Guillen out with back spasms
Kansas City Royals cleanup hitter Joe Guillen was out of the lineup Friday night against the Chicago White Sox because of back spasms.http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2008-07-18-3548036033_x.htmManager Trey Hillman said Guillen took batting practice in a cage three straight days during the All-Star break, but he began to have back spasms Thursday night. ...
I assume they mean ‘Jose’
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
maybe it's forget they're latinos.
fuck you, that's my name!! you know why, mister? 'cause you drove a hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar bmw. that's my name!!

hi. You probably don't remember me.
that’s ok cuz I don’t remember you either.
That was a much welcomed break from the season and SSS, wasn’t it? We welcome, that you couldn’t have paid me to watch the ASG.
Anyway, here we are again for a 66 game sprint. I probably would have set the rotation as Danks, Floyd, MB, Javy, and Jose but they only pay SSH for such things.
Enjoy!
When she farts, a little rainbow comes out...
68,
less the Baltimore continuation game = 67.
Oh for the days when we had 6327 consecutive quality starts.

Typical OPOS – breeze out, and breeze in when you effin’ feel like it, then clog the passing lanes.

Larry -- genious or jinx?
I laughed my ass off when Ramirez’s error gave the Royals their first run. Larry was just talking about Ramirez’s crappy defense on routine plays earlier today.
And that inning literally made me hard, haha.
the sox may have scored 6 runs in the first inning, but they are still on pace to leave 36 runners on.
great example of why that stat doesn’t mean shit in and of itself.

If Thome stays hot and Konerko starts hitting...
the Sox have almost a Yankee-esque lineup.
Quentin
Dye
Thome
Konerko
Swisher
That is a pretty nasty 3-4-5-6-7.
their bullpen is exhausted.

Greinke had about a

Proof that you can almost live forever in the MLB if you throw with your left arm...
Rockies designated LHP Mark Redman for assignment.
The word was that Redman was going to the bullpen to make room for Kip Wells. This abrupt change suggests he wasn’t happy about the assignment. Not that he had much room for complaint. Redman was 2-5 with a 7.54 ERA this season.
Dude should have been out of baseball five years ago.
then he would have missed the all-star game. :-(

Wowzers, Phillies trying to stack up for the Mets...
FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal says the Phillies were talking to the Rockies about a deal for both Matt Holliday and Brian Fuentes, but conversations reached a standstill.
Rosenthal believes a deal would have included Shane Victorino, top pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco, catcher Lou Marson and others. Those players are all still around following the Joe Blanton deal, but it’s considered unlikely that talks will revive.Source: FOXSports.com

For the second time in two days, John McCain has referred to current events in "Czechoslovakia" – a country that officially ceased to exist in January of 1993.http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/16/mccain-again-cites-current-events-in-czechoslovakia/"And I regret some of the recent behavior Russia that has exhibited, and I’ll be glad to talk about that later on including reduction in oil supplies to Czechoslovakia after they agreed with us on a missile defense system, etcetera," said the presumptive Republican nominee at a New Mexico town hall Tuesday.
More than fifteen years ago, Czechoslovakia officially split into two nations – the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
On Monday, the Arizona senator made virtually the same statement about recent Russian moves that troubled him, citing that country’s attempt to reduce "the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia."
Later that evening, McCain’s campaign sent reporters a statement on the issue, which quoted the Arizona senator calling the nation "the Czech Republic" twice.

Agreed.

Stranding a leadoff double is sooo first-half White Sox...
I prefer this second-half White Sox offense that gets 7 hits in one inning.
I really think this would have been one of those complete games by Buehrle...
had it not been for those two errors by Ramirez and Crede that upped his pitch count.
Buehrle owns the Royals.
