Why the heck would he try to barehand that?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 12:52 PM) Channel? WGN.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) But who in God's name would we be starting today at leadoff? Anderson against a RHP? Ramirez, when he's struggling mightily? Fields? 95% of the time, Fields would be 2/2 right now... There's no good option til Getz returns. But honestly, anyone is better than Brent

BOO YA

Um ya, I'd rather Fields stay the way he is right now.

Brandon Inge just makes some ridiculous plays.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 11:52 AM) I think Owens gets better reads than he is given credit for. During his time in 2007, he improved noticeably during the season in that regard. Owens is a much better OF imo. I thought he did just fine playing cf when he was around in 07(minus the girly arm).

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 08:06 PM) I read it...thought about it...and thought..."eh, why bother any more..." lol, honestly, that's exactly what I thought. I wonder if Ozzie actually believes what he says sometimes.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) Is this official news? Why am I not seeing it anywhere? Hawk mentioned it during the pregame/rain delay today so I'm sure it's legit.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 12:44 PM) It Getz returns and struggles how long will it take for boos to begin though? He's a freakin rookie so he probably wont be booed at all this season. The Wise-Getz comparison just makes no sense whatsoever.

Chris Getz=Rookie, Dewayne Wise=not so much. There ya go, there's your reasoning. That wasn't so hard.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 11:55 AM) Comic relief in the outfield, and ulcers for most ChiSox fans. Maybe we can put a helmet on him while he's playing center.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) I don't think anyone has tried to claim that Owens or Wise are better than Pods. It's very much the opposite. I have and I'll stick to that. If we were talking about LF it'd be a different story, but we're talking about cf and I'd rather have Wise or Owens at this point, true story.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 12:14 PM) Ozzie was quoted as KW told him he was calling up Owens "for a few days". Maybe they think Pods will be ready in a few days as he hasn't played in couple of weeks. I can't see how anyone thinks Pods, when he's not hurt, isn't better than Owens. Pods in CF is a scary thought, but you can say that about several White Sox when they are out on the field. I do know Ozzie would sub defensively for Pods and he probably wouldn't for Owens, so BA might get on the field late in some games he normally would be riding pine in. Hopefully though, its all moot, and BA starts scorching the ball. I'm sorry but right away I just think of Mackowiak from 06 with this move, you know, minus the decent bat. Pods is an upgrade over Owens offensively but a huge down grade defensively(not that Owens is anything special). And as for Wise, at least he can bring some power which Pods obviously has none of unless it's October. I just believe he's going to cost us a lot more runs in center than the amount of runs he brings us by hitting a few more singles than Owens does.

Boo. Gotta love when they postpone games when it's not even raining at the moment.

I'm going to disagree that Pods is an upgrade over Owens and Wise just for the fact that Pods in CF might be the scariest thing in the world. This move worries me as I think he's going to take some playing time away from Anderson and having Pods out in center at all is just a disaster waiting to happen.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 09:25 PM) Beckham just hit a 2 run jack. 8-2 Barons Heh, he's good.

BOO YA

Gordon got f***in hammered, jesus.

This is the best thing I can remember ESPN doing in a long, long time. It's pretty awesome.

Getz 2b Beckham ss CG lf Thome dh Dye rf PK 1b AJ c Alexei cf Fields 3b There, problem solved.

I was at the game in 06. It was pouring, freezing and I remember getting calls from various people saying there were tornado warnings all around the area. I was seriously probably about 1 of 4 people that stayed there for the whole game(got sick as hell the next day). That might have been a little different since it was opening night on ESPN but I'd say it'll be very hard to rain out opening day.

Yahoo is working now, btw.

LSU and Butler are the first game on Thursday. Nice game to tip off the best 4 days of the year.

Is anyone else having a problem trying to make their picks on yahoo right now or is that just my computer?
