Security/ushers sucked. I went to the bathroom in the 300 section all day because they had one person for the fundamentals and the 300 gate. Concourse was packed they need to find a way to fix this. Place was only about half full for the first pitch if that. Not sure where everyone was at. Good game

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) The Sharks have been on there a few times. I do not like having the Wings in the Hawks bracket.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) Opening Day represents all that is good with the world Yep

I wish people would stop using Sabermetrics as the reason the Red Sox are good and look at the money. Last I looked Seattle was not good last year ...oh and they have two of the top pitchers in the game. Oakland is a sabermetric team and they suck.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) I would be surprised if anyone could guess who it was. Mrs. White in the Study with the Candlestick I love CSN random hockey via Versus/Comcast Sharks v. Avs

so the worst offense in baseball cuts a player and the Sox should take a look

Curt Shilling on Baseball Tonight....wow does ESPN become even more unwatchable.

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 08:49 AM) According to Dish CSN Chicago isn't available in FL but I don't trust the first line of help at cable networks (after experiences with Comcast in Chicago). Ideally I would be able to get the games on my TV and not have to watch on the internet. You need to get the baseball package. These games are blacked out on these type of packages.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 08:53 AM) And The Ultimate Warrior has left the building..... What'd he do exactly beside being a fan of professional wrestling.....I guess that could be it.

Rios seems to be getting sporadic playing time.

Sometimes the goalie needs to win a game for you and last night that was it. I think that was the first time all season against a really good team that has happened. The seedings are looking really good for the Hawks right now. "Finnish" strong boys

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 1, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) Guess you missed the scene with Zoe this week asking Jin about Dharma and the electromagnetism of the island? A few folks I spoke to missed that. I think that is all going to come back into play.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 2, 2010 -> 09:28 AM) It's hard not to feel optimistic about a team whose manager was quoted on April 1 as saying, "he could use Vizquel or Juan Pierre occasionally at DH this season,"and was not joking. When your outfield is Jones, Rios and Quentin, your DH is gravy. everyone acts like the outfield is Mackowiak, Dye and Podsednik with Pierre as DH.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Apr 1, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) I found a lot of the Prime 9 picks and the order strange, Fisk's debut over Buehrle's perfect game..........Oh well, it is a good show though. I did not really agree with the order. 93 Bo was bigger than 83 as far as a moment goes but 83 team won by almost 20 games that was impressive and should have been noted. I thought 2005 as a whole would have been a good moment the El Duque thing was big but they all should have been one great moment with either 83 or 93 replacing the El Duque one and then they should have been reordered. The Thomas HR thing was a little off and not a fan of the Banies HR but I think those were great player moments. Glad they left off 1919. I gotta say sometimes I forget how big a part of this organization Hawk Harrelson is.......I like that.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Apr 2, 2010 -> 06:19 AM) No one wants to wish the weekend away, but Monday can't come soon enough. I haven't been as fired up about the start of baseball season in a long time. 2006?

It's a split squad as well I beleive. Remeber this when Snell throws a two hitter later this month.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 1, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) So Kane all of a sudden lost muscle and went back to being skinny? Got it. Yes as the season goes along a player will lose some of things that they gained in the offseason as they are not able to work as hard or often as they could in the offseason.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Apr 1, 2010 -> 09:23 AM) The first toe save Niemi made was spectacular, and the left-to-right stop he made (the third great save) was even better. Those saves on the 5-on-3 were game-changers. I'm not saying Niemi is Ken Dryden, but he's easily the better of the two choices the Hawks have. Damning with faint praise? Maybe. We'll see soon enough. I agree that the 5 on 3 could be a turning point as it could have gone the way of the Washington 5 on 3 a couple of weeks back but I think those were saves NHL goalies make. The other two saves on that situation hit him in teh shoulder and allowed rebounds. If he plays like he did last night they have a shot if the offense picks it up.

Liked the game but come on it was Minnesota. The defense looked good but I would say that the spectacular saves Neimi made according to the tv were nothing all that great. He still flops around way to much for me to consider him anything above ok. The fourth line saved them again and I am starting to think that all of the offseason work Kane did that we heard about earlier in the year is gone. Other than Sharp the top two lines of this team look really tired.

I had a dream last night that at 10:20 PM KW called me and I was living at my parents house. I was 32 years old and was traded to the Seattle Mariners for Rudy Jarmilllio. I was really pissed and told him I was going to retire. At 12:00 I tried to get the caller id to work to call him back and let me know I was ok with the trade but could not get the caller id to work. I got ahold of soembody that was not KW, it was a 630 number...then I woke up.

Spring Training is useful for those trying to make or stay on the team. See Dolsi, Cabrerra, Santos...... Where is Freddy in this, nowhere but I think he could be in trouble quickly.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 03:44 PM) I wonder how many innings it will take before people are calling for Hudson to replace Garcia? I will say four starts.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 03:02 PM) ESPN is just basically saying F you to all non east coast teams... granted I haven't checked every game they've shown, but all the ones I've seen have featured the Mets, NYY or Boston Red Sox and while flipping through the channels I have seen multiple times on BBTN that they have had 2 rotating members of ESPN Radio in NY on the set... Well, guess like my MLBN viewership over ESPN will be 100% this year instead of 95%... it's just ridiculous... Since 1/1/2009 there is no reason to watch ESPN for baseball. The products are not even comparable. The talent on the MLBN is light years ahead of ESPN. Is Fernando Vina still hanging in there?

QUOTE (Real @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) garcia pitching again? why isnt peavy pitching? this is becoming odd Indians would face him again next Wednesday. Also get him a game closer to his first start next wednesday and not have a week off.

QUOTE (Downtown518 @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) I don't want to start a thread for this question, so I will just post it here: Does anyone know what number the front row is in sections 157,158,106,107? These are the outfield sections behind the bullpens, if I remember correctly the rows don't start with 1 in these sections. Thanks! LF is 10 I think not sure about RF
