QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 01:25 PM) Should Ozuna have gotten that? Kind of sounded like it on the radio. didnt really look like it to me, but i wasnt watching that closely... maybe with a dive he would have had a chance

Nice inning, now lets put a crooked number on the board!

Cuban Missile! wow.

Go get 'em Danks! I believe that I heard someone on the pregame say that today is Danks birthday? All the more reason to throw a great game!

I know that Moustache sure needs a statue!

come on late inning joe! lets see some magic!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 09:42 PM) A's should really walk AJ here. i'd be surprised if he gets a good pitch... haha, i guess thats the quick way to walk him!

alright, lets go AJ... first and third him!

"trot paulie trot" haha, thats a good sign.

Boooooone! way to clean up after MacDougal. Now someone run into a pitch and tie this game up!!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 09:09 AM) Not against a junkballer like Rogers. Yeah, I wouldnt be surprised if we see Ramirez get a start soon... but not today. But maybe next time we face a fastball pitcher.

Sent in my list, I'll be interested to see how this thing turns out. Personally, I tried to steer clear of putting more than one film from a single series in the list. I think the big winner of my list ended up being Bill Murray, quite a few movies with his touch were included.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 05:07 PM) Sure, they wanted to break them up. But when a team is batting barely .200 against lefties, throw all you got out there! You can always change the order up again in a week or two with the days off or rained out games yet to come. Yeah, I'd be surprised if Buehrle and Danks are back to back in the order for very long. Who knows, it might only be for this one start.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 04:06 PM) That was going to be automatic. If players and managers were allowed to say whatever they feel about umpires without penalty, umpires safety would be in danger. There are a lot of sickos out there. Ozzie knew he would be fined. I think he said it so the league would put Cuzzi's crew on White Sox games as little as possible. Kinda on that topic, does anyone know exactly how Ump crews are assigned to games? Is there a set rotation or are they assigned as the season goes on? I've always been kinda curious about that and never asked anyone.

I like this move, not only does it give Mark a little extra rest... but also sets up some more favorable match ups for the pitching staff over the week or so.

I guess the silver lining of tonight is that both the Tigers and KC lost. I know its far, far too early to care... but because of the wonderful Chicago weather... its all we've got tonight. (well, that and the Masters )

QUOTE (G&T @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 08:48 AM) Illegal satellite dishes if I recall. I was in Nicaragua with the Peace Corps (briefly, had to come home for medical reasons) and was surprised how easy it was to watch US sports (especially the MLB). Seemed like every bar down there had a satellite, I never asked about the legality of them but it wouldn't have surprised me one bit if they were 'pirate satellite users'. Im sure the case in Cuba is very similar. Pretty cool that this is the first Cuba vs Cuba game, I hope that Alexei gets into the game as well (although Im not so sure we'll see much of our bench since they all got in a couple of ABs last night).

QUOTE (Wedge @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) I'll be in CA all summer, so I thought about getting that. Is it $15 for the whole summer? Yep, $15 for the whole season. I did it a couple years back... No complaints. just go to the MLB website and click on "gameday audio" by any of the game scores to sign up.

With the camera angle I thought it was foul for sure.... It was a "nooooo, yes!" moment.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 05:07 PM) it's pure idiotic to have Uribe in there over Quentin. Quentin should be LF, Swisher in CF, and Ramirez at 2B... Yeah, Im pretty surprised by this lineup. I do wonder if maybe the Sox don't want to give Quentin an every day starting job for a while b.c of his shoulder. I know he looks fully healed to all of us, maybe they are just siding with caution though. On another note, I wonder how short Uribe's leash is. To me, he really isn't looking like he turned any corners this offseason... if Alexei starts to do better with the time he is given I would love to end up seeing him and Ozuna splitting time at 2b/ backing up the left side of the IF which would allow Quentin to take over a starting role in LF.

Gotta go with the Bullpen on this one. A good bullpen can help keep you in games when a SP struggles, or can shut the door when you have a lead. If our BP is as good as it looks right now we will be able to win a lot of ballgames.

Something tells me that after that first start, Buehrle will be ready to go! Im feeling good about our chances tomorrow.

In a perfect world I think Owens would replace Ramirez and then Alexei could get every day ABs at AAA until he is more prepared for the MLB (whether its here or in AAA I really think Alexei needs regular ABs). But we cant only carry one IF backup, so unless the Sox are going to send down Alexei and Anderson and then add Owens and another IFer, I dont see it working out that way. Personally, I think if we continue to win Owens will end up staying in AAA. But if we falter he will replace Anderson.

Didnt get to see today's game (was out taking advantage of the weather getting in my first round of golf for the year), but I am really, really pleased with the outcome. Love to see Floyd having a good start to the season! From the box score it looks like it was an exciting game.
