-

VIZ APOLOGISTS, I AWAIT YOUR NEXT SET OF JUSTIFICATIONS
-
pile-on time.

This appears to be just one of those games where nothing goes right for the Sox.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ May 17, 2005 -> 01:33 PM)Is he better than Cruddy? Check
Does this team badly need more offense? Check
Is this team trying to win a world series? Check
Does Cruddy need some competition? Check
Does Cruddy even seem to give a damn at the plate looking at his horrible swings? Check
You seem to be under the impression that the nationals would take either nothing or next to nothing.
Since April 15th, Crede has 26 hits and Castilla has 28 hits. Yeah, you're right. We really needed those two hits badly enough to give up something to get them.
-
okay, it's further of a spread than I thought...
.240 Crede
.270 Castilla
but still. Castilla isn't exactly hitting the cover off the ball like he started out doing.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ May 17, 2005 -> 01:21 PM)Regarding the Astros thingy, see where it says "right now".
================
Back to the topic,
Castilla: 0.307 BA; 4 HRs; 23 RBI; 0.385 OBP; 0.504 SLG in 36 games/127 ABs
Cruddy: 0.262 BA; 3 HRs; 15 RBI; 0.329 OBP; 0.397 SLG in 39 games/126 ABs
Yeah, Castilla can only hit in Coors field
What's Crede hitting since this thread was made?
What's Castilla hitting since this thread was made?
oops.

A little research:
Year Team Starting Record Final Record Rank Post 1911 Tigers 27-5 89-65 2nd in AL ------ 1984 Tigers 27-5 104-58 1st in ALE Won WS 1902 Pirates 27-5 103-36 1st in NL Won Pen. 1907 Flubs 26-6 107-45 1st in NL Won WS 1928 Yanks 26-6 101-53 1st in AL Won WS 1912 Giants 26-6 103-48 1st in NL Won Pen. 1946 Red Sox 25-7 104-50 1st in AL Won Pen. 1955 Dodgers 25-7 98-55 1st in NL Won WS 1977 Dodgers 25-7 98-64 1st in NLW Won Pen. 1910 Athletics 25-7 102-48 1st in AL Won WS 2005 White Sox 24-8 ????? ??????? ??????? 1990 Reds 24-8 91-71 1st in NLW Won WS 1993 Phillies 24-8 97-65 1st in NLE Won Pen.
Somebody tell Moronatti that the Reds were just beating up on bad teams when they got off to that 24-8 start.
-
I suppose the author of this thread feels we should go 19-0 against the Royals and 6-0 against the D-Rays.
-
Don't forget that Dontrelle was ALSO a Cubs prospect....I think he was traded for Clement and (gulp) Alfonseca
-
edit: damn
-
1955 Brooklyn Dodgers were 25-6
-
Seattle Mariners of 2002 who won 110+ games started 29-12
-
Some preliminary research:
1984 Tigers started 35-5 (!!!!)
1998 Yankees (won 114 games) started 25-7
I wonder where our Sox rank with the best starts in baseball history?
-
Speed and Leads.
-
oh yeah and SOX WIN! !!!!! WOOO-HOOOO!
-
So if Vizcaino isn't being excused for pitching "out of his element" in that Cleveland blowup, he's "a little rusty"?
How bout this...the guy just plain SUCKS. I NEVER want to see this guy in a game.
-
well, I guess it's not that rare then.
Diaz lol.
-
Seriously, I don't know if I ever remember our entire rotation winning 5 in a row. Probably happened in 2000.
-
did you realize that White Sox starters have won the last six games in a row? Now that's rare.
-
Actually, it's pretty pathetic that you'd threaten to leave this forum because you don't like a few of the topics around here recently. Come on, man. This really isn't that big of a deal.

They still didn't give us any props when they said _________

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 5, 2005 -> 02:29 PM)He has allowed 3 runs in 6 innings since then, a 4.50 ERA.
Yeah, just saw that. Ozzie has stones, that's for sure.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 5, 2005 -> 02:21 PM)I would take the stud with the 0 ERA over the gamer with the over 6 ERA and 1.5 WHIP.
yeah but Shingo's ERA is tiny ever since that Cle game, no?
Interesting Outside the Lines on right now

Don't you guys remember 1991-1994? This town was a Sox town through and through during those years. We outdrew the Cubs, Wrigleyville was still a dump, and the Cubs couldn't make a right decision.
Only in the past ten years has this become a definitively Cubs town, and only because of Sammy Sosa, Harry Carey's death, the gentrification of Lakeview and a freer-spending tribune company.
If the Sox consistently make the playoffs for 2-3 years and draw well, and if any kind of development happens in the area around the Cell, this'll be a Sox town again.
The Cubs are seriously in dire straits with the way things have played out this season. Wood's career is all but over in my opinion (he won't even win 100 games in his career. Can you believe that?), Garciaparra looks like he's done, and the Cubs don't have any bullpen to protect their good starters. Plus, they now are extraordinarily weak in the outfield, positions where you really need power, especially in the NL. They might lose 90-100 games this season if the wheels come off and I can't see them being good next season with the impending firing of Baker (again, my opinion). They've overstretched their budget and the tribune co. is probably sick of dealing with Hendry.
