The White Sox went 4-2 against central division foes Detroit and Cleveland with the only two losses being poor starts by Jon Garland and Freddy Garcia. Mark Buehrle regained his ace-ship during the week and Brian Anderson and Juan Uribe were given votes of confidence by Ozzie Guillen.

 

Jason and Mario will discuss all that and more on this weeks show.

That was a solid week of baseball for the Sox. They won all their games against Cleveland and Detroit in the 8th inning or later. That was very impressive, and it’s good to see the never-say-die attitude getting into the 2006 edition of the Sox.

 

I like the idea of LaTroy Hawkins a lot too. I don’t see the pressure being on him in a place like this, and Coop can’t hurt him at all. I’m partial to the guy, because he played A ball in Fort Wayne. And another tidbit along that line, AJ has caught Hawkins in the minors and in the majors (all in the Minnesota organization), when he was extremely solid.

 

As you well know, I’m very happy that Ozzie has finally given BA the nod as the CF and stating he’s not going anywhere. His glove is just so damn valuable, and that’s much more important to any offense he can give us. And his bat will come around a bit before the season’s over, looking at his history. He’s done some solid stuff since he’s been given the vote of confidence. Two great nights at the dish on consecutive nights, and he’s still making all kinds of plays with the glove.

 

I don’t disagree with you at all about the PK/Thome debate. There’s just too much injury risk to see Thome starting games in the field in the NL parks. Thome’s streaky and I don’t see him being too affected by not being able to get 3-4 AB’s every game. Frank and Jurassic were able to get AB’s in those series last year without starting, and they were fine.

 

The Frank dap.

 

Solid show guys; I’ll still be listening despite my lack of comments the next few weeks.

I figured I had to send ya off in style with some nice comments on Big Frank. The big man's deserved it from his play as of late. I'm always willing to admit my mistakes or innapropriate words. He's playing really good in Oaktown right now.

 

Now to hope Uribe figured things out and that we'll have mostly new topics to finally talk about next week (as opposed to BA, Uribe, and of course the pen; but I don't see the pen issue going away).

 

I am personally excited to see Freddy's next start and if he'll be out there throwing a lot of fastballs. I truly believe Coop and Ozzie left him out there to get shallacked for not listening to them by throwing more FB's. No other way to learn your lesson than by getting your ass handed to ya on national tv.

We are going to get a lot more high tech in terms of sounds. We haven't in the past because our sound board was only one one computer and I wouldn't be able to hear it, but I finally got some equipment so we each will have sound boards and can hear the effects, so hopefully that end of the show will get a little more professional.

 

It also means my taste in music, which includes Death Cab and tons of other bands.

The best part was Gage's reaction to the soccer game.

 

Jas: "Yes the Americans scored a goal and are up....oh wait it's the Czech's. [quietly] son of a b****."
