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…
I don’t want my beer to taste like fruit or honey. I want pussy to taste that way.
i don't see anyone beating it.
that’s a donkey, by the way. it represents the white sox. at least it died with a smile on its face…
ah so.... so more of a "dead ass" than "beating a dead horse" comment
eh, it’s all equus.
I don’t want my beer to taste like fruit or honey. I want pussy to taste that way.
oh no, venturing in cetaceans.
I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?"

and that’s what you come up with? mr. vegas?
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!!
I thought that's the name that had to follow "but that's me".
Like peas and carrots.

Effing Seattle.

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.

Well the goods news (if any)
Seattle were knuckleheads and didnt trade players they should have.
The SSS motto should be the answer to "What is our deepest fear?". Or maybe just Prozac.
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.

Any chance we can
take Nick Punto out…I mean put a hit on him. I know some guys, but I need to raise some cash…
"Jenks, who was never afraid to say "no" to a hamburger..."
i think the Morneau hit would help a lot more
"as much as i hate dj i don't want him to get molested"- BuehrleMan
He's too boring
Punto can die Italian-style, blaze of glory. Morneau would be mute, arms folded.

I'll be in closest proximity to him for the next couple days...
and I hear WA is a great state to stash a body.
Let me know.

Oh hells no.
You already epically fialed on the first mission to monitor the clubhouse during Cooper’s pulled fat episode, what the hell makes you think we can trust you this time?
this isn't hard. you live in a port city. and you're a slut. do the math. -larry
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.
"fortunately, i'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber."
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.

did i mention the twins? did i? did i?
you’re the wine swiller, not me. i never gave up on the beer, especially because it’s better out here. i will refrain from making elaborate comment on your shakespearean pick up line.

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.
You POS.

You might not TELL him to get behind you, because you're a gentleman and would ASK him to do so
this isn't hard. you live in a port city. and you're a slut. do the math. -larry
and then call him a bitch
brndnprkns: I'm pretty sure the "badass" value of your life is closer to Gigli than The Dark Knight
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'm sure larry would be happy to oblige
/runs away quickly while covering his ears, waiting for the bomb to explode

he would probably take the game thread
and wrap it around my throat and strangle me with it, if I was serious of course, clearly

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.
how did you get tix for free?

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.
I CAN'T STAND IT.
Sox Machine
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.

i'd be interested (too)
give me a heads up down the road. priority to madvillian of course.
