QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) The Twins are significantly better, in my opinion. The additions of Castillo and Liriano to the roster, as well as getting rid of the free-swinging Jones will help their consistency. Getting back Torrii as well.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) From top to bottom, this division is MUCH tougher then it was last year. KC is not a team that you can kick the s*** out of, they will battle you. Detroit is much improved. Cleveland may have regressed slightly, but they will battle you as well. Oh, and by the way, there's this team from Minnesota that will kick and claw their way through the division as well. Because of the imbalanced schedule, this division could EASILY see a 90 game division winner - because they are going to beat up on each other more then what happened last year. Eh, I see what you're saying but I highly doubt the division winner wins 90 games. I do agree though about Minny, that team will be our toughest competition, no doubt in my mind.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) Well then Mark needs to find something better to do during the day. Fair enough, you got me there.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) I think if anything, if Cintron's going to fight his way into a starting spot here, it would have to be at 2B, if we don't pick up Iguchi's option next season (although I can't see that happening right now). Gooch is going to be here next year, I don't think there is any doubt about that. And jeckle..why not? Because this team is based on pitching and defense, you don't throw a guy out there who's never played there before. Anderson right now can at least catch the ball and until he figures it out, that's just fine. Throwing Cintron out there would be one of the dumbest things a team ever did.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) What would happen if MB actually got injured doing a tarp slide though? On the one hand I can see why KW and management would do this, they want to protect their investment etc., but then again it's pretty stupid. It's a giant slip n slide though. For all we know Mark has one at home and does this every day.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 09:57 PM) And that's why Juan is the starter, full stop. Cintron's a perfect utility guy to have though. Yup, I like Alex a lot. Just want to make it clear that there is a reason why Juan is our guy, he's one of the best defensive ss's there is.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) I actually like our lineup with Cintron in it.... it seems to me we are dangerous everywhere in the order that way besides Mack/Anderson. Uribe gives you more power but I think Cintron will produce a better avg. Also I like him as a 9 hitter. Ya well Juan's D>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Alex's.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) I understand that we're in a 3 way tie, but this is the first time we've (sorta) been in 1st place this year, right? Minus after opening day.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 09:33 PM) There, I took something away from that play.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 09:02 PM) Funny thing was he got Molina by 15 steps. I don't know what the hell he was doing comming up the line but in my baseball days dogging it to first would have been a fine. I think the guy that was playing the piano on his back fell off and he stopped to let him back on. Bengie wasn't dogging it, he's the slowest guy in baseball by far. Paul would absolutely blow him out in a race.

Juan's a bit banged up, so Alex gives us the luxury of letting Juan rest up until he's 100 percent.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) Congrats I think................Detroit Not yet, hopefully it won't be them.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) NBA.com says we haven't clicnhed yet We have.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 08:10 PM) I hope so. I thought before the season, something along the lines of .250/.315/.430 for BA, which I still think he can do. But, more importantly, I expected good defense, which he's given us, other than the one bad read against Detroit. There's really no question that he's the best defensive outfielder on the Sox... Completely agree.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Whatever, it's a non-story. That probably will be made into a story. No big deal though.

QUOTE(RX Bandits @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) thanks a bunch No prob.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) .125/.222/.125 .129/.206/.194 I know Anderson is struggling right now, but Mackowiak isn't doing a whole lot better. If Podsednik is and has been allowed to work/play through his slump, the same should probably go for BA. I can understand sitting Anderson against righties with hard breaking stuff (ie Burnett), but against Josh Towers? Come on, GMAB. Different situations with Pods and Brian. I agree that he needs to play but ozzie might have wanted to give him a few days off just to clear his head. I'd bet he plays the whole KC series.

Go to whitesox.com and about half way down you'll see something that says "iguchi's throw."

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) How the hell do the bulls finish last in their division and still walk into the playoffs? The fantastic conference that is the east.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 07:39 PM) The Bigger concerns are not can we establish a closer or can Pods hit and run, but how much better did Cleveland and Detroit get. No running and building a lead this season. The Central will be tough and we're going to have to start winning on the coasts. Cleveland got worse, Detroit will be tucked away in 4th in about 2 weeks.

Ridiculous. I wonder if there is a clause in his contract that says he can't buy a slip n slide.

:headbang :headbang :headbang

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 02:36 PM) I can't remember the last time we won due to a game being called when it was official. I'm still annoyed we lost that game at Wrigley a few years ago. I was there.

Ugh, I want the banks' not the huxtables

I declare this rain delay theatre solid.
