Holy s***!!! A walk taken, mark this monumental day down!

You have been merged!!

Happy birthday Jas! Thanks for everything you do to keep the best damn Sox board up and going.

In the great words of Harry Doyle, aka Bob Uecker: "That looked like the Terminator, only slower. Maybe it was his out-of-stater, or it could have been the Hibernator--that baby is definitely going away for the winter. Whatever for Takatsu, it might be see-ya-later. He's probably gonna become a spectator."

Moved...for Steffs pleasure...

Until we win 2 or 3 Division Titles in a row, or we show some extended period of success, you should all as Sox fans expect the Twinkies to be the favorite. We have done nothing in the past few years to dissuade that. Now with that being said, I see no reason why we can't do it this yaer, but understand that until it IS done, Minny will be the heavy favorite to win the Central.

Hey CWSGuy...maybe pin the Twins threads if ya wanna? Be easier to spot right away. Lets face it, the Twins are gonna be on our midns all year, we will all be watching them day by day. Your forum, just a suggestion and all..

Garcia is overdue for the type of outing that we expect from him. That last effort against Seattle was less than stellar. Buehrle battled today and picked up a much deserved win. Now lets see Garcia go out there and give us 7 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 Ks

Nice synapsis Detroit. You guys go smack around Minnesota the rest of the year and you'll have lots of fans on this board I hate to see it, but that Maggs signing is just turning out to be a horrendous situation. Bonderman has some great stuff IMO, Maroth I know can bring it at times. Not sure the Tigers have the starting arms to get it all together this year though. Thanks for coming over, and feel free to come see us anytime.

and MacDougal blew it

what the hell kind of throw was that from MacDougal...had him picked.

merged and moved to ATH forum.

Ah good...well not good, but I wasn't sure who it was. Saw Miller coming in to repalce him and assumed it was Mauer. title fixed!

Wow...Redmond just got laid out on a play at home. Don't wanna see him get hurt, but when you block teh plate, such things happen. Left the game looking all kinds of disoriented.

Alarming lack of walks on this team so far...whats that? Crede up to .280 already? Thats my boy Joe...

Maggs: Scott, my knee...its feeling horrible. I don't think all is well with it. Boras: Well whatever you do, don't tell the Tigers brass that! We aren't losing out on that ridiculous contract I got for you! Maggs: Oh....good point! Hmm, I can say its a hernia. They probably won't even check for that. :banghead Maggs, how ye have fallen

Merged, for your pleasure...

One of my biggest concerns abuot this bullpen coming into the season was Politte. So far, he has been alot more lights out than I thought. 10 K's and 1 BB in 5.2 IP is silly! Just thought maybe some of you would like to take a look at our pitching stats as a whole.

Trade value? Debatable maybe, but no question, Davis is an excellent "Oh s***!" policy. "Oh s***! AJ is hurt" well, good thing we have Davis down there ready.

QUOTE(ISF @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) Let's compare stats on the groin and Lee at the end of the year. My money's on Lee. Not a fair comparison. Pods is doing things for this team that CLee could never do, that we needed. Leadoff hitter, SBs, presence on the basepads. To try and "compare" stats at the end of the year is misleading. Pods isnt gonna hit 30 HRs....but then again CLee isnt gonna steal 60+ bases either. Lets just be content with the trade, we got a damn good bullpen arm in Luis, and a MUCH needed leadoff guy with speed in Pods. Just wish CLee well with the Brewers, I know I hold no ill will towards him.

Interesting stat I just found about Garland... Quick Splits: vs. Left: .088 vs. Right: .341 I found that quite interesting, as lefties can't touch Jon, righties are having all the success.

Exactly...kid is 25 years old and people looked for any reason to try and get rid of him in the past. Give him time, not every guy in the majors can come in and "get it" right away. Garland looks like the pitcher alot of us thought he could be so far, lets hope it continues.

moved to ATH forum =)

Jonny G has always been one of my guys...now with that being said, so has Koch :banghead But cest la vie... Garland looks settled in the #5 spot, he has the demeanor of a MLB starting pitcher and actually is pitching like one consistently so far.

nice read there...wish i was watching the game to see Crede give Mauer a shot. Regardless, we are now 8-3 against our own division. Thats big time. Lets keep rollin' fellas..
