Huge RBI for Konerko in the sixth. A hit like that can keep the first baseman from going all “Officer and a Gentleman” in the shower tonight.http://twitter.com/cst_sox/statuses/813949687
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Does he mean
screaming at Ozzie after numerous hitting drills “I goty nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to go! I got nuthin’.”?
I took the "under".
just put in a major fat bitch food order for delivery
getting into lockdown mode on my couch. really hoping for a good sox game because i’m not moving for at least 4 hours. gonna try and take care of this hangover with the ‘easy does it’ method. let’s go johnny danks.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
and if you think he's some hyperbolic level more of a hitter than ramirez
you’d probably want that guy batting 8th so alexei isn’t striking out at some hyperbolic level in front of the pitcher.
Not sure I follow
What is particularly bad about striking out in front of the pitcher as opposed to striking out in front of the 8th hitter?
Sad but true....
This games is OVAH!
Matt Cain is going to pitch a complete game shutout.
From the guy that was lamenting that we didn't score enough
last night. Have you no shame, stanchar?
;)
I took the "under".
there he is. the man of the hour.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.

i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
is this burriss the guy there was a little chatter about coming to the sox for crede preseason?
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
or who was the speedy position player (i thought outfielder) that was mentioned?
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
that's it, thanks. good call.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
cain may have cruised through the first 2 innings, but now we get to the masher part of our order.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Three hitters I am most confident right now....
1 Q
2 AJ
3 Alexei
You can't be serious.
Confident in Alexei?
Pitching and defense.
I don't know if I could ever get excited about Alexei
Althought I agree with you that this game is 100% OVER.
Another surprise
All you need is SSH’s assessment and you’ve got the Holy Trinity of pessimism, boys.
I took the "under".
you agree with who?
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
everybody?

Dr. Chris Cooper: I disagree.
Don Roritor: Well, would you agree with me that Paris is the capital of France?
Dr, Chris Cooper: Uh, yeah. I guess.
Don Roritor: Good. Then we’re back in agreement.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
no? no one? maybe this?
Cop #1: Hey, didya see that, uh, Nina Bedford show this morning?
Cop #2: Yeah, that uh… thing about toast-fucking.
Cop #1: ...toast-fucking?
Cop #2: Yeah – it’s the new thing where you fuck or get fucked with toast.
Cop #1: No, the… the show this morning was about that new drug.
Cop #2: Oh. Must have been a dream I had.

not even this one?
White Trash Man: Baby… get in the vehicle, baby!
White Trash Woman: I’m not getting in that vehicle!
White Trash Man: Baby, this is my gift to you!
White Trash Woman: What? Gift? That’s not a gift, you freakin’ stole this!
White Trash Man: I stole it to make it up to you, baby.
White Trash Woman: [sobbing] Well, tell me this, then – how could you sleep with my best friend, and not tell me about it?
White Trash Man: I told you about it, baby, but don’t shoot the messenger!
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
last one before i put this dog to sleep:
Scientist: I’ve invented a pill that gives worms to ex-girlfriends.
Don: Uh, right, and what’s positive about that?
Scientist: Well, it’s a pill that gives worms to ex-girlfriends.
Don: Couldn’t it also give worms to ex-boyfriends?
Scientist: This is a drug… for the world… to give worms to ex-girlfriends.
Don: Well, great. Thanks for stopping by.
Scientist: You just don’t get it here! Huhoooo!
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
alright you bastards. i give up.
the answer was Brain Candy. that’s Brain Candy.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
they could be a little over the top with the gay stuff from time to time
but when they were good they were hilarious. and i would say that brain candy was worth the watch.

KitH were amazing
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
sayonara baseball!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Danks is throwing too many pitches
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
As a small bonus... I Ramirez made me laugh.
Only Bengie Molina allows you stop mid-turn on a double play, collect yourself and still throw him out before he even appears on the screen.
no kidding. i did a double take when i didn't spot a runner.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
true dat
last night too.
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."

