The Ginger Kid

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ May 29, 2007 -> 07:15 AM) This trip should be a ton of fun. The tickets are purchased...now, where to stay? I want to stay at the Sox hotel. Anyone know where they stay in Baaahhh-stin? Maybe I can find Buerhle in the bar and get him to sign my ticket stub from the no-hitter. I've been to several games there. My experience was terrific every time -- enjoy!

It's a question of talent. Maybe Ozzie could make a move here or there that could win a few games over the course of the season, but I don't know. It still comes down to talent and the White Sox don't have the talent of the Red Sox, Tigers or Indians. So I'm going to watch this season with the hope that they remain competetive and maybe, just maybe, find themselves with a chance at the post season in September.

uribe will be fine, he's taking more walks than he ever has. That will pay off eventually. agree on mack, he's gutting it out.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 28, 2007 -> 12:38 PM) I'm sure glad we decided to play 3 lefties against Santana today. please, we've seen what a lineup stacked with righties can do against this guy.

I hope we stay close. Nathan has been living on the edge a bit lately, on the verge of blowing a save.

they should just call it defensive indifference when the count is pitching.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 28, 2007 -> 12:28 PM) Ryan Freel taken off the field on stretcher. that's awful, what happened?

We got no chance if the count is too chicken s*** to throw strikes

jimmy's gonna be sporting the golden sombrero tonight.

i think the twins should let torii walk and sign ichiro for whatever he wants. He'll hit .400 on turf.

CLEARLY, terrero didn't get the memo to roll over and play dead when facing Johan.

QUOTE(lemon44 @ May 28, 2007 -> 11:54 AM) This game is over. i loved chet lemon

i feel a blowout coming

2 runs. game.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 27, 2007 -> 02:13 PM) Owens is just what this team needs. A lefty slap hitter who stinks on defense and can't hit LHP. he can actually run too, which is more than I can say for anyone in our starting lineup.

I look forward to seeing Jerry Owens get a shot (I assume he's on his way). Who can come up for Crisco? Wouldn't mind seeing Russel get a chance.

I can't see how he'd come back this year.

i think i like big two out hits more than home runs...

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 27, 2007 -> 11:07 AM) Get em Sox! what do you think the Sox should give up to get Crawford?

QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 27, 2007 -> 09:28 AM) Pretty good list, but I think there are about 100,000 more you could add to that list. Thread probably belongs in The Diamond Club. I ran into the your avatar at a 7-11 yesterday.

Dodgers are looking for a third baseman. Crede could bring some talent to the outfield.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 26, 2007 -> 07:58 AM) Buster Olney on his insider blog was talking about the CF free agents after this season. He was mentioning that very few of the teams that like to spend money will be looking to do so on CFers. Cameron, Ichiro, Hunter and Jones are the 4 big ones. He figures Cameron will get a lot of interest because he will be the cheapest. He thinks he will go to Atlanta. He thinks Texas with sign Hunter, who is from around there. He thinks Jones will sign with Seattle and Ichiro with the White Sox. I don't know if he's ever been right, and its a long time between now and the end of the season, but this looks like a pretty good scenerio to me. better sign Iguchi to sweeten the saki

Despite the bullpen's recent woes, we still have the 4th best ERA in the AL, ahead of all the others in our division. Cleveland is ranked 8th, middle of the pack, and I don't see that changing. I think in the end it's going to come down to pitching. The tribe's bats will cool down and there's no way the Sox are going to keep hitting .234 all season. I still think minny makes a move in the standings, Baker and Boof will pitch well and once Mauer comes back they'll hit better. I don't think Rogers is going to make a big difference for the tigers. Team with the best pitching will win it. Oh, and we're only one game back of detroit in the loss colum.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 26, 2007 -> 12:49 PM) Edwin Jackson... Once considered a top pitching prospect by the Dodgers. From what I remember, he brings the heat. he was untouchable at one point with the dodgers. on another note, ozzie's saying pods isn't even close to returning, that they're looking at July now. When is this team going to get a starting LF?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 24, 2007 -> 12:05 PM) Scary how good the leadoff hitters for the Tigers and Indians are going to be for the next 10 years. There's no doubt in my mind that the only chance the Sox have to make the playoffs is via the Wild Card. With that in mind, I think the Indians and Yankees are our biggest competitors. I would agree if those teams didn't have so many question marks in their starting rotation. 1-5 I still think we have the best starters in the division.
