DBAHO

To bring in more Asian supporters to the Cell. He hasn't even pitched at home yet, and some of u guys r givin up on him. It's his 1st year, giv him till the end of April, if he still sucks, call him Rick White.

And it's taken more than a year and a half to do so, wow that is a long time. Congrats Alex.

Fairly happy, my hitters didn't hav a good week, especially Pay-Rod.

American Idol, doesn't matta for me since I can still watch it every week.

Hav a good 1 Loaiza! Hav a great 16th!

He's got the best stuff, he just needs to put it all together. His breakin ball pitches need improvin.

They mite be tryin Ryan Kohlmeier as a starter down there instead of Pacheco. Majewski with 3 K's in 1 inning looked good. Only 2 hits though, Borchard got 1.

Does any1 know what has happened to Aboz's Member Title? It says he's retired, any1 know what's up with that? Just curious, since I saw it on one of his posts.

Rauch - #1 starter down in Charlotte. Prob. will be trade bait later on in the season for a guy like Cabrera if he doesn't hav a really good 1. Diaz - Great fastball, some ppl think his long term future is in the pen. Stewart - Only lefty in rotation, which could help him. Never pitched in Charlotte before this season, but has major league experience. One to keep an eye on throughout the season. Pacheco - Relieved in his 1st outing I think, but is prob. still the 5th starter. Ended up a very good trade gettin him from Colorado for Sandy Alomar Jr. Out of all 5, I think he's the least likely to be called up, unless he has another Birmingham type season from last year. Grilli - Excellent 1st outing, Sox definitely saw sumthin in him to keep him around. I'd say if we need a replacement for Danny Wright in the 5th spot in the rotation, so far it'd be either Rauch or Grilli, unless they giv it to Adkins or Cotts.

Great idea Jason, I know a lot of ppl will hav a lot of questions bout our minor league prospects.

A THAI boy who was partially raised by a dog was found dead at a welfare centre where he had been taken for protection, police and welfare officials said today. Two-year-old Prateep Chumnoon made headlines in the Thai media last year when he was taken from his impoverished 60-year-old grandmother who regularly left him in the care of her pet. The toddler's body was discovered early Sunday morning inside a high plastic container used for laundry at a welfare centre in the southern Thai province of Nakhon Si Thammarat, local police said. Welfare officials reportedly removed Prateep from his grandmother's care after neighbours alerted them that the boy had began making dog, rather than human, sounds. "She left him at home with the dog while she went out for work," chief provincial welfare officer, Theerasak Kwanphet said. Theerasak said an internal investigation had been ordered into the boy's death. A police spokesman said the boy had died from injuries that might have been caused by a fall into the container. "We are investigating as doctors do not know yet whether his death was accidental or not," the police spokesman said.

Nor both of u for postin in da 1st place.

Adkins won't make it as a starter, at least not here where U.S Cell is a hitter's park. I agree that Wright's long term future should be out of the pen, but we shouldn't giv up on him afta 1 start. I'm also very comfortable with leavin Cotts and Adkins in da pen, if Shoe struggles, I think KW will make a trade for a starter very soon.

Some of our minor - league pitchers hav had really good 1st outings, nice to see B-Mac following da trend.

He's DBAH0's Sleeper Prospect of 2004.

Good experience for them wasn't it, unless u hav sum1 like Cosmo Kramer standin on the dugout gettin hit by a baseball.

Hmmm Vasquez is a 20 game winner on that team, Brown too if he stays injury free. Mussina I'd be worried about a lil more, and they need Contreas to be more consistent this year which is unlikely. But guys like Pay - Rod hav had really bad starts, so they'll definitely come around.

It's only the second week of the season so I wouldn't say 30 HR's and 100 RBI's is a lock yet. Plus Pro Player Stadium is hardly a hitter's park.

Is he a lottery pick Spiff?

I've hope u've BEEN GOOD during ur time away.

My man Adam Scott didn't make the cut. I think Ernie Els will win though only 3 shots down.

Very pleased to see Buerhle get on the board, deserved a win in KC, gets one here. Maggs has started like a house on fire.

I can definitely live with 6 years $68 million. I think Vlad Guerrero got a 6 year $90 million contract. Maggs is not injury prone like Vlad though, so I think this is a very, very good deal for the White Sox. If this goes down, I've got no doubt, sumthin will happen with one of outfielders e.g Borchard, Anderson.

Trade Valentin while his value is still relatively high. A team like Boston who needs middle infielders might take a chance on him, KW should make it into a 3 way deal, to get Kata or Hairston from Arizona, or Figgins or Amazenga from Anaheim. Uribe is cheap, not arbitration elgible for bout 2 years I think, and has a lot of talen. He didn't hit .300 for nothing ya know.

I still think his long term future is in the pen, he's got a great fastball though. Electric stuff.
