Mark Buehrle had one of those innings, allowing 3 runs following a (mental, if not physical) error, to get things started Monday night, but the White Sox offense quickly dug him out from the hole and eventually turned the game into another laugher. The offense was the story of the night, scoring 13 runs for the second straight game, and feat the Sox hadn't accomplished since May 10th and 11th of 1994, when they scored 16 and 14 in back-to-back games, coincidentally against the Mariners. The Sox are, not surprisingly, nearly unbeatable when they score 13 (6-0 in '08) and hit 4 HR in a game (8-1), an offensive strategy I think they should employ more often in the future.

Nick Swisher supplied the Sox first homer of the night, tying the game at 3 with 1-out in the second, but it was maybe the most unlikeliest of players hitting the biggest one of the night. Orlando Cabrera followed up a rare Juan Uribe walk with an even rarer HR to put the Sox ahead for good in what would become the deciding 5th inning. 9 straight Sox reached base safely in the inning, plating 6 runs and chasing Jarrod Washburn in the process.

I'm reluctant to even bring up the fact that Washburn was the second straight starter-- both left-handers--the Sox hung an 8-spot on, knowing full well that such a mention is bound to incite self-righteous comments from a variety of internet loudmouths. But seeing as this very self-righteous loudmouth wrote that Washburn "sucked" just hours after it became obvious that the Sox needed a replacement 5th starter, I'll allow a thread for gloating. (wink)

Toby Hall, who was last seen getting rejected in his attempted shaving cream pieing of Jermaine Dye, and subsequently holding his throwing shoulder, is reportedly fine, or at least that's the story he was telling CSN at 10:45 tonight.

The Sox picked up a game on the Twins, which they're scheduled to give back tomorrow, as they send Clayton Richard to the mound to oppose King Felix.

Uribe - Patience at the plate??

What’s up with that. Living in the Pacific NW I was able to watch the game on FOX Sports NW. I don’t get the opportunity to see a lot of White Sox game – Boy I was amazed a Uribe’s patience. Is this just a one game thing or a new pattern for Juan?

Guy's not thinking straight.

Adam Dunn kills the Cubs, and if they face the Dbacks in the first round of the playoffs, that’s worse than facing him with the Reds 6 times the rest of the year.

Why so serious?

Randy Johnson has faced the Cubs 14 times in his career...

He has 13 wins, 1 no decision, and 0 losses against them.

102.2 IP
1.84 ERA

I don't disagree that it is impressive. I mean...it is Randy freaking Johnson.

Just sayin’ I bet a whole bunch of NL pitchers over the years can boast pretty nice numbers against the good ol’ Cubbies.

I’d totally look that up, but I am ig’nant to the ways of baseball stat-searching.

by homesickalien on Aug 19, 2008 12:40 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

and johnson probably boasts similar numbers against quite a few teams.

like you say, it’s randy freaking johnson. looking at career stats against a team for a player with as long a career as johnson probably isn’t all that helpful. who is the longest serving cub, ramirez? mid 2003? his numbers v. current players is more important. and equally impressive.

True, but they are the no-brainer favorites in the NL as well

The D-Backs would be the fiesty underdogs, have a track record of giving them trouble, and plus Cubs+playoffs always has the possibility of epic failure (something about goats).

Cut your losses, Tdogg. All your fundamental analysis can be tossed out the window in this case.

And I believe the anomaly continues with the Twinks, for those who have been calling for their eventual demise. (Remember Neyer and his Sox analysis in ‘05? Sometimes the numbers don’t work.)

Notes from the game last night

The stadium was 100 fucking degrees, I knew it was going to be a slugfest

OC’s HR looked like a pop fly off the bat, and as it hit the outfield, and as it went near the wall. Strange.

Swish looked good last night, even with some bad calls.

The crowd was on OC bad after the fucked up DP and his quick out.

Attendance . . .

