Is there another team who hits us as well as the Royals? I don't think so.
Oakland and Anaheim?

The White Sox weren't happy about getting swept in their first series of the season in Kansas City, but they'll get a quick chance for revenge this week at U.S. Cellular Field.
The Sox will send ace Mark Buehrle to the mound Tuesday in an attempt to get them on the right track against the division-leading Royals.
No doubt the Royals will start catcher Brent Mayne, who is 3-for-5 lifetime against Buehrle, and third baseman Joe Randa, who is 10-for-30 lifetime against Buehrle.
The White Sox are hoping to be able to drive in some of the runners they get on base after leaving 31 stranded in a three-game series in Detroit.
Pitching matchup:
CHW: LHP Mark Buehrle
2-1, 1.23 in 2003
19-12, 3.58 in 2002
6-3, 2.91 lifetime vs. KAN
KC: RHP Miguel Asencio
1-0, 3.60 in 2003
4-7, 5.11 in 2002
1-2, 5.96 lifetime vs. CHW
Players to watch: Mark Buehrle pitched well in the opener in Kansas City but only got a loss to show for it. He will look to reverse that decision at home against the Royals, who finally lost Sunday against Cleveland. Brandon Berger, one of the Royals' outfielders, is 6-for-18 against Buehrle, with four of those six hits being home runs.
Quotable: "I would say if it was one guy (stranding runners), but it looks like we're doing a team effort on that," White Sox manager Jerry Manuel said after his team stranded 31 in the three-game series in Detroit. "We're really working together on that one. We came together on one thing: 'If you leave him over there, I'll leave him over there.' I think that will improve."

I think that might be the finally determining factor to get me out to the game tonight. I wanted to go this weekend but the weather looks so hit or miss, that I can hardly pass up the awesome weather that we are looking at.
-
The Sox did hit him pretty decently last time around though. He pitched 5 innings giving up 4 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks with 3k's

After reading and digesting the 25 pages of this, this really feels like the type of circumstancial evidence that most of the anti-war people were so disturbed that they felt the Bush goverment used to justify a war in Iraq. Just like the biggest arguement against Iraq, at best, there is no one big smoking gun here.
It seems to me that there are many times where statements are made as facts without any real source or link being connected to them. I saw spots where newspapers were quoted, yet there were no links to them. People made supposedly public statements, yet their were no links provided to substansiate them.
As I posted earlier, I know for a fact that the stock arguement is a stretch at best, and it makes me wonder if other things the author gives as source based facts are being stretched to make this theory more plausible.
I'd be interested to see more physical support of the authors "facts".

You're insane. Never speak or type again.
Deal our best minor league prospect? Good idea. Lay off the Mountain Dew..... it obviously causes you to utter complete nonsense. Borchard, once he settles down into his role when he's called up, will be everything advertised and..... IMHO..... then some.
Borchard vs Pitcher. K...K...K...unless he listens to the coaches.
Borchard isn't of the Carlos Lee mold. He has shown that he has a relentless work ethic, and is extremely smart. You don't spend 3 years at Stanford, about to become the starting QB if you aren't both smart and a hard worker. Joe will be fine. As a matter of a fact, once again, I hope they follow the Joe Crede trail and leave Borchard down there, until it is impossible to keep him in AAA.
-
I am going to say 3 only. Maggs, MB, and Colon.
-
I don't know. If he is, he'll still get introduced at some point, right?
I think after openning day all they do is give the starting line ups. I know they don't run out onto the field individually at all. All they would do is run out there to take their positions.

After experiencing shoulder soreness during a simulated game in extended spring training, left-hander Mike Sirotka was brought in Monday to get checked out by team physician Michael Schafer. Sirotka was diagnosed with "shoulder inflammation" and will be shut down for at least 10 days. Sirotka has undergone two operations since he last pitched during the 2000 season.

Isn't he a bullpen coach now?
But yes it is the right thing to do.

Anybody with any Californina knowledge... can they tell me how far apart it is from where the bodies were found, and where the Peterson's home is?

D'Angelo has really impressed me so far. He has done everything that has been asked of him. He has taken pitches and hit the ball hard consistantly. He has done an adaquate job in the field as well.
But that being said, after hearing stories about his attitude, I am curious how he will handle some adversity.
-
He made a big error last night that led to two unearned runs. Turns out he has already made 2 errors in his 3 starts this year. I wonder if this has always been a problem for him?
-
Right now I am in the big time Borchard camp. I see the flashes of potential and raw ablitity, plus the fact that these are the first couple of years in his life that he has been totally dedicated to just baseball, and that says to me, when he breaks out, it will be in a big way.
I have also noticed that he is a bigtime student of the game. I saw clinic that he put on at Soxfest and his was BY FAR the best one of all of them. He had so much knowledge of the baseball swing and technique, I was amazed. He knew all of the Charlie Lau and Walt Hriniak techniques and often quoted from each of them. Joe is a smart smart kid.

