Roy or Pearl deserved it imo. Jay Wright who won a few coaching awards did not.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Mitre looked great today Mitre has a really good sinker when he's on, I'm not sure if he'll ever harnass it but who knows, it definitely wouldn't shock me.

Need a win today and a Tigers loss to get back into first, I hate this 2nd place thing.

I had one of the worst hecklers of all time sitting by me yesterday so I assume he had to be drunk. Some of the things he said were: "Freddy, I've seen better pitching in Kane County." And my favorite: "hey ump, I've seen better calls on my cell phone."

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:02 PM) Most of you are just pissed that hes the greatest player to ever play the game and use that as a scapegoat to make yourself feel better about it. Well, there is a reason people don't like him. He's obviously the best player I've ever seen but he's an ass and a cheater. I'd have no problem with Bonds if he wasn't a roided up, arrogant freak.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:08 PM) Freddy was hitting 91 on the ballpark gun Ha, good. I wasn't the only one seeing that.

I got one as well. Got there right at 11, waited in the huge ass f***in line at gate 5, cut a few people on the way because I was nervous they'd be gone.

Ha, you knew this would happen.

Time for win number 2. Go JC

Ok, I could not have been the only one at the game that saw him hit 91 a few times. Like I said though, I do not look at the gun that much so it might have only been a couple of times but I swear I saw him hit 91 a few times.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 04:29 PM) What is the point of these posts? Just curious. If Contreras is only throwing in the high 80's tomorrow, would you be concerned about him? A horrible outing is one thing, losing 4 MPH of velocity is another. I wouldn't be concerned at all by Freddy's outing today if he was throwing 91-93 MPH. The point is the same for when people freak out over one outing. First off at the park he did hit 91 a few times on the gun and I don't watch the gun that much so I'm not sure what he was consistantly hitting. Maybe the gun was fast at the park or maybe it was slow on the tv gun. To be honest, I'm almost 100 percent sure there was a thread exactly like this about Freddy last year where people were concerned about his velocity after one outing. Give the guy a few starts and if he's consistantly at 88 mph then everyone can start panicking, I'll bet that isn't the case though.

Freddy is absolutely awful just like the rest of the team.

For my last post on this sub forum, I would just like to say: I won the soxtalk yahoo league.

Thanks to both teams for winning me some money.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) I haven't had this game on for a second yet. Opening Day games > this NCAA Championship matchup Not when you have money galore on this game.

Joakim Noah has set the record for blocks in a finals game in the first half.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) Yes, they have different pictures on different pictures(parade, WS trophy, The Cell) and they dont look like the Ticketmaster tickets. The tickets are enough to become a season ticket holder this year. They're seriously awesome though.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) 530, row 8. I'll give ya a call. I'm in 529. I'll be there at about 11 as well, Brian/Steve, one of you guys give me a call when you get there.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) Nope, however the PR department with the white Sox has been working on making the upper deck experience as good. Ie having the same food items and trying to replicate the experience as much as possible. Boyer says this a lot when people ask him this exact question at the Sox Fest seminars. I also remember him saying they were going to try and create some things that are unique to the upper deck. Actually, Jason is wrong I believe. With a season ticket you can go down to the lower level just not with a regular UD ticket.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 07:41 PM) A fan just threw a syringe at Barry Bonds.

QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 07:57 AM) I'll never forget that grand slam by valentine. I don't.

I agree with the whole article. Well done piece.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 03:25 PM) Anyone else notice that Marte came in and gave up the go-ahead hit today? I'm shocked.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) And gets an infield single to third in his second AB (it was tough play for Rolen, but he had it and made a horrible throw to first. Homefield advantage called it a hit though ) Does Rollins have a hit?

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 07:43 PM) And when Abe said 'Lock him up and throw away the key", I don't think it was due to the fact that Liriano is an up-and-coming pitcher on the Twins. Nice angle, but I ain't buying that for a minute. IMO dude is just another hardcore conservative. I hope that I'm wrong, but I seriously doubt it.
