No, a B game is when two teams agree to play a "unofficial" game. Probably on a back field.

They played a B game. Those games don't count as real ST games, but it's still a baseball game.

Whoever earns it, right now it's gotta be Wright.

Good start, especially for the pitchers.

Gload has saved Shingo twice now.

That's why they pitch, thank god for the DH.

Rooney said Ozzie told him Koch in only throwing 90-91 MPH, but they feel he'll build velocity throughout the spring.

Pretty good inning for Koch, hopefully he get's some of his velocity back and keeps the 1-2-3 innings coming.

Since his fastball is only 90-91 MPH right now, i'm gonna say he'll lose his closer job.

Figures we get a knuckleballer first time out...

20-16 since the beginning of interleague play. I've been keeping track.

Shoney had a .312 OBP and a .640 OPS against him, pretty damn good (even better with the Sox's), plus his K/9 rate increased from 6.75 to 9.35 when he joined the Sox's. So Cooper obviously had a positive affect on him. Judging by those numbers his ERA should have been much lower (most likely a bad outing or two inflated his ERA). If he can match those numers as a starter he could have a season similar to what Buehrle has last year.

Hey, if there's one thing Uribe can do is pick it. He does have some issues with his throwing (most of his errors come of bad throws), but errors are too highly emphasized on defense anyway. BTW, same goes for Jose, but to a lesser extent.

I think people will be surprised, Scho pitched a lot better than his ERA indicates. His track record as a starter is somewhat terrible, but i just have a gut feeling he's do for a good season.

Be careful what you wish for. If JR does sell (won't happen anytime soon), there's a good chance the team could be moved. Especially if the Cubs continue to dominate the Chicago market.

I sorta have this feeling Rowand will kick some ass this spring. Him and Crede could very easily have big breakout seasons. I know some people are down on Aaron, but i feel he has all to tools to become a good CF.

Wouldn't be great if Frank shows up tomorrow, looks at reporters and says "I'm ready to play some ball". If that happens (it won't) i'll take it as a sign and start saving for playoff tickets.

A slim Carlos Castillo? I refuse to believe that. BTW, i hope Koch has his s*** back.

LOL, Georgie will go crazy when the Yankees fail. There's just too much pressure now from them to succeed. I say ALCS, they won't get further than that. BTW, :fthecubs

Ditto, a true Sox's fan needs to have a irrational hate for the Cubs.

Different situation, i don't feel like explaining arbitration so i'll just leave it at that.

Frank Thomas, this way back in 2002.

The Boston rumors have Trot Nixon coming our way (i think), i'd call that a fair trade.

Yeah, but there's a difference when you trade someone for fair value or just plain give them away for s***. I don't doubt for a second KW wants to get rid of Frank, but if he doesn't get fair value Frank isn't going anywhere.
