QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) What did Tracey do in the 9th? Didn't give up any runs but gave up a hit and a walk sending the tying run to the plate against Braves scrubs. I was dissapointed in his performance this spring. I thought he would at least give Ozzie and KW something to think about.

Tracey showing why he won't be traveling on charter jets this season.

QUOTE(TheDudeAbides @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 08:58 PM) damn it! Just once this spring i wanted to catch Haegar pitching his knuckler. Oh well Watching knuckleball pitchers is pretty sweet.

QUOTE(TheDudeAbides @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) Guys, is the game being replayed on comcast tonight? No

BTW anyone looking for ring ceremony tickets, they are available at Whitesox.com right now.

Jenks with a 1,2 3 inning with a K, although he didn't face anyone on Atlanta's 40 man roster.

Sweeney singled and A J walked. 1st and 2nd nobody out.

I was pretty excited getting this gameday audio, but hearing Chip Caray has ruined it for me.

Put in on the board for Paulie, tied at 3

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 05:59 PM) I always thought it was Tempe? You are correct. U of Arizona is in Tucson.

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) So if it is rained out and played Monday, do those of us with tickets for Sunday's game get to go on Monday?? Anyone know the answer to this? Yes. Sunday's tickets would be good for Monday. Unless it poors throughout Sunday night, expect them to get the game in.

I'm sure they will do everything possible to get the game in Sunday if it does rain. If its delayed long fathom will be able to get wrestlemania and the Sox game in. If it is rained out, I'm sure it would be played Monday, that's what the open date is for.

All this talk about being DL'd, skipping Atlanta. When it happened, they said it was nothing, he'd play the next day although they then have him take an MRI. I'm sorry, although its not to the extent of the Cubs, the White Sox aren't exactly straight with their injuries.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) LOL. He said it would build and build. ANd it has done that. It does this every spring. But why listen to him? He doesn't know what he's talking about. Considering Bobby doesn't exactly have a history of success in professional baseball, I find it hard to trust him. Didn't he say he would be at full speed by the beginning of the season? Keep in mind Bobby has only 6 more career saves in MLB than I do. He's not a veteran who knows how to get himself prepared for the season. This was a guy who started lifting heavy weights with no supervision this offseason and who's own manager says is fat. I would be willing to bet the White Sox keep a much closer eye on him next offseason.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 03:51 PM) LOL. And? He threw Ks with better velocity, and located his curve and slider well for the most part. He has improved every outing. That's all that matters He threw 1 at 96 and a couple at 94 according to the gun. The rest of his fastballs didn't seem to register as they read 66 and 67. You have been saying he's consistently at 94 so I don't see how you can say better velocity, and his K's were minor leaguers who swing at pitches major leaguers let go by for balls. He gave up 2 hits as well. What matters is how he pitches when the games count. From what I've seen, I wouldn't be too confident about him entering the game if the Sox had a 1-0 lead against Cleveland Sunday night going into the 9th like Shingo did last season.

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) No worries, he got his "work" in Bobby will kill when he has 40,000 people going nuts when he takes the field What I'm worried about is he is obviously not where he wants to be yet as far has his velocity and command. He probably needs 2 or 3 weeks at least to get where he wants to be. He may try and get there immediately, and do some damage to his shoulder or elbow.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) Bobby looks much better each outing. Should be going to ATL now but the scrub dropped the ball. What? He just blew the save against back-ups for one of the worst teams in baseball. The people he fanned were scrubs as well

QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 08:03 PM) are you kidding me? 5,000 a month since 97 is not enough to buy that ? Let's do the math here..... 5,000 month = 60,000 a year = 480,000 over the last 8 years. I don't entirely feel sorry for the girl. I agree she should meet her sisters. But damn, they are probably just after more money. Johnson is the one suing for money. I thought one of the responsibilities for being a parent was to provide the best life you can for your child, which to me would include more than cutting a check. While the money total may be a nice total for a regular middle class family, the fact remains the mother easily could have received more money if that was her goal. She didn't even get anything until the child was 9 or 10 years old. What kind of horrible man must you be if you have a daughter who is 16, have visitation rights and the means to do whatever you want for her, and you wouldn't be even to recognize her if she stood right in front of you? What kind of creep refuses to answer his young daughter's continuous requests at a meeting? Life is tough enough for young kids these days without having to deal with your father acting as if you don't exist. Randy Johnson is a great pitcher, but he is a pathetic man.

QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 08:10 AM) Because as bad as it is - it's still legal. I quit about a year and a half ago. I never realized how bad smoke smelled until now. Wow! I don't like this. Smokers have a legal right to smoke, in my opinion. Just like I have a right to drink, eat a brat with extra onions that stinks to high hell, or burp and fart. I just have a problem with this constant war against people doing a perfectly legal thing. Addiction is a disease, right? AIDS is a disease. Diabetes is a disease. Why is it OK to humiliate smokers, but feel sympathy for people with other diseases? Where's the ACLU for smokers? Can smokers use the Americans with Disabilities Act? Just my $0.02 There was an ordinance passed in the City of Chicago a couple of years ago that required cab drivers to not stink. As far as I know it is not illegal to not use deodorant. It is also not against any law to go several days without showering. Smokers should have been outraged that government was taking cab drivers rights to stink in their cabs away from them, but smokers agreed with the ordinance. I don't want to smell cigarettes when I'm watching a game, and don't want to stink like an ashtray went I get home. The overwhelming majority of people in the park don't want to either. Smokers can still smoke, just in the designated areas. Your right to smoke is in no way being violated.

I am a non smoker and like this new policy. Smokers can still smoke, just out on designated ramps, or smokers can do their bodies a favor and abstain for 3 hours. One thing I don't understand, and don't get me wrong, I don't think being a smoker makes you a bad person, but smokers with young children, at least the couple that I know, never smoke in their house, or want to subject their little ones to second hand smoke. But when it comes to an arena or public place, it seems to be just fine with them to subject other's little ones and adults to their second hand smoke. Why is it fine with them to go have to go out on the porch to smoke at their own homes, but it is asking way too much and is totally unfair if that same policy is used at a public place? And why do smokers usually claim there is no evidence secondhand smoke kills, but do their best not to subject their kids to it?

QUOTE(joeynach @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 04:20 PM) Does anyone know the status of the new Scout Seat restaurant and lounge that was supposed to be built. Obviously it wasn't completed for last year cuz they used that stupid tent outside in front of home plate that looks like the same one my mom rented for my high school graduation party. I thought it was supposed to be in place by now?? Man that tent is hideous and looks really out of place right in front of the park. I believe it is built and should be ready for opening night.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 02:29 PM) Nice baserunning, AJ. He gets doubled up off of first base. Inning over. I know its late in spring training, and these guys may be bored, but this is exactly the type of s*** that shouldn't happen.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 02:27 PM) I hope Cintron isn't hurt. Maybe he got traded

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 02:25 PM) Alex Cintron is already out of the game? Chris Getz is pinch-hitting for him. Hawk didn't know who Getz was. It reminded me of earlier in spring training when they had Singleton in the booth and Hawk told him how hard he had to work and how much homework he needed to do. The next 3 or 4 Sox hitters Hawk had no clue as to who they were, even when the were announced on the PA.

QUOTE(chisoxdavid @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) I need some info on The Patio and Stadium Club at the Cell. How much is it, which one is better? I know the Patio is about an 1hr before the game and 1/2 during, and Stadium Club is during the game. It depends on what you are looking for. If you're looking to stuff your face and chug beers for one set price, the patio is what you want. The Stadium Club is a little fancier and you will be ordering off a menu with a waitress, and what ultimately will be a decent sized tab.
