QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) This is pissing me off. I saw the announcers, now they cut to blue screen and I get nothing. F you MLBtv.com goddamnit this is frustratin....i wait all offseason to watch and they pull this BS....its like taking a really hot chick home from the bar only to find out its actually a dude....wtf

um so is anyone using mlbtv getting the feed? i got the intro from the cleveland announcers and hten it went to commercial and never came back. WTF

people can say what they want about hawk...but im severely disappointed i dont get to hear him on opening day because of mlbtv

um....i hope mlb tv starts working very soon damnit its working and its the cleveland announcer...crap

haha i love the fact that brent musburger is announcing the cubs game

QUOTE(JorgeFabregas @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) How does Inge look in CF? better than granderson, from a sox fans perspective.... seriously though, its hard to tell with such a small sample size...there was one play earlier where it looked like he might crash into maggs, but maggs made the play and there was no collision

anyone watching on mlbtv? i flipped on the KC game on it to see....i like the 1.2 M speed...pretty good stuff, but its not entirely fluid still...maybe my comp can't handle it i dunno

QUOTE(Cali @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 01:45 PM) Any updates on the weather? whatever will hit cleveland, will probably hit detroit about an hour or so before, and it looks good at the detroit game right now....weather.com says not raining yet and that rain if it comes will come at around 6

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) Cabrera has pressure of being on a team supposed to win, and he's the most expensive reason theyre supposed to win what a gun by jose guillen

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 01:10 PM) Does Miggy look like he is in the best shape of his life, as Ozzie said over the offseason? he looks in better shape, but not like when he first came up....hes still bigger

QUOTE(joesaiditstrue @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 12:59 PM) wow, absolutely the worst called third strike call i've ever seen in my life @ the tigers/royals game, on alex gordon, the ball was outside about 5 inches welcome to the AL renteria...he gone on 3 pitches edit: damn you beat me to it

just talked to my buddy in cleveland, right now he said the weathers great 50ish a little sunny, no rain so far...who knows in 3 hours though

we actually draft a guy who will become a stud can't miss type guy....ie an upton, teixeria, beckett type prospect

QUOTE(zenryan @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) man, I remember when Wake was a good baseball school. Now they flat out suck. ah yes the mike macdougal days are long gone...but at least you have allan dykstra

more than anything...im ready to watch a competitive game that actually means something if we compete and win....since 75% of last year were useless games, its nice to look at the schedule today and see the indians and say "ok, lets get off to a good start, win the series and get a lead on these guys".....thats a good feeling to look at the schedule and actually feel like the games are important

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 09:33 AM) Weird how Swisher was to be starting at CF, and now all of a sudden, Alexei has won the CF job. I think it's going to be a muddled picture all season long, unless Ramirez produces from the get - go. if ramirez does play CF...i wonder how we will be able to get ABs for brian and carlos....these moves the sox have made, sending fields down, sending wasserman down, and allowing ramirez to play ahead of one of our OFers instead of ahead of uribe are simply infuriating .... if i was running the team the lineup would look like this...swisher cabrera thome konerko dye Aj fields quentin ramirez (theres not an easy out in that lineup, now we will probably have 2 or 3 when owens gets back). and wasserman would be in the pen and masset would be wherever.. as much as i like pablo...now that we have alexei, is there really a need for a guy like pablo on this team?

i remember one time chuck said hed like to do a celebrity boxing with both jay mariotti and skip bayless ...at the same time...but he said even then it wouldnt be fair and he wouldnt wanna kill anyone....hes hysterical

ozzie says brian or alexei will be in center against lefties, and swisher will be in center vs. righties.... does that mean quentin will play left vs. righties? I mean if anderson plays center over swisher against lefties i would imagine he would against righties as well.... i like that cuz i really wanna see carlos in there

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 28, 2008 -> 05:21 PM) Not even close....60 pct is the number I've always heard from scouts. It's interesting the Ordonez stuff, as Boers and Bernstein made a comment about him after he left the Sox, and KW just laughed when asked about him using PEDs. i think its gotta be even higher than that .....talk to high school football players...ill bet they tell you 15-20% of their team takes em....at least thats the number ive heard from a few guys in HS football...so id be willing to bet way, way, way more major leaguers took them than 25%

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 28, 2008 -> 05:15 PM) Ozzie He says OBP is most important at the leadoff spot, speed is just a bonus. He mentions BA in CF, and also talks about Alexei. Good stuff and better than reading all the speculation on this site. Ok so I cant figure out how to get the link to work so here is the page, the video is down near the bottom called Ozzie's take on 08 roster where is the page, rock?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Mar 28, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) Well, Ozuna's gotta be in the lineup since he hits C.C., and most lefties in general, well. And I'd rather have Ozuna in 2B then any other position. And there isn't any doubt in my mind that Ramirez is a better hitter then Anderson and maybe even Quentin. So, I'd have no problem with Ramirez in CF on opening day. I'm not saying Ramirez should be ahead of Anderson on the depth chart, but in this matchup vs. C.C., I like his odds better. yeah i forgot pablo will be at 2b opening day...that said, i certainly have doubts that alexei is a better hitter than both quentin and anderson...even if its not spring training and its the regular season...60 ABs is still way too small a sample size to determine that IMO....besides anderson and quentin both performed similarly to ramirez this spring...so im not sure how alexei is without a doubt a better hitter if ramirez starts in center over anderson i believe this is just proof of ozzies dumb fascination with guys who are fast

QUOTE(jenks45monster @ Mar 28, 2008 -> 04:43 PM) A small paragraph written by Cowley of the Sun-Times, on the right side of Pg. 69 from today's paper. "USING THE ROOKIE: Manager Ozzie Guillen has yet to make his Opening Day lineup official, but he could be leaning towards rookie Alexei Ramirez in center field in the opener against the Indians' C.C. Sabathia because of the way Ramirez handles the fastball." Would this be the right decision? if ramirez is gonna be in the lineup....it should be ahead of uribe at 2b, not ahead of anderson/quentin .....so no i say its the wrong decision

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 28, 2008 -> 02:53 PM) My assumption is the OF will be Quentin-Swisher-Dye on Opening Day, but also sometimes Swisher-Anderson-Dye after that. Once Owens returns, I have no idea. yeah i think thats whats going to happen...especiallly since anderson played a ton in CF in ST...im guessing ozzie wants to get CC's pitch count up and get him out of the game as early as possible and may go with quentin who works the count pretty well

QUOTE(Pants Rowland @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 12:35 PM) The fact that your knowledge of the 1994 team is based on second hand accounts from your dad and older brother makes me feel old since I was in college at the time and could probably name most of the roster. wasn't me who said it was from second hand knowledge, i was around for that team
