LOL, I don't like that whole go back in time thing either.

Honel only pitched 4 innings, only gave up 2 hits but 3 runs. Had 3 BB's and 7K's, not the worst outing. Bull pitched 1.2 innings and gave up 1 run with 2 BB's and 1K.

One of Roberts or Hairston will be traded, I'd actually prefer Hairston but he's injury prone. I'd absolutely luv Vidro but there's no chance of that happenin, unless we gave up a stud prospect. Otha possibilities mayb Scott Hairston and Matt Kata from Arizona or Freddy Sanchez from Pittsburgh.

Just finished watchin da game on Fox Sports, Twinkies Bullpen is in BIG trouble. Silva pitched well for 5 innings, and then the Tiggies startin killin him. Makes me laugh though how their fans are gettin all excited.

Exactly, u guys crack me up. A dynasty? Tiggies here to stay? LMFAO, puh-lease we ain't even out of the 1st week yet.

Rauch #1 starter down there, not much of a suprise. Suprised not to see Hankins not startin though.

If Harris keeps goin like this can any1 say Junior Spivey? Anyways I think Jose should not be in the #2 spot at all, he strikes out way too much. I'd giv Rowand a shot in the #2 spot 1st, because Lee's been very productive so far in the #5 hole, and I'd almost give Joe Crede a chance before Lee if Rowand falters.

THREE Japanese hostages have been taken in Iraq by militia who are threatening to kill them within three days unless the Japanese government pulls its troops out. Footage of the was been aired by the Al-Jazeera satellite television channel, their captors calling themselves the "Mujahedeen Brigades", a previously unknown group. The Qatar-based television aired soundless video of the trio and their passports, adding that an accompanying statement had given Tokyo three days to meet its demands. Other reports of eight South Koreans being taken hostage also came in from Iraq. One reportedly later escaped, foreign ministry sources in the South Korean capital Seoul said. A coalition official in Iraq also admitted a British civilian has been kidnapped this week in the southern Iraqi town of Nasiriya. Nasiriya has been the scene of heavy fighting between radical Shiite militiamen and Iraqi troops. The official has named the man as Gary Teeley Teeley, a British contractor. He was abducted on Tuesday and has not been heard of since. Efforts are apparently underway to locate him. Earlier a senior MP from Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party told the Kyodo News Agency that he had been told by the government that three Japanese had been detained in Iraq. Japan's Foreign Ministry has set up an emergency operations room. Japan has sent several hundred ground troops to Iraq on a non-combat mission to help rebuild the country. Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has been one of the strongest backers of the US-led invasion of Iraq, a stance that has raised concern Japanese troops could be targeted by insurgents in that country.

Hopefully we can take advantage of their misfortune.

5 hours til gametime, and I'm goin to stay up and catch the play by play. Hopefully Shoe pitches well today against Vasquez, although I'm not confident at all on that.

Exactly rite, hopefully this will teach them a lesson. Big hole in the lineup now with Mauer and LeCroy out, most ppl thought Minny would get off to a fast start with their easy schedule, this mite slow em down a bit.

Nice avatar.

Plus he's walkin afta this season, hence why they now want Manning, othawise they prob would hav picked Gallery.

Don't think so, they both went to different colleges.

Hope all u guys hav a blast on openin day. I wanna hear lots of stories and see lots of pics.

I'd hav the White Sox play the Twinkies in the 1st 2 games of the year down here in Melbourne, Australia just like the Yanks and D-Rays do in Japan.

Betta them then guys on our team.

All we need now is that guy from Happy Gilmour puttin him off every time he goes in to hit.

Just like the NFL, he'll be unemployed soon enough, when the Giants trade up for Manning.

I thought u would say that. I actually think Danny Ainge mite be stupid enough to trade Pierce, if the Bulls offered their first rounder, it could seriously happen.

I get the Tigers vs Minny game tomorrow on Fox Sports at midday. Dunno if it's live or not, but it should be an interestin game to watch.

If the Bulls don't get the #1 pick, they'll trade out of it. I can see a 3 way deal b/w Orlando, Dallas and Chicago where Chandler goes to either Dallas or Orlando, and the Bulls get Jamison. Drew Gooden could be invovled in sumway possibly to Dallas, and the Bulls and Magic could swap draft picks so the Bulls could get Okafor. You won't get T-Mac, Iverson's a possibility, but I actually think he'll go to Atlanta if they can't get local boy Dwight Howard. They need to put butts in seats and "I don't practice" Iverson would do that.

How about The Bus that couldn't Slow Down?

3 a.m my time I think. It's Good Friday tomorrow, so I mite stay up and get the play by play.
