QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 11:59 PM) He almost air-mailed a routine throw to 1B. Other than that, he just doesn't look real comfortable over there. But it's only been a couple games. I'm much more concerned with the offense as of right now. Yeah, he looks like he is playing 3rd for the first time. Had a couple off-target throws on routine plays, and just looked really stiff and awkward.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) Now you're just acting badly on purpose. I am just very surprised that Chris Rongey is on this site. I don't know of any media or sports figures or anyone who has a known name to ever be on a message board. Just surprised. I wonder if he ever mentions the site or anything we talk about specifically, haha.

I blame Southsider2k5. Warrior started opening day, and we won.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) He's Ranger, you didn't know that? lol, what?

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) Well, he's a member of Soxtalk. lol, what?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) At least Kotsay's hitting them in the air this game Agreed. I was sick of seeing him slamming it into the right side of the infield killing worms.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) I like him.. What I cant stand is Hawk continually saying "snab".. its SNAG!!! nice snag, not nice snab It's a mixture of "snag" and "stab". Snab! or "Stag!"

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) I was going to post the same thing. GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!!! My bad....

QUOTE (beautox @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) williams in FYI, Leslie Anderson is gone too (referring to your signature)

Yes, I do. He was great in that role last year, but I don't want to see him starting for us 3-4 times a week. I would much prefer Andruw Jones to be starting, regardless of handedness of the pitcher.

I would let him start the next inning. What is he at, like 93 pitches?

Eh erm, Rios would have had it.....just saying....

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 06:52 PM) Is there any kind of home plate celebration after the game winning homer? Yep. After Castro hit it, and it went out. They showed him jumping in the air going to 1st, getting a big high five at 1st, and then when he came home he ditched his helmet, and jumped into a crowd of Sox players waiting for him at home. It's cool.

Joined. I noticed Chris Rongey is on there. lol what?

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 01:10 PM) Holy s*** if this gets postponed i'll die. Being at school I basically only see the games on WGN, please playyyyyyyy Same here, I only get to see WGN games here at school.

Just had the most epic game ever. Game 4 of the season vs. Twins. I go into the bottom of the 9th down 2 runs. I get the first two runners on. I then get a sac fly at the CF wall that allows both runners to advance two bases because it was Pierre and Beckham on the bases, and the CF fell down making the catch into the wall. Cut the lead down to 1, and then scored on a sac fly to tie it. The game went into the 15th inning with the same score. Then Jason Kubel homers in the top of the 15th to give the Twins a 7-6 lead. I was content w/ losing at this point because it is 3 AM, and I have class in the morning. After I get 1 out in the bottom of the 15th, Andruw Jones steps up and jacks a HR to tie it. S.O.A.B. So then Ramon Castro comes up (he replaced Omar Vizquel who was pinch-running for AJ) and hits the WALK OF HOME RUN. I won the game on back-to-back jacks, with the replacement player hitting the HR. It was sweet. I am just glad the game is over and I can finally go to sleep!

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 09:30 PM) Actually, Beckham does get some national exposure already. He's been on Scott Van Pelt Show a couple times. He's been on Mike and Mike. Harold Reynolds mentions him whenever he can, and they predicted he would be the 2B of this decade. If the Sox get in the playoffs, and he plays well, then the sky is the limit as far as his fame. I agree. Beckham has been getting mucho love from the media. But he still remains largely unpopular in the fanbases methinks.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) Sadly, I'm waiting for the one with the pitch edits (or at least the one with all the Minor Leaguers with proper faces). Meh. I don't really care to wait any longer. Some Sox mistakes I noticed..... "SP John Ely got traded to the Dodgers in the Juan Pierre this past offseason. 3B Joe Crede is placed in Class-A, even though he is still a Free Agent. 1B Dayan Viciedo should actually be listed as a 3B, with 1B as his secondary position, not the other way around. RP Matt Thornton added a CUTTER this spring training. Considering he throws his fastball at 97-98, his cutter probably comes in around 91-92 SP Daniel Cabrera should be RELEASED. He is no longer on the team." I was told that Cabrera and Crede are on the minor league teams for reasons that they didn't have enough minor leaguers to create. You can simply release them from your franchise. I manually made the other chances, plus increased Morel's defense rating (they gave him like a 45. Wtf?), and make Mitchell and Thompson faster, as well as giving Beckham a little more power and increased his horrible base-running ability. Also increased the velocities and K-rates on Santos. Increased K-Rate on Hudson too.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) I've had 4 f***ing homeruns stolen from me in a matter of 2 weeks. It's driving me insane. Really? I have only had 1 robbed, and it was Maggs robbing Pierre.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) http://twitpic.com/1doolr That's why they're on radio. Holy s***, which is which? Or rather, I would like to know who the one is talking.

Holy s***! Were your seats IN the dugout? You were like 2 feet away from Beckham when he was on deck....wow.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:42 AM) http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=2112489 Yeah, I checked the other right after I posted this. Should have obviously checked the other one first.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:44 AM) How would we rank Rios as a CF in the AL, MLB? 2nd in the AL, first in the MLB. That's just how good he is.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) God do I hate ESPN. Nomar said on Baseball Tonight that there is good diversity in their lineup. He said we have a great thing at the top of the order with Alexei Ramirez. He also said "Juan Pierre, who is great in that 2-hole." Then Bobby Valentine said that Beckham will remind people a ton of Nomar, and that he'll bring up the bottom of the order. Ack. I just made a thread about this. Whoops, my bad.
