Aquino with 2 scoreless innings for the Sox. No extra base hits by either team yet. Lots of walks and K's.

QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) So uh, is it a tendon or a ligament? I wonder what the downtime is gonna be like. Is it something where he'll be back in a couple months or is that pretty much it for his season? Len Kasper just said during the game that surgery will probably keep him out for the year.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Ya he looks like dye running out there Umm spring training. He's at least 2 steps faster than Dye. He's already had a triple and at least one if not more stolen base(s) this spring. He didn't exactly have to bust his ass on any of the balls the Cubs hit. He looked to have decent speed scoring on the wild pitch.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 07:59 PM) Jones looking at lot like a corner OF playing CF tonight. What exactly did he do or not do for you to make that assessment ? Yes he's older and not as fast as some guys any more, but he made the plays he should and gunned out a guy at the plate. There was nothing he should have caught, nothing in the gaps , nothing directly over his head.

Sox down 2-1 in the 3rd. Torres with the start for the Sox. Theriot led off the 1st with a bunt single that Teahan threw away. A walk and a few bloop hits got the Cubs 2 runs. Torres broke 2 bats , one on an out and another on a blooper. Jones gunned out Kevin Millar at the plate to end the inning. Sox got their run with walks by Jones, Kotsay and Flowers with K's of Teahan, De Aza and Nix with a wild pitch scoring Jones during Nix AB. I couldn't help but think Barry Bonds would've homered on each of the called 3rd strikes to Teahan , De Aza and Nix, all fastballs either right there or on the inner half of the plate. Cubs with a few more hits with 2 outs to lead 3-1 in Torres last inning.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 09:36 AM) Shame, because THAT is the lineup I'd want to see tonight. Who do we have then? Paulie, Pierre, Jones, Kotsay, Teahen. Remind me who's pitching tonight? Lucas Harrell starting.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) Very Kewl, the link I have does not give prognosis yet. See below: http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...-off-field.html Someone commented after the article that he thinks he blew out his right knee . Said he heard it pop. I know its irresponsible to say that prematurely so TIFWIW.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 04:42 PM) thats the one They have the story of his cancer and injury on youtube.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) Remember that guy from San Francisco, who ended up having his arm amputated. Hameker I think? Dave Dravecky had cancer cut out of his pitching shoulder then pitched again 10 months later but in his 2nd start back pitching to Tim Raines his arm just snapped.

Yesterdays recap from the Sox Press pass: The White Sox were held to six hits yesterday and suffered a 5-4 loss to Seattle at The Ballpark at Camelback Ranch … Paul Konerko and Alex Rios each hit solo home runs in the loss, their fi rst of the spring … Jared Mitchell went 2-2 with a triple and a RBI … Gavin Floyd hurled 2.0 scoreless IP with three strikeouts … J.J. Putz, Matt Long and Randy Williams each tossed 1.0 scoreless IP. ? The White Sox and Dodgers played to a 3-3 tie in a B-Game Monday in Glendale … Jared Mitchell went 2-3 with a double and two stolen bases … Justin Greene also went 2-3 with a double and a stolen base … Matt Thornton tossed 1.0 scoreless IP and Lucas Harrell induced three GIDP in 3.0 scoreless IP.

Rios homered to center field and hit a sharp single against Seattle yesterday.

In the B game yesterday Mitchell went 2/3 with a double and 2 stolen bases then in the other game against Seattle added an RBI triple in the ninth.

I inspired 2 more barbs . Just saying he's a valuable piece to the team. Certainly a good bench player. He played well last year. It got him a new contract and a spot on the team. How many AB's he gets is still not clear.

Great job JPN ! Something I noticed though. Sergios Santos is out of options so if he doesn't make the 25 man roster he won't end up in the Sox minors will he ? With his arm someone will pick him up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 06:53 AM) If you're going to use it for situational match-ups, then you should have better situational hitters than Kotsay/Jones. Jones isn't particularly strong vs LHP, and Kotsay is nothing special against RHP. Not a great fan of the rotating DH situation but I have to remind myself while reading the barbs directed towards Kotsay that is he a professional hitter . He knows what he's doing up there. His contribution last year would have been invaluable had the Sox been in the race last year.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 07:14 AM) I think you can extract a few items from what little the sox have demonstrated, not the least of which is the value of our newfound team speed (not just talking about stolen bases) I'm not one of those people who thinks ST is meaningless. Just about every team has a few open spots on the 25 man roster and ST can make or break who makes a team. Positive things happening sure beats the hell out of negative things .

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws Yesterday was a good day for White Sox fans looking for signs of life in the Sox offense. Q with 2 home runs against the Cubs in a 15-3 romp. Nix 3-3 with a HR and 2 opposite field hits. In the other game against the Dodgers the Sox hit no HR's but still scored 8 runs with Jared Mitchell having a pair of RBI doubles. Both games the Sox played errorless ball. Baseball's back. 2 wins . Whooping the Cubs, stolen bases, power, prospects doing good, good D and reliable pitching. For one day in spring it's all good .
