QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) Has Timo done anyting with the bat so far this season. Heck I woulds even like Gload in there at this point. He hit that BIG go ahead homer against the Twins last saturday.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 09:05 AM) Beck, back to your first post -- I believe we have control over Garland through 2006, I think he's arbitration eligible after the season. Correct. We're in great shape with our starting pitchers right now, as far as the bullpen goes as long as ozzie doesn't use 3 or 4 pitchers per inning, I'm more confident in the pen then any other part of the team.

For me it's not surprsing they're playing this well but your right for the bozo's from ESPN you'd think they'd give the sox some respect since none of them thought the sox were a good team.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) If Duncan is healthy it's over IMO Agreed. If he's not though I think almost any team in the playoffs could come out of the west.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 04:00 PM) Does anyone know if Pods is going to be back tommorow? If not I wouldnt mind putting Willie at 2B and Ozuna at LF and have those 2 lead off for us... Ozzie said he's hopeful that Scott will be back in the lineup tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be back in there if not he should definitely be there when we face minny.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 03:56 PM) For the first time today I parked at that church right by 37th and Wentworth (right behind the scoreboard) and it kicked ass. I was on the highway 2 minutes after getting into my car. This is for all of you that were a bit weary of parking there, like I was. Mainly because it wasn't a sox lot. It's the same price and the easiest exit onto the ryan possible. Just an FYI. Yup, I always park there when I can it's the best place to park at the cell imo because of how quick you can get out onto the highway.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 10:26 PM) BARONS 8 Montgomery 7 W- Tracey (1-0) L-Autrey (1-1) Tracey 6 1/3 IP 3H 0R 2BB's 2K's Autery 5 1/3 IP 8H 8R 2BB 2K's Good- Everybody in the lineup picked up a hit tonight, 5 Double Plays turned, a great Defensive stop by Feilds who looks awsome at 3rd. Young hit a 2-0 change off the light tower in left feild. Darren Blakely had 3 RBI and a Towering Homer to right feild. Sean Tracey was awsome hitting 94 today on the gun and a great sinker to boot. Bobby Jenks came in and closed the door in the 9th with two punch outs and hit 98 on the last K to end the game. Bad- Dwayne Pollok was bad tonight fell behind hitters then threw batting pratice fastballs at the belt was hit awfuly hard his awful line tonight 2/3 inning pitched 7 Runs 6 earned Notes- other than the 8th inning which saw Montgomery go from being down 8-0 to 8-7 after only out was sicking but other than that great game. Uh Oh........another LTP??

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) I should add, I'm not saying Rolen isn't good. He's the 2nd best in the league. All you got to do is watch Beltre for a couple weeks and you'll see his the best 3rd baseman in all of baseball (defensively and offensively). He has soft hands, great range, and an absolutely CANNON. Plus he makes the short roller down the line look so easy. I didn't watch him enough in the nl to make any judgements on him defensively but that play he made on Koney yesterday was unreal, probably one of the better defensive players I've ever seen.

Congrats Tony

There's a possibility he'll be in the lineup tomorrow, if not tomorrow then I'm sure he'll be back in there Monday.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) Wow, I really, really love how this is looking in the 1st week and a half. Hopefully we can finally get over that hump tomorrow and get are 1st sweep. Obviously it's very early but it amuzes me how the sox and twins have already seperated themselves from the rest of the division.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) It was the same with the people behind me. (Where were you sitting? I was a row back from the idiot who grabed the ball in the 9th) I was in section 119, so you were a bit further down then me.

The people that were sitting in front of us came in about the top of the 4th inning, they saw about 50 minutes of a game.

I've been to both of Mark's starts at the cell and I've basically been to one game time wise. He's incredible, what a pitcher.

QUOTE(ihatethecubs @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 09:20 AM) i woke up this morning, and my dads like, wanna go to the sox game!? of course i was like hell ya! lol , if anyone sees me in my retro sox jersey with the cursive White Sox across the chest, say hello! So all your whining for nothing, huh?? I'm leaving right now to go to the cell.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 09:12 PM) I saw him pitch a game this spring and put it this way, the kid is right on the brink. He still has some command issues, but just watching him pitch I was left thinking I was seeing one of the best arms of the past 10 years (no joke). The mix between his fastball and curve is just filthy. Assuming he stays healthy and can throw strikes, he's going to be phenomenal. I saw him pitch that game against the cubs.....man, he was damn impressive.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) It's still there, look it up. Doesn't anyone still hold THIS ritual sacred in the Church of Baseball? Fine, make me do work :headshake

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) My thoughts are that noone in the game thread should reference the fact that he has a perfect game going.... Who did that?? QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) Or the chat... ....and that?? DJ????

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) With their elite prospects (weeks, Fielder, Rogers, and Cappellan) look out. THis team has long term success as a real possibility. THis wittles the free agetn pitcher market down to guys like Burnett, Morris and Millwood now that Cris Carpetner has also resigned Kind of nice to have all 5 of our guys signed through next year plus having some 21 year old down at Charlotte who seems to be decent

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 05:53 PM) You have got to be f***ing kidding me. Perez in the leadoff spot, after a night in which Harris is on base three times, with two hits and a walk? TIMO f***ING PEREZ IN THE LEADOFF SPOT?!?!?!?!?!?! :puke :puke :puke Remeber last time you complained about Timo's position in the order?

QUOTE(Hall of Famer @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) Why are pitchers all of the sudden extending their contracts for less than market-value, especially after this offseason? He definitely signed for under what his market value is but I think he'll be ok making 38 mill over 4 years, I think he'll be able to feed his children(if he has any)

Carl's in the lineup tonight: lf Perez 2b Iguchi dh Everett 1b Konerko rf Dye cf Rowand c Pierzynski 3b Crede ss Uribe

I agree, this is a good offense and so far some of the better offensive players on the team have struggled. Juan looked good last night, Joe's looked good since the start of the Twins series, Pauly's coming out of his minny and funk and so is Aaron. Once some of our main guys start getting it going then this offense is going to be very dangerous imo.
