QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) Funny, the video feed is only in the 3rd inning Since yesterday against the Cubs, 28 outs in a row. At least the infield defense looks strong with Escobar, Martinez and Lillibridge looking more and more comfortable on the infield. Stults with a 1-2-3 top of the 5th. Konerko single finally breaks the string. Line drive to LF. Of course, it was off Feldman, not Colby Lewis.

28 outs in a row for the Sox. Please, please bring Brooks Boyer back to try to plug some season ticket packages and keep fans from StubHub with the dynamic pricing lecture. Start to feel a bit sorry for that guy. Not the easiest job in the world. Eric Stults on for the Sox. Stewart pitched much better than his last time out. And Rios badly misplayed another ball in RF. Yeah yeah, the swirling winds and high sky excuse, but took a horrible circuitous route according to DJ.

Cespedes is making his debut for the A's today. Things have really quieted down about Soler the last couple of weeks, haven't they? Immigration/visa/mlb clearance issues. Konerko and Dunn both K. Yikes. Almost 7 innings without a hit. Strikes out the side, AJ goes down next. 4 K's in two innings for Lewis.

Five base runners in 2 innings isn't going to work. Axelrod seems to be afraid to challenge batters inside, nibbling a bit. My video just froze too, before that final out to get out of the inning to the OF. 1-0 Rangers, bottom of 2nd.

Axelrod loads the bases with no outs. Not looking good. Martinez not having the most impressive range at SS. Forceout at 2B, run scores, followed by weak flip out to CF, runner has to hold at third...Fukudome kept the throw down at least in CF.

Any suggestions? Hmmm, not sure to get it online unless you pay $14.99 for MLB Gameday Audio. But maybe someone else can help. The games also used to be carried at ilemi.eu, but those are regular season games.

Thanks. Lillibridge overmatched on a high fastball...a little bit far off the plate. Not a single hit for the White Sox since the 4th inning Viciedo knock yesterday. Threatening to be about as boring offensively as last year. Maybe Mitchell will continue to impress, there's that.

I'm listening to SCORE here at 415 am in China. MLB.com has it at Gameday Audio, I think they also have the Rangers' announcers as well.

Axelrod with first pitch. Interesting to see that they're giving Ozzie Martinez more playing time at SS and Escobar/Lillibridge more at 2B/3B. Borbon strikes out, breaking ball. DJ claims there's some pressure on Dylan to pick it up today after getting bombed the first time out. One hit surrendered, but gets out of the inning. Next SCORE radio broadcast is a full week from now. Yikes. More Melton or other teams' broadcasters.

Not Statham's best, not nearly his worst.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) But we won a game... What I meant was the last time we started out this poorly in the spring, it was 2007. Hopefully there's zero correlation.

The Kid and His Bike is an excellent (French) film. Should be shown to all parents wanting to adopt a teenage child from a foster home.

Quentin was known to have a strong or at least above average arm. We saw glimpses, but never on a consistent basis. As far as Short goes, he was always going to struggle to make it at any position besides CF (where he's not suited) because of his lack of power and relatively low walk rate. He was/is a little bit similar to John Shelby, Jr., albeit with a higher batting average and a bit less athleticism.

There are a lot of analogies with Weber and Tom Davis, although Davis had a track record with Stanford and BC previously. Davis did very well with George Raveling's recruits (almost made the Final 4 and had a #1 ranking in the mid-80's) and then from that point on, the best he could do was usually getting to the NCAA's and losing in the 2nd round to an ACC superpower. Ultimately, it always comes down to recruiting, and when you have Chicago at your doorstep, you have to lock down those recruits. Ultimately, Tom Davis lost his job at Iowa because he couldn't keep Raef LaFrentz, Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison in-state. In retrospect, be careful what you wish for...after Davis led them to the Sweet 16 his final year, there's been a grand total of one NCAA tourney win in the past 10+ years, over Creighton. Then following year, when some were picking them #1 in the country preseason, they totally collapsed with a 5-11 BIG 10 record. In their other two appearances, first round losses to Cincinnati and the devastating loss to Northwestern (LA) State in 2006 when they were up by 17 in the second half as the #3 seed. They hired too "glamour" choices in Steve Alford and Todd Lickliter had the former NCAA Coach of the Year record on his resume, but winning at Iowa is always going to be about recruiting, plain and simple. And they can't hire JUST a recruiter or they'll end up with another version of Ron Zook.

Well, we started out 0-4 in the spring of 2007. That was certainly not a positive harbinger of things to come. Let's hope there is no correlation this time.

Sale threw an 0-2 fastball, center cut, which was Farmer was complaining about. He walked the previous batter on a 3-2 change. Earlier in the line-up, he did K a guy with an 0-2 fastball, so DJ was defending the pitch selection.

How many hits did he have all last season against LHP? Something like 6 or 8?

DeAza better not keep repeating that throw through to the plate and putting runners at 2B when they should be at first still. Saw that enough with Rios last year. Sveum's the 52nd manager of Cubs. In the 1950's, they had "head coaches" and not managers, interesting.

Mike Davis, haha. Steve Alford. Deion Thomas. Bruce Pearl.

After taxes, I make $2200 per month here in China. But I don't have to pay anything for my apartment, no car payments/insurance, internet is free, no house payments/insurance, maybe $15-20 USD for cell phone...I actually end up saving about $1500 per month, on average. If you gave me $50,000, I could happily live for a couple of years on the beach in Thailand, the Philippines, SW Cambodia (Sihanoukville), Nha Trang Vietnam, Penang, Malaysia, or 3 years on the beach in Myanmar.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 11:02 AM) The Sox have already been quoted as saying they want their last guy out of the pen to be a multi inning guy. Santiago fits that mold. Two of them, with the other possibly being Axelrod or Castro, and uncertainty surrounding Zach Stewart's future as a starter/reliever.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 12:18 AM) That's the problem with the books as well. The original characters just go away and you lose the original connection. The new cousin (whose name I refuse to look up) was absurdly annoying in the most recent movie too. Considering that I may or may not watch another movie if they make one. A Thousand Words 3 year delayed Eddie Murphy project which has managed both 0 positive reviews out of 15 AND a 0.00% positive rating at Rotten Tomatoes. That's almost impossible to do. Will probably go down at next year's Razzies as one of the five worst.
