SoxPride56 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) Any idea on what happened in the intersquad game today? Here you go! Notes: Playing it right from the start 02/27/2006 7:30 PM ET By Owen Perkins / Special to MLB.com TUCSON, Ariz. -- Opening Day is still more than a month away, but the White Sox got their first taste of game action Monday, playing a loose intrasquad game that nevertheless put the Sox style of play into sharp focus. Manager Ozzie Guillen was in midseason form, emphasizing situational hitting, pushing his players, and even risking an intrasquad ejection when he jokingly called the umpire a "liar" for calling a pitch a ball. "Today, I started playing the game the right way," Guillen said. "That's the way we're going to play. We had three situations to move the guy over, and we did it three times. A couple guys stole bases. We played the infield in when situations came up." Guillen acknowledged that many people discount intrasquad games, when pitchers are sharply focused on a particular fundamental rather than the entire situation, and some hitters bat every inning to ensure getting enough at-bats before heading for a workout while another player takes their place. But Guillen enjoyed the opportunity to see a squad full of "go-getters" committed to taking the game seriously from the start. "I don't care about the hits," said Guillen. "Just play the game right. This is the way to do it from the first day of Spring Training." That first sampling of spring competition gave Guillen the chance to stress the team values that would enable the club to move forward in 2006, and he made no bones about letting go of the lingering taste of the team's championship champagne. "It's a great feeling out there when it's the end of October and you're still playing," Guillen said. "We still have the taste in our mouth of how good it was. "But our World Series party was over Feb. 18. You already got paid for that. You got a ring. 2005 is the past. Nice past, [but] we cannot live in the past. We have to take it day by day. Today is a good example. I went out there and told the guys, 'Make sure you move the guy over; make sure you do this.' It's our job to get better. I guarantee every time we take the field it's going to be the 2006 Chicago White Sox, not 2005." Hurt's retort: General manager Ken Williams and former Sox slugger Frank Thomas spoke on the phone Sunday night after a pair of sharp "point-counterpoint" comments made about each other through news outlets. Thomas told reporters at the A's Spring Training facility that the conversation was lengthy and heated and that he considered the matter closed. Published comments from Thomas sparked the public feuding, and Williams finally responded Sunday after taking offense at the Big Hurt's comments. On Monday, Thomas called Williams' published comments "childish" and "a bunch of noise," adding, "As far as love lost, there was not much love there, anyway," "The bottom line is [that] I had a wonderful time in Chicago, and I don't see it necessary to tear that down on the way out the door," Thomas concluded. In the swing: Jim Thome had a good outing in his first game situations since a Minor League rehab assignment in Class A Clearwater last August. Squaring off against Mark Buehrle, Thome went 1-for-2 with a pair of hard-hit balls in Monday's intrasquad game. "I've been out half the year, so today was a big day for me, getting out there, just seeing the pitching," Thome said. "The two balls I hit were good passes. For me, that's where I look. What kind of passes, how I feel in the box. Being out half the year, I was really happy with the first day, for sure." Start me up: Buehrle and Brandon McCarthy got the starts in Monday's intrasquad affair, and both were satisfied with what they accomplished in their initial outings. "It was kind of rough," admitted McCarthy of his 50-pitch outing, yielding seven hits and three runs in two innings. "It's a starting point. I was trying to be a little too fine with everything. Mechanically, I'm not where I need to be. That's expected right now. Now, we know what we have to work on. In a couple weeks I certainly wouldn't be happy with a performance like that." Buehrle was considerably more efficient, getting through four innings on 41 pitches while giving up seven hits and two runs, with Guillen and pitching coach Don Cooper often extending his innings beyond three outs so that he could get more pitches in. "I'm used to getting three outs an inning, not six or seven," said Buehrle. "They're hacking at the first pitch. Five pitches and you got three outs already. You'd like to get deeper in counts and try to work on your stuff. But overall I'm pretty happy. "I think I'll be ready for Opening Day," Buehrle added. "I could go right now."

Great Pitching, a ton of home runs (most very timely), a loose clubhouse, and then some bunting and base stealing. Common referred to as "Ozzieball", even though that term and idea is a myth, as the first 3 reasons are more than 90 percent of why we won it all. *ducks* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
