10-1 final. Wheels up tomorrow morning.

Ok, I'm going to make this very clear.... Spring training statistics mean nothing for the most part. But I will say this about Freddy Garcia: 1) He hasn't exactly lit it up the last four years. 2) His velocity is way down. That cannot be disputed. 3) Dan Hudson is a solid prospect IF---again IF---Freddy is bad (forget about the record) his first 6-8 starts, and Dan Hudson is everything he was last year his first 6-8 starts, I don't think they will hesitate to pull the plug on Freddy. If they think Hudson gives them a better chance to win, Freddy will be gone.

I said 'If" QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) Pretty irrelevant. Let's see how Freddy does in real games, and Hudson in AAA, before leaping into a decision.

If it's the middle of May and Freddy is 1-5, and Hudson is 5-1 in Charlotte, I don't think they'll hesitate to replace him.

Peavy starts tomorrow in Charlotte. The top four starters will all be pitching on five days rest for their first start.

What's up with PK?

Last game in Arizona. Tomorrow's split squad is all minor leaguers, with Scott Elarton starting for the Sox. 1. Juan Pierre LF 2. Gordon Beckham 2B 3. Carlos Quentin RF 4. Paul Konerko DH 5. Mark Kotsay 1B 6. Alex Rios CF 7. A.J. Pierzynski C 8. Omar Vizquel 3B 9. Alexei Ramirez SS Freddy on the hill.

Supposed to be perfect weather in Charlotte and Atlanta, Thursday-Saturday. If I was there, I'd be going.

SOX 90-72 Min 86-76 Det 78-84 KC 74-88 Cle 68-94

Sox win 2-0. 6 days...

Jenks trying to finish off a two inning save. 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

You couldn't do it at all home games, because nobody wants to wear black when it's 90 degrees. Also, unless it's a sellout, it would look dumb. Like I said, Game 163 was a special, one-time thing. Trying to duplicate that is a bad move. Especially on opening day. Wear what you want.

Good thing you used the commas.

Jenks strikes out the side.

Why the White Sox won the 05 World Series: Contreras, Buehrle, Garland, Garcia, and some luck that nobody should apologize for.

Jenks with a K on a nice curve.

Some wicked production values on whitesox.com

Quentin solo shot. 2-0, bottom 7.

That may be the worst pitch I've ever seen Beckham reach for.

I didn't even like the rolling blackout in the 08 playoffs. There was one blackout game, and that was September 30, 2008.

Are you serious about a blackout? Don't try to recreate a great moment. Plus if it's 65, nobody is going to want to wear all black. Dumb move.

Williams looking good against some lefties.

Gotta love the cameraman scanning for tail between innings.

I think the issue with Flowers is that he hasn't advanced far enough to hand him the keys next year with basically the same starting staff. His defense is a work in progress, and his hitting has regressed. I guess just see what happens this season and go from there. If AJ has a good season, I hope they give him a 2 year deal, and trade Flowers. Maybe Josh Phegley will go up the organizational ladder without Flowers there.
