The Ginger Kid

shot to the gap in right center, bases clearing triple

1-1

richar works a walk - bags packed with sox, 1 out, Alexei at the plate

and dotel pitches around it - nice

2 bad plays by the infield - dopey move by Fields

that should've been 2

sox look like they're up to their old tricks against leftys

QUOTE(kane0730 @ Mar 3, 2008 -> 10:48 AM) Today's Lineup Richar, 2B; Ramirez, SS; Fields, 3B; Dye, RF; Liefer, DH; Quentin, LF; Anderson, CF; Eldred, 1B; Armstrong, C. Danks pitching. Also throwing: Wassermann, Jenks, Logan, MacDougal, Dotel. I'm looking forward to finally seeing Quentin & Ramirez take some cuts. And checking out Danks improved cutter. here's hoping mcdougal bounces back...

QUOTE(Kenny Hates Prospects @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 10:00 AM) Seems more like they're in win-never mode. I mean I could see them going after a guy like Miguel Cabrera when he was available, or trying to sign ARod when he was a FA, or even trying to snag Troy Glaus, Scott Rolen, or Eric Chavez for next to nothing, but Brandon Inge? WTF are they thinking? Their obsession with mediocre/slightly above average veterans on bad contracts is mind boggling. Hopefully we can enter the picture and offer up Contreras, MacDougal, and Crede for Kemp, Kershaw, Loney, Broxton, and Billingsley. That would be a great deal for the Dodgers based on the way they're going, but then again they probably wouldn't take Crede unless we stupidly extended him for another three years first. Hopefully for Dodger fans' sake the discussions are only an attempt to unload Pierre or something. Colletti has said Martin and Kemp are untouchable right now.

Great victory - Sox really, really needed this one. (that's my own effort at training for the regular season posts)

who's coming out to give up 5 in the 9th?

CLE and DET battle to a tie. A hint of things to come in the division.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 02:27 PM) I would rather see Bourgeois make the roster than Anderson. Bourgeois seems to have more offensive ability and speed which this team sorely lacks. shpeed, too

tie game

crede oh so close to making it 7-2

pablo's having a strong spring - Sox lead 3-2

Crede - yard.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) Ramirez can hit. But he had a Carlos Lee style braincramp at 2B. Anybdoy else think BA could hit .300 through the rest of camp and still not make the team? in his defense, Lucy whiffed on the bunt. Floyd scares me.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 09:40 AM) Well of course they do, but picking up Joe Crede for 1 year to block Andy Laroche is just stupid. I don't know that Laroche is all that. But they're definitely in a win-now mode, and it looks like they might have more interest in Inge. Inge to Dodgers?

Dodgers have more to offer, IMO

Sounds like the Count pitched pretty well today...

what a wasted draft pick

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) Honestly, for a 1 year thing, I wouldn't mind this at all. This would be a great way to market the Sox to all the Cub fans who have never been anywhere but historic Wrigley Field. Some of them would come back. that's exactly what i thought when i read that - i can say from experience that i took my nephews, who live 3 miles from Wrigley, to a game in '05 and they've returned each season as a result. Although they're cub fans, they have a great time at the cell, especially the fundamentals thing.

atta boy BA

i didn't realize that Sisco had football and baseball scholarship offers from the likes of Cal, Stanford and USC. Damn!
