One more pitch and Anderson would have been 2B anyway.

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

You're drinking for 3 now, right?

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.

If my wife was drinking, my kid would come out even more retarded than me. That would not be a good idea.

she will likely be drugged up, so why shouldn’t you? it is a ‘team’ thing right?

If you like Belgian Whites
Try Hoegaarden instead
by 3E8 on May 16, 2008 11:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by Trooper on May 16, 2008 11:42 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I tried it but I didn't like it much.
Another beer I really like is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

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.
by 3E8 on May 16, 2008 11:29 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

At least we won't have to see Ozuna at 2B now...
Ozzie will probably just start Ramirez while Uribe is out.

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.

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….

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.
