ESPN: McAdam: Sizing up the division races
AL Central: The White Sox play 16 of their next 19 games at home, but they'd better take advantage while they can, because the schedule maker has them playing 10 of their final 13 away from Chicago.
If the Twins can survive through the first week of September, they should be in good position. But first comes the hard part: 20 of their next 29 are away from the Metrodome, including, in a genuine quirk of the schedule, two visits to Seattle in the span of 22 days.

pray tell
what is the exact amount of times something can be discussed before the “dead horse” pictures come out to play?
on a related subject, is it possible to quantify exactly when it’s ok to scoreboard watch or get pissed about the team’s play without eliciting responses that generally are all caps and 18K letters per word?
we really ought to write this shit down…

and get some delicious clam chowder.
Perfect for post-division-winning games and pre-port-slut-effing.

I almost thought the set-up was too obvious...
too obvious for the likes of you, Lar-Bear.
Clam chowder makes the chowder taste better. I’m really just looking out for my own best interest here.

Seattle were knuckleheads and didnt trade players they should have.

That is a shite state of affairs to be in...
and no amount of fresh air could change that.
Never has quoting “Trainspotting” been so applicable.

Let me know.

Good point.
I was on vacation at the time, however, and I try to make it a point to not reconnaissance whilst on holiday.
You never know M-F, though. I get awfully heated during my work days and then drive down Edgar Martinez every day right after work.
(Today, for example, at 2:45 PM PST, I could be found with my head out of my car window, yelling “Fuck the Twins!” as I drove alongside Safeco).
If I see Poontang crossing the road, I might be so inclined to accelerate. We’re talking about the division here, people.

fun with scheduling
white sox, returning from kansas city (~ 80 minute flight) get this monday off.
on august 14th, they fly from chicago to oakland on a thursday, then back to chicago on sunday (~250 minute flight) after playing 13 days in a row (as opposed to 10 before today’s day off) and three more to go before an off thursday. day off monday? no way.
thanks, bud.

Ah, the Twinks have Seattle
twice in 22 days out West.
How turgid are you reading “out West”?
Your Chicago genes have been bathed in too much Chardonnay, you POS. Grab an Old Style and get thee next to me, Toonder. Remember your roots.

I'm just saying the schedule ain't kind to many, not just us.
And I would NEVER tell you to get behind me. Unless we were driving in separate cars.

will someone start a thread for the minnesota game later tonight?
because this sox fan cares about the twins. clearly.
He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

I tried to get Yankees/Sox tickets for their Sep. Series today
Wow. Cheap seats, talking upper deck back along the shitty left field overhang, row “N” and up, are going for no less than $60/seat. Bleacher seats are going for $50 on stubhub. Best tickets I found at a reasonable price were behind him plate, first row uppper deck: $190 for the pair.
I should have gotten my tickets a long time ago, I was planning on going to this series since the schedules came out, now I”m prolly priced out.

But seriously, I wouldn’t be going if my connection didn’t work. Everybody’s doing their “it’s my last chance EVAR to go to Yankee Stadium!” thing.

Yo brother
I’ve got tickets to all 4 (bleachers M,T,W and upper deck thurs).
On thurs, I have friends coming from Chicago, but I may be able to help you out (at face) for one of the other nights.
I’ll let you know when it gets closer.
