At Anaheim Stadium it is real easy, the ushers walk down the aisles and give them to you, otherwise you can find them in holders all around the stadium.

Stewart and Rauch are the two they are looking at. I don't think Heredia has much of a chance but who knows. They expected to already know whether he would be sticking around. I'd also count Matt Ginter as a possible starter if things get out of hand. Hopefully we won't have to worry about these things. Oh ya, I'll mention Felix Diaz as well. The one thing I like is that the Sox aren't going to have to rush many prospects anymore, which means the pitchers and hitters can take their time in the minors, making adjustments, etc.

I think the Sox lost 4-2. Koch gave up his first run of the spring in the ninth, although he didnt pitch bad. I think Loiaza start and gave up 3 runs in the first. Danny Wright through 2 innings and gave up a hit. Most people seem to be having trouble with real so who knows. Tomorrow I'll try updating everyone on most of the game since I won't be at work or busy with school stuff (At least i hope I won't)

I couldn't find it either Steff. They must of removed it.

Ya, the Sox haven't been involved in any trade rumors that I know of. The only thing semi mentioned was the fact that a few teams (Namely the Orioles) would be interested in Carlos Lee. I'd say it looks pretty safe that the Sox won't be making any moves, unless they are acquiring a backup catcher of some sort. They seem to have depth in almost every area and don't have much reason for concern other then to hope this team finally plays to its potential.

This stuff is still taped. I really believe that Saddam is dead. If he was alive he'd likely come out and make concrete statements so people wouldn't question whether he is alive or not. I guess if he wants to hide, then he should act like he's dead.

no,. not related - just everyone who knows me personally knows what a fan I am and "that's my man" is a phrase I use a lot - and the one thing we have in common in the three generations of my family is Eminem - my Marine son is a huge fan and I know he'll be happy, his son my grandson is a huge fan because I am and his step father is a huge fan too - the one thing we all agree on and I know my Marine is going to smile when he hears the news about the Oscar win and he needs a smile right now - I could have posted that more cogently I guess but I was just excited - I swear CW, your family is one of a kind of it must be. I'm not poking fun or anything, ya know I think your AWESOME. I just know when I'm in your area, I expect your entire family to start just rapping

Those were some pretty funny quotes.

Murcie pretty much summed up my feelings. I don't see any battle. Mario, Me, Mark and everyone else that helps out enjoy what were doing and we love giving all you awesome people info. I think its great that the Sox have two awesome sites devoted to eachother. Why there has to be a battle and such, who knows. All I know, and speaking for the staff of SoxNet, we aren't in a "battle" with WSI; We do our thing, they do theirs and our only goals are to continue making this site better and better for all our members/readers.

Butler is the team thats really impressing me. They came back from a big time defecit and were getting hammered. They showed resiliency and that they can run with some of the best.

I agree with Dibbler on his ideas, but it all comes down to Wright. If he isn't healthy then I see no point in rushing him and believe that Stewart can handle himself. I do think Stewart would benefit from more time and think that he could surprise people and enter our rotation eventually. This guy has really turned it on since last year and if he continues to grow, then he's got a good future, even if scouts don't drool over him.

If we could do it legally we probably would find a way. But there is always SnR a couple times a week.

Ya, sometimes you never know what a thread turns into, lol. I see it as a good thing cause it shows that so many people here like to discuss other things and typically get along.

Well I'm going to move this to off-topic. After all I think the first post was about the only one in regards to baseball. Me, I wouldn't go out with a girl that smokes for the simple reason that I can't stand the smell of smoke nor do I smoke. I have nothing wrong with them and I can be friends with anyone that smokes, but nothing more, unless I can convince them to quit, lol. I also got no problem with Tatoos other then the fact that I don't and won't get one. 1. They are too permanent for me 2. I'm a sissy and am afraid of needles; Also why I'd never shoot up any drugs Now if you got them all over your body then it probably means something, I'm talking those people with like body tats or whatever they call them.

