It's Gotta Be The Greenies!

let’s hope we’re on a good one come playoff time

they just look so much more relaxed at home (and they should) but the momentum they had after that seven game win streak should have been carried with them to detroit…it just seems that most of the hitters just let all their hitting approaches go to waste and go up there hacking away at whatever is thrown…at home they work the count and get their pitch to hit and they hit it hard….also it might be just me but everytime the sox get a leadoff guy on and they’re trailing in a game, almost on cue the next hitter rolls over a inside pitch or tries to pull something on the outer half and hits a easy DP ground ball…the lineup must use the same approach everyday and work to become a more consistent hitting team on the road and stop wasting pitching performances (even though jose and javy’s last starts weren’t anything to write home about)

If I hears correctly on XM yesterday, the Braves have lost 21 consecutive road games by 1 run! Dating back to last August.

And your right all tied to hitting. The team seemed a bit impatient on the quick trip. Come home get better, but you have to win on the road eventually…..

this week. Commentators fawning over the Sawx. Jack Welch fawning over Tom Yawkey. I can’t stop throwing up.

Jorge De La Rosa was held out of Thursday’s game, and Hurdle announced that the left-hander will be the starter for Saturday’s game in Chicago.

Also, the Cubs may be interested in Podthetic…

The Cubs have created a working list of potential available left-handed bats, with Podsednik among several names being explored. Their interest will hinge largely on current center fielder Jim Edmonds’ performance. Podsednik was a catalyst on the White Sox team that won the 2005 World Series. The Cubs inquired about Podsednik as a free agent last winter.

“When I get an opportunity, it’s a matter of doing my job, getting on base,” said Podsednik, hitting .222 in 90 at-bats. “I can’t worry about what’s going to happen with other guys or decisions that are made off the field.”

This week I’ve noticed a disturbing (to me) trend:
Guys with haircuts that cover 1/2 their foreheads. Not like wind-blown bangs or anything, but the actual cut creating the hairline. The first one I saw, I thought “poor guy wearing a wig to cover a chemo hair loss”. But by the time I saw the 3rd or 4th of the week, I’m saying wtf? These guys appear to be in their 20’s, so I’m appealing to you: is this the new trendy thing? To only leave a couple of inches between hair and eyebrows? If so, is this celebrity inspired? I admit that most post-70s cultural references are beyond me…

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen will serve as a celebrity bartender as part of Binny’s new flagship store that will celebrate its grand opening at 11:30 a.m. Friday at 1132 S. Jefferson Street.

Guillen will sign autographs and pose for photos for $10 per fan until 1:30 p.m., with all proceeds benefitting University of Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital.
