QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) Actually, I think it's two consecutive outings, and what's wrong with being happy that he's starting to show improvement? Nothing. I think everyone realizes he's got a long way to go but it is nice to see some improvement from him. I mean there were people crucifying him after his first outing here, so there is nothing wrong with being happy with improvement.

So are we ready to put Neal and Bobby in middle relief with Boone setting up Thornton to close it out?

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 03:59 PM) Only one and it was due to a ball that Anderson couldn't catch due to the sun being in his eyes. And he won't give up another run until 2010, when Jerry Owens misplays a ball in left.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) What are the best places to go to in or around the city? It seems like we need to visit an fine establishment now that we are 18. What did u guys do once you turned 18? This is what I did when I turned 18: Watch Freddy Garcia throw a one hitter and lose the game.

Boo, I think he's ready for the nba.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) 3-3 tie. Jim Thome has hit 2 homers again -- the first one was a solo shot on the first pitch and the second homer was a wind-blown shot on a full count. Thome has all 3 RBI's. Jebus. How does Freddy look?

Game recap anyone?

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) Yep, Heads paid $49 for the room for the night, and $6,950 for buying "Forrest Hump" on the adult channel 556 times.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 12:19 AM) Did you see any of our starters pitch last spring training? They were pathetic. Does anyone remember the Brewers games last year right before opening day? Yikes.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) career mode is where this game is at. I simmed 30 years once, started at W. Illinois and finished at IU, a 3 time champion. You're still a horrendous coach though.

QUOTE(Timoperezrulez @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 06:10 PM) Does anyone know if the gates will be opening at a special time? or just the usual hour and a half before game time. Usually for the big games they'll open 'em 2 hours early.

QUOTE(samclemens @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 06:59 PM) twinks suck worse this year than last! Uh....Please explain, I'd love to hear this.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) there is no anti-baj fan club there is just the people who dont overate him just because he posted on soxtalk. LOL, yep, people only like the guy because he has posted a few times on soxtalk. :rolly

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 09:35 AM) It's amazing to think that we were in first place from start to finish last season. I'm pretty that there wasn't a single day where we weren't at least tied for first. You're correct. Pretty insane.

Awesome, as usual.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 09:31 AM) Could you imagine how long that thread's going to be, especially since we have the next day off? That thread might be even too negative for me. Haha, well now that I said that, hopefully we avoid opening day 04 all over again.

LOL, shouldn't this whole article be in green? My god.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 09:29 AM) People are already benching Gooch and it's not even Opening Day yet. Eh, that's just Jason, his predictions never come true anyways.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 08:58 AM) we should rename this board "worrytalk". We have a good team, everyone take a deep breath. Its gonna be ok. It doesn't work that way around here. Just imagine if our bullpen blows a lead opening night.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) Here are the rules: One person posts two choices. The next person answers which he/she would choose. After he/she has answered, he/she posts his own "this or that" for someone else to answer. No restrictions on subject matter (probly better if we don't even make it sox related). So without further adieu: Lucky charms or fruity pebbles? Fruity Pebbles. Coke or Pepsi?

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) Well, that sucks. I have him on my fantasy team. Well hopefully I'm wrong for your sake.

QUOTE(SuperSteve @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 11:10 PM) Hudson, Smoltz, Sosa, Thomson (assuming not dealt), & Ramierez. They have a solid core, I'd take the Mets over them, but the Mets do that every year. Renteria could have a turn around, Giles, Jones, Jones, Larouche, Francouer, McCann was good in playoffs. They're the Braves too. Leo Mazzone is gone though, if they get bullpen and stay healthy, they'll be fine. I fully expect Francouer to suck this year and suck badly.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 11:07 PM) Who would you take out of that group? All the nl teams. Atlanta would probably be the team though cause as you noted, they have serious bullpen issues and now no Leo. The NL is really awful this year.
