I'm Back

"It's a good acquisition," manager Ozzie Guillen told reporters Tuesday afternoon after the Sox' game in Detroit against the Tigers was rained out.

...

Podsednik takes Owens' spot at Triple-A and is just a phone call away.

"(Podsednik) is going to play center field there just in case we need him here," Guillen said. "It's good news. I think a lot of his (old) teammates wanted it. We'll see what happens."

Ideally for the Sox, Brian Anderson takes over regular duty in center field and plays well, with Owens filling the reserve role.

"Brian Anderson's going to dictate how much he's going to play," Guillen said.

Anderson replaced the injured Wise on Monday and walked twice and stole two bases.

"I don't expect Brian to hit .350," Guillen said. "A lot of people forget we gave Brian an opportunity to play (in 2006). I think now Brian is mature and a better player. He's got an opportunity now, and we'll see how he handles it."

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

No makeup date was announced for Tuesday’s game, but the White Sox make two more trips to Detroit from July 24-26 and from Oct. 2-4 to conclude the regular season. They also have a mutual off-day on June 22, when the Tigers are in the middle of a homestand and the White Sox will be traveling from Cincinnati to start a homestand against the Dodgers and Cubs.

This could be OK if the White Sox really use Podsednik as depth for a Charlotte team that doesn’t have any prospect outfielders, but Pods has no business being on a major league roster, unless one thinks being able to help an offense score runs or a defense prevent runs is something to be valued.

Julia Allison is vapid fame-whore

who somehow landed (read: fucked her way to) a 6-figure job where she ostensibly provided sound bytes to crappy cable news shows under the title “editor.” She’s been without that cush gig for a more than a year now, starting her own company where she “life-streamed” with her fame-ball friends. The new company was a failed attempt to lure in a reality show deal (She may have something in production, but ain’t nobody gonna see it). Usually she targets web-types, your Kevin Rose’s and Mark Zuckerbergs, but it appears she’s making a new play in honor of her hometown team (I believe she’s an Algonquin native)

10 Burning Questions with Ozzie Guillen
6. What is the difference between Cubs fans and White Sox fans?

Wow! Whew. I think White Sox fans come to the game to watch the game and have a little more knowledge of the game. Cubs fans go there to party and drink and sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Then they don’t give a crap what happens the rest of the game. They just want to look up and see who is singing during the seventh-inning stretch. As soon as the song is over, they get up and leave.

So Sox fans are more knowledgable?

Yes, because when they sit there and watch a game, I think most Cubs fans just want to be on camera and take their shirts off and drink some beer.

7. Do you have a recurring anxiety dream in which you can’t do something or show up late or are naked in public?

I like to dream about Shakira, the Colombian singer, because that’s a dream that is never going to come true.

I don’t think Chavez would do anything to Ozzie, but that is something that Joe Venezuelan would not say

I think Ozzie’s parents back home have some pretty strong feelings about el maximo hugo, not particularly positive ones at that.

Cubs fans are delusional, look at some of the posts on that board

Talk about ego

Ozzie—I love the guy (despite my team allegiance), but when was the last time he sat in the stands at Sox park? If he did, he’d realize that his “fans” spend more time and energy rooting against the Cubs than paying attention to their own team (no matter who the Sox happen to be playing).

Listen buddy, I could give two shits about your team and traditions. You are not that important.

Totally forgot about that

I hate Cubs fans, but not to the point that I “actually care more about them then the Sox”

Anyways that is from a song “The Ballad of the South Side Irish” if you didn’t know

South Side Irish
Written by
Black, McEldowney & Walsh, copyright 1984

We’re the Windy City Irish-where the crack is always best
Where every day is Paddy’s Day and everyone’s a guest
If you’re Irish on the North Side or Irish on the West
Welcome to the South Side come join the Irish Fest!

Chorus:

We’re the South Side Irish as our fathers were before
We come from the Windy City and we’re Irish to the core
From Bridgeport to Beverly from Midway to South Shore
We’re the South Side Irish-Let’s sing it out once more!

Our parents came from Mayo, from Cork and Donegal.
We come from Sabina, St. Kilian’s and St. Gall
St. Leo, Visitation, Little Flower and the rest.
The South Side parishes are mighty-they’re the best!

Chorus

We live on the South Side-Mayor Daley lived here too
The Greatest Irish Leader that Chicago ever knew
and he was always proud of his South Side Irish roots!
So here’s to His Honor to his memory we’ll be true.

Chorus

We sing the songs our fathers sang when they were growing up
Rebel songs of Erin’s Isle in the South Side Irish Pubs
and when it comes to baseball-we have two favorite clubs
The Go-Go White Sox… and whoever plays the Cubs!

"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"

I didn't knew the US was a candidate for the 2018 and 2022 soccer World Cup
"As a child, I played soccer on a dirt road in Jakarta, and the game brought the children of my neighborhood together," the president wrote in a letter that was hand-delivered recently to Joseph S. Blatter, the president of soccer’s world governing body, known as FIFA. Obama was referring to the years from age 6 to 10 that he spent in Indonesia with his mother.

Seeing the US v Switzerland in Detroit

Soccer wasn’t as popular in the US at that point. I’d imagine that it would be much harder to get tickets this time around.

The Womans World Cup was here as well.
