The Beast

I'm driving home from the game right now, and I'm really not all that impressed with us right now. 1-0 is too close of a score, and there was not enough offense today. We were fortunate to get the Indians' gaffes on defense. I wasn't feeling Pods and Iguchi today. Pods drew a nice walk, and kept getting throws over near 1st base. The good idea would be to drop Iguchi down later in the order with Rowand batting in the two hole so then Iguchi could get used to major league pitching. Defense was extremely timely today. Crede starting two double plays were keys today as Buehrle mowed down the Indians. Buehrle wasn't pitching first pitch strikes always, but came back and did what he needed too do. I was a little nervous with Shingo coming in, but he brought his game today, and that play was spectacular by Ross Gload. I'm a little upset that Gene Honda didn't talk much today, because that new guy annoys me. We have to get our offense going and Freddy has to have a good outing on Wednesday. Way to go Mark, and go White Sox.

I thought that I saw the Scout seats as the only green seats in the park. Can't say that to be sure though. Renovation phase looked nice with the seats and the fundamentals section was kind of cool.

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) LOL, threw the inside pitch and he turned on it, but Tori Hunter stepped in and threw him out quicker than you can say of course I love you. And with your bet today Jim Hoffman struck you out faster than I can say "Ross Gload is 28 years old and you owe me dinner for it."

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) "And there's a line drive to left center, he's going to try and stretch this into a double ... here comes the throw ... OUT! at 2nd base." Or I would say safe, the umpire changed his call after seeing the ball roll out of the 2nd basemans glove...

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) Beastly is too busy with his new girlfirend to keep up on stuff that has been mentioned about 100 times. Maybe I was...but do old men need to be on a message board for an extended period of time? Don't you have wives to tend to, gentleman?

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) Is spring break almost over, time to go back to school Spring Break 05 was amazing. After the game today, I'm done with break and Im going back to work.

I'm beginning to enjoy the new Green Day Album now...I skip track 1 because its the most over played song...but 3 and 4's transition from Holiday to Boulevard of Broken Dreams is pretty cool...I like wake me up when september ends too...its pretty sweet. I also am enjoying International Superhits too...

Going to be there with dad and the twins...hopefully I'll get to meet up with you guys. My seats suck, but I hope that won't ruin my last day of break. I've seen u guys with the bean bags...kinda funny cuz a few guys are a little tipsy...and as always, I'll probably see Steff or southsider at their place.

I'm sitting here laughing my ass off, because it is so stupid...

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) That sucks for him. Why do teams that know they wont' have a roster spot for him continue to pick him up????? To get a scouting report on him?

wasn't taking it personally...I was kidding with quickman Its okay, i just hope Burke doesn't get claimed, he's pretty good for a backup

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 11:43 PM) I am not Widger is a better defensive catcher and seems to handle the pitchers just fine. Good move Alright then, quickman has spoken, i'm just a youngin who doesn't know anything, right?

I still don't see why they didn't keep Burke...he's a lot better than Widger. Davis is a piece of s***, let him go...wish we coulda gotten Kim tho instead of the Rockies.

Totally no risk move, and its a good idea on KW's part. I'm disappointed in not keeping Burke and keeping Widger...

Let me start out by saying that Cliff Politte is garbage, and I found it absolute bulls*** that the White Sox couldn't find anyone better in free agency than that piece of s***. Secondly, trade Davis, I mean yeah, he was decent when he was with us, but he's nothing overly spectacular for a back-up. I like Burke better than Davis. The reason we've been carrying 3 catchers is because of injuries and liability of cash flow on the roster. It is silly to keep Davis and send Burke down, potentially losing him. Widger sucks, let him go. If we can pry Kim from the Red Sox, I say we take him. Seriously, I don't care about Bmac right now, we can save him for later. Or is there a rule that he has to be on the 40 at the start of the year or he can't be called up? I'd think we'd be able to get rid of Politte and Davis...it might work, if we got that 40 spot for BMac and that pitcher in Kim.

I'm scared. Contreras will give me an ulcer before the end of the year with the way he pitches. I don't give a flying f*** if he's in the desert, thats still no excuse for all these runs. I'm also a little nervous about Hernandez, but he pitches every 5th day, so I'm fine with that. Buehrle's injury has slowed his progress, so he really won't have time to tune up b4 the season. Thomas...man, I like what I see from Everett. And Burke...he'll be in AAA, though I'd release that piece of s*** Davis in a millisecond. I would also have to say that I'm not impressed with Politte. I think its garbage that Kenny thinks he can get it done with his 95 mph pitches. Its not always about speed, but with the types of pitches, and pin point accuracy.

I'll be at opening day. Shoot me a PM if I'm invited to the tailgaiting party, or if you want to meet up with me. I'll buy a beer or two...

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) CH. 7 just said its not a stressed bone and He's now DAY TO DAY YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD...YES Beat me to it. Quickman, look what you did to my heart rate!

Right, I'm sure Kenny Williams reads here...your crazy

I'd give him a minor league deal. Go ahead and mock me, but vets who used to be good and are "washed up" can come back. Thats all.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) I do have to say Brandon impresses me more and more the more I hear about him. I hope Politte doesn't faulter tho if he does, I hope Brandon comes up. He's a great insurance policy if El Duque goes down. I think thats one of the only reasons Kenny Williams signed Hernandez is that he has McCarthy to fill in for him. Adkins should begin on the club, I have not liked what I have seen from Cotts thus far.

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) Mackowiak is better than borchard, why would they give him up? I'd do that trade in a heart beat. I'm not saying what I really think of Borchard until ST ends and due to respect he is a member of the family on this site. God damn Terry, how've you been!?

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) I'm pretty sure that was him. He struggled in the field though. Whatever dude, I thought he did good hitting tho, he can be sloppy, its ST.

#39 was tearing it up...is that Valdez? If so, I really like him!
