Woot.

I Heart Sizemore.

Season Leadoff HR.

By the way, STO needs to dump their new on-screen graphic showing the score, count, etc. That is HORRIBLE. Takes up the top left 1/4 of the screen.

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:15 pm

2-0. Four straight hits to start the season. Still the 1st inning and no one out, 2 guys on and rally killer Blake is up.

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:21 pm

Wow. That was some nice hitting by Peralta. 0-2 count with 2 out and 2 on, and he cuts down on the swing and slaps it to RF for the RBI single.

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:22 pm

Barfield with a 2 RBI triple!

by **swerb** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:26 pm

5-0.

Great start. Barfield bay-bee.

by **BruceK** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:33 pm

In my other fantasy team, I have Sizemore, Hafner, and Victor. That was a good way to start the season.

Luckily, I don't have CC

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:33 pm

CC having some control issues. Erstad HAMMERED that pitch.

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:37 pm

Ball is FLYING out of the ballpark. Thome and Dye hit routine fly balls that end up to the warning track.

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:38 pm

And Crede flies out to the warning track.

by **BruceK** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:40 pm

Just checked the weather at Midway Airport a few miles away. Wind out of the west (blowing out) at 12 to 14 miles an hour

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:41 pm

Damn, Sizemore just missed a second homer....crushed that one. Hooked foul.

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:47 pm

7-2 now. Nixon double and Hafner RBI FC that scores two on a throwing error.

by **pup** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:49 pm

You sure do have to hand it to Shapiro. I love that Nixon signing! :eek :shock:

by **swerb** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:51 pm

Dellucci intentionally walked. That is excellent.

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:53 pm

Peralta with a nice short swing for a two RBI rope up the middle.

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:12 pm

11-2. Victor with a 2 out 2-run double to deep center.

by **sandlot33** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:14 pm

this is awesome

by **docstank** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:18 pm

by **sandlot33** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:19 pm

by **BruceK** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:20 pm

This is getting better and better.

Only thing better is somebody foul tips a nasty one of AJ

by **docstank** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:21 pm

by **consigliere** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:33 pm

Does anyone like AJ? :lol:

by **BruceK** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:39 pm

I heard even AJ's Mom thinks he's an asshole

beautiful

Unfortunately for me this series is in Chicago so I get the crappy Comcast broadcast. Ya'll up there probably haven't seen the ChiSox broadcasts, but their game callers are the worst I have ever heard in all of baseball. They are horrible homers who rarely know much of anything about the opposing team and always refer to their competitors as "the bad guys" - never using the true name of the team they are playing.

After Konerko made it 11-3 in favor of the Tribe it sounded like these guys were doing a jig. They even went so far as to say that the Sox weren't doing "that bad" today, giving no credit to Tribe hitters for being all over them.

I've watched games broadcast by the home crews for every MLB team that I can think of (one of the benefits of Extra Innings) over the past few years and none come close to being as bad as these bozos. I hate the Yankees, but their broadcasters are professional, know the opponent, and have no problem complimenting the opposing team when they deserve it. The White Sox, IMHO, are trash from top-to-bottom in their organization.

Don't worry -- most of us have heard the White Sox announcers; lots of cable systems up here get WGN.

I think you were too nice to them.

by **swerb** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 6:13 pm

They still do "Picks To Click"?

I hate those guys ....

by **Jumbo** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 6:50 pm

Great game to listen to today, and just caught the highlights on BBTN. With the Tigers losing, it was a great day for baseball!

by **StewieG** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 8:19 pm

Break up the Royals! How about the friggin Royals beating up Schilling and the Red Sux.

If only the Devil Rays could have beaten the Yankees...then it would have been a perfect opening day for me.

Consig
Just responded to your other post, then read your post on here about the graphic. Glad I am not the only one. I thought Hafner was decapitated in the offseason.
I would imagine they are going to hear from a lot of people and change that.

by **Mr. MacPhisto** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 1:48 am

I don't see the Royals being in the race in the Central, but I do think they will be much better than last year. The finished the last month and a half near .500 and have brought in help via free agency. I expect them to still have a losing record, but I don't think they'll lose 100 this year. I think every team in the AL Central will win 70+ games this year. If the elderly White Sox rotation follows Contreras' lead at all today then the White Sox might have to deal with the threat of the Royals passing them by.

The AL Central really is loaded.

I found the win satisfactory

I dont like Darin Erstad hitting home runs of our ace though
