QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2007 -> 03:30 PM) So in this thread, Gio has been compared to Pedro Martinez and Jim Parque. You couldn't come up with 2 more opposite pitchers than those 2, and you couldn't come up with 2 worse comparisons to Gio than those 2. Wow. Not really since we were comparing size and nothing else.

Ok, big bad bobby better be ready. Or do we keep Matt in?

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 16, 2007 -> 03:16 PM) In my opinion, Gonzalez is a non-factor in the MLB. Those slight-of-build guys don't project well...yeah, yeah, Oswalt...shove it. Russell, on the other hand, is really intriguing. He may very well end up being a very pleasant surprise. Pedro is small as well. His stuff is nasty, we shall see what happen. Russell is a wild card to me. His stuff is nasty, he is a big guy and seems to learn new things quickly.

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ May 16, 2007 -> 03:06 PM) I'm a big fan of Gio as well. But why do you have a horrible suspicsion he will be traded for a bat this year. I really want Gio, Russell and Danks to be in the same rotation. I feel like their stuff is so nasty to face back to back to back.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 16, 2007 -> 03:04 PM) Probably not. But, that guy in the front office did. It's no wonder Texas fans are thinking they got fleeced. He's the total package. He's got everything you look for in a big-league pitcher and he throws the ball with his left hand. This kid is looking more and more like Buehrle Deux to me every time I see him toe the rubber--but, I still bet Buehrle wish he had that kid's yakker. Hes nasty. he was into the 90's today with his heater, two kinds of hammers and a plus change. Not much more you could ask for. If Mark teaches him a cutter, he will elevate his game to the next level.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 16, 2007 -> 03:03 PM) Certainly not this year, he's been fantastic so far. I thought 2009 or 2008 at the soonest. Pretty awesome. Now I hope Gio can produce quickly as well.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 16, 2007 -> 03:01 PM) Kid's going to be a star in this league. yup. no doubt. Did ANYONE on here think he would be this good?

Shoulda left him in, hes cruising.

Ryan having a rough day.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 16, 2007 -> 02:53 PM) I take it there is something in your DD class about not being distracted? Yeah, but talk about a racket for the city. Give you a ticket, make you pay a fine, make you pay more to do a joke of an internet class that is entirely cartoons.

Talk about muti tasking, im posting on ST, watching the sox game, taking my defensive drivers course and booking tee times for this weekend. GAS-CAINO!!!!

yank one gooch

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 16, 2007 -> 02:45 PM) So for those playing along at home... Send Danks out for the 7th with a one run lead and 84 pitches, or go to the pen? Send him out there. It would be hard to find someone more effective than he has been.

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ May 16, 2007 -> 02:41 PM) We are taking the lead for good in this Inning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first part is true!!!

Danks's hard luck will turn good eventually. Free runs, bad offense, robbed homers. It will turn around. 6 k's for Danks, basically 1 ER

wow. Rookie squeeze for the yankee fan behind the plate. QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ May 16, 2007 -> 02:36 PM) why does danks always implode the innings we give hims some runs??? He isnt imploding

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 16, 2007 -> 02:32 PM) It was very deep. Would have been gone if Cabrera didn't leap up and steal it. dammit.

Damn, we coulda used those extra two runs.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 16, 2007 -> 02:16 PM) nope phew

4-1 yanks?

o s***

first freakin pitch

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) Danks has pitched scared since he served up that would be gopher to A-Rod that died in the wind. Come on kid, throw it over the plate. There ya go John, nice job. was it really hit that hard?

where are those pitches? come on.

Looks LIke Mussina figured it out. Stay away away away.
