WHAT THE f*** WAS THAT?!? JESUS CHRIST

2 hits, 2 homeruns through 5 for us...must be the cold...no, its almost 70 degrees in Detroit...hmm, what do we blame now?

That was a .....stellar offensive inning.

Chad Durbin is simply unhittable!! A legend in the making!

AJ has never seen a pitch he didn't like

Pauly is LOCKED IN I tell ya...

Gooch is so dead sexy in the #2 hole

Ahh, so you DO fit in with our starting rotation, Danks!

.157 is oh so pretty at the leadoff position

It seems Crede has found his defense again, good to see. Lets get Danksy some GD runs tonight please guys, I'd like to see him win game #1 of his career.

I tracked the shipments on some online page, and it showed my local Target getting 12 in. This was early February. Sure enough, they opened at 1:30 PM on that Sunday, and I got to electronics at 1:40 PM, and got the last one left. Its crazy how fast these things sell.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 06:42 AM) And besides that, didn't Ozzie want this team based on pitching and defense? Wouldn't it be nice to have one of the best defensive cf's in baseball out there everday? Could you imagine how nice it would be to have Mack in left and Brian in center? It'd make me(and I'm sure everyone else) about a billion times more comfortable with the outfield, we'd definitely be covering some ground out there. As much as I want to see Brian given a chance, I've come to the realization that's it's not happening here. Not sure what he did, maybe he is a communist, or maybe it's just the fact that he's not Aaron Rowand, but Ozzie doesn't like the kid and it's unfortunate. We're going to lose a guy who could be a very solid every day player(he'll never be an allstar) because of pure stubbornness, and that's what bothers me most about this whole situation. Sadly, why does it seem like that to me as well? We clear the way for BA, then give him all of 400 ABs to prove himself...then push him to the end of the bench. Lest we not forget that our CFer last year had the 3rd highest RF of all CFers in the game, and the 2nd best Fielding %age of all CFers.

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 06:23 AM) I think this is the more telling commentary later in the article by Cowley: "But Rowand is a different animal than Anderson. Rowand would run through a wall because he was told to. Anderson would run through a wall because it seemed fun and could land him a few ''honeys'' along the way." I really wish the Sox would trade him to a lousy team where he starts every day, hits .216, is sent down to the minors, and never heard from again. This guy has shown he can't hit Major League pitching and probably never will. In some 410 odd career ABs, hes shown that he has no ability to hit MLB pitching, huh. Thats enough of a sample size for me, I'm sold!! Just in case people still forget that rookies tend to..gasp...struggle in their first go round: Barry Bonds‘ rookie year: .223/.330/.416. Bernie Williams‘ rookie year: .238/.336/.350. Andruw Jones‘ rookie year: .231/.329/.416. Aramis Ramirez’s rookie year: .235/.296/.351. Michael Young’s rookie year: .249/.298/.402. Troy Glaus‘ rookie year: .218/.280/.291. Carlos Delgado’s rookie year: .215/.352/.438. Alfonso Soriano's rookie year: .268/.304/.432. Torii Hunter's rookie year: .255/.309/.380 Brian Anderson's rookie year: .225/.290/.359 Lets cast him off, cut our losses while we can get something for him, and go with the exact same player, but 8 years older!!

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 03:45 AM) what happens, I'm confused Its the celebration of Lou Whitaker's career 420 doubles he hit. People all around the world get together and tell stories about old Tiger Field, and the way things were in baseball!

Places I want to go: Athens, Greece Rome, Italy Las Vegas this summer Places I've been: United Kingdom 5 times in the last year Las Vegas 11 times 40 of the 50 United States(Go go cross country trip in a 15 passenger van!!)

That .461 OPS that the Savior is sporting is DEAD SEXY!!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 01:58 AM) So who is pumped for Yanks-Sawx tomorrow? Go ARod! If by pumped, you mean severly disinterested, thats me!!

Yeah, but the whole 3-4-5-6 in our order is killing us right now!!!

Well to me, I'm more irritated with the guy who is currently leading off, not the one that should be if not on the DL(though, he still will struggle to steal bases on his return). To be able to justify someone like grindErstad not only playing daily, but LEADING OFF is amazing.

QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 12:59 AM) best FA signing this offseason,ii think we will see Longoria moved to 1B if Iwamura is the real deal. No no. that title CLEARLY belongs to a certain leadoff CF grinder, who is putting up a .163/.236/.224/.460 clip!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) I truly believe Jim should go down as a Great American Hero. He's amazing. He doesnt have the hair for that role "Believe it or not, its just meeeee!!"

I don't remember calling you out specifically. Its moreso a statement in general. Don't get all defensive so fast.

There should be a gamethread ban on "well that sucks for the Sox, but helps my fantasy team!!" crap...I mean seriously.

Pauly is SO hot right now!!

5 walks in a game. Don't see that everyday
