QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) I wouldn't mind Coop and Walker taking Poreda and Viciedo aside and just have AP throw live sliders to him for an hour. It might help both of them. An hours worth of sliders from your best pitching prospect would not be a good thing. That could be over 100 breaking balls in a row .

Crede 3-3 today with a double and 2 run HR . Still hitting .185 so far. Swisher 3-4 all singles but 3 rbi now hitting .222 . Maier just crushes one way out to right 11-5 Royals.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 02:50 PM) He plays good defense at 3 positions, thats why he has a good chance to make the team. I think we're seeing Nix at SS because Lillibridge isn't hitting. Can't afford more dead wood on the bench when all 3 of your CF candidates and maybe backup catcher aren't recognized as hitters either.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 02:47 PM) Egbert has a legitimate chance to make the team. So far so good , everyone still has plenty of time to impress or screw up.

Restovich leading off with Viciedo on deck.

Egbert with 1-2-3 inning 2 GO's and a K got ahead of all 3 hitters. That might be his 10th inning this spring with no ER.

A lot of Soxtalkers keep insisting that Lillibridge will be a backup on the 25 man roster because of speed and his D but I don't see it happening unless he gets more wood on the ball.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 02:19 PM) since when is corky miller able to hit? Corky'ed bat ?

I really loved that inning. Fields down 0-2 worked a walk. Then Restovich opposite field double , then Allen with the triple , Getz with the GO rbi and the Miller HR. Love getting to see the new guys perform well even if most of them end up back in the minors. We hardly see any triples during the season and not even enough doubles.

Never underestimate the motivational power of one last big payday.

Funny story about what happened when Griffey came to bat in the 1st inning of the exhibtion game against the Mariners and further down the page a heart warming salute to the US Marines who attended a recent Sox/Dodger game. There are pictures included and a link to a letter of thanks from 2 of the Marines thanking Barry Zito who paid for the trip . http://whitesoxpride.mlblogs.com/

Final 15-5 Sox , Brandon Allen also homered, Beckham 0-4

Kroeger just homered. solo .

Beckham finally K's on a called 3rd strike. 1st time all spring if I'm not mistaken.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 02:33 PM) Branyan must hate the Blackhawks.

Russell Branyan homers and B'Hawks lose 4-2.

MacDougal perfect inning .

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 02:06 PM) How many(if ANY) extra base hits has Owens had this spring? I cannot think of one Me neither .

4-1 Islanders, Dye pops out. 3 outs

Q GO RBI 10-0

Owens FC as 1st baseman's throw to 2nd for a force is dropped. AJ chops to 3rd both runners advance. 2nd n 3rd 1 out.

Beckham HBP

Feeling good about the way Hosie pitched.
