Saw that. good to see Owens get going too. Hopefully McDougal was "working on some stuff"

Nice to see Owens going 2 for 4 as well. I know it is just Cactus League but it is never too early to play winning baseball. I remember the 2000 Sox had a monster Cactus League record and were able to carry it over into April and May and they never stopped winning until September. If we are to compete in this division, a fast start is going to be necessary so it's good to see our boys winning some games even though they don't count.:cool:

Now that he's done it, the surprise value is lost.

I know Ozzie wants a more aggressive running team in 2008, but why was Thome running?

Whenever I see him slide, I reach for my own creaky back!!!!

I forget which year it was (2006?), but in the season opener, Paulie had a SB, meaning for a brief time, he held the ML lead in SB. :D:

Edit: It was '04.

Cowley reports that JT went into second standing up. Fear not.

He's so fast, he doesn't even need to slide!

[IlliniSox4Life]

I didn't see the game. Was it a legitimate steal or something weird like a hit and run with a wild pitch?

That's it, Thome's batting leadoff this season. :tongue:
