QUOTE(Be Good @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 08:03 AM) Rowand did good when he was batting 3rd earlier in the season, and the only reason he was taken out of 3 is because Frank was back. Now that Frank is gone Rowand should go back to hitting 3rd. If we are down to Rowand as our #3 hitter.. Kenny please get Griffey. Rowand no way a #3 hitter ....6,7 hole hitter suits him. I believe our best candidate is hitting 2nd right now.

Best reliever Edwin Almonte player traded for Roberto Alomar

Great Knight For Offense August 4, 2005 FORT MILL, S.C. --The Knights put on an offensive clinic, scoring 12 runs on 17 hits to defeat the Durham Bulls 12-2 in the first game of the series Thursday night. With every Knight in the lineup collecting at least one hit, Greg Norton had two solo home runs while Ross Gload and Scott Bikowski each added another. Joe Borchard was 4-for-5 with two runs scored, and Bikowski was a perfect 3-for-3 with a double, a home run, four RBIs and two runs scored. Norton (2-for-5, 2 HR), Ross Gload (2-for-4, 2B, HR, 2 RBIs) and Jamie Burke (2-for-5, 2B, 3 RBIs) each had two hits. Working on the defensive side in relief of Jim Bullard, Matt Smith (1-6) earned his first win of the season after allowing just one hit in 2 1/3 innings. For the Bulls, Lance Carter was tagged with the loss after allowing four runs on five hits in five innings. For the Knights, the scoring was early and often as they collected at least one run in every inning except the second. The first of Norton's home runs put the Knights on the board in the first. After being dealt the leadoff walk in the third, Bikowski scored the second run on a double by Willie Harris up the right side, and Gload's solo shot in the fourth put the Knights up 3-0. After working through four scoreless innings, Bullard got into some trouble allowing a double and two walks to load the bases in the fifth. The third walk of the inning scored the Bulls first run and led to Bullard's early exit. In the bottom of the fifth, the Knights got the run back when Bikowski blasted his first home run of the season over the wall in right center field. With two outs each time, the Knights added three runs in both the sixth and seventh innings. Against reliever Jason Phillips, the Knights tacked together five two-out base hits in the sixth, allowing Gload, Borchard and Burke to cross the plate. The story repeated itself in the seventh as Phillips earned the first two outs quickly but allowed back-to-back singles to Borchard and Burke, who both scored on the double by Bikowski. Borchard's single drove in Gload, who reached on a fielder's choice. The Bulls got their second and final run in the eighth as B.J. Upton scored on an Earl Synder single. In the bottom of the eighth, Norton collected his 13th home run of the season, and Roosevelt Brown -the last Knights' batter to get a hit, scored on a ground out from Gload for the final run of the game. The Bulls and Knights play game two of the series as Arnie Munoz (6-10, 3.75) will take the mound against John Webb (8-4, 4.50) for the Bulls. Notes: Matt Smith earned his first win of the season, 1-6. Scott Bikowski hit his first home run of the season, 3-3, 2B, HR, 4 RBIs. Greg Norton now has 13 home runs, and Ross Gload has 10 in High A ball... Gio Gonzalez took the loss..had a bad defensive game (Gio did) throwing the ball away .

QUOTE(aspen1 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) BMAC Figure it out. Walks or homeruns. Which would you rather? The good to great ones will give up the long ball, they dont walk guys that can turn into the big innings.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) Barons lose 10-3. 2 hits for Owens, Blakely, and Stewart. Young 1-4 with a double, run, BB, SB, 2 Ks. Ahh, that's the Chris Young we all know and love. Phillips got rocked. Box Score at least he's back playing.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) Yes he is. When I listen to Chicago Baseabll Tonite at 11:00 after the Sox post, he makes the stupidest comments and goes from talking about baseball to HBO shows. Thats ok if the name of your show is NOT Chicago Baseball Tonite. Its better when Brian Dolgin does the show by himself. Bruce Levine is a moron. yes he is Ozz.
