Upgraded just because I'm having fun

Nicely tagged as well... Though the second Jerry Owens is redundant. You only need to tag them in the specified player area.

You're welcome

Gotta feel this stuff out by the time CC opens up.

I really hope this means Anderson is the CF on opening day, and not Flash.

big surprise here

i'm shocked - shocked! - to find out that a player who relies on speed would be nagged by an injury such as this.

speed doesn't slump

it just gets pulled

First time for everything?!?!

I, too, was taught karate by an old asian man who was the maintenance man in my building.

The best laid plans of mice and men...............

Was that a ground out to 2nd for Owens?

by ballyb on Mar 25, 2008 4:50 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

This is poetic justice

Apparently Owens takes after Pods in injuries as well.

Crede's back will probably go out in the 9th inning

and Guillen and Williams will be like, WTF.

It's ironic

I was recently arguing with a friend that JO could give the Sox what Podsednik did in '05. Apparently he is going to give them what Pods gave in '06 and '07 first.

We can make up our own tags?

If so, that's outstanding. For this one, I would've went with something like "Hans Moleman Related Injuries" or "OUCH MY GROIN!"

I think this is speed slumping

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.

no, speed never slumps

he's recharging!

SPEED doesn't slump, it limps.

hey, Cheat:

can we "rec" a headline? I mean, you know, maybe like a pushbutton version of keeping one's fingers crossed?
of course this is only good news if Swisher assumes the leadoff (cough) position.

Next time, Bhoov, do some research.

are tags case-sensitive?

any difference between MLB and mlb?

by The Wizard on Mar 25, 2008 6:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

no

tags aren't case sensitive...

the player and teams should auto-complete, but you need to change the drop down to NBA if you decide to, for some unknown reason, write about Kirk Hinrich

I tried to post a comment and kept getting error messages. But as long as you're here:
does the "universal sign- in" mean cub fans or other trolls can post with impunity? Could some recent posts be from them trying to stir the $&@! so to speak?

Next time, Bhoov, do some research.

No

You can be banned on one site, but still post on the others...

WTGTD is definitely SoB, so it's just our usual shit-stirrer.

Ya know, I actually feel bad for him

As happy as I am to not see him siphoning up ABs at leadoff, it's kind of sad that a career minor leaguer was getting a golden chance to do something in the majors only to be brought down by injury before the season even starts. Tut mir leid mein lieber Jerry, aber nicht weh.

by ChicagoPete on Mar 25, 2008 6:16 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

you young softiee

Id agree after the Sox are out of contention. But I at least want to see the best team possible to start the season. And, opinion only, it doesn't include Pods junior.

Next time, Bhoov, do some research.

by Chiburb on Mar 25, 2008 6:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

hah

But but but....he learned how to bunt this spring. And the speed, my God, the speed!

by ChicagoPete on Mar 25, 2008 6:51 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

yeah, nobody went faster from home

to 1st on a grounder to second.
Cheers!

Sweet news...

"Owens on DL"

TUCSON, Ariz. -- White Sox center fielder Jerry Owens will start the regular season on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Monday, after an MRI Tuesday revealed a slight tear in his right adductor muscle.
The move means that Brian Anderson and Carlos Quentin likely will make the Opening Day roster, with Alexei Ramirez and Anderson playing most of the time in center field.
Owens said he aggravated the area while running around second on a triple in Sunday's game against Kansas City. He originally hurt his groin in an intrasquad game on Feb. 25.
The Sox are down to one decision on their 25-man roster -- selecting either Ehren Wasserman or Nick Masset for the final bullpen spot.

by SSH2005 on Mar 25, 2008 6:31 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

solid

fields over crede would be better but, overall, the roster is about what i'd want it to be, based on what we have and the injuries. let's go ehren. or, more specifically, let's go arizona: you need to light up masset.

by larry on Mar 25, 2008 6:33 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm pleased to see CQ make the roster as well

Who would you like to see get the majority of the playing time between CQ, BA and Alexei in the outfield, as well as between Alexei, Uribe and even Pablo, I suppose, in the infield?

I, too, was taught karate by an old asian man who was the maintenance man in my building.

by MarketMaker on Mar 25, 2008 7:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

hopefully BA as the starting CF

by Jbasic89 on Mar 25, 2008 6:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Place your bets gentlemen

I'm in Vegas all week - I'm gonna run down to the sports book and lay down some heavy action on the CWS to win the whole enchilada this year. Who's with me?!?!

Actually, I'm kinda liking the Under. This team has the unmistakable stench of major suck about it this spring.

by ChicagoPete on Mar 25, 2008 6:56 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Here's my opening day lineup with today's revelations:

Swisher 7 Cabrera 6 Konerko 3 Dye 9 Quentin DH Crede 5 Uribe 4 Hall 2 Anderson 8.......you could talk me into Ramirez for Anderson or Uribe, and, if so, that may change the order some.

by dantesox on Mar 25, 2008 7:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

sorry, only SSH has lineup rights...

And you're forgetting that Ozuna will lead off on opening day. To answer question, I want BA in CF until Owens comes back. Then, if he's earned, keep him there. No more 17 AB for BA to prove himself a "failure".

Next time, Bhoov, do some research.

by Chiburb on Mar 25, 2008 7:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I know Ozuna's

gonna lead-off. This is the better lineup.

by dantesox on Mar 25, 2008 7:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

"forgetting that Ozuna will lead off "

AND you're sitting HOF Thome on Opening Day?

Shame on you.

Was that a ground out to 2nd for Owens?

Mayhaps

he will never recover from the slight.

by ballyb on Mar 25, 2008 7:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

That's right.

Today ,during the radio broadcast ,Farmio, who is atrocious, said Thome should play except against selected "tough" lefthanders. UH, NO, fARMIO....he should ONLY BE ALLOWED to play versus selected lefthanders, and there aren't very many of them.

I'm with you.

I really like big Jim.

He's a great bat off the bench versus righties in the games he sits.....what would that be?....About 30% of them?

by dantesox on Mar 25, 2008 7:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

His chances of being a factor is greater

in that one late game, pivotal at-bat than it would be looking pathetic 3 or 4 times against a lefty.

by dantesox on Mar 25, 2008 7:30 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Actually,

Quentin should be in right and Dye DH.

by dantesox on Mar 25, 2008 8:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Or

swap Quentin and Swisher.

by dantesox on Mar 25, 2008 8:13 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I don't know

if I have ever seen a team more handcuffed by having to pay veterans their 'due' instead of fielding the best team. I mean, Crede at 3B, Dye in right, and Thome against lefties? They're only there because they've 'earned it,' while not one, let alone all three, would take place on a team run strictly by logic.

Yeah, Ozzie's a player's manager and all, but a third of the team is playing out of position or hitting when they shouldn't be. We're taking ourselves out of games before stepping onto the field.
