what the hell is up with casey blake?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Stone explaining "he's a shortstop."
Pitching and defense.
JO's a center fielder
And he would’ve had it easily.

Good call. I really do want your thought on the Dow tomorrow.
Pitching and defense.
you're kind of a miracle
a short lived one, but for the time being I’m willing to believe. until a cheesburger that looks like John Calvin shows up on my plate anyway.

struck him out!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
If I had been watching live, Grady would have put that over the fence.
Count still getting ground balls so far right?

Alexei likes the gas upstairs?
I am completely surprised.

an actual loss
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
especially with the Swingaholics at the plate
for the record, they would play rockabilly/ska and AJ would be the frontman and wear jorts to every show.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
I'd be shocked if Kenny doesn't at least
inquire about Tadahito.
Nah, still a possibility
Padres could ask us about it, he only said KW would inquire.

Who is this Ben Francisco...
is he an actual prospect for Cleveland or what? Why haven’t I ever heard of him?
//checks bb-reference
Okay… 26-year old, a minor league OPS just over .800. So a AAAA-type player, I take it?
3-0 swing on that?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Confident Count.
God, it’s nice to have him back.

That was some excellent 80's gay porn
Nice one MM. Next time throw us heteros a bone.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
q! hit a bomb, bulls won the lottery and if the sox win this is a really good tuesday night.

Were you short everything except commodities today?
THAT would’ve been a good day (and, it was for me and my folks).
I took the "under".
really skated out of there a lucky man today, market puke really saved my ass. got a little overagressive.

i hate the irony that i swing for the fences at work and bitch about sox players doing it at home.

I saw your comments at Blog-a-Bull...
but that place was too flooded with morons to stick around. I used to post there a lot but got really sick of those people.

that site is a shouting match where nobody reads anyone else's comments half the time.

i'm not getting that one, yet. and since wu got it, this is not good.

Right there with you. We are screwed.
I think it means elite, but I’m beginning to realize I’ve lost touch with the 12-19 year old demographic. Nuts.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
elite makes sense. nicely done.
i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.
When I used to follow that blog...
the people were CONSTANTLY talking about their brilliant trade ideas. It was like there was never a game being played.

ha, nice. and true.
and the least grounded-in-reality posters just think any team will trade their all-stars for the bulls scrubs. it’s like when cubs fans speculate on trades that are flawed on every level.

It's the NBA
The offseason is often times more fun than the actual games being played.

For most Blog-A-Bullers, I've learned.
I happen to completely disagree. That’s why I got tired of reading 100 different Pao Gasol trade ideas during gamethreads.

During the gamethreads, no
But it’s impossible to keep the idiots at bay. In offseason, let them hack away at Carmelo Anthony for Kirk Hinrich trades. Besides, I’m just glad we got the #1 pick, some of those cats can be a tad sarcastic and douchebaggy.

It's not like it's a big secret that the site is often hard to read
Because people over there are just assholes just for the sake of it. But, enough of this. All I want is a Sox victory so I can parade around my house in full Sox/Bulls gear.

windy city gridiron is awful. most people over there write like 5th graders.
and wcg, the site overlord, writes his opinions as fact and rumor as truth. it’s like talking with drunk guys who were tailgating at 8 am after a bears game.

At least the baseball one is the best, as it’s probably the sport I care about most.

Obstinant, obfuscating, obscure, Ob-Gyn are all OK
Obtuse – well, go to another site.
I took the "under".
CC is getting a little plucky with all those fastballs to Q!
it worked. this time.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Q is just setting him up
For the rest of the season so he can see those pitches again.. and hit them to the fundamentals deck.

no doubt
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
That turd of a song actually kinda grew on me
Not to say I wouldn’t prefer the return of some Dos Equis spots
Taking out Thornton.
He wasn’t throwing anything hittable like he was Sunday.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.
Sox Machine
He's been fun to watch, even.
He was out there smiling tonight, dropping forkballs that made the hitters look like amatuers.

And according to gameday, none of those strikes were either.
Somebody should have told Blake that OD was on a roll.
Well those were nast pitches.
Better to make ‘em swing at junk, eh?

Anyone have a clue what that issue was when Dotel was pointing at people in the upper deck? It doesn’t seem like anyone threw anything onto the field.

Pitching and defense.
Talk about "What have you done for me lately"...
4 games removed from hitting the winning homerun and we are knocking his power?
I wish we could get to their bullpen already.
Gah. AJ better pick this run up.

Hawk w/ Farmer on Sunday.
“Sam McDowell threw 237 pitches on a day when it was 110 degrees. Pitchers don’t need pitch counts”
Pitching and defense.
Neglected to mention Sudden Sam was a blazing alcoholic
after he was used up by baseball. Moderation is the key.

Nah.. it's not broken...
I now realize that I didn’t do it right…
AJ didn’t strike out, therefore it worked.
Stanchar just needs to be more specifc… He should have said there was no way AJ was driving in those runs

Just means it's not huge
not that it didn’t happen. Probably not huge because they are going to have so many wins, one extra one wasn’t going to be necessary.

This game has an '05 feel.
Get a slim lead early, then shut down the offense. Somehow the pitching holds on by the skin of its teeth.
Note: I will be comparing games to ‘05 for the rest of my life.

The making of a great compilation tape...
... like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don’t wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules. Anyway… I’ve started to make a tape… in my head… for Q. Full of stuff he likes. Full of stuff that makes him happy. For the first time I can sort of see how that is done.

Did you ever Doubt race would be a factor?
I’m not surprised, but WV, Kentucky, and some other of those hick states weren’t going to vote for a democrat regardles! Let those backward folks continue to hate black people, love God and their guns, in the end, we’re not going to let those bastards continue to ruin this country by voting based on idiotic and unimportant issues.