"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
WTF?
Im driving down the road, Hawk is on the radio with Farmer.
thats odd I think.
I get home, come inside, turn on the tv, Hawks on there with DJ.
2 Hawks?
shoot me now!
Floyd for President
In Gavin We Trust
LOL!

hawk is omnipresent. with more dadgummits than ever!

They solve him this inning!
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
Any idea what the Dow does tomorrow?
Pitching and defense.
oil is going up

no, but I'm buying a Lotto ticket

pete?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
I think Pete has met the same fate as Beeks in "Trading Places"
Taped into a gorilla suit, caged with an amorous male, headed to the Motherland, Kenya.
I took the "under".
man he just yanked his hands in and crushed that inside fastball. not even a bad pitch.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Hmm... shows how far that meme has gone...
I used it apparently without even know where it originated
light it up!
Q!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
yep, 50 HRs isn't good.
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
50?
at least 60!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Good lord...
Hawk is really having some problems seeing the ball. He’s getting to “way back” on everything hit to the warning track.
meant to Cat
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
Rotation order
Hawk keeps saying that Buehrle is pitching on Thursday…wouldn’t that mean they’re skipping/moving Floyd’s spot? Anyone know why that might be? Or is Hawk wrong? Because Floyd pitched the first game of this series, Buehrle went last night, Danks today, then you’d see Jose, Javy, then I’d expect Floyd’s turn.
Floyd
is still somewhat young.. they may just want to give him a break, I imagine Danks would be the next guy to skipped in the rotation next time they get a chance.

yeah, they said they're re-separating buerhle and danks.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Absolutely kicking effin' ass
and blowing the doors off my pre-season expectations – hell, my present expectations. Though, to be fair, the Gi-unts ain’t rakin’ these days.
I took the "under".
danks is getting pretty close to certifiably the real deal.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Good team's beat crap teams
and hold their own against better team’s. Sox doing that so far.
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
draft picks! draft picks! draft picks!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
big time insurance! ocab!
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
his 2 homers today cleared the fences by a combined 19 inches.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
that might be generous.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Pete?
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
oh fuck
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
real quick. this is some haggard relief work.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Don't worry, Ehren
I understand the flight from SF to Charlotte is non-stop on US Air
(While I’m frustrated, I’m not sure about the alternative.)
Go Sox!
No, but I kinda like the music
I’ve had it (I think we have a couple of bottles in the closet) and do not prefer it.
I took the "under".
I find it quite tasty
though I’m not much of a wine drinker
Pinot is good as well, I should add
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
OK, guys...
...if Darin Erstad can hit a pinch-hit, three-run homer off this guy, you should be able to manage one run.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.

this is an ugly rally going on right here
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
im gonna say ba with a double down the left field line
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
ha, nice. and true.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
ugliest 3 runs i can remember.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Two crappy, bumbling teams
playing a high-scoring game despite themselves.
you're a real breath of fresh air.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
terrible. but it might be time for the swish walk.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
swish clears the bases!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
and that's why you always leave a note.

Definitely want to pitch about Omar Vizquel
Only guy who can hit a three-run homer with the bases empty.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.

Around, not about.
Though I’d like to see somebody pitch about a hitter.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.

Leadoff walks are always good
This game is like watching people wrestle in those sumo suits. Lots of activity, nobody really doing anything productive.
Go Sox!
giants trying to out-ugly our last inning rally.

or octavio, i suppose.

Tomorrow's day off
Is going to do a lot of Sox a lot of good.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.
Sox Machine
How do you let the guy sit there and walk 3 straight guys?
Ozzie should know how over-used Dotel is at this point.
ugliest game of the year?
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's MAGIC!
You know!
Never believe it’s not so!
Never trust a big butt and a smile.

masset getting it done out there.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
he did step up there. credit where credit is due, right?
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
Jesus christ. That is fucking ugly...
Great job by Masset.
Hawk was bordering on self-implosion and so was I.
Threw wide to second on an attempted 5-4
Pulled Alexei off the bag, though he got to it. Bad call.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.
Sox Machine
The ball was a little off target to second...
Ramirez came off the bag to make the catch… but replay showed he clearly got his foot back to the bag before the runner… called safe
Masset's the only reliever who has it so far.
Believe it or not.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.
Sox Machine
Jenks is a bit overworked lately, isn't he?
Was wondering if Ozzie would just stick with Masset. We’ll see…
Hasn't Bobby gone for the past 4 games?
And Linebrink has been out there a lot too I think.

the last few innings are going pretty easy for me
turned off the audio in quicktime and am just playing yakkity sax on loop in itunes. seems pretty appropriate.
they want his powers, too.

