was that our first Dag gummet of the year?

will somebody please get Alexei a bat that's not heavier than him?

WHEELS!

I like that play by Getz. He's quite the player.

He barely got the bag.. tough to be mad about that call.. he should have been more definitive with it. Though, can't really blame Jose for being a little timid.

Joe Crede... the new White Sox killer.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) Thome Ks. We're going to let them off the hook. Atleast we had some baserunners?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) I am, he looks horrific up there ever since coming back from injury. Swing is long and slow and you can tell he's still aways away. I still love Q, just stating facts. Everyone on the team looks horrific with a bat right now. I reserve judgment until someone breaks the team-wide slump.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 07:28 PM) That was a good pitch. f***, Quentin will be worthless here. are we already turning on the golden boy!? did i miss the memo?

can we pin this thread so those of us who don't care to beat a dead horse can ignore it?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) Maybe he'll lead the league in OBP via walks and HBPs? He's not going to get all those home runs and RBIs that way though.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Maybe 27 HRs and 90 RBI instead. he needs to get a hit first..

This team looks pretty sharp defensively.

I like that little bit of emotion from CQ

JOSH FIELDS CAN'T PLAY DEFENSE! /sarcasm

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 07:54 PM) So how much longer before Quentin gets booed? It's not like he's played any better. The manlove for Quentin is too strong to allow boos.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:38 AM) Whatever Chris wants, Chris Getz. That joke is so good, the last time i heard it i fell off my dinosaur! But seriously.. that'll never get old.

NEWS TEAM ASSEMBLE (it's an Anchorman-themed league) 25 man roster, 10 teams. Head To Head points. Just as sidenote, after 3 days, I'm 24 points ahead of the rest of the league. I think my team is nice and balanced, even if I don't have a whole lot of guys who are going to give me 10+ points a game or anything.

but I like to do this: THOME BOBBY FIELDS WHITE SOX WINNER! :cheers :cheers Sophistication is for sophisticated communication. This is the internet. Embrace it.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 06:03 PM) Alexei, Fields or AJ. And none of the 3 are really prime 2nd hitter options. The bunt single from Fields today leads me to believe he'd be ok in the 2 role. He's not ideal, but, he could be an option. Put Anderson in CF and slot him where Fields is hitting now and I think the lineup would have some good balance. Either that, or Wise could pan out as a serviceable player. We're only one game in.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 11:01 AM) Sun = 15 to 20 degrees v. today's overcast Also the snow that we got is more like an inch or two of slush. The field will be more playable tomorrow. It is unfortunate for those that can't change their days off but I think it was for the best. I also hate the off day after Opening Day. I love the day off after Opening Day specifically because of this situation. Instead of me not having tickets to the first game of the year, i still do. They already said they won't be opening the season with a double header, therefore those of us who (over)paid for opening day seats would be screwed. Instead, we just wait a day. I just hate off days. What am I supposed to do in the spring/summer when the Sox aren't playing..? QUOTE (GarlandFan20 @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 11:30 AM) I think this is a pretty great substitute, I've got my DVR ready. A+, Comcast! Makes me forget the days of Fox Sports Net, hah. Is Comcast putting all the games on OnDemand again this year? That was pretty awesome last year.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 07:53 PM) Yeah, everything looks good. Props for the nice banner. Just wanna add to the props on the banner. Looks really awesome. I love it.

Lame. But, as long as they play Tues, I'm good to go! I was smart, figuring I'd need a post opening-day recovery day so tuesday is in the clear for me. Would they double header Wednesday if they don't play Tuesday?

I hope Fields breaks out, not only for the Sox, but, I just dropped Crede for Fields in my fantasy league. I read a few reports that Joe had a rough spring and that Josh is doing really well so I made the move.

I'm reserving judgment on Colon and Jose (and subsequently the management's decision to go with them in the rotation), until atleast mid-may when they've got 4-5 starts each under their belts. For some reason, I've got a good feeling about them both putting up 13-15 wins this year. Nothing groundbreaking, but they'll keep us in games.