I cant believe that I'm actually defending Sosa on this, but there have been many players that never led their team to consistent winning teams. Take a guy like ARod for example, we all know his numbers, yet the Rangers weren't even a .500 ballclub last season. It doesn't take one great hitter to get to the playoffs, it takes a whole team, which is what the Cubs don't have. Do the Angels have just one big impact player? No, they have a whole team of impact players that led them to the World Series Championship. The only reason that I am willing to take Sosa on my team is that he's a great hitter. He may very well be on steroids, and I know hes the biggest b**** theres is, but I will take him for the offense that he can provide us with. So what about the DBacks in 2001? They didn't have 1 impact player...they had 2.....but that's essentially what won them the World Series. Regarding ARod....not only is he in the toughest division in the majors....but he had nothing for pitching around him. If Park can pitch decently this year....the Rangers could be an 85 win team. They have a stronger pen....and have a formidable 1-2-3 punch with Park, Valdes, and Thomson. Sosa's actually had some pitching around him at times....and he does this year. He should also have a decent offense around him as well....let's see how he does this year. Offensive players and pitchers are two different areas. It doesn't matter how good an offensive player is if they got crap pitching. Having two aces can do so much cause its almost a guaranteed win two out of five and they hope they play semi .500 with the other three. Remember, Gonzo had a monster year, Finley was good, so it still wasn't just a two man show. Plus in the playoffs, two starters can take you a very very long way.

That was a different Sammy Sosa and there is a difference then Sammy Sosa at that time by himself then Frank Thomas and Albert Belle still in pretty much their prime. Frank Castillo isn't a pitcher. We had Darwin who was solid and a lot of injuries, but wasn't that one of the years the cubs had no closer or anything?

That is a completely absurd statement. We had one of the best pitching staffs some of the years the Sox dominated, with the cy young award winner, etc. We also had Ventura and some other sluggers and quality guys like Raines, one Dog, Harold Baines, etc.

I dunno. Baseball isn't like so many sports in the sense that one player can carry a team. It is a team sport. Basketball you can kind of have that happen because there are only 5 players, but in baseball there are 9 starters plus a bullpen and bench and they all have integral parts of the team. I can't believe that people really think that Sosa doesn't help the Cubs and that he wouldn't help the Sox. I know people can complain about his attitude, but he doesn't really have much of one. I think he is a bit me oriented, but he does want to win and he works hard and plays his butt off.

But I don't have any of that stuff and can still listen. You guys should try opening the real player beforehand and then clicking on the listen button on mlb and see if that helps.

What utter crap that came out of his mouth.

I'm not watching the OSCARS. I won't stand for the comments either way. Those comments are going to get a lot of press and they don't deserve it. Its not like their background is on this subject and a lot of them aren't educated in this whole issue whether for or against it. I know most of the pro war people keep their mouths shut, but either way I don't liek that an actor that may no nothing about the subject could effect so many people by making on comment. It would be like trusting an "avg joe" to be a Chemical Expert (not saying it isn't possible or anything as plenty of them are very smart, but just in general not many people fit this bill so what would their opinion really matter if thats not their area of expertise. I'm watching Jurassic Park 3 or whatevers on Fox.

Just want to quickly welcome you aboard

It's Faux News, excuse me Fox News reporting it too. I'm VERY hesitant to believe what the U.S. corporate media says now, especially Fox. BBC is reporting to apu... jas....you dont have BBCamerica on basic cable out there???...its on comcast basic cwsox...every station is reporting it so it is news...i think the fact that it was gaurded by an electrical fence with military troops including a general at least would lead one to think its a little more than a viagra plant...but with saddam you never know..it might be his personal hair dye plant I see the station (Also found out I have Fox Sports Cntrl and a White Sox piece was on but I couldn't see that either), and it is in the color that says I Get the channel so I'm gonna call them up when I get time. I usually bs everytime I call the company.

Last years incidents have little if no effect on what happened in canada and ofcourse your gonna go against me in this being that your canadian. And yes i realize there are two types of candadians since i did say "2 languages" but they are all canadians more than anything else. Plus in reaction to another comment i doubt the "loud minority" of the crowd was overshadowing the majority, actually if you saw it there was a majority booing. Gary to be honest people in Quebec have and always will want to suceed and become an independent state. They are french and they hold that deeply.

I really think if Wright does in fact need surgery, we may just see him go in and get it in the next two weeks. Also, look for Ginter to move to the rotation once he goes back to AAA. I don't think it was the one bad start that kept him out, it was more of the fact that he didn't really have much of a shot as the pen was pretty much decided beforehand. Now if one of the righties goes down it will be between him and Almonte.
