April 10, 200620 yr QUOTE(WCSox @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 03:18 PM) That's true. But if you're a righty and either pull it or drive it to center you're screwed. It's not a bad park for lefties, though. IIRC, it's something like 330 down the right-field line and 365 to RCF. Not bad. Yeah center is death. I think Juan Gonzales would have a few things to say about the dimensions in that park.
April 10, 200620 yr QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 01:12 PM) It's only 370 into the gaps which is smaller than the Cell. If you believe the #'s on the walls of the Cell.

April 10, 200620 yr YESS!!! Heard on the radio we won today and got happy as hell. Thome is a MONSTER! I am glad Freddy got his s*** together. I read Crede made some great plays once again. He is going to have a huge year both offensively and defensively.
April 10, 200620 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) "Damn why did I turn down that contract?" I think that's pretty acurate, yes. I took the park dimensions from ballparks.com. But they probably got them from the walls.

April 10, 200620 yr QUOTE(ShoeLessRob @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 03:35 PM) Didn't catch the game due to school but in the words of Hawk ... that image is definitely a keeper! it's as good as :uhoh
April 10, 200620 yr THOME CREDE KONG BMAC BOBBY Freddy with a decent enough outing. YESSSSSS So happy Ozzie went with BMac for the 7th and 8th

April 10, 200620 yr Video Highlights: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/gameday...t=.jsp&c_id=cws Detroit Broadcasters on Thome's HR: "Yikes"
April 10, 200620 yr MLC with Boston IIRC <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, it fell thru and he's still a free agent.
April 10, 200620 yr BTW, credes swing on his HR is ridiculous. ANd they call it a changeup but it was 94 mph Edited April 10, 200620 yr by RockRaines
April 10, 200620 yr Why didn't Ozzie bring in Boone-f'ing-Logan and Matt-f'ing-Thortnton today in the 7th or 8th inning and instead go to McCarthy in a close game against a tough club on a roll????? Hopefully you learnt from your prior mistake Ozzie and are going to only use Logan and Thornton when we either are losing by a lot or winning by a lot Great game otherwise to stem the Tigger's momentum and claim some of it back for us to get on a roll. I am hoping for a nice 10 game win streak or something to get this season off to the start we should be getting off to. Well done Freddie, Thome, Crede, Bobby Jenks and BMac.

A few more, and he gets the most career wins of any Venezuelan. I read that he's looking forward to it. (Not like you can't infer that, though. )
April 10, 200620 yr Watching the replay now from the Detriot feed, and its pretty funny on how the announcers talk about Thome Power and how one of them wish nobody was on base. 10 seconds later , the ball flies 19 rows into the stands, and one of the annoucers says, as the ball is flying out " well, Yikes" the other corresponds with, " He's strong, he's country strong" was pretty funny, good pair of announcers.. yet to catch there names.

I like them. Crede's HR is up on ChiSox.com, and it's the Tigers' feed. They both were very complimentary of him. They both loved the guy last year too, after Crede hit his bare-handed sideburned go-ahead HR against Detroit.

Also on Crede's HR their color guy interjects right after the HR "He's a big time player" and goes on to add "He gets lots of clutch hits for them". Small sample but they seem like good announcers to me.

Small sample but they seem like good announcers to me. With extra innings we get to here a lot of out-of-town guys and DET is way up on the list of my favorites to listen to. I don't remember their names either but the color guy knows the Sox better than any tv announcer in the league outside of Hawk and DJ. The color guy for TEX is kickass as well.
