Getz with 2 more rbi , 3/5 , 3 rbi , 9-3 Sox.

Owens gets a hit and drives in Lillibridge , 7-3 Sox. Toronto wins 134-129 so onto the Blackhawks game .

MacDougal with a perfect inning . Lillibridge with a double and rbi ,3/4 now. 6-3 Sox.

I can see why NBA teams lose on the road . The refs have been swallowing their whistles on drives by Rose. He's made 2 baskets with contact in OT. Bulls up 127-126 with 29 seconds left.

Ben Gordon just hit a buzzer beater to tie it at 119 and send it into OT.

Dang, Rose just blew a layup with 10 seconds left that would have given the Bulls the lead.

Bulls only down by 4 now with 3 minutes left on WGN.

Wise with a triple , HR and 3 rbi. Sox lead 5-3.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 10:06 AM) Sure, that "All fire" bullpen worked brilliantly in 2007, lets do that again! I remember how stoked everybody on this board was re: all the + arms for the 2007 season . I was flamed for suggesting a bunch of inexperienced relievers was not the way to go. I never played fantasy baseball but don't you get more points for more K's ? Fireballers always = exciting even if they don't always = results. KW learned his lesson and signed Dotel and Linebrink.

The defense is going to make the pitching look worse than it is. I think the hitting will be fine and the pitching too , it's just the defense is below average at many positions. My guestimate is that the Sox defense will lose them 10+ games this year.

Thome makes it 5-3 with back to back oppojacks

Betemit goes oppo 4-3 Sox

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 06:55 AM) MLB.com's Scott Merkin talked to White Sox starter John Danks, who recently turned down the team's offer of a four-year, $15.5MM extension (Gavin Floyd accepted the same offer). Danks was excited by the offer, but his agent advised him not to take it: "I was thrilled to death. I was advised that it wasn't the right time for that deal, but at the same time, never in a million years, never did I think I would have turned down a guaranteed 15. It was a hard decision, but that's why I pay my agent. We'll move on from there." So at least the desire to stay in Chicago is evident with Danks. Danks mentioned two more times that he turned down the offer on the advice of his agent Jeff Berry. He even admitted, "When I heard $15 million, I was like 'Heck yeah.'" Berry wants Danks to wait until after '09, when he'll be arbitration-eligible for the first time. Presumably Berry has his eye on a Jon Lester deal. Just hope Danks doesn't go all Cliff Lee second season version and end up regretting passing up the guaranteed $15 million. I think it's safe to assume that agents don't operate under the old saying "a bird in hand is worth two in the bush."

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 10:54 AM) KW should be talking to Frank Wren from the Braves right now. They have 3 candidates for the CF job, and Gregor Blanco is a guy who could leadoff for the Sox for the next 5 seasons, and he's shown he can get on base at the major league level in his rookie season. That's why I've been tooting Josh Anderson's horn. That kinda sounds dirty

It's time to utter those 2 words that send shivers down the collective spine of Soxtalk..... Mike MacDougal.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 10:12 AM) Pretty much in full agreement with NorthSide and Cali. It's gotta be BA's job to lose IMO. Bat Getz leadoff and let's move on and put this thing to rest. BA is obviously the superior defender out there...plus...when has the guy HONESTLY been given a shot with consistant innings and abs since he was pretty much tossed to the wolves after Rowand was dealt his rookie year? If you compare Josh Anderson and Brian Anderson since they've been drafted you will see Josh has more than 2000 more AB's than Brian because he's been playing every day in the minors. That's a lot of AB's for Brian to lose over the course of 4/5 years. Being a good defender possibly has hindered Brian's maturation as a hitter just because his D is good enough to be a reserve in the majors but he didn't get the AB's he would've had he been in the minors. Brian could've used those extra 2000 AB's to develop as a hitter.

Just see what the Braves want for Josh Anderson and dump Wise and Owens. Platoon both Andersons and you have 2 + defenders and Josh Anderson has more speed than Owens and Wise and is a way better fielder than either.

What's not impressive about BA's 5 assists already ? You can pick apart the AB's because of the pitchers they face but you can't do that when you throw out runners trying to take extra bases. Not only that but I'm pretty sure three of the assists were outs at home. The Sox may very well have close to the worst defense in the AL. They need BA in CF more than they need a half-assed leadoff hitter.

Carlton Fisk is exactly 10 yrs. older than me.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Mar 14, 2009 -> 10:09 AM) Yeah, you can also watch it online beginning the day after it airs. Unfortunately that's not true as all teams are finished now yet the last 4 teams still don't have the videos online even though that's exactly what it says on the 30 in 30 page.
