QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 12:08 PM) I have no love lost for david wells. He showed what a classless act he was when he was with us. Ass. Agreed, I hope he gets rocked all year.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) Santana is not god everywhere I look its "I wish we werent facing Santana" I say bring it, and im sure our players are thinking the same.. lets f*** him up like Seattle did in the first inning.. We got to santana last year at the beginning of the season in one game and the other we beat him in we scored on a 2 run homer in the first and didn't score the rest of the game. Santana is as good as there is in baseball. That being said Mark in so slouch, this is the game where we're going to most likely have to run to score some runs, I think the sox are capable of doing so but it ain't going to be easy.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 10:34 AM) Tony Graffanino He's probably mine too, I loved graff when he was here.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) ??? Silva is their #3 starter and he's pretty good. I think he means he isn't crying about it

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 04:49 PM) I'm sorry, Rowand, that's a dumb reason. A guy with a .384 career SLG% has no business hitting fifth, in front of a guy like Rowand -- hell, he should be hitting last, right behind Uribe -- he's an awesome bunter, and Ozzie supposedly like Uribe for his speed, they could've done some hit-and-runs down there. Ugh... Prove me wrong, Timo. Keith, not saying I agree with it but that's why I think he's doing it. I do like Timo but I agree with you he should be hitting 9th in the lineup today, hopefully he just goes out and has a good game.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) Timo hitting fifth?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! And 3E8, I realize those are some good Metradome splits, but he is not a fifth hitter. I'm sorry, that's pretty inexcusible... Ozzie's doing this so everyone stays in their normal spot in the batting order so they dont get jerked around the lineup and moved all over the place.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 12:45 AM) "So much for Ozzie [Guillen's] speed ball," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of his Chicago counterpart. "They're hitting home runs already on us." Is it just me or are we still heavily reliant on the HR. I know Hawk and DJ keep talking about small ball non-stop but we have 3 wins and 2 of them were because of HR's...(and pitching but talking hitting wise). Idonno I like Pods stolen bases and no one seems to be really swinging for the fences with the exception of Dye's HR but he hit it so cant complain. Just wanted to say we still seem like a HR reliant team to me. We don't have to rely on the homerun though. Some games we're going to win games with it and when we dont we have the pieces to win games by playing small ball and that's how ozzie and kenny wanted this team built. It's a balanced offense so they can beat you in different ways.

Lebron's a great player and you really can't argue otherwise. I don't even understand why people compare him to Jordan, for me Magic is definitely the better comparison. I do disagree about him being the best overall player in the nba, imo that's still Tim Duncan.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) Sox should also be 4-0 if it wasn't for s***go the junk-baller ruining my entire f***ing day of drinking on Thursday. Or they could still be 3 and 1 if it wasn't for wickman the fatass leaving all his sinkers up on Weds, look at it how you please.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Looks awesome blacksox but you can't click on it.

Wow, did this thread go down the s***ter

It's actually pretty funny to look at the al standings. Everyone in the league is 2 and 2 except the sox and rangers(who are 1 and 3).

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:50 PM) With Ozuna getting a start in left, it looks more and more as if Timo's days with the Sox are numbered with Frank coming back. Nah, Pablo can play left and ozzie just wants to get as many righties as possible in against Johan. Ozzie and kenny like Timo to much to get rid of him, as do I

QUOTE(GreenSox @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:48 PM) Guillen did today what he should have done yesterday: let hermanson pitch the 9th. I disagree about that but it's time to move on anyways. I will say I hope the next time their is a save opportunity that Ozzie doesn't even hesitate and goes right to shingo to let shingo know that ozzie has confidence in him

I'm happy for Jose, I felt bad for him after that error in his first game. I definitely wish him the best.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) Jose Valentine just hit a pinch hit 2 run homer in the 9th to give the Dodgers an 8-7 lead against the D'backs. Good for Jose

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) If its not too bad, but bad enough so where he can't go tomorrow, why wouldn't Garland just pitch on Sunday, while Burly pitches on Saturday. That way you don't have to move Freddy up and everybody would be back on normal rest with the off day on Tuesday. Good point, I was to dumb to think of that

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) Any chance a certain someone would get a spot start on Sunday instead of Freddy on short rest? I highly doubt that, no need to bring him up for 1 start then send him back down. We don't want to jerk him around he's to special to be messing around with.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) Unfortunately it won't be at 3rd base in place of Crede... http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws How nice it must be to get your first start of the season against Johan Santana. :banghead It makes sense though. Give Scott a day off against a tough lefty, makes perfect sense to me actually.

Hopefully Jon will feel better and be ready to go, if not then atleast Mark is on normal rest but Freddy would be moved up a day.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) If he's healthy, there's no doubt in my mind he's an awesome number three... No fricken doubt the only worry with el duque is his health, if he's out there he's going to be a damn good pitcher. Man, just awesome baseball tonight, I love watching a game like that. Great pitching, got the 2 bombs, manufactured a run with scott's steal and carl's hit, absolutely beautiful game.

Joe had a good game at the plate but had nothing to show for it, give him a couple more games he looked pretty good today.

I told my friend in an im right then, that he was either going to homer or pop out.

The reason that shingo got hit yesterday was because his fastball was up and over the middle of the plate, it's not because anyone is figuring shingo out. Shingo's going to be absolutely fine.
