Lawson and Ellington should solve the backcourt issues. They need Lawson to be good right away though and be healthy, because Bobby Frasor and Quentin Thomas suck.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 04:51 PM) Self was in Chicago today.. I wonder if he is visiting Deandre Thomas or Derrick Rose, who he is all over now. He can visit Rose all he wants, but he better have a suitcase full of cash if he wants him to consider KU. He got in on him too late. Thomas sucks, go ahead and take him though.

That streak is never going down. Too damn hard to do with all things considered.

Papelbon will be a hell of a closer as long as they let him, but with Wells already hurt and Beckett and Schilling ticking injury time bombs, he will end up in the rotation and Timlin will end up closing. Foulke is done, no doubt about it.

Him and Griffey were 2 of my 3 favorite players (along with Frank) as a kid. One decided to to cheat the game and all it's fans, and the other fought through injury issues and is going to end up with 600 homers even despite them. Bonds is an embarassment to himself and the sport as the grand jury documents show, a miserable human being, an arrogant prick, and most importantly has no respect for the REAL heroes of the game. I don't hate Bonds because he's black, I hate him because he's the biggest piece of s*** in terms of on the field and cheating I've ever seen. He could have been the first (and only) 500/500 player and 1st ballot hall of famer without cheating, and he STILL did. That's the most pathetic part of it all. It's a shame that he has already passed his godfather and may pass the greatest of them all, Hank Aaron, because of HGH. Look now I'm wrong A LOT, but I can say with 100 percent confidence that if you like Barry Bonds, you either have no respect for the history of baseball and it's records, or your ignorant about the game of baseball. The worst part is you can't erase or take away his records....it's proven through these books and grand jury documents and such that he no doubt was on all kinds of s***, but since Bud and his group of fools didn't decided to test for the s*** until it was too late, all you can say to all those that have lots records is tough s***.

We had a lot of games like today last year where we blew chances to win and lost. Not a big deal, we will make up for it. We sucked hitting in late game spots last year too, until October that is. But the 1 run/close games we won last year were despite our s***ty late game hitting, and were in fact due to jumping out early (hi there healthy Pods) and then letting the pitching and bullpen hold on.

He'll be the coach, it's obvious just like Anderson to Mizzou was. He'll do well at UAB.

B-Mac catches Sizemore looking. Nasty.

Wow, b**** slapped that pitch, but right to Juan.

Nice!!! Ozuna takes one for the team on the kneecap!! Loads 'em up for the kid Anderson! COME UP BIG BA!! Takes a strike, nasty pitch. Yikes, another nasty pitch and it's 0-2. s***. How about a wild pitch? Takes it right down the middle, inning over. f***ety f*** f***. But hey, we got the lead. COME ON BULLPEN!

That's why A.J. is the man, little stuff like that. He made sure that thing was gonna hit him. JUAN!!!! SAC FLY!!!! SOX LEAD 3-2!!

HIT HIM!! TIE GAME!!!

Good call, he was definitely out.

Mack takes a ball.... RIPS ONE FOUL, whew. Takes a strike right down the middle. WTF??? OUT?!?!?!

What a f***ing AB by Paulie, great job captain.

s***, right size wrong shape PK. That was crushed. And another good cut by PK, just missing these. Good breaking ball, great job by PK to get a piece of that. Ball 3, full count!! Mack on deck.....WALKED HIM, LOAD 'EM UP!!! NOBODY OUT!

Plunks Thome!! Thome is fine, 1st and 2nd 0 out for Paulie!!

Thatta boy Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooch!!!!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) His stuff looks fine, unlike Freddy yesterday. Just having some control issues. He did very well to only give up 2 there, let's hope he settles down and gets a QS outta this. Like I said .

As a wise man once said, can't steal 1st base.

Pods gets a nice pitch to drop into the green outfield and tie it, and looked to be overswinging. Ugh. Pods with a lazy pop up, ugh. He should have to do pushups for everything hit in the air, Willie Mays Hayes style.

Oh s***, HUGE COLLISION!!! Anderson to 2nd. Martinez and Broussard are hurt.

Another random fact, but that graphic with the trophy behind the Sox logo when they show who is batting is good stuff.

I don't know if this was pointed out yet, but I can't believe the crowd today. I know they are giving out those mini WS trophies, but still, big gathering on hand.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) I completely agree with that stance, but I'd rather they just not make the playoffs at all. Thus, it's never too early for them to start losing, especially to pathetic pitching teams like the Reds. Fair enough. And I want to see these Pods vs. Crisp/Sizemore leadoff man/player debates. I don't know how you could argue for Pods in those debates. HELL OF A JOB BY COUNT TO GET OUT OF THAT WITH NO DAMAGE!! 1st and 2nd 0 out for 3 of the best hitters in the division and he gets them all. Well done. B-Mac was getting warm in the pen btw, he might come in for the 6th with Count's workload today. COME ON BATS!
