QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 2, 2007 -> 02:12 PM) Let them score all their runs today. Yeah because that is how it works.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 2, 2007 -> 02:12 PM) This is so god damn depressing. The admins better be ready to ban the group of moronic Indian trolls that I am surprised havent invaded this thread yet.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 2, 2007 -> 02:10 PM) Stay low and away... hitters aren't getting good hacks at it. Middle in is so much easier for the Indians to drive the ball.

QUOTE(zenryan @ Apr 2, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) yet you think Jose is a better option? oh sweet jesus. Garland sucked this ST, so did Mark outside of his last outing, and so did Vaz and the rest. So really why are you so f***ing worried about Jose pitching game one. Did you really want garland and his shoulder stiffness to start. Come on now.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 2, 2007 -> 02:04 PM) Massett's velocity is nowhere near advertised. I don't see someone as a "tick" below Jenks., The gun on comcast isnt what the judge velocity on. Someone bought the damn thing at the K mart.

DJ is trying to pick her up. The game is pretty much out of hand, let the man get some love.

f***ing bunting, WTF are we doing. This isnt the f***ing national league for f***s sake.

Someone needs to hit the switch, to remind everyone that this isnt Tuscon.

Now the pull baseball patrol will make this a 1-2-3 inning. We are down runs, and only long home runs can save us now. Lift and pull everyone.

WTF are we calling breaking pitches on the first pitch with a kid up there. Why is Ozzie loading the bases on the kid. This is dumb.

WTF, ominous start to the season.

Here are the 8 keys to victory. 1.) DO NOT PITCH TO HAFNER. ROLL IT ON THE GROUND IF NEED BE. 2.) Get into their craptacular pen of misery. Roberto Hernandez and Joe Borowski are exciting. 3.) DO NOT PITCH TO HAFNER. I DONT CARE IF YOU ARE THE f***ING MANAGER. 4.) Our starters do not need to pitch a complete game. If you feel that they are tiring. Please by all means take them out, and that is not when they have thrown 110 pitches and have the bases loaded. 5.) YOU DONT NEED TO STEAL OR BUNT ON EVERY f***ING PLAY. 6.) Mr. Shines, meet Mr. Cora, dont do what he did last year. 7.) Contreras throw strikes. 8.) Ozzie dont get appendage happy late in the game. Keep the magic 8 ball at home.

Soft tossing lefties with a decent breaking pitch, if they have a decent changeup then we are meat. They pitch away from contact low and away, and our hitters cannot control themselves and try to hit the ball as hard as they can which usually means that the third baseman and the SS are getting their workout on groundouts. Low and Away and let the magic happen is the formula. Last night Dye and Konerko worked over the soft tossing lefty. They hit the ball back up the middle and let the ball get back on them so they could drive it to right center. Then Kong got a pitch middle in that he could turn on and drive. This is how we should attack all lefties of this ilk. Just hit the ball the other way for a bit, until said meatball pitcher tries to get in again and then destroy him. We have the talent to do it for the most part, we have little or no patience.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 01:17 PM) My ex-boss used Drive Savers and she got nicked for well over a grand to recover data from a $125 external firewire drive. Tex is right, you will become a backup fanatic after you drop a thousand dollars to retrieve your data. I currently use an 8G flash drive to backup most of my personal data, that cost about 60 bucks at Frys. Backups are your friend. The quickest way for an IT person to get fired, is to tell the business that they lost data and have no backups.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 01:41 PM) So, Spring 2007. I am looking to get a new Apple MacBook for my new computer since my Dell is on its last legs. As a result, I want to get a Mac to avoid a lot of malware, etc. However, I want to wait for Leopard to come out as the OS. Anybody have any knowledge as to approximately when in spring Apple is going to release their machines with Leopard on it? Hooray Mac. Jobs is keeping the release date pretty close to to his chest. I would say by the chatter, its probably around the June timeframe with probably some new hardware released at the same time for a big splash. I will contact our Apple rep on Monday and see if I can squeeze a more definite date for you LCR.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 03:13 AM) Crede seems to be the popular pick. But I'm going with Jermaine Dye. Power to the other side of the park, and he has produced very well in clutch RBI situations before. The good thing is, there's a LOT of clutch hitters you could choose in the middle of our lineup. I echo this, Dye has a nice level line drive swing, and has gap to gap hitting style.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 12:05 AM) The long and the short of it as follows: My computer has suffered the following error in dst status test: 1000-0142. Basically my hard drive is done. Im under warranty, but there are things on my hard drive that can not be replaced. Dell has given me the following list of companies who will give me a discount: Salvage Data Recovery Service On Track Driver Savers Action Front Data Recovery Labs Iomega Data Recovery Services CBL Data Recovery Services If anyone has any experience with any of these companies, or has another company that I can use I would greatly appreciate it. I will not be able to live with myself if some of this stuff is lost. Success is much more important than price. We have used On Track before when one of our admins didnt backup one of our financial servers. It was costly and they recovered most of the data.

No patch to this puppy yet. Watch your email, and be careful on what you click on. I have seen at least 100 emails coming into my company tonight a link to a URL that has this in it. Its out there. In the link below there are some workarounds. These are not fixes, and you should be careful. Hopefully Microsoft is working on a fix, and will release it before their monthly supertuesday patch. Just another awesome feature of Microsoft.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 08:18 PM) WOW. Best breaking ball I've seen in quite awhile from Thornton. Joe Borchard finally did something for us.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 08:03 PM) Not every left pitcher throws a changeup that tails away from a righty. And he doubled up on the pitch. Give the pitcher some credit. Even the best hitters make outs 70% of the time. We lead the AL last year with a .290 average against righties, and we were 11th out of 14 teams in the AL against Lefities. So we can sugar coat it all we want, we need to improve against lefties.

Hey our late defensive replacement is in the game, Brian Anderson.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 07:45 PM) LOLOL. Who is that guy. I thought a fan ran onto the field.

My boss gave me 2 weeks off without burning any vacation, due to the wife having a baby. So I get to see all the day games next week from my couch, while making my salary.
