February 19, 200620 yr Buehrle named Opening Day starter Left-hander will face Cleveland on Sunday night, April 2 http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws No surprise here.
February 19, 200620 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 18, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) It's a shame Mark Buehrle isn't an ace. You get angry at others for overusing things, right back at ya here.

I'm glad it's on at night..the last couple have been morning and i was either at school or work and couldn't watch half the game. I'll finally get to watch the hole opening day game.

February 19, 200620 yr I personally don't care if he's an ace or not. He's pitched balls out every year for us and he's brought home the wins. He's a class act, a fan favorite and a damn good pitcher.

February 19, 200620 yr Good ol Mark Girlie. Let's just hope his arm stays healthy through the season because he's pitched a lot of innings over the past few seasons.
February 19, 200620 yr QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Feb 18, 2006 -> 10:46 PM) Heads: love that counter. ONLY 42 DAYS TILL BASEBALL! I believe it's even adjusted for DST. Either way, the guy next door to me and I are planning on getting some BBQ and watching it. Anyone from Ames Iowa should know what I'm talking about when I mention Hickory Park. Cheat, I'm going to assume you've had some as well.
February 19, 200620 yr Ames eh? On a personal note, when I was in HS a few years ago we had a transfer student from Ames, he was straight up the best athlete I had the priviledge of playing baseball with. He was in the mold of 6-2 190 SS's with a cannon arm and good hit. He and I were captains of the team our junior and senior years--he was a great teamate and competitor. He played a year for Albion here in MI then hung it up due to differences with the coach. I have great respect for Iowa and Ames' athletes because of him.

Hmmm....not sure who you're talking about, but these central Iowa folk generally seem to be nice.
February 19, 200620 yr Hmmm....not sure who you're talking about, but these central Iowa folk generally seem to be nice. Yea, no reason for you to know, he wasn't anything special, just another hard working Iowa kid. I've got some relatives in Iowa, it's a pretty boring place, but I the people are friendly imo.

It's about the same as licking the dumpster outside some places around here though.
February 19, 200620 yr Woo-Hoo. Good job Ozzie doing the absolute 100% correct thing. Mark...GET YOURSELF THAT DAMN AWARD THIS YEAR. For all of us. We've been waiting a few years to see you get it. You know which one I'm talking about. The only questions, of course, are how many runs the Sox will give Buehrle in support of his shutout, and how long the game will last.

February 19, 200620 yr Author Another surprise -- Ozzie also named Jenks his closer... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines
February 19, 200620 yr No shock here. Buehrle, along with Konerko, have become the face of the franchise.
