Sox Bludgeon Padres 15-4

PrintAll in all, today was one of the best games the Sox have played all spring. I'm not sure that counts for much though because it came against the Padres, who are quickly becoming the punchline of Major League Baseball. Even with that qualifier, this game gave us a lot of things that make us happy, especially pictures of great defense
Which this is not.
On offense, pretty much everything went right. The Sox scored at least one run in innings 2-7, with a 6 run fourth being the best. The team sent eleven batters to the plate before the away half of the frame mercifully came to an end. Lillibridge went 2-5 with a double. Pierzynski went 2-4 with a run and one driven in as well. Gavin Floyd recorded a hit and a walk, scoring both times. The best outings belonged to Paul Konerko, Josh Fields, and DeWayne Wise. A strangely beardless Konerko went 3-4 with a solo-homerun and three driven in. Fields went 3-3 with a double and a walk. And perhaps most importantly, DeWayne Wise continued to nail Jerry Owens' coffin shut. Wise went 2-6, with four RBI and a two-run shot in the fifth. Hell, even Brian Anderson did his part, taking Greg Burke yard in the sixth. Owens managed to go 1-5, with a strikeout and leaving four on base. Jerry, it wasn't all that nice knowing you.
The pitching was fairly solid as well, with only John Van Benschoten pretending to be Mike MacDougal, giving up two runs on three hits in one inning of work. MacDougal was actually effective, striking out two in a perfect fifth. Gavin Floyd pitched well in his four innings, allowing two hits, two runs, and one walk while striking out four. One of those was a homerun to his surname buddy, Cliff Floyd. Egbert, Link, and Russell also pitched, but none of the outings were good or bad enough to merit much writing.
Things are looking pretty good, as the Sox are sitting at .500 (8-8) with about four weeks to go until the games actually mean something.
And once again going completely off topic, but seeing as I'm an editor I can, one of my best friends from back home is going to be on "Good Morning America" tomorrow morning. His name is Brett Westcott and he's a Sophomore Civil Engineering student at Purdue. He is one of "The Compliment Guys", and after the Tribune and WGN picked up their story, ABC decided to fly him and his friend out to New York to be on the show tomorrow, giving out compliments in Times Square. It'll be on at 7, and thank you for tolerating me slipping away from baseball.

Completely off topic
But that’s a funny ass article on the compliment guys.
It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
Konerko...
looks like the type that has a 5 o’clock shadow immediately after shaving.

We don't have compliment guys at Missouri...
But we do have Brother Jed, the crazy religious guy who says gays/lesbians/fornicators/masturbators/hippies/people who like rock & roll/etc. are going to hell.

Yep, but only when it's warm out
I guess hell and all that noise isn’t important when it’s cold and icy.

we get him as well
about twice a year. fun guy
But Frank Thomas was always his own guy, he always lived by some sort of code that wasn’t especially clear to anyone but him.
He just plays off the people who try to argue with him
He’d go away if everybody ignored him, but he’s too damn entertaining sometimes.

And thanks again for supporting them guys
I appreciate it

Great Article
What good souls, that’s sincerely heartwearming. These guys are building up massive reserves of good karma, make sure you stay close to them!

oh no worries
been friends with Westy since 4th grade and have no intents on bailin on it anytime soon. we just got a canoe last month that we plan on using a few times a week this summer. weird thing is, he was supposed to go here but didn’t get accepted for engineering so he went to Purdue instead. none of this would have come to fruition if he had gotten in here. i already landed him two newspaper interviews back in plainfield and joliet for when he gets back from new york.

Kind of odd when you think about it
Two kids getting national publicity just because they’re being super nice – who knows, it’s such an unusual phenomenon that they might become as newsworthy as the Octomom.
Speaking of souls, heaven hell etc and to stray further OT – anyone read the 19th century Russian novel “Dead Souls” by Gogol? My favorite novel of all time, I’ve reread at least 4 times. Laugh out loud funny – the humor would appeal to a lot of the audience on SSS, especially the college crowd.

i will give it a look over spring break in two weeks
but yeah, when GMA contacted him yesterday he started freaking out. there were no plans for it to get this big.

New York on expense account, good times
Which hotel are they staying at?
Dead Souls is aood spring break book, I usually reread it when I’ve got an overseas flight or beach vacation. If you haven’t read a Russian novel before they can be a little intimidating at first because everyone’s got these intense names with the patronymics – helpful to read this explanation of Russian Patronymics beforehand. Once you get into the rhythm of the book the patronymics become part of the appeal.
Wilder Bilked Money from Sox to Fund Struggling Gay Bar
well i read crime and punishment
so the names shouldn’t be a problem. and i’m not sure what hotel it is, i just know its right across from ABC studios

Oh yeah
If you like Dostoyesky you’ll love this, Gogol predated him and was a strong influence.
Once you finish that put “The Master and Margarita” by Bulghakov on the list. Satan leaves Chichikov behind and visits 1920’s Soviet Moscow.

i like that there has been one post even remotely about baseball so far
saturday mornings on SSS, gotta love em

M and M is a great novel
Had to read it for a Russian Lit class a few years ago along with The Brothers Karamazov and Anna Karenina. Really great reading.

the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, mebbe?
love that place. I used to stay there when I was consulting in NYC. The only way I could afford it was by making a fake IBM id, and using their corporate rate.

I'm not of the current college crowd, but I'll gladly take your suggestion on this, Pete, thanks.

I guarantee you'll like it
There’s nothing subtle about Russian characters. Everyone is wildly passionate, emotions on full boil all the time. Men going into murderous rages over some woman they just have to have, and plenty of alcohol to lubricate it all.

But they say that they're motives are pure
and they’re hearts are chaste!

Good morning, y'all.
Just found out that Lillibridge’s dad goes to the same gym as me.
I was fully aware that little Brent was from here, but had no idea his dad was on the elliptical machine next to me.

he meant a conversation in which you ask someone questions and they answer.
not a 2 hour fuck and suck session.
Oh.
I usually don’t allow them to talk.

OT (do I really have to say that?)
Deaths of gamers leave their online lives in limbo
Be courteous before you die, and set up a service that will alert the SSS community of your passing. It will prevent a lot of needless “what-ever-happened-to-so-and-so” conversation.

I certainly would not want HSA's pimp to make an account just to tell us about her deportation to Ukraine
Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

Venezuela's up on the Netherlands 2-1 in the fifth
You know the Netherlands don’t have much offense when they can’t hit Carlos Silva.

ozzie on egbert
“We’re keeping a close eye on him because of the arm problems he’s had in the past,” manager Ozzie Guillen said. “But he continues to impress everyone. Every minute we have, we talk about him. We want to see what he can do. This kid’s problem is health. If he stays healthy … that’s the first time I’ve seen him in spring training throw the ball that well.”

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
