War. What is it good for?

A friend just emailed me this:

You damn piranha.

CASTRO!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2010 -> 12:43 PM) Didn't say that. But I'm not comparing them to a team that won 99 games then went 11-1 in October to win the World Series. I really didn't do that either. Was it not fair to say that our rotation on paper wasn't overly impressing anyone before the 2005 season? Where people clamoring all over the place saying that we had a World Series caliber pitching rotation? If so, I must have missed it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2010 -> 12:36 PM) Did caufield hack into your account? You're trying a little too hard to pimp the Twins. Now you're using the 2005 White Sox as a source for comparison? You're right. They're a complete fluke and will be lucky to win 85 games this year.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 5, 2010 -> 11:46 PM) I agree with this and more importantly for the Twins is they just don't have anywhere near the starting pitching of the Yanks or Rays. Except for maybe Liriano (but lets see if he stays healthy and holds up over the course of the year) they have a bunch of average starters. But against the Yanks you have to face Sabathia, Burnett, Pettitte and Phil Hughes is looking awesome so far this year. And the Rays entire rotation is filled with guys who are big time talents and can dominate you on any night. Granted I would expect at least one or two of those guys to fall off but they still are more impressive than Baker, Slowey, Blackburn and Pavano. Yeah but they're getting it done on a daily basis so far. Not too many people were overly impressed with the rotation of Buehrle, Garland, Conteras, and Garcia heading into the 2005 season.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2010 -> 07:22 AM) Really that has been Freddy's MO since he has been with the Sox. He would have an occassional dazzling start, but a lot of them he would struggle through and at the end we would all say "how the hell did he win that game?" It is just more pronounced now because his stuff is a shadow of what it used to be. That must be it then.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ May 6, 2010 -> 06:22 AM) I didn't get to turn the game on until the Sox were already winning 5-0. From what I saw, though, Freddy looked good, Rios continues to impress, and Pierre seems to be coming around. I have to disagree about the Freddy looking good part. I don't know how he does it but he's somehow winning games while not looking very good doing so.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 5, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) Someone's Facebook status the other day: "Bobby Jindal is requesting federal funds to help clean up the oil spill. Bobby, big government is not going to solve your problems. All this spending will do is add to the deficit and ruin our children's future." I lol'd. LOL I think I'll have to borrow that one.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 5, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) Santos coming in? No. He is allocated one appearance per every two weeks.

I love the right wing pundits complaining that the government was too slow to respond to the gulf crisis. I thought they wanted to let the market dictate things without government intervention. Now they want they expect the free handout?

And I'm just teasing jphat. I actually respect him as a member of this site.

Why is it that Freddy is still pitching?

We've matched our one April offensive explosion game. Hopefully there's more this month than last.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 5, 2010 -> 08:20 PM) We batted 9 in the first tonight as well. Oh sweet. I was at the gym and just joined the action.

I spoke too soon.

This could be the 1st inning all year where we've batted around the order.

Keep the line moving.
