This is a huge start for Mr. Floyd. He's proven that he owns Detroit but we need to see him pitch well against some other teams as well. Keep it up, Gavin.

Sox SIU basketball Dolphins Bulls And I'm going to put the Blackhawks here as I'm trying to follow them more but I really don't think I can claim to be that big of a fan yet.

Might interest some IU fans as well as SIU fans: http://ilprepbullseye.com/page5.html Brian, this article stole your info, ha.

It'd be so reassuring to have Danks throw 2 good games in a row.

A lot. This kid is just talented as all hell, he's going to go through some tough stretches this year though. He's going to be an all star down the road imo.

Nice sequence there by Verlander.

That was scurry.

Swisher is cool.

Obviously it's only 23 ab's but Ankiel is slugging .826 right now, that's a decent start.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) I have to disagree with this. We've already won the series, so if Ozzie wants to rest a starter or two, tonight is the night to do it. The fact that it's on national TV shouldn't matter. I wouldn't have a problem with Ozzie playing our usual lineup, but I definitely don't want to see Bobby or Linebrink out there tonight. Those guys need a day off. I disagree with this line of thinking. Just cause we've won the series doesn't make todays game any less important than tomorrows.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) So explain why Toby "I Can't Hit for Crap" Hall was in the lineup against a division rival yesterday. It's a long season and you want to give your players (especially aging, injury-prone veterans) a day off on occasion. Does JD need a day off? No. But it'd be nice to give him a break, since we've already won the series. It'd also be nice to work some of our over-crowded outfield into the lineup. Catching is a lot different than rf.

Danks and Gavin. I expect the offense and bullpen to be very good, I'm not sure about those two(plus JC) though. If those two are some what reliable, this is going to be a fun season.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 09:45 AM) However, he's already had a ton of opportunities, and he's been right where he's been needed each and everytime. He's easily as good a CF'er as the overrated Aaron Rowand out there. I'd be careful with that comparison.

People really need to stop worrying about Jenks' ability. Yes, he's obviously an injury concern but if he's pitching, he's one of the best closers in baseball. The guy just flat out gets it done whether he's throwing 92 or 100.

QUOTE(Brian @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) He's not as great as Derrick Rose, but the Chicago media should start giving Collins some love. Pssh, the best Chicago pg out of them all will be at SIU next season.

Stay away from CLo.

I really, really, really want Memphis to win.

If Floyd and Danks can continue to give us QS(huge if), this team is going to be quality.

Kevin Dillard wins "Mr. basketball" in Illinois. Pretty sweet.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 05:49 PM) BMac better than Javy, you crazy son, and I told you so You sure did, couldn't be happier to be wrong. Admitting you lost to Wite, that one hurts.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 05:02 PM) Is anyone gonna post who was against this trade at the onset? I remember it being pretty darn unpopular here. I knew little about Danks at the onset, but I remember being a little tired of Brandon's seeming lack of moxie. I was very against it, even saying that I thought BMac was going to be much better than Javy last season. As has been said, get back to me in 5 years but I really hope I'm wrong on the deal, hopefully Danks and Masset continue to pitch well.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 04:34 PM) Broadway? Anderson.

The Swisher one is awesome, don't care what anyone says.
