"Let's assume that Kenny is still convinced that the White Sox can compete in 2008, which seems to be a good assumption. Apparently, Kenny thinks that Rowand would be a better acquisition than (Andruw) Jones to compete in 2008. My main point is that Kenny is a moron and this proves it."

lifted and slightly modified for King Q...

a long ass f’in time ago
in a town called Chicagooo
There lived a humble ballclub
Grindy through and through.
But yea there was a black sheep,
And he knew just what to do.
His name was young C.Q!
And he refused to step in line.
A vision he did see-eth
F’in rockin’ all the time.
He destroyed the f’in Indians
And all the planets did align.

Of course he can -

will he?

I took the "under".

awesome!

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

There we go!

Bobby really needs to work on getting saves without inducing collective heart attacks.

And the stanchar negative index continues its brilliant forecasting.

You are a man who should not change. Evah.

Would have been nice to see him only give up 2...

but 4 ER ain’t so bad.

thats a game

last year’s team would never have won.

Indeed...

This bullpen has been sick.

by SSH2005 on May 28, 2008 2:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I was thinking that, too

Would’ve blown it 3 ways from Sunday, or whatever the trite phrase is.

Didn’t have Q and Slash last year. Didn’t have the Liney. Didn’t have the squabbles to show someone actually cared.

Goin’ to Tampa solidly in 1st. I’m lookin’ forward to it.

I took the "under".

by winningugly on May 28, 2008 2:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Who the hell are you trying to attach "slash" too?

FWIW, I hate it and it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Unless it’s funny or inappropriate, then I love it.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

by rhythm on May 28, 2008 5:55 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Ramirez - for his position flexibility, but mostly

for the slash hit faking the bunt the other night. The most creative Sox play of the year, and it worked.

I took the "under".

by winningugly on May 28, 2008 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hmmm...tough call

I like that it came from that fake bunt play, but I don’t like the Kordell Stewart implications.

Overall, a nice effort there, you Central Florida Prick. ;)

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Huge series win....

I know I’ve mentioned it too many times…..but this is really big considering we have Shields and Kazmir (and a good TB team)....looming.

A split in TB would be great….

by stanchar on May 28, 2008 2:21 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

3 of 4 or a sweep would be a nice "statement"

Not great

A split is what should be expected. Getting 3 or even a sweep would be the coup.

Imported from Chicago, or is it sold in O-town.

Doubly Impressive!

In the event I should appear in Central Florida at some future time, will there be Old Style to be had in a certain parking lot of a certain stadium, or is this a temporary delight?
