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."

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) Don't care.. All I care about is The W..that is all that matters. True. I guess "Cardiac Kids" Anyway, I won't be sure about this offense until at least midseason if that. I also don't think we'll be able to do that with Contreras on the mound. Uribe and Rowand and Dye come through for my fantasy team though.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) if you were b****ing, leave now, we got some celebrating to do. Excuse me, but I don't think Dye got a basehit, or a sac fly or a bunt. He HR'd.

Willie comes through again for the Sox.

Everett, Konerko, Dye actually

3-nil. What scares me the most about the offense is that we have Contreras pitching tommorow.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) We'll be at 52 games this year.. how many will you be attending? 65.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) Marte better bend over on his fastball and not pull the short arming crap I saw him do down in Arizona and last year. I dont know what the hell happened with this guy, he has got FILTHY FILTHY stuff. But he got into some funk last year that he short arms the fastball and it sails. follow through Marte they cant hit you. I've noticed that. He kind of floats it over now instead getting full arm extension in there. When he follows through, he is probably one of the best if not the best setup men in the game.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) At least our team ERA is 1.00. Actually that is a bright point. We finally have pitching, but now we have lost our offense. It's like that Carmax commercial when they talk about dealers. You'll save on one part, but you'll pay more for something else. We either have good pitching with no hitting, or good hitting with no pitching. Damnit, why can't we just get the CarMax car???!!!......I am glad to see we actually have pitching though.

Tad K's on a bad pitch to swing on. At least the heart of the lineup is next. Which means all our guys will be swining for the fences.

Pod should steal on him now. I want to see this havoc he was to create.

Uribe at least getting nice rips at the ball. Pod get on, then Gooch-e!!! Gooch-e!!! Gooch-e!!!

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) Clearly not even possible. I meant Tad. Damn nicknames.

5 run rally coming up. Tad hits a GS, followed by a solo jack.
