White Sox, Twins enter the Thunderdome (Jim's Game 1 Preview)
The White Sox, with an uninspiring offense and a bullpen in shambles, have staggered to a 9-10 record in the final month of the season -- and have still been able to pad their lead by two full games thanks to the Twins' 7-12 September mark.
Nobody can complain about the Sox facing Minnesota at the wrong time, as the trademarks of a Ron Gardenhire-managed team have vanished. The pitching staff not only sports a higher ERA in September than any other month (4.89), but also the highest home run and walk rates -- by far. Add in an excess of late-inning mental mistakes, and a team that supposedly never beats itself is doing just that.
On the other hand, the Sox find themselves in the wrong place. When the air conditioning is on, the Sox go cold -- they're 2-12 in domes this season, including a 1-5 mark in the Metrodome.

Sox hit homeruns.
Homeruns are immoral.
The Twins bunt and steal.
Bunting and stealing are moral.
Therefore, the Sox have already lost.
White Sox, that’s baseball.

And, if perchance, we are leading at a particular time, in a particular game,
will the US Treasury, with the estimable backing of the US Congress, deign to bail out the Twinkerbelles using taxpayer monies? Since they perhaps cannot complete their objective without outside Communistic intervention?
I would move with Alec Baldwin to Canada. Or Iceland.

With due apologies
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from [the DL].
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
[Ozzie the manager, Dye and Thome,
Buehrle and Jenks, Ramirez and Pierzynski-]
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

Matchup: Chicago (86-69) at Minnesota (84-72), 7:10 p.m. CT
Probable Starters: Javier Vazquez (212 2/3 IP, 3.77 RA, 1.19 WHIP, 170 K) vs. Scott Baker (179 1/3, 3.91, 1.22, 124)
Pythagorean Record: Chicago, 86-69 (772 RS, 684 RA); Minnesota, 85-71 (801 RS, 721 RA)
Hit List Rankings: Chicago, #7; Minnesota, #12
Prospectus: Two and a half games behind the White Sox, the Twins begin their final stand tonight at the Metrodome. Minnesota will need a sweep or a series win to make the final weekend interesting. If Chicago and Minnesota are within a half-game after the last scheduled game of the season on Sunday, the White Sox will have to make up their postponed game with Detroit at home on Monday, and depending on that outcome perhaps play an 163rd contest against Minnesota at home the next night to decide the division, because Chicago won the tie-breaker coin flip, and thus would get to host the potential one-game playoff. These two teams have played practically to a draw this year, with Chicago winning eight of 15 contests. The White Sox have endured an offensive downturn since Carlos Quentin was felled on September 1—they have a 724 OPS in 18 games without their MVP candidate, scoring 4.4 runs a game, compared with 791 and 5.1 beforehand—but the slide has been kept from being worse by an unlikely source: Dewayne Wise, the 30-year-old Quad-A journeyman outfielder with 361 major league plate appearances to his name entering 2008, has hit four homers and driven in 10 in 44 September PA.
This Twins-White Sox series is not only a final-week battle for first place, it is also a clash of baseball ideologies, which makes the rivalry between the two franchises even more compelling. The White Sox are a slow team that runs on power—they’re first in the majors in homers (223), last in the majors in triples (13), and second to last in the AL with just 63 steals. The Twins are a faster squad that preaches bat control and the ability to hit for average from the majors to the lowest levels on the farm, and it shows in the finished product—Minnesota is second in the AL with a .280 average, last in homers (108), first in triples (43, split 22-21 home and road, so they’re not turf-generated), and fifth with 95 steals. Minnesota has speed spread equally throughout its roster, at least as measured by triples, for 11 Twins have between three and five three-baggers. No team in the integration era has had more than 11 players with three or more triples, while three other squads since 1947 besides this year’s Twins have hit that number—the 1993 Rockies, and the 1983 Cardinals and Blue Jays. Chicago, meanwhile, doesn’t have a single player with as many as three triples.

Win tonight and the Twins are staring elimination in the face. Lose tonight and things just keep getting pushed back.

