QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 12:15 PM) Garland is the 5th starter. No team in the majors has an ace 1-5, the White Sox are pretty damn close. Every person in the majors is human and every one is going to go through a slump at some time. You would think last season winning the World Series would breed some **** loyalty in Sox fans. **** sickening. You go with the horses that got you there, you dont just ** take them in the back and shoot them because they had a bad day. Its much more sickening that you feel it necessary to use language like that. There are young people that visit this site and they do not need to be exposed to your limited vocabulary.

Garland's ERA is now 15.19. Maybe he can pitch a few no hitters and get it down.

I was very impressed with the Indians' pitching the last two days. True, there were some hit batters, but they seemed to have great location and were able to pitch to spots that their scouts apparently had told them were problems for our hitters. They were pitching outside to Anderson and he had a very difficult time, including striking out twice. Paulie seemed to have a hard time as well. I hope this is not an indication of what the Indians' staff will be like this year.

The scuttlebut in the Arizona Valley, where I live, is that the D Backs were glad to see Cintron go because he was considered an erratic fielder. He blew an easy grounder in the first inning of the game today. After having seen the Sox lose big time to the Giants last Saturday and watch Cotts blow the lead today, I worry about our relief pitching. Granted that most of the pitchers in the Giants game will not make the roster. An exception is Logan who looked good.