I watched the end of the Twins game last night; I couldn’t believe how empty the stadium was. They only drew 25,000; by contrast, 39,000 came to the Cell. The Rays game also had slim attendance, and they were playing the first-place Angels. I could sense the energy and excitement at the Cell in contrast to the two domes. I don’t really understand why so few attended those games, but maybe a few less will show up at the Terror Dome tonight and diminish the Twinkies’ home-field advantage.

maybe. there are probably people who don't go because it's not a great experience.

but it’s not like the twins were a great draw at the old metropolitan. the twins are rays are in pretty small markets, after all, and the rays have a history of sucking, not to mention a short history overall. so there are other factors. but the domes are probably one of them.

q for mvp

he’s continuing to vorp like a mofo, now ranked 5th in the vorp rankings (al only). although unlikely, but if he can get into the top 3 in vorp, you can make a stronger case for him to be mvp based on the major stats, team in playoff contention, and sabr stats.

Josh has been played out (his crest was the AS game, obviously)

whereas Q is helping his team battle for first place and is thus in the public (media) eye more often. If he keeps it up he’s got a very good shot. All things being equal, if the Rangers stay near .500 and the Sox go to the playoffs, Q wins. He’s a Roy Hobbs-like story without the gunshot (and weathered face).

take your pick of youkilis, arod, quentin, morneau, and mauer. quentin is the leader of that group but a whole lot can change.

I'd eliminate A-Rod (expectations always are unrealistic for him, plus the divorce circus)

and Morneau (prev. winner). Agree with Youk and especially Chairman Mauer, who is a pain in our asses. If BoSux stay in the fray Youk’s got the NE vote sewn up and will get the best press coverage.

I'd go with Mauer

His production relative to his position is fantastic…there’s no other AL catcher even close. Assuming the Twins make the playoffs I think he’ll get it.

Assuming NYY miss the playoffs, I don’t see ARod getting it. Someone from Boston does seem to have a strong chance given their media darlingness. But I wonder if Pedroia will siphon off some of Youk’s support….

by hitlesswonder on Aug 19, 2008 11:25 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Mauer will not win it

Even if the Twins make it, they would give to Justin first. Mauer won’t even finish in the top 5

Disagree re: the assessment of Morneau in '06, agree with the assessment of Morneau this year

Mauer was a near rookie in ’06 and now is gathering some appreciation for his continued excellence. You never know – I think Morneau won in ’06 in part because he was on SportsCenter every night with another GWRBI the last half of the season. If the Chairman does it this year, who knows? Not many thought Morneau had a shot in ’06 (and they are still ticked off about it – eh, Jer?).

How many catchers have won the MVP award?

Walker wasn't a bad pick by any means.

He did hit better on the road. But neutralize their stats, and they’re just about the same. Piazza a little ahead in OBP, Walker a little ahead in slugging.

Hard to believe Piazza could put up those numbers as a catcher and not be far and away the best choice, at any rate.

Which is why I asked about catchers and MVP awards

Besides Campy, Bench (maybe Berra?), and the aforementioned I-Rod I would believe catchers get the short shrift and are taken for granted in the MVP balloting. I haven’t squatted for 1-2 hours a night, backed up first, called the game, kept my pitcher’s head clear, and had to hit on top of it for 140 games a season, but I bet it’s hard.

first of all...

my reaction was to the part of your statement about how the sox can’t ever get ichiro and ibanez out and eventually your basis for that.

here are his obp by year against the sox
2001: .404
2002: .368
2003: .324
2004: .429
2005: .410
2006: .262
2007: .294
2008: .471

if you think ozzie is taking into account how he battered the likes of rocky biddle, james baldwin, david wells, danny wright, esteban loaiza, scott schoeneweis, and freddy garcia, i think your’e nuts. the only pitchers still on the sox roster from the days (before the few games they’ve played this season) when ichiro was reaching base a lot against the sox are buehrle (who coincidentally ichiro fares well against) and jenks.

I think it had to do with Thornton more than anythign

Richard and Broadway both figure to be overmatched at the bigs, but they weren’t sure how long Thornton would be unavailable for, so they called up Richard, who throws left-handed…

The only way to get Broadway back is through a DLing of a pitcher, and that’s not gonna happen.

