the white sox need some lefty depth. when i saw the royals released him, i was sure KW was going to grab him then. but, yeah, if he’s on the team that means some bad things have occurred at the major league level.

I just remember last year my dad and I were at a marathon game

and in the midst of Konerko’s struggles my dad said “if he can’t hit this guy he should retire”… sure enough Konerko hit a walk off homer. My dad (who hates konerko more than me) then proclaimed “the only guy he would have homered against was Jimmy Fucking Gobble”!

“I never thought I’d miss my start,” said Buehrle, added that he has pitched with pain for 10 years.

any opinions on mlb gameday audio vs the mlb at bat iphone app?

iphone app sounds like a better deal, but i’m worried about streaming audio over my data connection killing the battery.

by hugh on Apr 5, 2009 3:16 PM CDT reply actions

pandora doesn't kill mine, though i really only have it on like a half-hour/hour at a time in transit

here’s to hoping the mlb app guys are just as frugal.

if you’re considering the audio package, you’re probably figuring on being near a computer when you’re consuming the game anyways. if so, you can just plug in for power there if you’re worried about battery life. the app at least offers something that’s always-on and more mobile than a laptop. however, the audio package allows the option of using different computers to connect, where the app bolts you to your phone/ipod for access.

just my 2 cents.

by BoeJouma on Apr 5, 2009 4:54 PM CDT up reply actions

the proof in the pudding is going to be portability, really

pandora handles the user being mobile very well and switches between networks easy and without drops in service. it buffers if there’s a break and tries to give the user a seamless experience. the public radio tuner app, for example, does not and their people are supposedly working on fixing that. it doesn’t reconnect if there’s a switch in network and frequently drops off and requires the user to reconnect. if i can turn on the app, pick a game, and go from wifi to 3g to edge or whatever while i’m traveling and don’t have to touch it, then it’s successfully replaced the xm option for listening to games on a portable in those service areas that support the phone.

Masset beats out Homer Bailey for long relief role

Need I say more?

Bailey and Owings had a spirited battle for the rotation’s fifth spot this spring. Bailey finished with a 2.61 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings over six games. Owings had a 1.52 ERA in six starts with 24 strikeouts.

There was consideration to keep Bailey in the long reliever role that ultimately went to Nick Masset, who was out of options.

Dye laid out his plan for dealing with the cold. He wants to stay away from wearing a great amount of extra clothes because then he starts to feel bulky. So, Dye will wear some sleeves and possibly tights underneath his uniform pants, while putting on liberal doses of Vaseline.
