April 7, 201114 yr I wish I could have seen Jackson pitch. Sounds like he was in rare form. Or, maybe that's going to his form for the season?
April 7, 201114 yr Edwin throws strikes and it's just lights out. He was getting his slider and split over today and Tampa just had no chance. Not to mention, the defense was very solid today and we had to manufacture some runs which we did. Like I said in my first post, this game was just a thing of beauty.

If it is, he'll get himself a Cy Young. AJ did pretty much everything he could to lose this game. He's going to be, by far, the weakest link in the lineup this year. I expect everyone else to have a good year offensively, but he'll be the guy we'll be wishing weren't up in a big situation.

Not sure about that...I think AJ will rebound.

He'll be hitting 8th or 9th soon, and I'd still rather have him in there than Flowers or the handful of crap free agents that were available this offseason.

I agree with this and I'm sure Milkman does as well. I was happy to bring AJ back because he's still a legit catcher who can handle a pitching staff quite well but there's no doubt in my mind that he's going to be the major weak link in the offense this season.

Buuuut I might prefer Ramon Castro over AJ Pierzynski.
April 7, 201114 yr Jackson! : Pierre! : Alexei! : Santos! : Lot of positives to start this season... with the bullpen overall was one of them. Let's hope it gets better!
April 7, 201114 yr I missed the game except the 8th-9th inning. So I guess Edwin was dealing today huh? Resign him before he gets too expensive Kenny!!
April 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) Buuuut I might prefer Ramon Castro over AJ Pierzynski. Against say a David Price? Yes. I don't really understand why Castro wasn't out there today, especially since AJ wound up in yesterday's game as well.

Let's hope it gets better! You forgot: Greg Walker! Sorry, couldn't resist. I just noticed you live by me, too...I live in Clearing.
April 7, 201114 yr Jackson is going to price himself out of a White Sox uniform, the Sox best chance is that he decides that money isnt everything and that he can live on more than $5mil a year.
