Afternoon Open Thread
10 pitches into his outing, just minutes after fist pitch, Gavin Floyd gave up a 2-run HR to put the White Sox behind. For the next 5 hours--I'm rounding here--the Sox never once had the lead... until Swisher's HR.

BP's major league and minor league stats including major league translations
here are BP’s major league and minor league stats, including MLE and "peak" MLE (what you can expect the player to do if aged toward his peak). It’s real sweet, so huge kudos to Clay for presenting the work, apparently updated daily.Tango
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

guys, as a public service i'm posting this link.
it’s si’s favre tracker. updated multiple times an hour with such hard-hitting, investigative reporting as this:
A Cessna Citation registered to a Wisconsin home building company left Green Bay’s Austin Straubel International Airport at 1:27 p.m. eastern time, bound for Hattiesburg, Miss., according to a flight tracking Web site. Is Favre on the plane? We don’t know, but, needless to say, there are no regularly scheduled flights between Green Bay and Hattiesburg.
While this certainly makes it seem as if there has been some movement in the Favre-Packers standoff, remember, the flight could be a coincidence.
Back in 2004, when the University of Florida was looking for a football coach, a plane left Gainesville bound for Salt Lake City, the home of then-Utah coach Urban Meyer. Intrepid reporter Jeff Darlington, now of the Miami Herald but then of the Orlando Sentinel, rushed to Gainesville’s tiny airport to confirm what he’d seen using flight-tracking software. Darlington banged on the locked door of the near-empty airport until an airport employee finally emerged. Darlington asked whether Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley had been on the plane bound for Salt Lake City.
No, the employee told the reporter. The star passenger on that plane was a liver in an ice chest, headed to Utah for a transplant.
But, if Favre is on that plane, he’s about to enter Illinois airspace.

That was a bit of luck too.

Holy shit I can't believe they won the game
Last update I saw was Q! batting with AJ on first, down by 2 in the bottom of the 14th. My hope was for Q! to tie it and JD to win it with back to back home runs. I’ll take these results though.
Needless to say, this made my day less gloomy (lay-offs at work are a bitch).
Sox win, sticking it to the Tiggers while the Twins lose, I can call a lot of people back now. ;)

2005 was the year I really discovered baseball online
Was out of college and unemployed and living at my parent’s house in Charlevoix MI. Had nothing to do except follow the Sox and read blogs.
In 2006 and 2007 I kinda pulled back a bit, didn’t post hardly at all here in 2007. Came back this spring training and haven’t stopped yet. My new job this season allows more blog reading and comnmenting, thank god.

Peder, you're the one that got me over to this site after I had been frequenting batgirl for a year or two
I’m fairly confident that was in late 2005, but I’m too lazy to go through my posts to see for sure.
Recent freak-out sessions aside, I remember August 2005 as butt-hole clenching, but there was much less lashing out at KW, with more harshness directed towards people pitching and hitting like shit and Ozzie’s handling of the staff / lineup. I also seem to recall a sense of “here we go again” combined with we’re all in this together as Sox fans, so I don’t remember it as being as bad as some of the recent flipping out. But that could just be time washing away bad memories or the extra rock of crack I smoked at lunch, who knows?
At any rate, a big thank you, Peder, for exposing me to the grand world of SSS. I know I’ll never be the same (for the better).

OT - for those who doubted Jr. being played up re: a PR move
I am getting sky box tickets for the game a week from today, and the vendor who is giving them to me sent this communique (I’m excerpting). Understand the intended audience assumes we are non-White Sox fans:
This game is going to be quite exciting, not only because the White Sox are first place in their division, but also Ken Griffey Jr. was recently traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Chicago White Sox. "Junior" is currently in 6th place for most career home runs with 608 and is dangerously close to passing Sammy Sosa and moving up to 5th place.
“Dangerously close”??? I hope an explosion doesn’t happen when Jr. passes Sammy.

