in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintMark 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?

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.

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 something about the weather

Nah, we eat hurricanes for breakfast down here. Ask the Key West residents.

Kidding aside
do you think domes depress attendance? I’ve never been to one, but they have always struck me on TV as dull and fake, and telecasts have this strange echoing muffled sound.
i still like it, but even Miller Park has this problem
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
My sister-in-law's family
who live in the west suburbs of Milw. took me to Miller for lunch a few years back. Brewers were not in town, but the park was open to visitors. I could detect that problem as well, even though there were many appealing features to the stadium.
Brewers do seem to draw well, especially for a small-market team.
Especially when the Cubs are in town
Wonder why that is…
"would've been a sweep if pablo was here" -Kenwo-
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.

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).

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?).

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.

All Bears so you can bitch about how they suck?
In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.
I did pick the only worthwhile Bears...
Their defense / S.T. since they also get Hester’s return points and TD’s.

I have come to expect the Bears to suck...
No OL, trash at QB, a rookie RB, and a great (but stupid) returner as their #1 WR. Marty Booker, Brandon Lloyd? You can’t even be angry. You just have to laugh.

Has anyone heard a logical explanation
of the Broadway demotion and Richard promotion?
Just when the Sox might put some daylight between them and the Twinkies, this pud is likely to give up 6 runs before Hawk wishes Yaz well.

It's all about the lefty/lefty matchups...
Ichiro Suzuki
Raul Ibanez
Jeff Clement
Bryan LaHair
Jeremy Reed
I’m sure that Kenny and Ozzie realize that the Sox can never get the top two guys out so they are going to throw another lefty at them.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

can never get dem guys out.
ibanez has fared very well against the current sox staff, but ichiro lifetime against current sox pitchers = .333 obp v. .377 overall career obp.

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’ve never heard the kitchen of a fried chicken restaurant called an office before, but I’ll take it.
BTW, I have to mop the floors at night before I leave work, so my mess, my business.

I was thisclose to working in Pittsfield
Got an informal job offer to be a reporter there, before a higher-up overruled the decision, which turned out to be a gigantic blessing in disguise.
They really don’t have much else to be proud of since GE crapped the bed. Wahconah’s kinda neat, and the Berkshires are beautiful. Pittsfield’s pretty much the area’s armpit, though.
Chip, chip, chip, chip.

Carlos on the rest of the season:
I’m prepared for anything right now. This is what I do. This is baseball. You prepare yourself for what you are going to experience. I don’t know how to say this and I want to say this in the right way. There are a lot of things in life more important than attention.
So, when I say I’m prepared for whatever happens in this game, I say that having experienced lows in this game like every player and you experience good things.
"’m not going to be frightened by anything, if that’s what you are saying. I’m going to be fine, how’s that?
On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood! What was will be! What is will be no more! Now is the season of evil!
He is Q! You are like the buzzing of flies to him!
Uribe is 4-REALZ!!1!!!
He has been commiserating with Ichiro, I think
“I don’t know how to say this, and I want to say it the right way.” Didn’t really go to the communication classes at Stanford, but did go to acting class, it appears. I bet “Gravitas” is his favorite word, just like Kiefer Sutherland.

seems pretty clear to me.
i’ve heard players express (or attempt to express) the same sentiment and get jumped on by the media for saying it the wrong way.
paging mr. poreda. paging mr. aaron poreda. your seat in the left field bullpen is ready.
especially when talking to Slezak (as he was)
don’t want to attribute your highs and lows to clubhouse blow-up dolls or anything.
In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.
Which is the point
If he is so “Q”, WTF does he care if it comes out properly? He’s a bright boy. Too much LA – speak for me. Get Chicago tough! Let loose an “F”-bomb, just like at the dish.

because players can refuse to talk to reporters, right.
that certainly doesn’t draw attention, does it. reporters love and respect that and there’d be nary a mention of it ever.

I get the need to be available
It’s the “I don’t know how to say it properly” that comes off a tinge disingenuous. You say non? So be it.
He could say “I prefer to let my performance speak for me”. Or “Aw, shucks, it warn’t nuthin.” Or “No comprende Englais”. But to come off as Rodin – it’s only baseball, fer Chrissakes.

This from the guy who has a henson puppet as his avatar. Nice. And no one suggested a stuttering Rain Man impersonation needed to be presented to the public. Something not necessarily so telegraphemaybe.
