well, he may play 3rd for the Dodgers, but he will FOREVER be immortalized in my heart as JosE6!

early on it was pretty evident that FG didnt have the best accuracy on his fastball. Yet he worked through it, got out of a couple jams, and put us in a position to win, which is all we can ask for when the bats arent working early on in a game.

2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT. V6 was my main priority when I went car shopping, damn tired of having no power in a car, but didnt want to take out a loan to put gas in it either.

Hmm, the only sickness I have that I just can't seem to shake is the one that makes me mind-numbingly Bored at work. I guess thats the price you pay for working 3rd shift technical support

Player AB R H RBI Valentin 4 1 3 4 Triple and a Homer for JosE6.... and error #2 in 2 games..

Agreed. Again, it isnt the Offense i have my early season concerns about. Its the right arms of Jose Contreras and El Duque that worry me the most.

Thanks Nuke! Heh, didn't wanna risk my sparkling 2-0 record when starting the Game thread I certainly hope Contreras can keep up his past ways against Cleveland. An opening series sweep would be huge, against a pretty solid Cleveland squad.

step back... breathe.... its 2 games guys....give the offense time to gel...i have no worries right now. If you want to worry about anything, worry about the arms of Contreras and El Duque...

more importantly here...my record when starting Gameday threads is now 2-0!! Let the Harris thing go guys, we won...thats what matters...now lets watch Minny lose 2 out of 3 to Seattle hopefully!

how is Rowand gonna score from 2nd on a caught ball in right field? I'm boggled...

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) He did do s*** other than get lucky... Um, he did his job..bunt, move runners on..getting on base was just a bonus..

tbh, I must say Millwood has never really impressed me much, and thats when he was an NL only pitcher...I don't see him having an ERA under 4.50-5.00 this year in the AL.

Oh I dont think Koch was a user at all...I just think moreso that 10 years of throwing 97+ fastballs (counting college), and pitching so many innings over the years, his arm just didn't have it anymore. I didn't think it would be such a drastic change in such a short time, but I also tend to try and forget about the Koch days here in Chicago... DAMN you, quit trying to remind me about him

I don't think most of us as fans actually sit and think of the aggregate sum of things until we actually see them in print or text. I just didnt realize we ONLY scored 2 runs or less in 45 of our games YAS

no no no...I'm not saying MLB made the story up at all.. I'm saying they knew about the positive test 4 WEEKS ago, yet they waited until Opening Day to announce it. Thats my only beef with it. And I still don't think Sanchez is an actual roid user myself...

Was just about to add that Jabroni....expect almost the exact same I would think.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) When I see that picture it makes me sad, I don't get the chance to say a certain little saying anymore. Goes a little something like this.... STOP! Billy Time!!! That was MY line!! Too bad Billy let me, and the rest of the Sox nation down...but I always enjoyed throwing that line out there.

IMO Garcia is a guy that needs run support more than Buehrle...I always thought of Garcia as the guy who gives you 7 IP, 2 ER, and some key K's. I think the offense will be there today though, just a feeling.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) For the record, in 04 the Sox were Shut out 8 times. 0-13 when scoring 1 run 1-23 when scoring 2 runs this adds up to 1-44 in low scoring games. Wow...thats an alarming stat...Luckily we aren't the same "2 runners on base = 3 run homer time!!" team that we have tried to be in the past.

American hipocracy at its finest hehe... Some folks would take an idea such as making loafers wear pink jerseys to shun them, and try to get them to play better.....and twist it around to being a derogatory thing towards Breast Cancer survivors.. Jesus Christ, what is this country coming to...

no no Goldy, that wasnt a shot at you... that was me sitting here shaking my head at my fellow Americans behavior over the silliest things... "Wheres my GD cell phone at???" :headshake

Personally, I'm back on the mlb.tv plan. I've cursed those bastards out the last 2 years for continuing to charge me for "Highlights Packages" 2 months after the season ends, and here I am right back using it. sigh.....its hard being a White Sox fan in South Carolina sometimes...

Maggs lost me at "Scott Boras" JosE6, well I won't deny that IMO Jose gave his all while in teh Sox uniform, its just that his hitting from the right side of the plate was HORRID, and more of a liability than an asset. CLee, hmm I don't know what I think. It seemed at times that CLee did what was needed of him, but maybe that was only cause it coincided with making him look good...I really dunno.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:00 AM) I really believe him too. Honestly I do too....MLB, what a sham job there...they knew the results of that test up to 4 weeks ago, and waited until Opening Day to announce it, in an attempt to show how their new policy was "Stern and just!" :rolly

Well, despite the efforts of some to merge my Opening Day Gameday Thread with that banned fellas one, still won the game!! Will post Lineups when I see em, but lets hope we get to see Freddy give us 6-7 IP and a quality start, with good velocity
