QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 01:08 AM) Do you know what the Sox record was last spring? Yea sure, about the same as this year....off hand I'd say maybe 7-19..not sure exactly but I know it's somewhere around that. But I Don't care about the record, as no one should. If history repeats itself like everyone says, then that would be a good thing. I just don't see much improvement from many of the guys since the beginning of ST, just my opinion though, it just doesnt look like we are ready for this season.

I know that we are still in ST...but are we going to be able to start winning games with a snap of a finger? During spring traing we are supposed to progress and get back into baseball gear. I have not seen too many of our starters progress since day one. Don't get on my back because i'm putting down our team, because i'm not. I'm just a bit worried that we may not be ready to start the '06 season. I guess we will have to see what happens on April 2. Btw...to start off this season I will be watching Major League on April 1 to try and put a curse on those pesky Indians, oh and they will be pesky, and we all know that. Lets start this thing on a good note...Go Sox!! JiYea!!

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) Lame seniority and the fact that Sabathia is still considered their "ace." I think they want a lefty/lefty matchup.

I am going fo sure, Cinci is a great city (horrible team). I am going to visit my GP's with all my cuzins. Gonna see 2 great ballgames. JiYea!!!

I'm not basing anything on anything, I just saw the record and had some questions...I have not been able to see many games this spring training so I have no clue what the team is doing on the field. I was here for the first week but that means nothing seeing that most of those boys have been moved down to the minors. I am guessing that most of the regulars are playing a lot of ball now, again I am just trying to catch up on what has been going down in ST. There was not a lot of spring training baseball shown on Las Vegas cable (especially Chicago baseball). Drink to the Sox... Opening Day: 11D 19H 48M

Hello fellow Sox fans, I havn't posted in a while (been in Vegas for the last week). I just got back and the first thing I do is check on how my beloved White Sox have been doing (well, second thing. I had to figure out how much money I had lost). I didn't have much time to follow baseball, except the WBC (for it was all that was on TV), so I was pretty excited to get back into the real world (for the most part, it has to happen some time), all WHITESOX all the time. But as I progressed to ESPN.com and clicked on standings, I scrolled down and was not too happy when I saw where the Sox appeared. With opening day only 11 days, 20 hours, and 30 minutes away, we have the worst record along with the all-mighty Nationals. Should I be worrying around this time or are we looking alright? How does everone else feel? Have we been playing bad, or just late leads given up by minors? When I saw that record and looked at some of the scores, a feeling came across me that it may be a bit tougher to repeat than many people may think. From a lost Sox Fan thats been lost in Sin City, what are your thoughts?

Just got here....Go Sox!!! These kids are good!!! . . . . . . _ . . . . __. . . ___.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) After hitting 2 home runs against the Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox catcher Chris Widger said, "Barry Bonds is a b**** yo! I got 'da mad skillz biiiiitch!" We attempted to reach Barry Bonds but he was not avalible to comment. It is rumored he was away trying on Wigs in the Pink Light District of San Fransisco. Awesome!!

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 04:38 PM) That meeting Ozzie had with them, seems to have lit a fire under them. I'd have some fire under me too if Ozzie gave me a speach. I'd be scared s***less.
