Also, if anyone hasn't noticed, MLB.com has updated the player portraits (not really relevant to this thread, but whatever)

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) That looks like it could be the date the picture was uploaded. Those don't look like numbers from a digital camera. Usually, FTP clients don't edit the files that they upload, so one adding the date there doesn't make much sense. They don't look like the numbers from a camera, but I don't really buy into your explanation for it

Wait.. the second picture says it was taken at 11 AM. What the hell is he doing drinking at 11 AM, or did he drink throughout the night?

Sounds like some fun stuff

wtf.. the game isn't on MLB.tv

Its not even April Fools yet..

Only Soxtalk could have a thread based on Opening Day hats turn into a stereotypical flame battle

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) Not one post on the NIT dominace of SC? lol. Guess it's time to close this thread. I sort of stopped caring when Minnesota lost But yes, for those that don't know, South Carolina knocked off Michigan 76-64 last night to win their second consecutive NIT championship.

Are these only being worn on opening day? Either way, as said in the other thread, I'm likely picking one up.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) I for one am hoping he gets traded to Florida. He could end up being the most perplexing player in the history of fantasy baseball. Can you imagine having to consider a CF'er who hits 185 with 30 homers and 30 steals? It'd be insane. I just want to see him get 600 at bats some place and it might not be Seattle where that happens but then it could be. Florida would be a good spot and the Pirates have wanted him for a long time although they have no place for him In what universe would Borchard get 30 steals? He's never had more than 6 in a year in his minor league career.

"Ozzie" is much easier to read than to listen to

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) I was almost positive it was on TBS. You guys sure it aint on TBS? On the braves site it says "TS" Or whatever, and I believe that stands for TBS. Zap2it.com says that its not on TBS for me here.

Its not on any channels for me.. I guess I'll have to use MLB.tv

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) I wouldn't be surprised if he did better than that (some depends on his injury/wear and tear from the WBC)...but even if he was hitting less than .320 with 40 home runs, his offensive dropoff would more than cancel out any improvement they get from having Pierre at the top. I find the fact that before last year, he never hit over .282 at the major league level, very suspicious, and I highly doubt he will come anywhere near the .335 he hit last year. I'm likely wrong, but we'll see

Without reading anything in this thread, I'll just say that for once, I agree with VAfan. Now I feel dirty

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) That's assuming that Derek Lee will be able to match the absolutely monstrous numbers he put up last year. He's damn good, but the percentages still strongly suggest that he has to drop off somewhere; things tend to even out in the long run. He probably won't hit .270 like he did the 2 years before, but .335 with 46 home runs? I just don't think he'll be able to keep that streak going like he did last year. I'm expecting Lee to hit something like .290/.385/.520 with 41 2B, 34 HR and 98 RBI.

Does it really bother you that much? I mean, who cares what ESPN, SI, TSN, or the public thinks about, or how much respect they give, the White Sox. All that matters are wins, and this team is pretty good at getting those.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) I might have to pick one of those up.. they look real nice.

Uh...

Someone needs to put up a poll for who will win this game QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) The plan is to watch game 4 of the WS sometime int he afternoon just to mentally prepare myself to take in this game I'm going to watch all the playoff DVD's I have

TalkBears looks good Nice job

QUOTE(TLAK @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 10:16 PM) I wonder if this means the end of fireworks? A lot of smoke there. I'm guessing you are a smoker and don't like this

Unless I end up going to a game in Baltimore or Pittsburgh (or even possibly Cleveland), the season finale in Minnesota will be my first. My tickets for that game are in the 11th row above the firstbase dugout

No smoking at the stadium = good
