southsider2k5 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) Did anyone see Thorton´s velocity? Was it low 90´s or mid to high 90´s? 95-96 on the CSN gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everafan Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 QUOTE (whitesox901 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:58 AM) Great game. Everything went our way. We hit, ran, pitched and defended well. I'm glad to see the offense carry over from the Braves series and I hope that this is going to set the trend for the season. However, it was just the AAA Cleveland Indians. Every year there are Indian apologists - people who think Shapiro is some kind of SABR genius even though he couldn't win when he had Lee, Sabathia, Hafner, and Sizemore in their prime. This is why he won GM of the year in 05. Rob Neyer believes the ALC shakes out like this AL CENTRAL 1. Twins - 85 2. Indians - 81 3. White Sox - 77 4. Tigers - 76 5. Royals - 72 The Twins would have been big favorites if they hadn't lost Joe Nathan. Now they're just favorites. And yes, the Indians went 67-95 last year. But somebody has to be this year's big surprise, right? Fausto Carmona, Travis Hafner and Grady Sizemore all played exceptionally well in spring training. The Indians have a new manager. I'm just saying, don't be shocked if they do something amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 If Thornton had that same stuff and command all season, I don't think anybody would mind him being our permanent closer. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. I wouldn't mind either if they got another LHP to replace his BP spot. Having Randy Williams as the only other lefty is rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 12:55 PM) If Thornton had that same stuff and command all season, I don't think anybody would mind him being our permanent closer. Wow. If Jenks can produce basically what he has over the past few seasons, you leave Thornton where he is. He's argubly the best lefty set-up guy in baseball right now, and it shows how good that Borchard for Thornton deal was back in the day.

greg775 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 'The catch felt better than the homer because that's the first time I've made a catch to end a game like that,'' Rios said. ''It was pretty nice. ''Last year when I got traded here, I didn't know the guys as a family. Now that I started the year with them, I got to know them better, and it feels like home now.'' Didn't want to start a new thread on this, but it was a nice bit at the end of the Sun Times game story on our opening win. Nice opening game for Rios. Hopefully the good feeling he has will carry over into a great start this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 09:12 PM) Juan Uribe's catch in game 4 was pretty damn good as well even with the 3 game cushion in the series. I agree, 3 game cushion or not, if we're going with situation being involved, Uribe's play is tops for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 05:16 PM) It really is a great feeling. Pitch a shut out on opening day and be able to come back with Jake Peavy.
