Thanks folks, 1 more year and I'll be considered old

A.J. up to .356 now, nice to see some bats actually get off to a hot start for us, instead of the normal .200 we usually hit in April

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) Brian Anderson is gonna have another huge day today in Seattle. Judging by that ball he just crushed to the infield, I agree!!

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 10:25 PM) you need to update your sig, captain obvious. Its my birthday, I'm supposed to be immune to all sarcastic responses! Tell the original creator of my sig to get on it then!

This audio feed we have here is hawt!!! Underwater baseball broadcasting has always been a good idea! Garland looking like ass, again.

Dye now at .333 with 14 RBIs...this middle of the order is best we've had in a LONG time, and yes i KNOW we had Maggs, PK and Frank at the same time.

Dye is getting it locked in...thats a VERY formidable 3-4-5 when they are all hitting...

You think Garcia looks solid? Ugh...I'm watching a different game then, because the Garcia I'm watching looks like absolute s***, and will be lucky to get 5 IP in

A locked in offensive team would have completely unloaded on Garcia tonight, we're lucky that the Twins are scuffling a bit.

TONS of hangers..

LOTS of Garcias pitches are very flat right now...just laying them in there...they aren't gonna be hit at people all night, he better get it going.

Garcia is getting hit hard, we've gotten some luck in where they were hit to. He isnt there yet, where he needs to be.

Theres a Sonic down the road from me here in South Carolina. Nothing special IMO. I'd rather hit the In-n-Out in Vegas 10 times over.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 01:01 AM) LOL, I look at this guys picture and think to myself "Man, that guy looks surprised to be there." Heh, to me he looks like hes thinking "Finally, I've achieved my goal of a professional mugshot! Oh glorious day!!"

I always watch the Sox at Caesars Palace or the Bellagio. As for eats, not sure where on the Strip you are staying, but I'm always partial to the Victorian Room at Barbary Coast. Open 24 hours, and very good food for cheap. Always try to hit up the Cheesecake Factory in Caesars Palace when I'm there also. Been there 11 times I think, and never fail to do the above things.

Had a pretty solid run last year on starting these things, and since everyone else is scared of Johan, I'll get us going here!! Santana (0-2, 5.71) vs. Buehrle (2-0, 2.25) Not the best track record against Johan obviously, but I didn't realize it was this bad last year: The crafty left-hander actually went 4-0 (16-7 overall), with two shutouts and a 0.92 ERA, in five starts against Chicago last season. The White Sox hit just .175 against Santana with 44 strikeouts.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 03:56 AM) I was one to ciritsize the Sox early on after a 1-4 start, but they look ready to take off. When and if Politte and Cotts kick it into high gear, the Sox could run away with it again...even with how good Cleveland is. This Sox team is really, really good. Thome has been an amazing addition. Not to mention for once, Konerko is off to a torrid April, something new to him. He in the past always seemed to bury himself in a hole to start the season. Between he and Crede really coming out of the gates hitting, and the Thome addition to protect Konerko, things look good.

Well, all is FAR from perfect in the ChiSox world we enjoy.....BUT... winning 8 of 9 goes a long way towards not nitpicking about our issues!

If you are looking at someone in the bullpen to worry about... see Cliff Politte

Wishy-washy Sox fans??? On Soxtalk?? I REFUSE to believe that!!

Player TEAM W L ERA G GS CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB SO J Garland CWS 1 1 13.94 2 2 0 0 10.1 23 16 16 2 3 8 That equates to one hellacious WHIP right now. Surely, even if Garland doesnt match his success of last year, things will improve. Lets go extend the Royals losing streak 1 more day!!

Shoeneweis had ALL the tools to be successful, but lacked the mental fortitude I guess. Hopefully Thornton can figure it out mentally with the help of Coop.

Eh, I dont see 3 of the best movies ever on that list, what the f***?!?! Chopper Chicks in Zombietown Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama I Dismember Mama

Thornton looked pretty solid today. The Tigers got a couple of well placed hits, other than that I like to think it was a productive outing with the game semi-on the line.

Does Pods look a bit lost at the plate sometimes? Yes But I think he needs a few weeks before we start bagging on his hitting. He missed time in ST, and when you are in that leadoff spot, trying to set the table for the offense, your woes are ALWAYS magnified even more. I think Pods will be fine, its nice to see Gooch completely break out of his ST woes right away though.
