Flash Tizzle

Hope Dylan doesn't mind me copying the recap: ---------------------------------------------------------- Viva Magglio! WSC Recap - By Mike Matha - 4/15/04 The White Sox, in front of 15,150 fans looked to sweep, and win their fourth straight against the Kansas City Royals. Mark Buehrle took the hill for the Sox, and while he was solid for 5 innings, he hit a bump in the road in the top of the sixth with a 5-2 lead. Despite Buehrle's sixth inning struggles, the Sox bullpen held strong as the White Sox came on to win 6-5 in 10 innings. Unlike the first two games of the series, the Kansas City Royals struck first in the top of the first with a Carlos Beltran solo home run to left field. However, that was before the Sox had a chance to take their first swings. In the bottom of the first, the Sox came back hard and took the lead 2-1 when things were all said and done in the first. Juan Uribe led the Sox off with a double to right, and was scored one batter down in the order when Jose Valentin did his best Uribe impression, doubling to right. Magglio Ordonez moved Valentin into third, and was driven in by a Carlos Lee sacrifice fly to center field. One inning later, Aaron Rowand hit his first long ball of the season (1), to left, putting the Sox up 3-1. Kansas City later tapped Buehrle in the fourth when Juan Gonzalez hit a solo home run to right field, inching closer 3-2. In the fifth, the White Sox put two more runs on the board, giving them a 5-2 lead. Magglio Ordonez singled with two outs to set up Frank Thomas' first home run (1) of the season, a two run shot to left center. Buehrle was chased in the sixth after giving up 3 more runs, allowing Kansas to tie the game at 5. Buehrle lasted 6 innings, giving up 7 hits, 5 ER, 2 BB, 7 SO, and surrendering 2 HR. In that sixth inning, Carlos Beltran led off with a walk, was moved to second after Sweeney singled to Center, and made his way to third on a sac fly off the bat of Juan Gonzalez. Beltran came around to score one batter later on a single to center from Joe Randa, which also moved Sweeney to second. With two outs, Jose Santiago doubled to deep left, scoring both Randa and Sweeney, tying the game at 5. Buehrle finished the inning, and was relieved by Mike Jackson in the 7th. Jackson, who is yet to give up an ER, pitched 2 hitless, and scoreless innings, allowing the White Sox chances to win it late in the game. The scoring action didn't resume until the bottom of the 10th when Magglio Ordonez hit a game winning solo home run (4) over the left field wall, to put the White Sox up 6-5. Marte earned the win after pitching 2 scoreless innings. The Sox will travel to Tampa Bay tomorrow for a 6:15 win. Danny Wright looks for his first win of the season.

No, its correct.

David Gilmour Too easy

Direction of the equator: they point S in the N hemisphere; they point N in the S hemisphere

Guido Evertime I hear somebody called that name I think of the stereotypical Italian: Short, high pitched voice, obsessed with restoring family values and showcasing the Italian flag on every item of cloting. I'm part Italian so I'm allowed to say it!

Nobody can top my dumbest moment. 8th Grade: Art teacher b****es at me for belching during class. Shes says "Excuse Me....." and I just stood there silent. "That's alright, come with me,"lady says. Brings me down to the office and yells that I was disrespectful to herself/classmates and disobedient to her request. Principal says either I can write a letter of apology to my art teacher or serve three days detention. I figure I'll just bulls*** and say I'm sorry, so I agree to write the damn letter. Next day in school I write a rather derrogatory letter (as a joke) during Social Studies to show my friends. I had no plans of turning it in, because in the letter it said I wanted to "paint her naked body" and called her a "whiney skank" among other things. (I was young and immature. At the moment it seemed right). Show it to my friends and they start laughing their asses off. Here comes my social studies teacher to see what the commotion is about. She takes the letter from my friend and is appaled by what I wrote. Immediately she exists the room and comes back with the principal. He tells me I'm in "deep s***" (in front of the class) and escorts me out. This was post-Columbine so teachers were uptight and unwilling to downplay the contents of the letter In the office is my art teacher crying her eyes out and several of my teachers are consoling her. I felt like such an asshole for doing it. My punishment: couldn't attend 8th grade class trip, any future dance, had a 5 day suspension, AND was kicked off the Track and Field team. Come back to school, every guy thinks I'm the s*** and every girl thinks I'm scum. This label stuck.........until NOW. Unbelievably, even my high school teachers got word of the incident. Freshman year I had my math teacher (a cool lady) ask me what happened last year that made every teacher hate me. Apparently, there was a coalition that made several phone calls warning how bad of a person I was. Thats why when I apply for a job in law enforcement, and a background check has to be run, I'm going to run into trouble. DAMN, didn't realize I would type this long of a message. Like I said, it was pretty f***ing stupid of me to do. Dumbest.......thing.......ever.

Whats best about this win is how well Damaso pitched. Sure the line wasn't quality DamasOWNED, but he's beginning to regain confidence. When he ended the 9th with a K and pumped his fist it assured me of better days to come. His breaking ball was snapping and his fastball was normal range (93-94). Was a little surprised when I saw a 97 mph flash across the screen in the 9th. The FSN radar. appear consistent all game so I have to believe he reached back a little. Onward to the juice box for a three game set. Danny Wright needs to keep this modest win streak going. :fthecubs

Give me a f***ing break! This guy knows every pitch our guys throw. 1-0 KC. Won't last long though.

One K, 11 to go for Buehrle. one out.

For anything less then a no hitter, Buehrle shouldn't exceed the 105 pitch count today. Buehrle (like Garland) threw more than 115 pitches his last outting. We may not have faith in our bullpen, but its very Cublike to over work your pitcher at the beginning of the season.

12 K's? I don't think any of our starters have had more than 4 K's in one game. For the 8.5 runs , that will come down eventually. With the s***ty bullpen, the Sox might have to score that much to win Lets go white sssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!

Any word on attendance? Haven't found a figure, but it looked dismal.

This is great! "I guarantee I'll hit high 90's by the all star break." Botch even called "BS" on Mike North because he thought the pitches which were hit out of the park were right down the middle.

Botch has balls. He's on the score right now. Says Ozzie still has confidence in him as his closer. He's taking questions from callers right now.....I hope someone rips him to shreds. Listening to him talking about hitting his spots and having good velocity makes me f***ing puke! He acts as if giving up long balls to Beltran and Sweeney was an abberation.

God is sending us another message that says "Botch sucks." We all knew it before, but due to his infinite wisdom he proved to all non-believers what us faithful have known forever; Botch implodes during pressure situations, and without his 99 mph fastball he's useless!

Bullpen. But there's nothing we can do about it at this point. Any GM willing to trade will exploit our situation, and most likely KW will get duped into giving up too much. Williams was confident going into this season that Koch would "rebound" and infact the bullpen could be better than last year. What a f***ing joke.

You're not human.... I was screaming at my TV when Koch gave up both home runs to Beltran and Sweeney. Thoguht there was no way Sox would win this, it seemed too perfect that the "never die" Royals make another comeback

sox win 10-9...... but botch still sucks.

This thread should be included in the Hall of fame. It will probably be funny as hell for someone to take the time and read through this. I must of changed my mind 10 or 11 times on whether they will win or lose.

WHAT A LUCK BREAK!!!!! That ball feel fair by one inch.

Bases loaded NO OUTS. How can the Sox not score atleast ONE run? Don't be blinded by a win (if we do), BOTCH blew it.

Full count. LEE!!!!!!!!

Clee, win this game for..........well, adkins. THINK SINGLE>

C-lee, think small.

Are the Sox going to need to score 10 runs to win every game?
