Btw, the horrendous STANLEY sign at the Cell is also at the HumpDome, and at Arlington

Texas 4 - Indians 0 Tigers 5 - Bluejays 1 Twins 4 - Mariners 2

2-0 texas

5-1 tigers on an inge HR

Texas takes the lead 1-0 over the Tribe Carmona has ZERO control of his fastball (watching the game on mlb.tv)

Cloggin' up the bases, all the live-long day. 2 on, 0 outs for King Konk

Mariners tie it up, 2-2

Don't mind my in-thread game updates for the other AL Central games Detroit tacks on another, 4-1 Tribe/Rangers still tied 0-0 2-0 Twins over M's, crede just misses a sharp line-drive down the line (He's also 0-1)

Here comes the turtle-squad.

2-0 twins, 3-1 tigers, tribe game tied 0-0

quentin has looked god-awful in all of his at-bats so far

tcq can't seem to read the inside heat too well

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 07:06 PM) Some sort of moving fastball is an addition to Gavin's arsenal this year. sinker+curveball=lots of groundball outs at least, i hope so

um since when did Gavin offer a sinking fastball?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) he's absolutely worthless...there are almost an unlimited number of players in independent leagues and AAA that could do the same job as him. And he's starting in CF and batting leadoff. It's absolutely god awful. i'm fine with this organizations scouting of pitching, but hitting.. well that leaves a lot to be desired, some ridiculous choices over the years outside of Beckham

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) Any rotation with Sidney Ponson and Horacio Ramirez in it is really that bad. the same could be said for lewis + reyes, or hell, the entire detroit rotation behind verlander is just... wow, porcello+gallaraga, really Dombrowski? that sounds like desperation to me

sox > twins > royals > indians > tigers i think the royals rotation isn't really that bad

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 12:31 PM) He's 2-3 with a 4.86 career ERA against the Sox. 15 K's vs. 12 BB's in 33 innings; a 1.59 WHIP. And we have a .308 batting average against him. Ignore the stats, he man-handles us! lol Do people check things before they post them?

Kenny is building his lottery team for Reinsdorf. Oh wait....

72-75 (1 voter is me!) i think our pitching staff will be average, probably a bit below average (Danks @ 3.6+ ERA, Mark @ 4.3~), Floyd putting up a 4.5 ERA, Colon/Contreras/Marquez/Richard (They'll all pitch this year, it'll be musical chairs in 4th and 5th spots) posting a combined ERA of around 5-ish offense will once again be homerun-or-nothing, except Dye and Thome won't hit 35+ (I'm guessing Dye sits around 28-30, and Thome around 25-27)and will ultimately score a very very average number of runs given they play 82 in the bandbox Thome will miss a significant amount of games due to an injury, to either his back or abdomen I can see a few veteran players (Dye, Konerko) being dealt at the deadline for more "Impact Players"

looking at melky's numbers over the last 3 seasons (2006, 2007, 2008, 2005 was a 6-game season for him, doesn't count), .329 OBP (has declined every year since 2006), .374 SLG (.703 OPS), hitting .267 I seriously believe BA could more/less mirror those numbers (maybe raise the SLG, lower AVG) yeah i went there

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 22, 2009 -> 05:42 PM) They offered him the same deal and he passed. Anyone see the Sox going back and offering him another deal? Not gonna happen

BA or Fields leading off = LOL The fact that this is even a consideration by Guillen says a hell of a lot.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) If we had Edmonds, then I would hope Edmonds would be an everyday Centerfielder, and that Wise can be subbed in at LF/CF/RF whenever he's needed. Not that hard of a concept because Anderson shouldn't be anywhere near the everyday line-up, he should be in AAA. Without Edmonds, then I'd rather have Wise as the everyday CF'er with Anderson only being used as a late-inning defensive replacement. After 2006, the Sox should never give Anderson another shot again. wow

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 03:22 PM) According to Cowley Contreras was sitting between 90 and 93 for that first inning. holy s***
