2 innings earlier…
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
BA = valuable bench player
A triumph for Sox drafting and development!
As an aside, Brian nicknaming Q lego-head has greatly increased my son’s interest in the Sox (what with legos being the center of his world and all).
i just heard someone scream like a girl on the broadcast.
i guess SSH must be at the game.

Started marathon training - long runs are Sunday at 6 AM.
I did wake up to catch the 7th inning to the end. And was up at 4:30 this AM. So eat me, you POS!

4:30am?
then you’re excused!

Nope - ran.
So, a Sox sweep brings you out of limited hibernation, eh? Man, what a foxhole buddy you’d be. The bear would be chasing us and I’d have to smack you for continually trying to trip me.

Question.
What’s the origin of the BA loving the honeys joke. I’m still new here.
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
Interview BA gave in 06 I think?
Where he said “he was doing it for the honeys”
Coffee is for closers.
really? link or something? wiz prolly knows

truth is I don’t…

I don't have a link but I could swear he used the actual word in some interview

i read on WSI
someone saw him out somewhere hitting on fat girls
Hottest Sox fan: Hephaestus, god of fire!
I will, however, buy
that he’s an adherent of the mystery method. Disarm the fat friend to get to the real prize.
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
Always a wise choice when uncertain of the cock-blocking ability of the fat friend
Didn’t Chappelle do a short of that on his show?

Can we talk about Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey Hey?
Ok. I take this to be a game ending song. I think it is embarrassing to do this to wish off a pitcher when we haven’t put the game to rest or to something similar. Does anyone agree with me? Can we have a feed about fan behavior at the games?
Why?
Are you worried the opposing pitchers are crying themselves to sleep over it? On their beds of money?

no
I’m not woried about that. It just seems premature to me. I like the idea of Nah Nah being only a game ending song. That’s where it belongs. It’s a celebration. It’s not a song just to wish the opposing pitcher or other player off. Maybe I’m alone here. But to me, it feels like doing the wave at the sox game. just wrong.
you're alone because you clearly are not a sox fan.
don’t mess with tradition lest tradition mess with you.
don't reply to me if you have four numbers in a row in your name or the same letter beginning and ending your name. and quit hitting your ball into my backyard.
Please
this is ridiculous. Why would I be commenting here when I wasn’t a white sox fan. And true, to the comment below, it is fun to say to piss off the opposing team. I just personally like doing it at a point where I can’t get my comeuppance for the game.
Apparently I am alone on this. That’s fair. I just really think that if I’m going to shove the other team’s nose in it (by singing nah nah) I want to do it when it is really and truly over. Any other time kind of ruins it for me.
you aren't familiar with
what “clearly” means on this site. clearly = this post is meant in jest/sarcasm
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
I like it a lot, honestly.
It’s fun to do at the stadium. Makes the game more lively. And when it first started (‘77?)I think it really did piss off opposing teams.

Wait, yes I do. Parents swear around their kids constantly unless they are the sort of parents I’ve never met. And I have some WASPy parents. All you have to teach them is WHEN certain things should be said. Not that they should never be said.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
so
in public around 8 year old kids who aren’t yours is probably one of those WHENS it shouldn’t be said, no? especially when you’re in a place that has a sign at every entrance that says “no swearing”?

We aren’t shareholders in the team, whatever they dictate as proper behavior would be what to follow.
Ths is a silly debate. It boils down to what each person thinks is acceptable. Some kids cuss like sailors when they are like 6, so who cares about them. I was just speaking in generalities anyways.

In a similar vein, how bout them Viagra and Budweiser commercials!
I was watching at a restaurant that had a bar area and a 6 year old was watching the game while waiting for his Dad to get a table, and it made me question what kind of impression those commercials have on the youngins.
I’m beginning to think that’s kind of classless on the part of the networks / advertisers, in the same vein as marketing cigarettes to kids…I’m also thinking it’s not the best idea to leave your kid alone at a bar for 30 min.

