April 19, 200421 yr Charlotte wins 8-6, grand slam for Nelson, homers also for Burke and Valenzuela, 3 hits for Reed. Can we close the book on Borchard yet?? Diaz 5 innings 5 earned runs, 2 nice innings for Wylie, save for Santiago, looks like Majewski let his closer chances fly out the window. http://milb.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnfor...px?GAMEID=14809
April 19, 200421 yr I saw Majewski in spring training, a game against the A's. Sox were winning by about 5 runs going into the 9th and Majewski just could not throw the ball over the plate. Guillen had to pull him out and let someone else get the job done ... if I remember correctly, the Sox held on to win 6-5, the bases were left loaded. Seems he hasn't harnessed his control for Charlotte either. In a way, I'm glad to see Santiago getting the chance because they Sox must have seen something in him they liked. He had a mediocre spring but may be able to help in case of injuries. As for Borchard ... yikes, .170, that is not good, even though it's very very early. The only good news, he only struck out once in five AB's . What would be the over/under on Reed's arrival in Chicago? Another 3 hits today.
April 19, 200421 yr I think Reed is in Chicago by the end of May. I think Reed should be the guy in our organization scouts call a god, not Sweeney.
April 19, 200421 yr I am really dissapointed about Borchard...... I mean this kid has everything you'd want in a prototypical out fielder.... just cant put it together. Here's hoping joe figures it out
April 19, 200421 yr Author Not sure why everyone says Borchard has it all, he is not fast, he does not have a real good arm, both categories are ok. He just has a slow bat and nothing is going to cure that. He may be a decent OF in majors someday, but doubt he is ever a starter, he cannot hit RH. THe list goes on and on, we just had our dreams I guess. I was not enthused after seeing him last ST (in Tucson 2003).
April 20, 200421 yr Barons win 3-1... no box yet. I just saw the Britney Spears video of her wearing a Barons cap...... think I got a woody.
April 20, 200421 yr Rex, you aught to invite her to catch a Barons game with you You don't think and 100 other ideas haven't already gone through my head? lol

April 20, 200421 yr You get her out their, and Ill be on my way to Birmingham You and a sell out crowd... Now there is a promo for Chicago. Britney Night

April 20, 200421 yr We want to SELL tickets, not scare people Damn, their goes me bringing you as my guest
April 20, 200421 yr Bham won 3-1. Aaron McNeal went 3-4 with 2 HRs, Mike Morse also added a solo shot. Also, Ruddy Yan went 2-4 with a steal, good to see him hitting again. Box Score Winston-Salem just keeps losing. They lost 3-2 in 10 innings. Ryan Sweeney had 2 hits! Jason Stumm got the loss. Box Score
April 20, 200421 yr I still can't believe the Hogs offense hasn't gotten going, but it should. And they got a good outing from their pitching staff today, but it really lacks a true ace, imo.
April 20, 200421 yr Nice to see Reed with a 3 hit game. Can't wait to see this guy play for the big club pretty soon
