GMU is going to be fine but they have to make their layups to win this game. They've already missed 3.

Dustin is done.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) Gene Honda I was so excited just to hear him. This game is bothering me, I win 165 extra bucks seperate from my pool winnings if Florida wins it all but I just can't cheer against GMU.

The Widge looked like he was limping after that last out, hopefully he's ok.

Mike Remlinger is still alive?

I'm very happy. Jose is the guy I wanted to keep around for a while, he's going to be one of the best pitchers in the al for at least a few more years.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) Call me crazy, but I think the 'pen has a chance to be better than last year. A lot will have to go right, of course. It has the potential to be but it also has the potential to completely blow up. There are a lot of if's in the pen but hey..the whole team was full of if's going into last season and that worked out decent I guess.

Is it Sunday yet?

I never had any problems with the park even before the rennovations but looking back on it after you see how beautiful it is now......yikes.

Seems like Tad is getting himself right just in time for opening day so that's very encouraging. Boone Logan is the best pitcher in baseball and I think Mr. Thome is ready to go. One more game that doesn't matter then it's the real thing.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) So give Pods some rest and bring him in when he is 100%. Completely agree. For the short term Pablo and Mack are fine leading off but we need a fully healthy pods to be successful and there is no reason to rush him back. Let him take his time and get to 100 percent before we put him in the lineup.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 11:58 AM) The college game has passed the NBA, by quite a bit, in my eyes. It's not even close.

I think we're all a bit worried about the bullpen. At the same time, I don't think Kenny did anything to destroy the pen. He got rid of an awful(ya, I'm calling him awful) pitcher in Damaso, I'm sorry but as long as he was here there was a risk he'd be run out there in tight situations and the guy is a mental midget, he's toast. Viz, I would have liked to keep, he's nothing special but he is decent, that being said there is a decent possibility Thornton could fill that role some what. The only way to really go about this is wait and see, it's a young pen with a lot of talent, there is a possibility the bullpen will be just fine and like others have mentioned, the 5 and 6 guys in the pen aren't going to be used much unless Ozzie has faith in them.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 02:53 AM) do know what is more annoying than someone smoking next to me? a fat person sitting next to me... i hate that so much, they stink and are always in contact with me because they can't fit in a seat designed for a normal person. i wish they would have a "no fat people" section of the park that would rule

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 08:37 AM) In terms of his game, I agree with you. However he's a top 10 and lottery lock if he goes, and that's tough to turn down. Ya, I meant in terms of his game.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:24 AM) So if he does well... Who plays him in the movie... You, actually.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) Must be related to the SOXMAN. That guy absolutely rocked.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 11:36 PM) I thought McRoberts was entering the draft? Rumors are that he might but it's not confirmed either way yet. He'd be very stupid to go imo.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:10 AM) I agree with most of this. It really won't be an amazing story until he has some success in the regular season. Don't you correct me. I still think it's a cool story though that a guy who hasn't pitched above a ball basically came out of no where to win a spot on the World Champs.

It really is an awesome story. As long as Boone continues to throw strikes, I think he's going to be just fine.

QUOTE(jenksd @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) I checked the Mariners website and they have spring training stats, but I'm guessing his stats are half Sox stats. Does anyone know how he's played in ST for them so far? One thing is for sure: He's no Matt Thornton.

So when is the NBA going to start banning headbands?

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) 0 reason? The NBA can regulate what the players wear on the court. Seems like 100% reason to me. I didn't say they can't, I said they have no reason to. Seriously, what the hell is the point?

QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 12:40 AM) Thanks. I miss heavyweight boxing ( what we grew up with at least) I hope that russian guy is the real deal, so the class can make a climb again. He's not.

Whether you think they're ugly or not, there is 0 reason to ban them. I agree with the others who said the NBA and NFL are starting to piss them off.
