8-4 Giants, and the Twinkies STILL SUCK!

HELL YEAH!

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 06:09 PM) As for trading to play keep away that's a horrible idea for a mid 70 payroll team. Let the Yankees & Red Sox engage in that strategy. Didn't we give away some prospects to help the Mets get Kris Benson last year, thus keeping him from the Twins?

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jun 11, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) One thing to keep in mind: If we win the division and the twinkies win the wild card, we play them in the first round If we lose the division to them and still win the wilkd card, we still play them in he first round Who focking cares? PS: This post assumes the White Sox or Twinkies will be best team in AL if they wint he division. No matter what order the teams finish in, the Sox will not face the Twins in the first round of the playoffs, if both teams go. If the Sox are the best team in baseball and the Twins win the Wild Card, the Twins will face the 2nd best AL team, and the Sox will face the 3rd best AL team. The same applies if the roles of the teams are reversed.

I'd prefer a 7 or so game cushion for the year, but that's just me. My only problem with that small of a lead is it can be overcome in a few games. A 7 game lead is a lot harder to overcome than a 3-5 game lead.

Don't know the exact stats on the 83 team, but the 05 starters have 33 of the Sox 41 wins (10 for Garland, 7 for Buehrle, 7 for Duque, 6 for Freddy, and 3 for Count). If they continue that pace, they'll rank among the best staffs of all-time, let alone franchise history.

Tonight's game is another shining example proving the theory that the Twinkies SUCK!

Garland's 10th, Buehrle's 8th, and Freddy's 7th comin up!

I liked it. He didn't say which pitch he thinks he needs to improve the most though.

There's already a thread that is dedicated to the driection this topic seems to be headed toward. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34762

I'd love to have Pedro Feliz on the Sox, so it won't happen. Either that, or we'll overpay by a lot for him.

Damn straight!

Which of your pitches do you consider your out pitch? Which of your pitches do you think you need to work on and improve?

From what I saw, Ryan Rote and Derek Rodriguez could be good late round picks. Rote looked to have some control issues, but good velocity on both his 2 seam fastball and 4 seam fastball, both of which were 94 MPH most of the time. He also had a slider/cutter that didn't break too much and was clocked at 86-87 MPH. Rodriguez had ok velocity, topping out at 90 MPH. He had pretty good control, and the break on his 2 seamer was unbelievable. His offspeed pitches also looked pretty good. He threw a good curve that broke well and usually went 76 MPH and a decent change that also went 76 MPH. Just my opinion (other than the speeds of course).

From the scouting video I just watched, he has a good 2 seamer that was always clocked at 89 MPH, a wicked curve that was clocked in the 77-81 MPH range, and a good change that was clocked at 80-81 MPH. His 4 seamer was unimpressive IMO. It was clocked at 87 MPH. QUOTE(shagar69 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 03:56 PM) i have never seen him play and i dont konw what to make of those stats, so the best way i can judge him is if i know what current major league pitcher his style is similar to. any thoughts draft experts? It said on the draft tracker on mlb.com that his style was similar to Justin Duscherer.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) My NL All-Star Team as of June 7th: C Ramon Hernandez 1B Derek Lee 2B Jeff Kent 3B David Wright SS Clint Barmes (injury substitute: Jimmy Rollins) OF Bobby Abreu OF Carlos Lee OF Miguel Cabrera That's a lineup we'll never see, because it's a deserving lineup.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. A simple no would've sufficed.

Hey, if the Cards can be held to a 2-1 LOSS at Coors, then a 2-1 win for us isn't all that bad.

Lineup that could win the game while getting some bench guys PT: Podsednik LF Iguchi 2B Rowand CF Konerko 1B Dye RF Widger C Uribe SS Ozuna 3B Lineup Ozzie plans on: "Ummm, can Timo play all 9 positions?"

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) He had a big homer in a Twins game, dont' know if it was a game winner or not. If you're talking about this game, the HR put us up 4-3 after being in a 3-3 tie, but we went on to score three more runs in that inning.

Name the other game he has won for us and provide proof. I'll admit the Memorial Day game he ran into a pitch and got a bloop hit that won that game. So, the Memorial Day game and...

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 11:59 PM) I think bashing Guillen before the game starts is being critical not observing Who is bashing Ozzie? We've all observed what happens in the third game of a series that we take the first two in. Ozzie goes into "Get everyone PT" mode INSTEAD OF PLAYING FOR THE SWEEP. He puts lineups that make no sense for any reason other than the aforementioned one in the third game of a lot of series. If you observe the same behavior in a situation over and over and over, then why is it criticism to point out your observation when a similar situation comes up?
