QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 02:01 PM) A White Sox pitcher pitching well in his major league debut? WOW The last one to win is Kip Wells

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 01:34 PM) I still don't think Morneau deserved the MVP. Of course he didn't. I get in to too many debates with people up here about that too..

Danks likes 2-0 counts.

Ugly thought

Starting lineups: Castillo, 2B; Punto, 3B; Mauer, C; Cuddyer, RF; Morneau, 1B; Hunter, CF; Redmond, DH; Tyner, LF; Bartlett, SS. Santana pitching. Ozuna, LF; Erstad, CF; Konerko, 1B; Thome, DH; Dye, RF; Crede, 3B; AJ, C; Iguchi, 2B; Uribe, SS. Danks making his ML debut. Basically what I expected.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 10:40 AM) Some numbers for our lefties against Johan... Player AB H R 2B HR RBI BB K AVG OBP Thome 21 4 -- 0 3 4 1 7 .190 .261 Erstad 29 8 -- 1 0 3 0 1 .276 .276 Pods 9 1 -- 0 0 0 1 5 .111 .200 AJ 11 1 -- 0 0 0 0 4 .091 .091 Just say no to Pods today, hell Thome too if we were smart, but that won't happen. Hell, Dye has had about the most success against Johan besides Erstad, with a .227 BA in 44 ABs. Sad when .227 is considered good for us against a pitcher. Scott Reifert posted the leagues top 10 hitters against Johan in terms of average:

QUOTE(black jack @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 10:05 AM) WTF....I thought we were going to miss Santana because of the canceled game? Why on earth would the Twins ever have Santana miss a series against us?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:37 PM) You might be in luck in a couple weeks. They'll have some extra time to fill with the new 7:11 start times, so those extra 4 minutes might be filled with something like that. If it is, it'll be up on Youtube within hours. That would rock. I'll keep my eyes peeled, thanks

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) BTW if you havent been to the park this year, check out the new montage video. At the end of the video when they go into Thunderstruck they have an animation of the cell with lightning going into it, like the natural movie. It has to be one of the coolest things, its hard to believe they could make that video better, and they did. Hats off to Brooks and whomever they had make that animation. It has to be the same people who make the Bulls intro video. I know the odds of this are slim to none, but anyone have this on their computer (youtube or something)? I hope to make it to the Cell sometime later this summer, but its too early to tell.

Great game for the Sox... definitely a statement

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 02:10 PM) wait what if they did it would be like "Hester with the return," you move the joystick up for a half a second and "TOUCHDOWN" every time he did that. wow, imagine the possibilities. What if he could teleport? Man, that'd be awesome.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 12:27 AM) Run, Done, and Princeton rhyme. They're all -un sounds. I guess it depends on how you pronounce Princeton. I've never pronounced it Prince-ton, but more Prince-tin. Probably my "east coast accent" (which I don't really believe I have). In any case, good call. I didn't notice that

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 11:29 PM) http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/uploads/post...-1127192675.gif Is there anything sexier?

I went searching for the Rally Crede image earlier, and couldn't find it (of course, I didn't go through the entire Rally Crede thread). Who wants to help me out?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 06:13 PM) That was part of some of the original proposals, but was not included in the final deal. Here's what Wiki Gonzalez has to say. I stand corrected. The open roof stadium for the Gophers football team? Makes sense. But an open stadium for the Twins? Completely idiotic.

QUOTE(bardsroom attendant @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 10:17 PM) Reports are that Danks goes against Santana on Sunday...uh oh. Scott Reifert agrees:

I finally got around to watching Requiem for a Dream, and really, I didn't think it was good. The soundtrack, fantastic. The cinematography, great. The acting, good. But really, the movie had little to no substance to it, and wasn't that good. The plot was nothing special at all, and I felt like it had no purpose behind it (guess what, drugs are bad and they mess up your dreams/life! surprise surprise!). I will give the movie that it's incredibly powerful though, which was clearly one of its goals. I had a tough time sitting through the whole thing... it got nearly too depressing for me towards the end, and I'm usually fine with depressing movies and such. There are some pretty good reviews here (watch out for spoilers) that basically say exactly what I think (search "JohnnyTower321" and "Ang Griffen" for my two favorites).

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 05:47 PM) I dunno...it's not like those things are cheap. Minnesota is moving from a dome to an outdoor stadium with no retractable roof, IIRC. I'm pretty sure it has a retractable roof, although I could be wrong, and am too lazy to check right now.

I didn't think it hit him, but really, does it matter? Bases loaded, no outs. Not that we couldn't have f***ed it up or something, but really, the odds of us winning were there.

As a side note, one of the funny things to watch here at ST over the past few days has been this threads title

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 10:47 AM) Why the hell isn't this series scheduled in Minnesota? I agree.. then I could go to the game.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) No one appreciates a good limerick anymore. The last line didn't rhyme There once was a man from Nantucket, He was such a fan of Kirby Puckett, His Twins were no good, So he figured he could, Tell the Sox fans they could go suck-it (this one isn't so good, but it was the best I could do in short notice)

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 3, 2007 -> 11:07 PM) Also: I really wish my new job didn't have to start Saturday, forcing me to miss the Spring game. Oh well Thanks to the crap cold, the golf course is closed, and I get to go to the game. Woo!
