Welcome back...feel free to stay....and to read that kickass series preview.

Probably half and half...today the bruise is really coming out...

Of course my 16 year old cousin hit 47 of 50....he's a little better than me.

One of the things has to be a ticket stub form the Cyclone- Hawkeye game this year. That game was amazing....various signed Cyclone stuff....Bagwell autographed baseball.....i dunno what else

Just don't f*** with Iowa!

http://whitesox.theinsiders.com/2/112193.html by Alex Ernst May 23, 2003 Opponent : Detroit Tigers Record : 10-35, .222, 16.5 GB (AL Central) Place : U.S. Cellular Field Time & TV : Game 1: 7:05 p.m. (WCIU); Game 2: 6:05 p.m. (FSN); Game 3: 1:05 p.m. (FSN) 2002 Record vs Sox : 7-12 2003 Record vs Sox : 1-5 THE LATEST The Tigers biggest offensive threat is Bobby Higginson with a .272 average. Detroit has only two batters over .250, and only two more regulars over .200. The Tigers are led in the pitching department with starter Nate Cornejo (3-3, 3.23) and reliever Chris Spurling (0-0, 2.95). Only three of the Detroit starter's have more strikeouts than walks. When on base, you can run as they have only thrown out 22% of base stealers. WHO'S HOT (Last 7 days) Carlos Pena, 1B : .385, 3 HR, 7 RBI, .808 SLG, 21 total bases, 2 2B --Pena, a .234 hitter so far this year, lit up the Indians for three homers in one game in their last series. Of course, the Tigers lost that game. Pena had an opportunity late in the game to tie it, but failed to reach base. WHO'S NOT (Last 7 days) Shane Halter, 2B : . 067, 1 hit in 15 at-bats, 6 K, 1 GIDP, 2 E --Halter, to sum it up, has not had a good week. He hasn't seen the ball well at the plate or at second base. Halter is also batting under .200 against lefties. PITCHING PROBABLES Game #1 : Mike Maroth (0-9, 5.73, 29 K) vs. Jon Garland (2-4, 6.10, 20 K) --Mike Maroth is one of the better 0-9 pitchers there is. Earlier this year he had a no-hitter deep into a game until the Tiger defense let him down. Opponents are batting .259 off the 25-year-old lefty. However, Maroth's ERA has steadily been rising. Game #2 : Gary Knotts (1-3, 4.81, 18 K) vs. Esteban Loaiza (7-1, 1.99, 48 K) --Knotts has been a somewhat dependable starter this year in all but three of his starts, but has not been dependable getting his pitches over the plate. Knotts has the same number of walks as strikeouts, 18, and has given up a homer in nearly every game. Knotts has been hit as of late, only lasting 4 1/3 innings, with seven hits, five runs and four walks in his last start. Game #3 : Adam Bernero (0-6, 5.87, 25 K) vs. Danny Wright (0-2, 6.59,7 K) --Bernero is catching up to Mike Maroth in the loss column with six of his own. His starts have progressively gotten worse and has failed to pitch a game without a walk. He has also given up no fewer than five hits and two runs in every start. Opponents are batting .285 off this finesse pitcher. KEY TO THE SERIES Quality pitching and fielding - The Sox need good starts from all three pitchers, even though it is Detroit, especially from Garland who will have the threat of a demotion until he shows consistency. And the defense needs to do its part as the Sox defense has usually reflected the outcome of the game.

Is that Tetsu starting?

Do any of you do this? I did it tonite and hit 23 out of fifty on my first ever try. I enjoyed it, and wondered if any of you do too.

These minors reports kick ass.

Whoever the starting catcher is....

Yeah. It wasn't about the Sox so I moved it here.

Cleveland looks real good down the line. Made some good trades and acquistions.

Well, at least the Tigers one wont make me think of how crappy the Sox are...

Was this as craptacular as the first one? I only had 30 minutes to work on it.
