Wish I could have found you

Jim, that is a big jump for 2005 as you noted. I guess the next question would be where would you play him? Let him play in the minors for awhile. They can take there time with he and Sweeney. I wouldn't want these kinds coming up and sitting on the bench. The sox will need to address Borchard and Reed first. See you wensday

from the sox web site Fans should arrive at the ballpark early to avoid traffic. Tailgating is permitted in Lots A - F, which open two hours before game time. Gates to the ballpark also will open two hours prior to game time.

I have never seen the lots open at 9am, but who knows maybe this time they will.

I agree. He did, Even Posada had to bouble check. Migual Walked away to fast.

matsui got to the ball well, but back to my other point. I have no confidence konerko can score from second. Matsui saved a run.

can konerko score from second? God is he slow. Nice hit though. bernie Williams looks like he is done. He looks like grandpa out there.

If Jon can continue with first pitch strikes he will be good. That has been his problem , same with Wright. Danny throws lots of pitches walks alot.

Anyone interested in dropping Valentin in the order until he begins to hit again? Move Rowand or in this case, Perez to the 2 spot. Valentin should have bunted, he is not hitting and he could have moved a man over.

Steff, What time do you get started? I park in Lot B as my passes are for A, B and C. Any way I will park and Walk over. I have the company seats that day as I am taking clients. Not as good as my own seats, but free. Sold mine so i made out on this one. I can drop over for a quick drink and then I will need to meet my client.

I agree there are three things I would have changed. 1) Put in Olivo as a defensive replacement. 2) Don't let Politte come back out. He pitched his inning and a third and did a nice job. 3) I actually would have kept koch in to pitch to matt Stairs. Believe it or not. I saw the way Marte ended spring training and he got rocked. Soemthing is not right with him right now. Its almost as if Ozzie panicked at the end. You were two outs away from winning the game 7-4. This has stick with them and they will now be looking over there shoulder when they have a lead in the ninth.

I assume you won't read this. But i am so sorry you are sad. Please try not to hold it against me. i will try to be more positive next time. s*** we have won so much in the last 40 years. God what a great season that 2000 season was, something to build on. I guess that is why nobody shows up at the park. Everyone must be like me..oops I do show up at the park. The point being, you can indeed be a fan watch games and post notes but you do not have to be a total idiot homey. many people on this board felt this coming today, i posted what I felt. Listen to the post game I am sure I am not the only one thinking the way I am thinking. Remember your no longer reading my posts.

you mean a guy who is not 18, a realist, a baseball fan for 32 years, a sox dumb ass season ticket holder. yea its a blast, as you get older you realize things, like not listening to anouncers and the press play up what is not there. Analyzing things for yourself. Doesn't mean I am not a fan, it means I am not some Dumb ass blinded by people trying to sell me soemthing that is not there. The royals have our number, the sox looked like they were waiting to implode. There was nowhere to go in the pen. Ozzie left pollitte in too long because he doesn't have much else. I went to spring training and Saw amrte implode repeatedly. I saw Koch implode, Shingo not getting anyone out. Look at the bullpen stats this spring. This will continue. Royals are not scared of us. We had a chance today to show them we are big time contenders. We could have sent a message. PS - Loizia looked like s*** in the spring as well.

no I figure 0-6 or 1-5, doesn't matter who the manager is.

0-6

agreed, he is driving me nuts

Doesn't matter who the manager is. The Sox are s*** against KC They won't win a division like this. They are absolutley stunned. they are done

Well, there it goes, here comes the first sox debacle

Any reason why Olivo is not in as a defensive replacement

I agree He will have one more inning for sure, and maybe will pitch into the seventh. from there its a crap shoot. KC is tough in the late innings. Lets get that run back.

My biggest fear is when they pull buehrle, and put in shingo or koch. I remember last year when koch came in and got completely lit up against KC in the opening series. You can tell that Mark is getting tired. HR and now the first walk.

why are people so stupid?

you are by me now. I will look. At spring training now. I will ping you when I get back.

I saw wunch pitch today. He did fine. I don't think we need to worry

Hi Steff, Long time no see. Right now I am at spirng training getting ready to see the Sox and giants today. I am attending opening day, but I am bringing clients for this one. I will try to stop by and say Hi.
