April 3, 200818 yr I'd really like to say something about trade value and two certain players, but I'll refrain for now. I love John Danks
April 3, 200818 yr It was important to get that win... now we head to Detroit to keep their losing streak alive!
April 3, 200818 yr 99 more of these threads would be nice. Cleveland won't get 2-hit many times this year.
April 3, 200818 yr Great to win these close games with our O struggling. Going into the season, everyone was more worried about the Danks, Count, Floyd combo instead of Buerhle + Vazquez.....opening series shows the opposite.....too early though, but still funny Detoilet losing 3-0 against the Royals and Cabrera is injured (out with quads issue), so maybe we avoid getting Miggy Cabrera starting tomorrow....
April 3, 200818 yr It'd be great to see Danks continue these types of performances throughout the year. Keep in mind, he was a top prospect not too long ago, and did just add another pitch. Hopefully he can stay consistent, a good third starter would be HUGE for this team.

In the 1st half of last year, he did get horrible run support too.....I hope our O is more of what we saw in 1st game and less of what we saw in the last 2 games.

If the Count and Danks can have solid seasons I think the Sox will suprise people this year. I know MB and Javy didn't light the world on fire in their 1st starts, but I think they'll have solid years and the bullpen hopefully is better, well scratch that, it basically has to be better... Hopefully the bullpen will be solid
April 3, 200818 yr Incredible job but Danks and the pen!!! And the two guys who've caught the most grief homer to win it....ahahahahaaaa We needed this one bad!
April 3, 200818 yr current comcastsportsnet.com poll With Jerry Owens on the DL, who would you like to see be the every day CF? Brian Anderson 67.3% Nick Swisher 30.9% Alexei Ramirez 1.8% I voted BA
April 3, 200818 yr My first game thread.. and it's a 2-1 victory! I'm gonna claim the credit for this win JK, but in all seriousness, what a game. Danks really surprised me. He worked his ass off this offseason, apparently.
April 3, 200818 yr Ive always been a big fan of Grienke.... its nice to see him do well against someone other than the whitesox.
April 3, 200818 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:36 PM) Bobby! Danks! Crede! Uribe! :cheers Add to those bright spots Dotel and Linebrink! Only downer was the continued bad defensive play of Dye. I'd like to see him pulled out for a defensive replacement about the seventh inning of every game. The Sox coaching staff also needs to go over outfield fundamentals with him and explain to him that the CF is captain out there.
April 3, 200818 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) Great win....I'm excited to go home and watch the full game on DVR. Yeah, I want to catch some of the replay to see how Danks looked.

Danks will still have his struggles, but I still believe he will be at least a league average starter throughout his career and I can see him being as good as an average #2 starter (and that is pretty darn good, imo).
