There goes the perfect game.

Willie gets a hit and scores on an Everett single. So much for being dumb when it comes to benching Tad.

I prefer Honey Buns. Anyway, my player of the game goes to none other than....Joe Crede. He's going for the cycle tonight.

I'm going with Erasmus. Clayton will be nothing more than what they got on their team. Marcus Robinson at best. I see Nate Burelson having better potential.

I'm still strongly supporting Crede. He'll turn it around. CREDE's CREW 2005!!!!!!

I'm still part of Crede's Crew!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were rumors????

Hits a bloop into RF, man advances to 3rd with Lee on 1st. 1 out.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 07:47 PM) How about a nice chicago fire through wrigelyville. Yep. Anyone have a cow?? I have a couple of candles.

I think that Ozzie had a flashback to last year when he pulled Marte right away last year against KC, so he stuck with the guy a bit longer and it killed him.

I'm not going to question Shingo being left in there because I certainly didn't expect him to give up 3 HR's. I second guess using up the bullpen that dumbly though just in case Shingo doesn't get the save. Now they only had 1 guy available who pitched the previous game and they wanted him to last 3 or 4 innings. That's not smart. What was up with Widger warming up. I saw him in the bullpen. Did they say anything on tv about it??

All things equal, I will say, most dependable pitchers like this: Marte(He's been good more times than not) Vizcaino/Hermanson(Vizcaino is a good Marte clone when on, maybe better and Hermy can come in almost any situation) Shingo(when on he's unhittable, but I've only seen him for 1 year) Cotts(developing and it shows he's becoming better) Politte(he better go back to last years form)

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) I'm telling you.. all this stupid ass ignorant generalization s*** is really starting to piss me off. How many games do you go to...? I live in Plainfield.. it's 60 effing miles home. 50+ times a year we make that drive. You are preaching to the effing choir here.. go b**** at the ones that do make excuses. Clearly.. they don't post here. I'm going to 60 something. I went to Monday's and sadly I was apart of today's. Whoever asked the attendance, it was 10,000, maybe a little more. That's home game's at least. Me and my friends are also taking road trips to Comerica, Kauffman and the Bagdome. Anyway, that game was, less than stellar.

Oh yeah, anyone email this to Mariotti??? I swear, someone needs to completely call out this jagbag. The Sox could have the best 10 year run for any team winning the WS in all 10 years and he'll still have 5 bad things to say everyday. Hell, why isn't he talking about the Cubs being 1-2? By the way he writes his column, it makes it seem like we've lost both games by a total of 14 runs.

So what the hell are the Braves paying for??? They have Hudson, Chipper, Smoltz and Jones. The rest of the guys from what I know, dont make much or at least don't deserve to.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 09:13 AM) Alright i haven't read the whole thread, so maybe it's in there...but why are these games day games this week (besides opening day)? Seems logical to think that no one will show up, everyone's at work or school. So i wasn't surprised the attendance yesterday was not very high (even though the park literally looked empty when they first showed the stands). If it was a night game, the numbers probably would increase, right? There's probably something obvious i'm missing here, so feel free to point it out. Wrong. Most Sox fans will say, we have to go to work tommorow. Hell, I see a bunch of high schoolers go to the night games more than the adults and they're broke. No matter what, it seems like there is always an excuse not to go. Games don't end at 12 at the cell for the most part. Most of our games end at 10. Even that is enough time for you to get home and get to sleep. And I don't want anyone telling me that they live in the far north suburbs or far south suburbs or any suburbs because I know tons and I mean tons of Cubs fans that live in Kankakee, Naperville, Harvey, and Plainfield and seem to make it out to Wrigley while getting home in time to get some sleep and go to work or school the next day. I could maybe understand a day game at 1, but not a game that starts at 7/7:30. It's sad that most White Sox fans just find excuses not to go. Hell Cub fans find ways to get to our games on half price nights.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) I have no problem if they move the line back some, but I don't think it should go as far as the NBA distance. I just don't think it NEEDS to be done. Wouldn't hurt, but I don't see it as a major issue. I love the game as it is. I say 2 feet in from the NBA 3.

Well the Indians draw when they are winning. The AL Central as a whole can't draw fans to the park though.

I see us taking Williamson. I heard the Cowboys are looking for another WR(don't know why) so it will be him. Merriman will be 2 and either Rogers or Rolle will be 3rd.

Anyone who gives up only 2 runs in 6 innings of worked deserves to win IMO. Quality start = good outing.

I don't know. I've always wondered myself. We've been in the Sweet Sixteen 5 out of the last 6 years. We've been to the Elite Eight Twice in that span and we've made it all the way to the championship game this past year. I don't know why we haven't gotten more blue chippers over the past couple of years. Depaul has been doing better than us and they haven't won jack. Anyone got any guesses???

Hell Yeah!!! They don't know Bo!

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) Moot.. Aaron would have made it home on Juan's hit. Juan had a sac fly to get Arow home.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) Ummm... I'll ask again.. what did Willie do to help win this game...?? Bunt single to advance A-row to 3rd.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:04 PM) What game were you watching...?? :banghead Why so much hate for Willie??? The guy goes out and at least tries. He has speed and yes, has things to learn, but all I see is negativity for this guy. He could hit a game-tying GS in Game 7 of the WS and all I'd hear is, "well 3 guys got on base for him and anyone would've done that if given the chance in Willie's place."
