QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ May 1, 2005 -> 12:01 PM) Update, Twins trail 2-0 in the middle of the 8th. Santana has been amazing but gave up two solo shots as the ONLY hits allowed. THis loss for him is eerily similar to the Lee game last year Colon dealing. Minus 1 outing in NY, he has been awesome so far this year.

The bad thing about rain is that we'd ahve to play a DH maybe tomorrow and we're so banged up I don't how good playing 18 innings would be.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 09:49 AM) And I'm a bit bewildered by Rob Neyer's piece on why the Sox won't win the AL Central, especially since Rob Neyer picked the Sox to win the AL Central barely a month ago! (I'd give you a link but I don't have ESPN Insider access) I know!! I thought that was pretty funny. People are quick to diss the quick start (and boy have they!) - but these same people are quick to explain away the poor starts of other teams - like the Yankees and the Angels. 13-9 (and first place) isn't bad for the Angels in april - but boy have they struggled at times. People will give them rope because a lot of people (myself included) picked them to go far in the playoffs. I guess when you don't have a track record - like the Sox don't, unfortunately - then you won't get that rope.

awesome. thanks guys!

ah, f*** it. It's Oakland.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) I think they play like s*** in general at this place. They play worse here than in Seattle or Anaheim. I can't seem to figure out why. I think I read they're 3-17 there in recent years. Yikes.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:22 PM) Widger lookin like Mike Schmidt at third base lol. wish I could see it.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:01 PM) Is gameday f***ed for everyone or is it just mine?? me too.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) We have the worst luck at this stadium. Oh, I thought you meant Soxtalk.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) God I just hate this place. why??

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) 3E8, Uribe's available if in an emergency situation. His doesn't sound near as bad as Ozuna's (injury). how bout Gooch?

well, this Saarloos dude is good at gettting the DP - or we're good at hitting into them. Grrr......

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 11:39 AM) Yea... Carl scores!! wow! That was quick!

If I was the A's - I'd hit as many balls as I could to the left side of the infield.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) Iguchi is hurt from getting rolled twice yesterday on DPs. Suck it up. Whoever is the least hurt of him, Ozuna, & Uribe should play SS.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) I just noticed the game thread didn't have the line up in it. This is one for the ages, and must go into the archives Scott Podsednik, LF Willie Harris, 2B Carl Everett, DH Paul Konerko, 1B Jermaine Dye, RF Aaron Rowand, CF A.J. Pierzynski, C Chris Widger, 3B Joe Crede, SS Yes. Very strange. Why not put Iguchi at SS, than the lead-footed Crede? And why have Willie as your emergency SS if you're not gonna use him in an emergency?

hey all - what channel is the game on tonight (Wed)? I tried to watch Sunday's game at my sister's - but stupid Dish Network doesn't have Comcast. And neither did Midway Airport - very upsetting to say the least.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Put Timo in the field before Carla.. WE are build around pitching speed and D...Carla in the OF neglects the last 2! Carla?

QUOTE(shakes @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) This is why this show sucks wothout Dibble. It's way too serious. The same topics every day. At least Dibble would say something stupid or have an opposing viewpoint. There is no more humor left on this show. Totally agreed. I miss Dibble, as stupid as he was at times.

I heard it--- Kenny just dispelled the talk about the Ozzie/Mags story & Ozzie/Frank thing. Didn't talk about the team until after KW was gone. waiting for the Moron now...

off-topic but.......... hey, another STYLES FAN!!! Awesome!

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) That's f***in crazy.... Watch the guy play. He's EASILY the best SS in the ALC... Uribe>Guillen>Berroa>Bartlett>Peralta I'll agree with that.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 05:27 PM) Strained hammy. Yikes. How bad?

just tuned in...... why did Contreras only go 3.1????

I too am upset with the non-pick of Mike Williams. I think EVERY team that passes on him (which is 1-8 so far) will regret it. He was the best player available - I saw every SC game that he played in - one of the best ever IMO.