Seinfeld and AD have altered it for good. the CBS bullshit still plays, but even they branched out with How I Met Your Mother (which, actually, I suppose you could argue maintains the formula, it just updates it substantially). i decided i like HIMYM. it’s nice and none of the characters grate on me in, say, the way everyone on Scrubs does.
so apparently i’m an armchair sociologist and sitcomoder as well.

Scrubs is funny to some degree
but many of the characters grated on me after a while. JD in particular pisses me off all the time and I don’t buy him at all as a focal point for a narrative. if it refrained from taking itself seriously and more thoroughly undermined its characters (like Seinfeld and AD do constantly) I’d probably like it a lot more.

I just hate Zach Braff
I thought Garden State was annoying and overrated, and it kinda ruined the show for me. Plus, I could figure out when Cox would have his rants and whatnot. But, it was the first sitcom after Seinfeld that had that kind of random ass humor. Once AD 30 Rock and Office came along, Scrubs just seemed weak in comparison.

it just doesn’t seem to fit together right. i can’t figure it out. it’s funny (and at times really really funny), but there’s something just…off. i can’t really finger it.

It's like Family Guy in live action form
A lot of random throwaway gags, the plot is mostly irrelevant. But, there are good relationships. The Fey-Baldwin scenes are always my favorite, and they have yet to shitty it up with romance between the two.
by Ozzie Montana on Jun 29, 2008 11:11 PM CDT up reply actions
that's actually a good comparison
though I like 30 Rock whereas I don’t like the newest FG episodes at all. i liked the new ones at first, but they all had that disconnected quality to them that the earlier ones didn’t. i get the same feeling from 30 Rock. then FG just got completely unfunny (see the Star Wars episode for proof). i doubt the same will happen to 30R, just because Tina Fey is consistently funny no matter what.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
I think it's easier for live action than animated
Because in cartoons you have way more freedom, which just lends itslef to more batshit stuff that isn’t necessarily funny. Like that new spinoff, they have talking bears as neighbors. Right off the bat I think that’s dumb as hell, so even if it’s really funny I might not like it as much.

i thought you meant sox
but i see what you mean now. and i think that team was substantially better, but i haven’t exactly looked it up.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
the white sox were the best team in baseball that year.
and were one of the better overall teams of this decade. but the indians were very, very close.
one thing i think people should do when evaluating teams (and players, for that matter) is include the postseason. i have yet to figure out – especially in this age of baseball when some guys are adding almost a full season’s worth of work (or more) to their numbers – why this isn’t done. or, if it is, it’s included in one of those “and take a look at his postseason numbers, too” in the second to last paragraphs.
we call it the "post-season" and treat it as such.
it’s often analyzed completely outside of the context of the teams’ season performance. that’s a long standing presumption, anyway. but that’s only 12 extra games right? ~7% of total games played.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
ask the twins what ~7% of total games will do to your record.
and, by extension, every other statistical category. i think it’s silly to treat it as an afterthought, as it so often is. regardless of what billy beane says, these are games played by a team and, in fact, are more important than the other games. i see no reason to solely analyze them separately when determining how good a team was or is.
Couldn't agree more
This whole idea that post-season games are just coin flips is a total cop out.
Optimist
well, i think when beane said it
he was making a subtler point: that this is baseball, where you’re doing pretty damn good if you’re winning 60% of your games, and it’s not really an odd occurrence over a short timeframe, especially over 3-5 games, for an inferior team to win more games than a superior one. but the quote has been abused and misused for a variety of purposes.
But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy a sweep at home
I’m so happy to see Buehrle back in his regular form, strong defense and luck once again on his side. And of course,
Yup.
Disregard the fact that OMG IT’S THE CUBS!!!! DEATH TO FLOPPY HATS!!!!

Rob Neyer is sticking with the Tigers. Heard him say so tonight.
Pitching, defense, health.
they're going to have to out hit us substantially, then
because our pitching staff offers significantly more good starts and our bullpen will be far better at maintaining leads from the sixth than theirs.
put another way, what would you rather have: pitching and defense and health…or hitting?
