QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) We were already down 2. Not like we would have been able to come back from that.

Ugly Inning right there

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:48 PM) I think Fathom was referring more to Podsednik's second half, where he was pretty bad, by putting up a .284/.326/.356 line, and 14 caught stealings compared to only 15 stolen bases. Sheesh didn't know his stolen base ratio was so bad for the second half ...

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) It is still to early this season, but I'll admit hearing C-Lee rob a home run with his defense and then hitting a game winner today, has me wondering who did better in the trade. I'll take a World Series over Carlos any day of the week, month, or year.

Whoever called the sweep ... to you, ^^^ Blue Jays are going down.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 05:59 PM) Ever hear of "pitching to your defense?" Even the best strikeout pitchers put the ball in play 2/3's of the time. :rolly I know this doesn't really go along with Strikeout pitcher but look at Mark, he is by no means a strikeout guy so he uses the defense behind him to get the outs. He defiently "pitches to his defense".

QUOTE(UofIChiSox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) My main question is this.. Do they do the O-E-O Magglio thing there? Now that is a GOOOD question, interested to hear this anwser as well ...

QUOTE(Wanne @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) The Tiger broadcasters were going on and on about him and what a find for the Sox if he continued to pitch as he was. They were complimentary of the entire Sox team the entire series. They seem to have a great amount of respect for the Champs.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 04:14 PM) ^^^ I have to admit I wasn't that high on Thornton in ST but he seems to be pulling it together and thats a defenite plus for the pen. Agree, I don't expect him to throw with a low 2 ERA or 90 k's but the guy seems to be coming together and seems to be in his own now, hope he has a solid year.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 09:33 AM) I think he will do it by May. May!?? How much do you expect him to have by years end? But yeah I think Thome will end up passing Frank, The man's a beast when he's 100%.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) Looks more fluid. He's definitely throwing a lot more strikes, so I think it's a small change in mechanics and a big change mentally Gotta love the work Coop can do in such a small amount of time.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) Very much so. The best part might have been how he stayed composed. 3 of the weakest hits of the day loaded the bases, and instead of getting flustered by the bad luck, he threw more strikes and then K'd Granderson on another nasty slider to win it. I was really impressed. That's good, now I'm wondering since I've only seen him pitch twice this year. Once in ST and the other a couple of games back ... Has his windup changed drastically?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) He also K'ed Guillen on a nasty slider. so in other words ... Thornton looked pretty damn good, eh?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 06:38 AM) The white alternate cut-offs are my favorites. Those ones are pretty tight.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) this is a pointless post. anyone who actually freaked about a 1-4 start needs to get off the bandwagon... They Shouldn't have even been on it in the first place

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) If he thinks it's a good deal for him, then it is. He must've wanted to stay there to insist on a full no-trade, and 65 million is ridiculous money, whether or not there was MORE ridiculous money out there. He seems to want the security of knowing where he's going to play for the next 5 years, and now he has it. That's one thing I admire about players, well the honest ones.

QUOTE(chiguy79 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) rowand lost one in the sun, so did rollins, it was an ugly game defensively due to intense sun don't forget franks mouth is batting .800 with everett's mouth batting a close .750...hopefully they will just get over themselves sometime soon. Hmm well I know Everett took some more jabs in the paper this morning but as for Frank, he's been quite of late ... so I don't think you got the facts straight there...

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) I actually kind of like the camo type hats. But I don't think the Sox have one, but for some schools they do look really cool. Not a fan of the Camo myself but I've seen plenty of people walking around with the Sox Camo ... like I said ... :puke just my opinion however.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) that image is definitely a keeper! it's as good as :uhoh hehehe, I'm whipping that bad boy out after every game winner ... here's to me posting it 100 more times!

Didn't catch the game due to school but in the words of Hawk ...

Buehrle's been saying this for many years during the offseason, Nuthin new. He'll stay here no doubt, think he just likes to give Kenny a hard time.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 04:48 PM) That's exactly why you would DL him. Put him on a rehab stint, and let him get his timing down without hurting the major league team. If DL him then he will lose more at bats then he would gain, unless you mean allow him to get more games and at bats down in Charlotte, but if that's the case why even put him on the DL isntead of just bringing him down?
