    Then this thread will continue until the day after opening day 2007.

     

     

    If it has too it will.... Believe boys, always believe.... Remember those famous words from Steve Perry, "Don't Stop Believing..."

  2. As said in the broadcast during the game..."The Angels might have wings, but we have rings." I thought that was pretty good. Or..."Angels go to heaven but White Sox go to World Series." That was also good.. Can you guys think of any good lines for the whole MLB. I came up with one just off the top of my head...not much thought put into it..... "All teams in the MLB will suffer because in 2006 the White Sox are even tougher." I am going to try and think of more and make a bottom half of my Sig...Any suggestions would be nice.

     

    JiYea!!!

  3. Ok i found it and you guys are right. ESPN screwed up. They have a record of 16-6 on April 28th...then the Sox lost on the 29th and the record went to 16-5 ( I wish that could happen, it would be great) then on April 30th they win and ESPn shows a record of 17-5...instead of

    16-6, 16-7, 17-7...

     

    Oh well, at least it wasn't my error..stupid ESPN....we need a new national sports company.

    We were 21-7 after 28 last year, we clearly need to pick up the pace here.

     

    :)

     

    I believe we were 23-5 after 28. But that was last year and this is this year. Just as long as we make it 23-8 by Sunday's end after beating up on the aweful Royal's...then we will be 1 behind last years pace after 31 games (24-7).

    alright you guys aren't seeing my point

     

    yes the averages are good, the wins are coming in and I'm glad to see that

     

    but its how were winning that I'm concerned with

     

    besides last night I havn't seen many games where we scratch out a game by a single-sac bunt-single or anything like that

     

    its all about going for the homeruns that I've seen

     

    I think thats good as long as it works, but I don't think that provides long-term promise

     

    Show me a game where it has come down to us needing that sac-bunt, ext. That is just how the game turned out to be last year, why? because we did not have the offensive power like we do this year. How do you know we can't execute those small ball games if we have not neede them in many games this year as we did last year? We still revolve around pitching and defense, as all teams should, but we added a bit of power in case that pitching and defense breaks down a bit. we don't need to win every game by 1 run by implicating the small ball just because that is what we did last year, last year is long gone and it is time to repeat. And if that means repeat in a different way, then so be it.

     

    As I said, yo don't need to win every game by 1 run....

    But we will win and I don't care how it is done, as no Sox fan should.

  6. Pod's and Gooch are doing the fundamentals that they were doing last year...getting on base and letting the heart of the order to knock them in. That is why we aquired Big Jim, to add some power to the heart of our lineup. If you have the power use it.

     

    Pods - .245 BA 17 runs scored (mind you not, he started what? 2 for alot?)

    Gooch - .321 BA 22 runs scored (2nd behind Thome 23) 34 hits (2nd behind Thome 37)

     

    We are the first to 20 wins (again), we have the best record in baseball (again), we are 12 games ove .500 and about to be 15 games over. I would say we are doing just fine.