Blum came off the bench in the penultimate series of the ’05 season to have the worst at-bat of the season, grounding into a 1-2-3 DP with the bases loaded late against the Tigers. At that point he had been an even more useless acquisition than Griffey.

… and I was surprised at how non-stupid he sounded. I think maybe it’s the difference between having most of his remarks prepared in advanced for the studio show versus thinking “on the fly” during a game.
Also, since I don’t have cable, I get the bulk of my Sox on the radio. Stoney has been awesome this year… this might not be a popular opinion, but I like Stone/Farmer even better than I liked Rooney/Farmer.

So ever since Q! boy went down
I stopped watching HR leader board. Well I took a look at it yesterday and I see Q! still tied for the first. Amazing … last week of the season and AL leader has 36HR, if you told me that year ago I would have said you are crazy man! Talk about steroid ban being effective.

I got so much trouble on my mind
I refuse to lose
Heres your ticket
Hear the drummer get wicked
The crew to you to push the back to black
Attack so I sat and japped
Then slapped the mac(intosh)
Now Im ready to mike it
(you know I like it) huh
Hear my favoritism roll oh
Never be a brother like to go solo
Lazer, anastasia, maze ya
Ways to blaze your brain and train ya
The way Im livin, forgiven
What Im givin up
X on the flex hit me now
I dont know about later
As for now I know how to avoid the paranoid
Man Ive had it up to here
Gear I wear got em goin in fear
Rhetoric said
Read just a bit ago
Not quittin though
Signed the hard rhymer
Work to keep from gettin jerked
Changin some ways
To way back in the better days
Raw metaphysically bold
Never followed a code
Still dropped a load
Never question what I am God knows
Cause its comin from the heart
What I got better get some
(get on up) hustler of culture
Snakebitten
Been spit in the face
But the rhymes keep fittin
Respects been givin hows ya livin
Now I cant protect a pad off defect
Check the record
An reckon an intentional wreck
Played off as some intellect
Made the call, took the fall
Broke the laws
Not my fault theyre fallin off
Known as fair square
Throughout my years
So I growl at the livin foul
Black to the bone my home is your home
So welcome to the Metrodome
Subordinate terror
Kickin off an era
Cold deliverin pain
My 98 was 87 on a record yo
So now I go bronco
Crucifixion aint no fiction
So called chosen frozen
Apology made to who ever pleases
Still they got me like jesus
I rather sing, bring, think reminisce
bout a brother while Im in sync
Every brother aint a brother cause a color
Just as well could be undercover
Backstabbed, grabbed a flag
From the back of the lab
Told a rab get off the rag
Sad to say I got sold down the river
Still some quiver when I deliver
Never to say I never know or had a clue
Word was heard, plus hard on the boulevard
Lies, scandalizin, basin
Traits of hate whos celebratin wit satan?
I rope a dope the evil with righteous
Bobbin and weavin and let the good get even
Cmon down
And welcome to the Metrodome.
Caught in the race against time
The pit and the pendulum
Check the rhythm and rhymes
While Im bendin em
Snakes blowin up the lines of design
Tryin to blind the science Im snedin em
How to fight the power
Cannot run and hide
But it shouldnt be suicide
In a game a fool without the rules
Got a hell of a nerve to just criticize
Every brother aint a brother
Cause a black hand
Squeezed on malcom x the man
The shootin of huey newton
From a hand of a nigger who pulled the trigger
Its weak to speak and blame somebody else
When you destroy yourself
First nothings worse than a mothers pain
Of a son slain in bensonhurst
Cant wait for the state to decide the fate
So this jam I dedicate
Places with racist faces
Just an example of one of many cases
The greek weekend speech I speak
From a lesson learned in virginia (beach)
I dont smile in the line of fire
I go wildin
But its on bass and drums even violins
Watcha do gitcha head ready
Instead of gettin physically sweaty
When I get mad
I put it down on a pad
Give ya somethin that cha never had controllin
Fear of high rollin
God bless your soul and keep livin
Never allowed, kickin it loud
Droppin a bomb
Brain game intellectual vietnam
Move as a team
Never move alone
But
Welcome to the Metrodome
