So who comes out for the bottom half?
I took the "under".

No more than one batter?

Hey, the last time he faced the Sox
He hit a pinch-hit grand slam.

wasserman translates to 'waterman'
or waterboy, if you prefer.

if SF is able to get a guy on base from here on out
i predict the score will be tied soon thereafter.

Warsteiner
Although that is considered a Frauenbier I’m told.

Also an excellent choice
Really, I’m happy with almost any Bavarian lager.

You're drinking for 3 now, right?
I took the "under".
by winningugly on May 16, 2008 11:37 PM CDT up reply actions
No, not at all...
3 is my max. I have to stay sober in case I have to drive my wife to the hospital.
Right - I meant for you, your wife (who clearly should not drink)
and the kid.
I took the "under".
by winningugly on May 16, 2008 11:46 PM CDT up reply actions
I know, haha...
If my wife was drinking, my kid would come out even more retarded than me. That would not be a good idea.

i found that drinking heavily
made the whole pregnancy experience go a lot smoother.
she will likely be drugged up, so why shouldn’t you? it is a ‘team’ thing right?

Sam Adams White Ale
is nice, pretty much falls in-between Hoegaarden and Blue Moon. Though its a spring seasonal, so probably getting hard to find.
Had Newcastle Brown Ale tonight
I took the "under".

Tried a Hoegaarden tonight
And I was personally not a fan and I like belgian’s most of the time. Whatever, different stroke for different folks…
my favorite beer to this day is Oberon.
Dos Equis amber lately.
Couldn’t wait for the warm weather to start.

OC has had a lot of success the past three seasons swinging at the first pitch
He didn’t do it that often (~15-20% of his PAs) but OPSed well over .900. I’ve noticed that he’s taken a lot of really good first pitches (two this evening) this season and swung at some not so good ones. It’s of course a small sample and he’s batting leadoff now, but he’s only 3-23 on the first pitch to start this season and OPSing .260.
That was a first pitch he'd like to forget.

Good news from AA tonight....
Kyle McCulloch with his 3rd consecutive 6 inning scoreless stint…..just a hit and a BB tonight.
and 1 K
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Gotcha
When the game’s on WGN I can keep up with you fellers.
I took the "under".

Just what are you implying, WU?

Getting pitched around because he's the only hitter
anyone fears in our lineup.

by winningugly on May 16, 2008 11:35 PM CDT up reply actions
The dominating unknown pitcher that we have never faced before...
doesn’t seem to affect Quentin, only the rest of our lineup.
Swayze, yes? You crack me up.
I took the "under".

Interesting that they are running on Molina
Apparently not as good at throwing as I thought he was….
shoeless joe wanted to boot that ball
by explodingpinwheelsforfunandprofit on May 16, 2008 11:39 PM CDT reply actions
and called boras on his cell to determine whether
he should boot it a third time
by explodingpinwheelsforfunandprofit on May 16, 2008 11:42 PM CDT up reply actions
I'd pay $$$$ for a race between...
Molina, Thome and Konerko
Linebrink is earning is money like crazy...
I know he had a K there but how is he doing so well without striking out many guys like “Oh Do Tell”?
I'm surprised...
I haven’t paid attention to their record. Didn’t they start winning a few games for awhile there? Looks like they took a dump again.
ozzie looking up some broad's skirt in the stand, giggling
thome wondering to self “crazy mexicans”
by explodingpinwheelsforfunandprofit on May 16, 2008 11:46 PM CDT reply actions
yeah
except it was a dude’s skirt. this is san fran
by explodingpinwheelsforfunandprofit on May 16, 2008 11:47 PM CDT reply actions
At least we won't have to see Ozuna at 2B now...
Ozzie will probably just start Ramirez while Uribe is out.
He's earned the opportunity to fight another day
I took the "under".
by winningugly on May 16, 2008 11:54 PM CDT up reply actions
I'd actually start Alexei at SS tomorrow and Pablo at 2B....
OC is 2-26 lifetime against Zito (though most of that when Zito was good).
On the other hand
Most of that was when Orlando was good.

by Sox Machine on May 16, 2008 11:58 PM CDT up reply actions
Maybe he can have some success
against bad Zito. Getting a few hits off of someone that owned him, maybe he breaks out.
no base runners, bob
please
by explodingpinwheelsforfunandprofit on May 16, 2008 11:59 PM CDT reply actions
It's starting to come around
Same pitch he got Willits on yesterday.

I still don't like Hawk and DJ....
but I actually think they’ve called a good game tonight.
They had inspiration - Gooose in the booooth.
I took the "under".
by winningugly on May 17, 2008 12:03 AM CDT up reply actions
Ray-Ray can still hit...
Is his glove still awful?
I wouldn’t mind trading for his old ass if the Giants ate a lot of his $7.5 million dollar salary. Doesn’t seem like that much when Uribe is making $4.5 million.
By all rights the Sox should be allowed a second DH
Uribe fields at 2B and someone else hits….
by hitlesswonder on May 17, 2008 12:05 AM CDT up reply actions
Ramirez looks like he is about 15 years old...
Could he be the one Cuban player who is actually his listed age?
Stat of th night (for me): Sox are 7th in runs scored in the AL
Solidly middle of the pack, just a few runs away from 5th.
Shocking.
