QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) The only 2 cash lots will be C and G. Are you driving...??? YAS, if you're driving I personally recommend parking at the church. That's where I park for every game I go to. You get out of there so quick after the game's it's unbelievable.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) You all have a cold one for me. I really wish I could be there... sometimes living this far away sucks. That's no f***in excuse get your ass to park.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 09:12 AM) wow, you really are a huge fan of Uribe's defense. Vizquel, I think, is still the premier fielding SS in the game. he's turned some spectacular double plays with Deivi Cruz this year, really a treat to watch. He has there's no doubt. IMO he's no longer a premier defender because his range has been limited some(understandable) but he's still very solid, he won't make a ton of errors and if the ball is in his range he will make the play.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 08:01 AM) They did a release.. They will do another one around noon and a final one around 5:45. Thanks Steff, that's what I kind of figured. Anyways I already bought tickets and I'm in section 159 which is great by me, I personally love that view.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 09:07 AM) Whoa. when have you ever seen Uribe get to anything that should not have been playable? A lot. Juan has and has always had tremendous range, once again this is jmo but I think very highly of Juan's defensive capabilities.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 09:03 AM) So essentially I'm gonna ask this question; Do you prefer a guy with a great range but a bad arm in say Willie Harris, or a guy with a great arm but no so good range in Royce Clayton. On Clayton, he should of stayed in Colorado if he could, Alex Cintron is just about going to take his everyday spot. How about a guy with great range and a great arm like Uribe??? I'm just a huge fan of Uribe's defense and princesdye at this time there is no question Juan is a better defender then Vizquel imo.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 08:52 AM) At the moment it doesn't appear the Pirates are in any hurry to dump players. That could change, but McClendon is under a lot of pressure and so is Littlefield. The fans and media there are tired of the constant losing, and tired of dumping guys every July. The other issue is, they love Mackowiak, he's been there a long time and does a lot of PR stuff for the franchise. Not to mention something has clicked for him at the plate this year. It will not be easy to pry him away, my guess is quite a number of teams would be interested in Mackowiak and other Pirate players. IMO Felix Diaz would net the Sox next to nothing in a trade. Chris Young might have some value but my impression is the Pirates want someone closer to ML ready, and Young is still rather raw and striking out in bunches. Borchard as you know appears to have very little value, seeing as this is his last option year. You also correctly identify the Pirates as having a glut of middle IF types, so as you suggest it's doubtful they will want to add anyone there. Unless the Pirates are hot for some lower level young pitching, I'm struggling with seeing a trade match up. Then again, stranger things have happened. But I do like Grabow, the lefthander, and I definitely like Mackowiak. Both IMO would be excellent fits here. The Sox can't go on indefinitely with no backup 1B. I know you weren't suggesting that Mclendon should be on the hot seat but I personally think he does a fantastic job for what he's given but that's jmo.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 04:17 AM) I wouldn't get my hopes up. He killed the ball in Single A for the Tigers as well. Then they moved him up to AA and he sucked... http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/leo_daigle.shtml But the Tribune had a blurb earlier in the week about Daigle... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines I know Randar keeps on saying that Rogo will be promoted to Charlotte once the first half of the season ends for Birmingham and once Rogo is promoted to Charlotte Daigle will be promoted to Bham.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 08:46 AM) that would be awesome, id love to have him back but where to put him How about the bullpen? Anyways this is obviously a moot point, Keith isn't going to be traded.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Correct me if I am wrong.. but Royce rarely moved. Everything within arms shot he got to.. but he was a statue out there was he not..? That's what I recall as well.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 07:51 AM) Hopefully it's just a little hot streak that they are going on, and can get off of soon. It is, every team gets on a little hot streak during the season, I mean look at Buddy Bell's Royals. Anyways, Cleveland is nothing more then an average team.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 07:30 AM) http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-doug17.html I know this is an article about Kelly and I agree that's the attitude Kelly should've had but look at the blurb about Frank. Good stuff.

Ya, it's obvious Pauly was asked about the miscues that Royce made and Pauly was defending Royce's defense by saying he's the best defensive shortstop he's played with, I'm sure of it that he was talking about defense and not offense. That's pauly's opinion, I personally disagree cause I do think Juan is a better defensive shortstop because though Royce makes every play at him he doesn't have tremendous range but that's jmo.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:33 PM) use whitesox.com then I did. Whitesox.com's tickets are through ticketmaster.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) Not the 48/13 K/BB ratio though. :puke

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) He was only looking for 2 ticket you might have been looking for more? I was looking for 2 as well. I guess ticketmaster just doesn't like

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) don't know what you guys are talking about. i just did a search for 2. i got row 10 on the 3rd base line. Hopefully i'll bethere tommorow. You gotta be crapping me, yesterday when I was looking for tickets almost nothing was available.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) It depends on what time I get out of work and what traffic is like tomorrow. I could get there at about 6:45 like I did on Monday or I could get there at 5:30 like I did on Opening Day and a couple other games this year. I was a damn good pitcher freshman year until I blew out my arm. 2 seamer, 4 seamer, change, sidarm slider, overhand sweeping curve and my 3/4 slurve. Not to mention throwing at 4 different arm angles. You can see why my arm couldn't take the load. I started pitching a bit on the side this year(senior year in HS) but i couldn't throw more then 20 pitches before my arm started to act up. Ya, that's a pretty ridiculous work load for your arm, I can definitely see what your arm would break down.

Cool, hope you make it man. Snb I see you reading, you going to be there?

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) jeez yesterday hawk said the attendence was only 23,000. It went up that much in 1 day. I'm not sure but when I was looking for tickets there wasn't to much left. The cell is going to be pretty packed.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) If I some how make it to the cell early tomorrow I'll throw you my slurve. You will cry, I gaurantee it. What time you think you're going to get there?? Now you got to be at the tailgate, I feel like I've been challenged now.

As of right now it's Brian Roberts. A leadoff man with the 2nd best ba in the al I believe(not 100 percent on that) extremely high obp, great speed probably around 3rd or 4th in baseball in sb's.

Alright sounds good. I'll probably get to the park around 5:15 so I'll stop by then, I'm going to bring my glove as well just to show you guys up

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) Wasn't this for 2000, or 2001?(Gagne for Howry) I believe it might have even been later then that, 02 maybe. I'm really not sure though.
