White Sox pitcher Jose Contreras will start Friday night against Minnesota, followed by Bartolo Colon on Saturday.

“We just feel better that way,” manager Ozzie Guillen said Tuesday, adding that Gavin Floyd would have been the Opening Day starter had Tuesday’s game been postponed.

i believe the ball must have ricocheted of teh RF

and really is moving towards the infield.

It is freaky-deky, because it looks like the ball is travelling forward as normal, but everyone else is in reverse/

When was the last time a Sox opening day starter lasted 3 innings?

Can’t remember Not Johnny-Condition Guy lasting 2 full. Meche on the other hand has been pretty good in openers lately.

Just a couple quick ones I think you'll like

Sports bars:
1. Coppersmith’s (9th ave b/w 52nd and 53rd) – Best sports bar in the area…depending on night, good specials. They have the MLB package and will put the Sox on if you ask.
2. 123 Burger Shot Beer (10th Ave b/w 50th and 51st) – $1 burgers (white castle style), $2 shots (girly shots) and $3 beers (all beers even import taps). Plus, the chicks wear next to nothing…all in all a good spot.

Deli: Gourmet Deli (9th ave b/w 51st and 52nd) – right near these two bars…cheap and very good.

The bars are more pregame type spots, but I think you’ll like.

by Crede's Crew on Apr 7, 2009 12:35 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

thanks. i'll make a note.

staying at the waldorf, so those spots are pretty close.

Paying her for drinks and wanking to the spare change she gives you does not equal "seeing".

Bartenders = strippers. She’s really not that into you.

MLB Radio help

So, I may be screwed. Does anyone have Verizon here? If so, do you know if we no longer get the MLB radio package? It’s no longer an available app. for me to buy.

Also, I’m in a large building which is not close enough to the city to use a regular radio, so I usually listen to the Score streaming on the computer, but that’s not an option during games.

I am considering purchasing the MLB radio online, but before I do, I’d like to know if anyone else has bought the “audio only” option? How’s the quality? I wouldn’t be able to get away with watching video at my work, so that’s not an option for me. Or if Verizon is still offering the radio option and it’s just my phone that is having issues that’d be great to know.

Thanks.

by Grinder in Training on Apr 7, 2009 12:30 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah, Verizon had that last year. I know IPhone does, but does Verizon still offer it, or did AT&T buy the rights to it?