I'm loving this cwsox, i only hope you are loving it as much, or more, than i am.
Well, if cwsox isn't enjoying this at least as much as you are, know that I am probably enjoying it even more!!!
Oh, and the Blackhawks helped put Detroit in this predicament by beating them in the final game of the season!!! If the Wings won the game, they would've been playing Edmonton, a team they match up with much better. But, since they lost to the Blackhawks, they had to play Anaheim in the first round. Hurts so good!!!
f*** the Dead Things
As least the Blackhawks did SOMETHING right this year.

The immediate killer for the Illini is that if Self leaves Villenueva made it pretty clear that he won't be going there. Most likely he will make himself eligible for the NBA draft.

The CIA knew of suspicious airline stock trades by September 7
Last but not least, the CIA knew a week before the attack WHICH airlines were most likely to be hijacked. The Agency maintains an advanced program called Promis, which monitors unusual stock market activity, SPECIFICALLY as a way to anticipate potential terrorist attacks. Promis provides 24-hour continuous real-time data on stock market activity and the FBI and Justice Department have both admitted that Promis was up and running all through the summer and fall of 2001. So there is no doubt whatsoever that as early as September. 7, the CIA knew that something was going down and knew which airlines were being targeted. Even a third-grader could have put this information together with the long litany of warnings above from foreign sources and come up with the conclusion that an American or United Airlines craft was going to be hijacked in the near future and most likely used to crash into a landmark, quite possibly the World Trade Center.
This statement is at best stretching the truth. I worked on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange at this time. I worked right across from the UAL pit. The suspicious trades that took place happened ON Friday Sept the 7th, not before. What happened was massive selling of Call Options in amounts that we out of line. There was no suspicious spike in volume UNTIL that day, not before.

Jordan isn't coming to the Bulls this year in any capacity. All he has to do is make it one more year with the Wiz and he gets $50 mil in equity of the team. Why would he leave that on the table? Then the persistant rumor is that he we will get a high profile position with the expansion Charlotte team.

WELL I just got an email telling students to go outside the basketball center and do anything to try and get Self to stay here. I didnt realize how many people love this guy but I can see why after what he has done especially after Kruger. But IFFFF he does bolt I would look to Cream at Marquette, or Doherty even as a possibility or maybe even i hate to say it but TIM FLOYD
I thought Tim Floyd was one of the finalists for the Georgia job? Whatever happened with that?

Funny story
in SLaM
Thats awesome. You sure lucked out. Did you tell your boss that it was in there
Yeah I pulled it out right in front of him. He didn't even know who Doug Collins was.
-
Me personally if they are going to fire Jerry, I would like to see them bring in someone with the exact opposite style of leadership. If they didn't listen to JM why would they listen to someone else like him? I don't know much about Wally Backman's style, but I think Bobby Valentine would be the man to after.

You know, i hate off days too. However, i spent my time tonight doing two very enjoyable things...it almost made me forget the Sox didn't play tonight. I just hope some of you joined in on the fun of:
1. watching the Cubs lose
And
2. watching the wings lose
I don't know what more i could ask for out of a night where the Sox don't play. I honestly don't think it's possible to have a better night, but if anyone thinks of anything else, let me know.
I will have to admit that those are two of my favorite off day activities. At least yesterday's weather was really nice, I got to get outside for a while!

7 walks for Malone? He is never going to make it to the big leagues is he? These control problems have never gone away, and I am starting to think never will. I wonder if he could be one of those guys could convert into a closer.
-
I personally haven't seen the commercial I'm about to speak of...but I've heard about Maggs infamous Pepsi commercial, where he could barely get out the words Pepsi because of his Spanish accent.
Konerko is a much, much, much better guy to have do these commercials. The only other guy I would even want to consider have do it is MB.
LMAO. Buehrle would have to do like a Beef Jerky commercial or gun safety commericals.
Pepsi half price nite

Not to sounds fairweather, but I already have a 7 game ticket plan lined up and bought. I have already went to one extra game, and because last night was supposed to be so nice, and it was half price I decided to go last minute. Turns out after all of the stupidity (both the team and non team) I should have just stayed home.
