heh listen to these cubs douchebags: Dye has 8 homers this spring...which way does the wind blow in tucson? must be out. Pierzynski was at the center of every controversy...but you could tell by the look on josh paul's face that he definitely caught the ball

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) Did it look like anything serious when it happened? looks like he's okay, blanco blocked the plate and pods got his feet stuck in there but he walked off like he was fine

heh, i think we all know there are some questions about AJ as a family man...that was a little sketchy...but god damn if he isn't a god behind the plate!

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 12:12 PM) I don't know why I keep feeling this, but the eternal optimist feels that we're going to disappoint for some reason. i'm a little scared too, and I'm generally pretty up-beat about my sox' future returns

man, mark's cruisin today.

haha, hawk's so weird sometimes: first pitch coming up, YAY!!!!

sawwweeeeet move!!!!

haha i would but i'm doing some work and i can only handle so much

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 04:12 PM) Anderson = not Pods. Maybe the track is muddy from yesterday? haha, well that answers that question...

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 04:14 PM) I think you overrate the impact our last pitcher out of the pen will have on this team. yeah you're probably right, but my argument hinges more on the lucky last year than on the bullpen. Also, I don't see any huge indications that our offense is THAT much better than last year's. Thome is huge, but there are a loooot of question marks: Will Iguchi perform well as a soph in his new spot? Does Uribe have the patience to be a #2 hitter (probably yes, but who knows)? Does Crede get some consistency? Will Anderson be any good as an every day player? Does AJ hit .250 or .300? Those probably won't all turn out positively, so I do have some questions still, although we're definitely improved. Basically what it comes down to, is that we're improved on paper on both offense and pitching, but our string of excellent close-game performances will likely come to earth a little. Probably, our improvements will compensate and we'll end up similar to last year. The only difference is, this year we'll be more sound in our victories, most likely.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 04:00 AM) The race tightens as Reynoso throws 2 scoreless innings: Updated Stats: IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA WHIP J Lopez 5 4 0 0 0 5 0 0.00 0.80 P Reynoso 4 2 0 0 3 3 0 0.00 1.25 A Almanza (0-2) 3 1/3 6 5 5 1 3 0 13.50 2.10 mmm, tasty WHIP....

I'm sorry, but we had 3 starting pitchers last year who had not-so-great seasons the year before, and I'm willing to bet at least one of them has a not-so-great season this year. The lineup is looking good, but there's no indication that Brian Anderson will provide much bat at all this year. It'll probably be a while for him. Unless we shore up that second lefty in the bullpen, I think we'll fare similar to last year, maybe a few more losses because (admit it!) we got a little lucky last year. Not to say it wasn't the best frickin year of my life! 93 wins, probably another division title

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 03:10 AM) With baseball always looking for pitching if no one else will take him .....that is all i need to know .......PASS! maybe we won a furious bidding war for his minor league contract?

QUOTE(Damen @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) Man, Jenks looks like he put on at least 15 lbs. I hope he gets rid of some of that in the next 6 weeks, because I don't see his back lasting the course of a season if he's going to carry around that much weight. Rumor is, Jenks LOST weight. It's on ESPN somewhere, and we all know how reliable they are

QUOTE(timotime @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) oops, thats what i meant. i put comerica on there cause i heard it can be crappy. nah, i live in michigan and comerica's pretty nice. no real downside as far as i can see, except the whole Tigers thing...and my car got broken into last time i went down there. but if you can't see outside the stadium, it's cool. p.s. what's with this praise for wrigley and abhorration for commiskey (yeah i still call it that) and soldier field? it's ridiculous! since when are sports analysts architecture critics? they can hardly spell their own names, mostly...

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) We're invited to a Halloween party the night of Game 6. Hosted by our Cub fans friends. Still debating whether to dress up as a pennant just to be mean. But how I do that is an entirely different dilemma. you have cub fan friends!? for shame! p.s. when i was 8 i dressed up as a baseball card for halloween. i just got a refrigerator box side of cardboard, drew some guy on the front, cut out holes for the head and arms, and stuck 'em through. maybe you can do something similar. if you do, take pictures.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) Clemens on the road scares me a lot of their rotation anywhere scares me...but you know what doesn't? their lineup. pretty much top to bottom. especially against our pitching staff.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) The actual line spoken in real life was "We've had a problem" whoa, you were THERE!?

i've tried for single tickets in games 2, 6, and 7 now and they say there're none available so if you're still waiting in line, i'd suggest...ummm...not. unless you've still got faith.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) And while I'm at it.. the Sox don't control who has a lottery either. MLB does. They control CS and WS ticket sales. Call Bud and complain to him. bud never responds to my death threats anymore

QUOTE(Elcaballo45 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) I think they are trying to insult us, my word was "ongoing". I think my next word will be "hopeless". funny, my word was "you got tickets!" and then "winner!" and that doesnt even make sense

i guess this is all pretty much a fancy, expensive, more frustrating version of a lottery. if your connection is lucky enough to actually get through to the server properly and on time, you might get tickets. but i'd rather have a little piece of paper with a number on it.

QUOTE(aiko @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) Well that's enough futility for me.. hope one of you guys have better luc---PROCESSING---k. :lol:
