March 2, 200323 yr Author -Leadoff man gets on -Nice play by Nunez at short to get the force out at 2nd (Runner on first one out now) -Strikes out Little for the 2nd out -Starts to rain hard -K's the next guy as well SOX WIN SOX WIN SOX WIN 3-2 Sox
March 2, 200323 yr Koch: Gives up single on first pitch Force play at 2nd, 1 out Goes 3-2 before striking out Little, 2 outs Another K, 3 outs 3-2 White Sox
March 2, 200323 yr It's nice to win one...they don't mean anything, I know....but it is nice to win our very first game of the year.
March 2, 200323 yr Gotta love your two aces pitching, then your closer who can light it up to 100 MPH. Also, Adkins pitched for Marte, who was having a tooth pulled or something.
March 2, 200323 yr well we know that jimenez sucks.. miles is good and hummel cant play third.........have we learned anything else today???? MILES IS THE LORD OF THE MIDINFIELD DEFENSE !!!!!! lol
March 2, 200323 yr 247, Chisoxfn.....thanks for the play by play....just got home and caught the last batter Koch whiffed..... Although ST wins/losses are meaningless, its nice to see: 1. Colon looking solid 2. Buerle pitching ok for his first outing 3. Borchard hitting and fielding well 4. Konerko smacking the ball 5. Gaffy showing me he back to almost 100% (he will be playing more than most think this year) 6. and finally, Koch for doing what we expected SOX WIN ! SOX WIN!
March 2, 200323 yr well we know that jimenez sucks.. miles is good and hummel cant play third.........have we learned anything else today???? MILES IS THE LORD OF THE MIDINFIELD DEFENSE !!!!!! lol That's why he was 26 and playing in AA. Also, Nunez is looking very solid.

March 2, 200323 yr Call me a pessimist, but I am getting (albeit a bit early, I know) a bit nervous about the 2B position.... We've got Jiminez, Harris, Miles, Nunez, Hummel all looking for a chance to play and I see weaknesses in each one..... I think we need a guy who can be patient at the plate, get on base, hit for a decent average and hopefully end up scoring 120 runs with the guys hitting behind him....in addition, the guy will need to be a rock in the IF and get confortable with Valentin turning the DP..... ...each guy is unproven over a full season.... ....ok, so tell me I shouldn't worry....

Well... We could have elected to sign Ray Ray for $8M a year, and forgotten about trading for Colon (that's where Ray's $8M is going, afterall). Would you rather have done that? Look...we've got some question marks. Every team does (even the mighty Yankees) -- that's what makes the season fun. If we had a sure thing, sure it would be fun for a while, but part of what made 2000 so great was that we weren't expecting grandeur. It just kind of happened. We've got a great offense this year, and with Colon, we've got the best pitching potential we've had since the early 90's. I like our chances.
March 3, 200323 yr Oh, no doubt I like our chances as well.....its just that the question mark we are talking about happens to be our leadoff hitter.....and I just wonder what is plan be if everyone we put out there can't hit over 220? Anyway, I'm going to stop thinking the glass is half full and hope like hell my pessimism is unwarranted and just enjoy what will be one hell of a fun year for all of us!!
March 3, 200323 yr dont worry something will work out for the good.. it always does....... miles, miles, miles..... i want miles in there............