No, he just gave into the dark side over the weekend.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
remember when we were getting no hit for 4+ innings?
yeah that was today.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
nice aggressiveness by cox
he knew any close play at the plate would be called in the sox favor, as compensation for the last inning

he did? sweeeeeet.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
q read the ump's mind
and then powered cox arm with magnetism.
so in truth, cox was powerless.

The Legend I know know simply would have teleported the ball into the catcher's mitt
"I'll bring the awesome." -The 'Swish'
Sexy Lexei -- new starting second baseman?
He has been looking a lot better at the plate lately… but that could just be due to the “Giants effect”.
He loves his fastball
It’s the Zitos that confuse him.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.
Sox Machine
He'll fit right in.
Hits 98MPH, no clue with a breaking pitch.
Pitching and defense.
was JD sucking for air halfway to third?
It is better to be thought of as a fool, rather than open your mouth to remove all doubt
Most negative I've ever heard you, Tdogg.
Pitching and defense.
Ozzie: Please leave Massett in (seriously)
Bobby’s been out there 4 days in a row. It’s a long season.
Go Sox!
No! i really wanted to see massett bat
It is better to be thought of as a fool, rather than open your mouth to remove all doubt
i just wanna see thome as the hitting coach and walker as the DH

Masset loves to ghostride his WHIP

After this game
Just one of 2 teams in the AL with winning road records… and this after the Toronto debacle
Three teams with road winning records
Angels: 12-9
Royals: 11-10
Sox: 14-13

Let me tell you
there is no one that comes in with very little warmup in the 8th inning after the bases are loaded from three straight walks to lead off the inning and get 5 outs like nick massett… no one
It is better to be thought of as a fool, rather than open your mouth to remove all doubt
Masset pitching, looks like Jose's back is OK.

Poor Alexei.
He played well enough to keep his spot for now.

Good thing
Are you OK with this? You were his primary backer on this site for awhile. (“Free Ehren Wasserman.”)
I took the "under".
Depression to follow, or is it bargaining?
Can’t wait for “depression”. Doesn’t exist in the larry household. Is “ennui” a stage of acceptance?
I took the "under".
Very, very tough 2 weeks.
6 vs. Indians – they have kicked our butts the last 2+ years
3 vs. Angels
4 vs. Rays.
Pitching and defense.
"Indians – we do well against our division."
16 – 24 vs. the Indians since we won the World Series.
Pitching and defense.
What is our overall record against the division since 05?
I am also glad Sox management didn’t feel the same way you guys did about Masset.

yes, he has pitched very well in a lot of high-leverage situations, hasn't he? oh, wait, he's pitched well in one.

Worst prediction of the year goes to stanchar:
“Matt Cain is going to pitch a complete game shutout.”
I took the "under".
Perspective, gentlemen:
Pythag be damned, we’re in the REAL first place.
By the way, just saw the Swisher “double” flare. I would not hang my hat on Swish breaking out of the slump yet.
I took the "under".
He's hit many, many balls recently
that were very hard hit but right at someone And he’s also struck out a lot). We could sure use some productivity from Thome, Konerko, Swisher.
If Konerlo’s thumb is still bothering him, I thought today would have been the day to sit him instead of Swisher. What do I know?
Pitching and defense.
SO WHAT DID I MISS GUYS
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Very impressive roadtrip / post debacle period for the Sox.
Pitching, pitching pitching. It keeps us in almost every game.
After the Toronto debacle and then Buehrle’s tirade, the wins started coming. If the middle of the order starts hitting (and we stay healthy), we will have a very enjoyable year.
Pitching and defense.
Not much of a bat flip by Q! after his homer.
Pitching and defense.