Griffey isn't done with baseball yet, though.
“I don’t think I would rather do [anything] else at this point,” he said. “My oldest, Trey, wants me to stay out of the house until he goes to college. He’s a freshman in high school. So, he says four more years I have to play. He likes the ground rules when I’m not there.http://www.nwherald.com/baseball/story.php?id=1375“But I don’t know. [I want to play] until I can’t do it anymore. I don’t see that stopping anytime soon.”

random thought
I saw this article
Granderson still popular in home town of Chicagohttp://blog.mlive.com/cutoffman/2008/08/granderson_still_popular_in_ho.htmlDespite being one of the Detroit Tigers best young players, Curtis Granderson remains popular in his hometown of Chicago, home of the rival White Sox, and DetroitTigers.com reports he always attracts a crowd when the Tigers come to town.
and a thought came to mind:
would you trade jenks for granderson?

Spicy Pumpkin Soup Recipe
Print Options
Print (no photos)
Print (with photos)
Ingredients
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
3 (15 oz) cans 100 percent pumpkin or 6 cups of chopped roasted pumpkin*
5 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
2 cups of milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
Method
1 Melt butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add spices and stir for a minute more.
2 Add pumpkin and 5 cups of chicken broth; blend well. Bring to a boil and reduce heat, simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
3 Transfer soup, in batches, to a blender or food processor. Cover tightly and blend until smooth. Return soup to saucepan.
4 With the soup on low heat, add brown sugar and mix. Slowly add milk while stirring to incorporate. Add cream. Adjust seasonings to taste. If a little too spicy, add more cream to cool it down. You might want to add a teaspoon of salt.
Serve in individual bowls. Sprinkle the top of each with toasted pumpkin seeds.
Serves 8.

Traditional Haggis 1 sheep’s pluck (stomach bag)
2 lb.. dry oatmeal
1 lb. suet
1 lb. lamb’s liver
2 1/2 cups stock
1 large chopped onion
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, Jamaica pepper and salt
Boil liver and parboil the onion, then mince them together. Lightly brown the oatmeal. Mix all ingredients together. Fill the sheep’s pluck with the mixture pressing it down to remove all the air, and sew up securely. Prick the haggis in several places so that it does not burst. Place haggis in boiling water and boil slowly for 4-5 hours. Serves approximately 12.

And it’s $9227.20. Don’t short-change yourself.
My contribution, I believe fervently, is the .20. Others ought to weigh in as to whether you add, or subtract, value to the site, and how much. And feel free to coment on the other posters, too.
For example, larry is probably worth at least $5K hisself. But SSH is a -$10K.

Optioned LHP Clayton Richard to Charlotte (Triple-A). [8/4]
Recalled RHP Adam Russell from Charlotte. [8/5]
Just a standard bit of staff management, as Jose Contreras will return to the Sox rotation this weekend, and rather than leave a slot on the staff "dead" by populating it with his temp during Richard’s rest days, they add that extra arm they may never use. Richard didn’t get the benefit of any kind of adjustment period—beyond striking out a few Rangers his first time out, he took more pastings than Ralph Wiggum’s tongue. That may prove to be significant in the weeks to come, because Richard was the best-performing pitcher in the minors that the Sox had to fall back on should any of their starters go lame. His performance should make them motivated shoppers for a low-end waivers deal for some veteran back-end rotation type, to provide insurance against injury while giving the pen a long reliever in the meantime.

video clip from a lifetime sox fan now in new orleans
howdy…. i’ve been a sox fan since watching many games per year at comisky as a little boy.. in fact, i was AT the game in ‘83 when we clinched the division by beating seattle about a zillion games before the season was over… i think julio cruz scored for the win, but don’t quote me… in any case, i live in new orleans now, and need to go to satellite bars as often as possible to watch games…and so i read southsidesox.com often to keep abreast of tensions and releases…. i couldnt go last nite, but had a friend game-day-ing me updates constantly thru the extras..whoa!!! anyway—i am raising my 2 and a half-year old daughter as a south side sox fan…. and i am appending a clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu1j0bJuTFE
of her on you tube singing take me out to the ballgame from my home in new orleans replete with sox hat sorta circa 83 cap... check it out, go white sox, and let me know when you come visit our fair city in the bayou... cheers (ps--we go to new orleans zephyrs minor league games, but she always prefers go white sox....) andy, scatterjazz
