me to stop caring about her and missing her? Has anyone here ever lost a love and to some extent regretted it for the rest of their lives, or did you get over it? Everything happens for a reason. As corny as that sounds it is true. I was engaged to a girl, who was hot as hell, nice, seemed like she would be the mother of my future children. However she had this little problem, she liked boning her boss. I found out, relationship abruptly ended. I then moved on. I figured that was it, and all women are evil. A few years later I met my wife. We are having our 5 year anniversary this year. Either two things will happen, you will get back together with your girl, or you will eventually move on and meet someone else that makes your heart pitter patter. The hurt takes time to get over. Everyone has a different time table. Dating people is a good first step. The only thing I would say as you go on these dates, is to learn what you like and dont like from these girls. Do not just try to replace your girlfriend, or replace the void. Take them out and just have a good time. A broken heart sucks. Everyone eventually goes through one at some point.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) I couldn't agree more. I look at St. Patrick's day as an opportunity for people (many of whom are barely Irish) to say something like, "I'm Irish...look at me...LOOK AT ME!!!!" And absolutely no offense to SSI and the like, because he's clearly very Irish and still has strong Irish roots, but most people just come off as annoying on this day to me. I'm also half Irish, BTW. I just get tired of the fake people out there (once again not aiming this at the people in this thread). I am about to go out to the mess of bars on St. Pattys day. I agree with all of the people on how this day is a mess. Growing up on the South Side and dealing with the Western Ave bars where everyone claims to be Irish. No you are American of Irish heritage. Too many amature's tonight. The SS parade is another example, people so drunk and crazy they can barely walk. the SS parade used to be a family parade, but now its too many jagoffs getting plastered spouting off how even though their last name is Kowalski that they are really 100% irish. I sat outside of a bakery at 105th and Western and there were a series of drunk kids behind me rocking a port a potty telling each other how irish they were. I love this time because I get to revel in the music and the culture of Ireland. I love listening to the jigs and reels, even the bagpipes and to the bands on St. Pattys day. I will drink my guinness tonight and enjoy it. The drunks and morons can stay at home. Off to the Kerry Piper in Willowbrook to watch the Larkin Brothers. The place will always have a special meaning to me as its the place I met my wife, oddly enough watching the larkin brothers.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) Of course there should be concern with Jenks. We heard two straight spring trainings that Koch's velocity would come over the course of the month. Jenks's mechanics looked terrible the last two times I saw him pitch. People act like he has a track record of 10 years worth of success in the majors. He's as much of a question mark as anyone else on the big league team. We don't have any other closing options right now either. fathom his control I might question, but he has been throwing triple digits since high school. He was throwing at the most 95 last ST also.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) God. This is like having 20 damaso martes! The marte curse is upon us. Is the 3 spot all from Montero

Another dog s*** minor league FA pitcher at the end of a game to snatch a loss from the jaws of victory.
