f***ing Contreras. Leadoff homer by DeJesus. s***ty thing was he struck him out on the pitch before, but the umpire didn't call it.

Our 3-4-5 picking up for where it left off yesterday. With Contreras going today, we're going to need more production from them.

Ugh, Konerko is striking out way too often now. All you have to do is throw him a slider on the outside corner.

I'm watching the game, but I'm not sure what Greinke did to get called for a balk?

Patterson's AB to end the game was as piss poor as any I've ever seen in that type of situation.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 06:03 PM) Chargers need Mike Williams every bit as much as we do. Tomlinson, Gates, and M. Williams is just ridiculous talent at the skill positions.

QUOTE(shagar69 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 05:56 PM) hopefully Clayton will be there in the 2nd round and we will take him. That would make the benson pick a lot more bearable Isn't Clayton projected to be a late first round pick?

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 05:53 PM) I thought taking Benson over Williams was incredibly terrible!! You need more help at WR than RB IMO..... That's what I was saying earlier. Thomas Jones isn't great by any means, but he's not well below average at his position like B. Wade/Gage/Berrian are.

Holy cow, what are the Vikings thinking? Takes a little bit of the sting off of the Bears not taking M. Williams now.

My brother just told me that Benson got into some legal trouble also last season. The more I hear about him, added to what I saw on the field, really makes me dislike him.

QUOTE(shagar69 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) this is gonna be perfect. Vikes are gonna get Williams and we're gonna have to watch him kick our asses for the next 10 years. thanks Angelo Williams was one of the best receivers I've ever seen in college football. He would hav easily been the first pick this season if he played last season. Thing that makes this worse is that it makes the Vikings trade of Moss a good trade now.

Some more thoughts on it: - Benson fumbled 7 times last season, way too much for a good college back. - The difference between a top WR like Mike Williams and a 2nd round WR that the Bears might take like Reggie Brown or Mathis is a lot more significant than the difference between taking Benson in the first round and a RB like Morency or Fason in the 2nd round.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) Benson is not an average NFL back... He was the most proven out of the three backs in college. And he's so much better than Thomas Jones... I respect your opinion, but Texas plays a total gimmick offense with Young in the shotgun nearly every play this season. Tell me one thing that Benson does that is better than the typical NFL running back? Personally, I thought Thomas Jones was pretty solid last season in a terrible offense in which teams knew that the passing game couldn't beat them.

For those that don't know, Benson is an asshole. During the cfb season, he said he'd rather win the Heisman than beat rival Oklahoma. He's a classless jackass.

I really don't like how Benson tried to blame race for one of the reasons that he might have been slipping on some team's draftboards. He failed to mention that his stock started going down after he ran slow 40s. My belief is this, who would you rather have: - Thomas Jones at RB, with Muhammad and Mike Williams at WR or - Jones/Benson at RB, with Muhammad and B. Wade at WR The choice is obvious to me.

Terrible selection

Every single person is predicting Benson. That would be about 5 spots too high to take someone who got really beat up in college. Mike Williams is a difference maker, Benson is an average NFL running back if you ask me.

Please just say no to Benson! Thomas Jones is a better player than guys like B. Wade or Gage. Mike Williams would have been the number 1 pick if he played last season.

Haha, just as I was saying, Marte tries to throw a 3-2 slider to Sweeney.

Nice to see Marte not overthrow there and walk the leadoff batter. In a 6 run lead with the wind blowing in as much as it is, all you have to do is throw it right down the plate. If they score 6 runs off of you in one inning under those conditions, you don't deserve to be in the majors.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 02:37 AM) Gooch flies out to Right..........8-2 Sox to the bottom of the 9th. How about we don't make this game interesting! My blood pressure can use a rest from one run games.

Podsednik has had one of the best game I've ever seen by a leadoff hitter for the White Sox.

Politte clearly has the best fastball on our team so far this season.

BTW, great job by Garcia tonight. His fastball had better location on it, and he looked more confident on the mound.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 02:21 AM) Gload's value shoots through the roof if he can play a decent LF/RF. Anyways, about that Cubs game that Gload botched a couple of flyballs -- I think I might have been at that game, and the wind was a real son-uvva-b**** that day. So, if that's what we're basing our judgement on Ross play OF from -- then, I'd say we should give him a shot to redeem himself. If he f***s up tonight, then OK, there goes that experiment. I definitely agree with you. I'd rather have Gload in the outfield any time instead of Everett (who's also a risk to get injured in the outfield).
