There it is. Good one minute, terrible the next.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 05:41 PM) Hawk just got muted. Get used to that, we're going to be seeing A LOT of solo homeruns from the 3 hole. SMALL BALL HOOOOO!!! lol. awesome reference. This f***ing ump sucks. Hurry this thing up ump. It's ST.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 05:36 PM) We'll see, it seems like a very small segment of Sox fans have taken the negative approach prior to this season and anyone with the desire to text some dumbass poll during a Sox broadcast is more than likely pretty optimistic about this season. Yah. tahts what im saying. The ones who will text message are probably pretty optimistic. So I think it will be higher than your number of 73% for 90 wins. I think the true percentage of what we will do is a litlte bit below 73% for 90 wins.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 05:31 PM) 1.) 73% 2.) 27% 3.) 0% I think the results will be a little higher than that. I think the true percentages should be a little bit lower than that. Lower in 1 and higher in 2 that is

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 05:23 PM) His velocity is better than this time last year. But when you throw less than 90 your location is the difference between the majors and the minors. Ask Mr. Prior how his sub 90s velocity and crappy control is helping him out in Des Moines. I agree. Needs to get his location honed in quickly. But last year in the second half he didn't have either, so at least one is back. But definitely needs to get that location straight. It's terrific in a couple ABs, but leaves an AB later.

Good news is his stuff appears decent. Unfortunately, his location just isn't there yet

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) Chuck James is the protypical soft tossing lefthander who gives us fits. I suppose the difference between him and other scrubs who have shut us down in the past is Chuck has experienced minor league success. He experienced some pretty good major league success last year too. He is going to be really good.

Take your time around the bases fellas. No chances.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 01:41 PM) Now do they go with Miner or Miller? We can only hope they want to give Miller a bit more seasoning before they start his arbitration clock and instead turn to Zach Miner to fill out the rotation. At least the Sox proved they could hit him last season. Chad Durbin

QUOTE(Craig Grebeck @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 11:57 AM) I tend to think we're picked fourth because we suck. I'd rather be a good team and have people acknowledge that fact. We suck? Have we warped into May some how and are 15 games under .500?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 10:42 AM) Linkity, this mornin'. Gracias

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 08:30 AM) JR lives in the Phoenix area in the winter. They have great facilities and they have a better $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ situation in AZ. The have also won more championships training in AZ than they have training in FL. I just don't understand if they claim they really can't evaluate there, why they set themselves up to have to evaluate there. I'm sorry KW fell in love with Floyd based a lot on his performance in the ARIZONA Fall League. Now he uses Arizona as an excuse for Floyd's failing. If its because of AZ that he blew this spring, why isn't he with the team? Maybe KW is trying to show confidence in Floyd, but the fact that he's in Charlotte shows that not all of his problems are AZ-related, as much as KW would like you to believe it. I'm not seeing that anywhere in the story. Is there another article out there I missed?

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 08:58 PM) I invited the following people with their date: Jphat and Scott Podsednik SSI and Greg Walker Flash and Liriano Santo/Dorf and Zambrano Rangercal and Frank Thomas Jimbo and Julian Wright I got good news. Pods can't come so I get to take his Lisa! Score. QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 08:59 PM) Technology my friend. 40 dollars total for the seven days to have wireless internet in the room. Mrs. Fathom will be hanging out on the beach, and I'll be b****ing about Ozzie. LOL. Like I say, I hope she knows what she's getting into. I guess she would ahve to know by now though.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) The worst thing about the lack of a post season last year was having to deal with more wedding planning. Cost me a month of saying "I'm watching the game, go do it yourself". Don't worry though, we're going on a cruise for our honeymoon, and it has internet in the rooms. I'll only miss the game on the wedding night. Haha. Funny that you mention that. I was actually on a cruise when we signed El Duque in 05, and had to log on pretty much every day to get updates on AJ and Iguchi possibly coming. It's expensive though.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 08:53 PM) I assume my invitation is in the mail? I think mine got lost. Stupid postal service.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 08:49 PM) No....it's so I won't have to worry about watching the game during my wedding. You're getting married? That poor girl. Does she know what shes getting into?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 02:07 PM) And Garland? Doesn't good pitching shut down good hitting? WTF are you talking about. I wasn't saying anything about Garland or the game today. I was just saying I'll be interested in seeing Colorado's offense throughout the season. They have a lot of interesting young hitters. Why does every statement on this f***ing board have to be somebody pushing some f***ing agenda. It's ridiculous.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 01:40 PM) Garland gives up 4 runs, 3 of em earned, on 5 hits and a throwing error by P. Lopez in the first inning. JG has a scoreless 2nd. Charlotte Knights + Thome yet to see a baserunner. Matt Holliday hit a 3 run homer off of JG. I am really interested in seeing how many runs the Rockies score this year. They have a really, really good lineup.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 09:30 AM) THE WHITE SOX WERE SECOND TO LAST IN THE CACTUS LEAGUE IN 2005! SPRING TRAINING DOESN'T MEAN s***! Good luck trying to get some to get it. You would think people would have figured it out by now. Spring Training doesn't mean anything in any way, shape or form.

Not a fan of this move at all. Not a fan of Sisco at all. Wasn't a fan of the Gload for Sisco trade then, and am not now. Justin Morneau is gonna like Sisco up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 04:52 PM) Is he ok? Yes

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 04:51 PM) I was thinking the same thing as Hawk and DJ. You pull a muscle attempting to stretch a double into a triple in a blowout I'll f***ing kill you. Forget the blowout. Anytime during Spring Training.

Cmon Jim. It's Spring Training. This s*** don't matter.

QUOTE(Felix @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) It *was* a pitchout, but yea... Why would that matter?

Well, if Danks has this ump next week he is gonna get lit up like a Christmas tree
