Our catchers have trouble handling non-knuckle ball pitchers and have no chance against knucklers. PB takes away the DP that would have been and run scores. Reed K's M's with a pair 5-2.

Haegar not really looking like somebody that wants to make the major league team.

Dye 1 pitch DP inning over. I really think this team is f***ed if (1) Iguchi isn't batting second and (2) Anderson is not in center. When did Darin Erstad become a god? He is having a spring that resembles his career. The whole situation confuses me. As you can see from my earlier post I confuse rather easily. Morse up. Haegar in. Morse homers on the second pitch.

Farmer likes Danks and Anderson to make the team..... QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) Farmer likes Danks and Anderson to make the team..... Oh wait..if the guy isn't going to pitch every 5th day he should go to AAA. I am a tad confused.

Ed Farmer prior to the commercial break- "Rain Delay should blow through rather quickly." After the break - "Rain Delay and we are going ot be here a while as it is coming down rather hard." We won't confuse Ed Farmer with Jim Tilmon won't we.

Rain Delay-----Konerko on via a Bloomquist and Sexson error.... both dropped the ball in an attempt to get Konerko on base.

Thome 2 run shot

SB as "nobody was paying attention" on the delayed steal. Looks like another banner day. GO by Sexson.

Ibanez with a single Sexson up.

Great to see the wild pitches and stolen bases won't be an issue this year.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 07:07 AM) HOLY f***ING s*** WAS THAT EPISODE AWESOME!!!! Wow, where to start? -You could just tell that something has been up for a while with John Locke. He has been doing stupid things for too long now for it to just be a coincidence, and of course as usual with LOST I totally missed it. His whole back and forth with Ben could be analyzed forever, but it boils down to Ben is a fricken awesome character. You really don't know when he is playing the game, or when he is telling the truth. The ending with Ben showing Locke his father was the Coup De Grace. (I did call that one though). It will be really interesting to see if Ben lets John have a crack at his Daddy. -The line Ben had about releasing Jacks friends when Jack and Juliet left the island was perfect. It caught Jack off guard, but he never got it, now we get to see how Ben handles this. Does he still let them go, even though there is no where to go? -The key question for this week is what is the Magic Box, and is it real? I know there is more stuff I forgot, but we'll start with that. I believe the magic box was more rhetorical as Ben knew what John would think. The Locke character is what I believe is the whole jist of the show. Is Locke a pawn that Ben can manipulate easily or is Locke the know all of the secrets of the island and therefore driving Ben crazy???? I really do not undersand the Others are they part of Dharma or aren't they? Also, what the hell has Rousseau been doing for 16 years that she has never found Otherville? Jesus woman get out once and a while.

Tonight's episode sounds like the best one yet.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 20, 2007 -> 04:43 PM) AJ grounds out to first. Fields singles to right. Anderson batting for Mackowiak. That's something I've never seen before. And he takes a 4 pitch walk. I believe I hear Ozzie swearing. Terrero flies out to a leaping CF. Inning over. Is Anderson the DH???????

I see him being traded to the Phillies for Jon Lieber.

Will this help Pods and base stealing as the catcher will not be able to see the base path from 1st to 2nd as clearly? Also will keep a pitcher from throwing up and away (semi pitch out). The cray thing is I wouldn't mind Iguchi batting third in this situation and Thome 5th. I don't know sounds like a goofy idea to me. Oz is the manager so I will defer to him.

Not quite sure what people that are tuning out expect from free tv. Sure it is no American Idol or Dancing with the Stars. The Locke thing is odd. He and Jack appear to the only people that are really suppossed to be there. I like how Kate keeps trying to be important. Could Jack have spent time in the Carl chair? Gotta tell you, it keeps me interested as much now as ever.

Phyiscally he was looking much better. The guy is big and will always be. If you were expecting Mike McDougal that wasn't going to happen. As for pitches. He seemed to go with his slider a-lot and I think this is a ptich they are working on with him. If he can throw this for strikes the guy will be unhittable. His curve is slow enough to supercede any type of change he could throw. I think his slider will allow him to sustain his stuff on consecutive days and 2 inning outings better. Also the guy is not going to hit 100 in March and maybe not April or early May hence the more pitches he can throw the better. I thought he looking good and did not expect anything more from him.

Ed Perez better make this f***ing team and he is hurt running a homerun trot. What the f***.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 14, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) Lets see how we do with situational hitting today. Great job K and dribbler by our 4 and 5 hitters. Mid-season form. 3-1

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 14, 2007 -> 01:42 PM) I thought Phillips was out of options? Can anyone confirm that? I believe he is out of options next year which makes him easier to move this year for something worth while.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 14, 2007 -> 11:56 AM) Eh, it may be the overwhelming soxtalk consensus that anderson is 100% the best choice, but I still have my doubts. This wouldn't have been an issue if anderson had not looked so atrocious at the plate last year. That's why I'm just gonna sit back and hope that the organization, which is much, much more informed on all factors for this decision, will make the best choice. Actually, that's why I'm curious to see what his numbers were post AS break in 'clutch' situations because even though he was batting about .250 (I think?), I'm having trouble recalling if he had any relevant hits (and I have bad memory). You gotta remember the guys before and after him weren't really a threat to produce as well. I fail to see how Anderson would feel the heat less than Uribe who had a terrible year defensivly and offesively and had much greater expectations. He was going to hit in the 2 hole. He seemed to get off easy while Anderson and McCarthy were the whipping boys.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Mar 14, 2007 -> 11:50 AM) Because they are in May? Summer = June, July & August. Summer runs from June 20something until September 20something. Now meterological summer, well that is a whole other story. Doesn't KC come to the cell about 9 times a season as well as Tampa and KC both averaging between 90-100 losses. Gotta be the Sox once again trying to screw the fans though. Damn them.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Mar 14, 2007 -> 09:11 AM) It's because it will be billed as an East versus West matchup. The intro screen will be two boxing gloves that come together and cause an explo... Wait...I think that's been done before, but it didn't involve Japan. Oh, and for the record, I really hope Dice-K in Boston is the biggest, most expensive bust in history -- not sure why...but Boston annoyed me with all the cash the dumped on a guy that's never pitched in the majors. That, combined with the mega-hype surrounding him and his non-existant "gyroball", that guy just irks me...and I was happy to see him get smashed last week. Stark (I am drawing a blank on his first name) on ESPN Radio called him the offseason move with the most impact thsi morning. I was waiting for him to say the Fonz was. He also said the Tigers are the best team in baseball. Well he said the AL and the NL he said watch out for the Reds so I guess the Tigers would have to be the best in baseball. The Indians were his other team. Well the season is ova for us Sox Fans.

QUOTE(shoota @ Mar 13, 2007 -> 11:14 PM) The Sox should just operate as a non-profit company, aiming to break even every year. Pass the savings along to the fans with cheaper seats, concessions, parking, etc. They basically do. The ownership of the team puts most of the revenue back into the team. It cost money to run an organization so if you give everything away or at the lowest possible price the funds to run the organization are lower and the product is weaker. This thread is mind numbing. The designation of game is based on what the demand for the game is and the price is set to maxium the profit from that specific game. The team they are playing has a minor impact, unless it is the Yankees, cubs or Red Sox. People b**** and moan about wanting a higher payroll and then b**** and moan about having to support it. This is not the f***ing federal government. You SHOULD pay more to see a Saturday game in July as oppossed to a Wednesday afternoon in April. That is simple economics that a 4th grader could understand and a very smart way to maximize your profits.
