Wasn't KW the one who last week said that everyone was loose, and that may be what was wrong with this team in the past? Now, at least a few players will be wondering if his idiotic comments were about them, and will tighten up. Why can't KW just go to the player in question, and talk to him about it like a man?

It hit him square on the head, but his skull is so thickened by steroids, he didn't even flinch.

I've noticed most of the games have been 2 1/2 hours or less. The vendors are going to be even more unhappy.

Ginter will never be a good set up man ormiddle reliever, unless he figures out how to get lefties out. They hit .390 off him last year, and something like .350 off him in Charlotte. It has been a problem his whole career.

He is signed for $850,000 this season.

I know it would never happen, but he is a steal at $5.5 million. The Mets were interested in him, and they don't have any top notch pitching prospects.

That's the problem. The "pop" in his bat is history.

I would love Soriano. He seems to be available. He's brutal defensively, but he's a good bet for 40/40 away from Yankee Stadium. You could move him out to the outfield when Magglio leaves, and not lose any production.

Magglio will not be back next year. But the good news is, Willie Harris will hit .350 at Charlotte this season, after being sent down after hitting .186. Next Soxfest will we hear how Willie is ready to bust out on the major league level.

Harold is the anti-Ozzie personality-wise. This may work.

I agree with you, especially with a manager with no experience. I have just felt the team has been grooming Harold for something the past year or so, and will probably offer him this job. Whether or not that is a wise choice remains to be seen.

Peter Gammons predicts 3rd place. That is music to my ears. The Sox are now a lock to win the division.

I'd think it would be an upset if Baines doesn't get the job. He already is on the payroll.

He failed his physical with Pittsburgh, and is a free agent. Supposedly, he has an inner ear problem that is affecting his balance. I used to like him as a part time player, and he seems like a great guy, but since he left, so has his power, and his defense has slipped a bit too. If he could get healthy, I'd sign him and let him play in Charlotte a little to see if he can help the big club.

He did do that, but when the Sox did do the deal, he questioned it. Everett had gone on cold streak just before the trade.

I think you are right, when they are wearing hats. When the hat is off, Esteban's follically challenged dome looks nothing like Ozzie's.

They can sugarcoat it all they want, but Koch is only throwing 90 and still sucks. They should just release him.

John is his first name. He isn't on the Cubs roster because he signed a minor league contract. I haven't heard anything about him this spring.

The ball ricocheted off a wall and hit the little girl. Instead of calling someone an idiot for letting that happen you should be thankful she wasn't seriously hurt. It was a fluke. She will be fine.

Sutcliffe is just echoeing what many people on this board feel. (I don't agree). If you go back a month or 2 on this board, most were saying the same things he's saying, and he was covering his ass with Cub fans. I remember when he was finishing up his career, he passed on coming to the White Sox because he thought it would be sacreligious to play for them after his emotional involvement with the Cubs. The thing I don't like about Sutcliffe is that he always cuts off the last word in every sentence he speaks. He gets about halfway done with the last word, and its on to the next sentence. That has always annoyed me.

You can go into Jimbo's or Shinick's or any bar around there and ask for a temporary pass. They'll give you one if you return it after the game.

Steve Garvey threw worse than Frank, and he played first forever.

He decided to go out on a limb, did he?