OT - Your Congressional Tax Dollars At Work Debating The Genesis of America's Pastime

From today’s WSJ discussing the dearth of new laws Congress has passed this session:

Occasionally, resolutions stir debate that veers close to substance. In late June, House members gathered on the floor to debate a resolution establishing Pittsfield, Mass., once and for all, as home to the earliest known reference to the word “baseball.”

Democratic Rep. John Olver of Massachusetts, the bill’s author, rose to stake Pittsfield’s claim, based on the recent discovery of a 1791 Pittsfield law banning “Wicket, Cricket, Baseball, Football, Cat, Fives or any other game or games with balls” near the town’s new meetinghouse.

“Even back in 1791, youths were already breaking windows playing America’s favorite national pastime,” Rep. Olver said. “With that, the first mention of baseball was penned into history.”

Rep. Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina whose resolution recognizing America’s Christmas-tree industry remains mired in committee, said that “the origins of baseball [have] been the subject of debate and controversy.” Yet she agreed that the “Broken Window Bylaw” gave Pittsfield the honor.

Pittsfield, MA is the first place where they legislated “get off my lawn”. Just thought you’d like to know.

I made the mistake of watching one episode of their television show and it made me lose much of the remaining faith I had in human beings. How the hell are people really that stupid?

This is when I figured out that I wasn’t in the dumbest 1/3 of the population, as had previously been suggested. (If that isn’t a great set up, then you people suck worse than I ever dreamed possible)

Nice substitution. I'd like to use the same someday, but I tend to only use the G-word in blasphemic ways.

Anyway, I don’t know who those people are, never seen the show.
But I am certain that I do not like them, and when the earth’s resources run dry, I am going to find them and kill them all for thinking their genes need be multiplied like bunnies.

I mean, Christ, people, at least pick different outfits for your kids who will no doubt have identity issues from the start.

I "+1"ed your father, for my rec is +1 to his rec, resulting in 2 recs. for AEG

I also wanted to note that I agree with his incredible insight (and his great rip on WU).

So perhaps in the future you should stop being such a huge bitch and maybe take an elementary school math course or two so that when people give you three pretty bills, you don’t just assume that it’s the $30 for your port-slutty ass.

Well, shitface, maybe you should be a little quicker with your rec's, even when approaching the chore of TWO recs in a row (are your fingers ok?).

Because I waited a minute after your comment…and then refreshed the page and saw AEG’s greenie…meanwhile, there is nary a rec on my dad’s comment.

Perhaps you should rec first, comment later?
Just an idea to avoid future confusion.

Oh, and I’m not allowed in math classes because I am a girl.

But I do know how to get $30 from all sorts of combinations of bills, believe you me.

I sure hope you're pretty...

because, clearly, you don’t have much between the ears.

Let me walk you through this. Your dad, Chiburb, recommended a comment by AEG, denoted by “wreck” in his reply’s title bar, and added some witty text to his comment as well. I agreed with the recommending of said comment by AEG as well as his witty text, therefore I also recommended AEG’s comment and denoted by agreement with Chiburb by writing “+1”, as in “I agree”, in my comment’s title.

Did that get through you fat fucking skull?

Now give me my change for those two twenties! Sheesh, that’s the worst sex I’ve had in months (but also the longest – BA ZING!).

I will say that letting me blow my load all over your face afterwards was a classy maneuver on your part. I also liked hosing you down on your front lawn so you’d be “clean”. It’s too bad you fell in the mud and started flailing and rolling around like a little piggie. But hey, it was well worth the extra $1 for me.

Speaking of "vintage", AEG, you POS,

I had to laugh, as the “diversity” group here at the Mouseland for the over-50 groups is called, you guessed it, “Vintage”. One of my clients is the chairperson of the group. We laughed uproariously when he told me.

Well, I’m now going to go home through the tornado warnings that are popping up every 5 minutes so’s I can ingest some “vintage”. Perhaps we’ll be less civil tonight just so you can have something to write about.
