yeah! it feels good to be hovering around .500!!!!

   

That's exactly how I feel right now.

Good I see I didn't get up early for nothing. Great to see Garland pitched well.

Hey PA, thanks for stopping by the Main board!!! I didn't think you knew where it was!!

 

Long time, no see

This will no doubt be, Jon's breakout season. In any other year he's out of the gm by the 5th inning. But Ozzie showed tremendous faith in letting Jon pitch through his problems. He ended up pitchin a hell of a game...

Very good game today. I was especially impressed with:

 

-Our team defense, from various plays - Olivo's gun throwing out Matsui, our Valentin's range, Harris' ability to start and turn the double play, and I really liked seeing them talk out there; i.e. on the one play that was a tapper towards Paul Konerko, it was just out of the reach of Garland, Paully told him he'd get it, Jon hustled/sprinted right towards first and covered.

 

-Jon Garland's ability to get out of jams.

 

-Willie Harris did a solid job at the plate. He had some very good at bats, and was smart on the base paths.

 

-It was nice to see Jose Valentin get on track. Couple of walks, a hit, two runs scored, plus his solid defense.

 

-Magglio with some huge hits when he had RISP. The three run shot and the single to center.

 

-Konerko is hitting the ball hard right now - even if he is making some outs, he's hitting the ball real hard. Same goes for Lee, though I want Lee to be a little more patient, and to see him in the 2 hole.

 

-Good to see Crede go yard.

 

-Timo Perez, wow, very impressive game from him. Couple of hits, a walk, couple of runs scored.

 

-Olivo solid D and you can clearly see he is more comfortable at the plate.

 

There's more - but I was really impressed by our boys in black today. Go get 'em tommorow, Buerhle-mon!
