I hope Podsednik isn't hurt or ailing. Why would you put Timo in for him in left field?

let's get through the seventh before we worry about the eighth or ninth. Freddy, they got you a run. Breath deep and enjoy it. Timo as a defensive replacement?

All B.S. aside, what are our other options at 3B? It's time to start thinking about that. Joe is getting worse, not better.

well, maybe one next month. bring back Herbert Perry

how about one RBI per month Joe?

All I know is that sox fans used to hate AJ, too. Whenever Hunter is a free agent, I'd love to see him bring his glove and bat to 35th and Dan Ryan

As long as the Twins have a healthy Hunter, Stewart, Santana, Radke, Nathan and Rincon, they are the team to beat. The Tigers are improved, no question. But Percival has worn down the last few seasons. Bonderman and Maroth aren't there yet. And Maggs has certainly suffered from a lot of strange afflications lately. Maybe the Tigers will be there. But I'd like to see them make it out of April with a winning record before they talk too much. As for Dmitri, he's not even the best hitter in his family.

no more ESPN games would be fine with me. this is a double curse cause they'll be getting into Cleveland at 3 in the morning (time change) for a day game. not good. thought they'd send Garcia down early, but I saw him sitting in the dugout. He should have flown out today if he is pitching tomorrow.

I know Corey Koskie. and, Michael Cuddyer, you're no Corey Koskie.

Not job by Iguchi, hitting with two strikes. I like that a lot.

It's only been 2 1/3 games, but the Twinkies don't look like the great defensive team they've been the last four years.

looks like we got a break. and Matty LeCroy is no Dougie Mieientitktiiiiexzytz at first base

be nice if we could get two more also be nice if we could get outta town without seeing Joey Nathan

punk this guy

A Row AJ Crede

let's roll up two with Castro

didn't get much pub in 2000 either. They'll come around.

10-4 on Sowers. can throw four pitches for strikes. He'll be with Cleveland by next season. He isn't overpowering. But he is smart and moves the ball around -- like Buehrle. In fact, they have the same agent.

don't forget Julio Ramirez. Or Mikey Caruso and the all-time leader: Jose Paniagua

Is Singleton back playing THIS season? Didn't he miss last year? Always thought he was a solid effort guy with the Sox.

Williams has made a number of solid moves He got Marte, Politte, Hermanson for nothing. Did a good job on the uribe trade. Made a nice move getting Garcia and, more importantly, resigning him for three years. Got Esty for nothing and turned him into Contreras, who was the guy everybody wanted a couple of years ago. Got AJ cheap. Got Dye for one third of the price of Magglio. He HAS made some bad deals in his tenure: Wells and Fogg for Ritchie; Foulke and friends for a burned out Koch; overpaying for Carl Everett a couple of times. Not having an alternative for Crede. But I like the fact that he really does seem as if he wants to win -- and does what he can under the financial restrictions set by Reinsdorf. We won't know how good this team is for a couple of months. But the thought process behind putting it together is sensible.

Thank you. I could always count on baseball america. but this year when I click on the scoreboard site it forwards me to another site. and the box scores don't load. Thanks for the assistance. Good to see strong pitching from McCarthy, Liotta and Gio Gonzalez in the first week.

Where can you find minor league box scores? Haven't been able to get them on minorleaguebaseball.com or baseballamerica.com can anybody help? Sounds like B Mac was dealing.

as long as Ozzie doesn't manage the pitching staff like every game is Game seven of the world series, we'll make it. I was there yesterday and it was beyond gruesome.
