White Sox pitcher Jose Contreras will start Friday night against Minnesota, followed by Bartolo Colon on Saturday.
“We just feel better that way,” manager Ozzie Guillen said Tuesday, adding that Gavin Floyd would have been the Opening Day starter had Tuesday’s game been postponed.
I am slightly nervous about that.
However, Twins bullpen (especially) looked like shite last night.

friday is r.a. dickey day I think!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
I think I heard that too. Oh boy!!!!!

Why is that other dude running backwards?
This clip makes absolutely no sense.
You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

i believe the ball must have ricocheted of teh RF
and really is moving towards the infield.
It is freaky-deky, because it looks like the ball is travelling forward as normal, but everyone else is in reverse/
I'm like a laser, six-string razor. I've got a mouth like an alligator
the whole thing is played backwards
what actually happened was that bradley dropped the ball and then cartwheeled

When was the last time a Sox opening day starter lasted 3 innings?
Can’t remember Not Johnny-Condition Guy lasting 2 full. Meche on the other hand has been pretty good in openers lately.

Just a couple quick ones I think you'll like
Sports bars:
1. Coppersmith’s (9th ave b/w 52nd and 53rd) – Best sports bar in the area…depending on night, good specials. They have the MLB package and will put the Sox on if you ask.
2. 123 Burger Shot Beer (10th Ave b/w 50th and 51st) – $1 burgers (white castle style), $2 shots (girly shots) and $3 beers (all beers even import taps). Plus, the chicks wear next to nothing…all in all a good spot.
Deli: Gourmet Deli (9th ave b/w 51st and 52nd) – right near these two bars…cheap and very good.
The bars are more pregame type spots, but I think you’ll like.
by Crede's Crew on Apr 7, 2009 12:35 PM CDT up reply actions
thanks. i'll make a note.
staying at the waldorf, so those spots are pretty close.

couple of billy goats near me. i only do that place for breakfast. and only if i'm really craving something greasy.
everything tastes the same there because they haven’t cleaned the grill since it’s inception.

I am on hubbard and state ...
going in my head over my choices in terms of bar with TV and decent food and not overpriced (like theory)… rock bottom? fado? (i hope they show the game)
i'm a regular at boss bar. not sure what time it opens, though i think it's open for lunch.
i’d go there. great tvs. good food. hot bartenders.
Cashing checks and having sex.
in fact, coming from hubbard and state, it's definitely the best option.

i'm a bit of a known commodity over there. that's my "not really going out but still drinking" bar.
kinda seeing one of the bartenders, too.

Paying her for drinks and wanking to the spare change she gives you does not equal "seeing".
Bartenders = strippers. She’s really not that into you.

MLB Radio help
So, I may be screwed. Does anyone have Verizon here? If so, do you know if we no longer get the MLB radio package? It’s no longer an available app. for me to buy.
Also, I’m in a large building which is not close enough to the city to use a regular radio, so I usually listen to the Score streaming on the computer, but that’s not an option during games.
I am considering purchasing the MLB radio online, but before I do, I’d like to know if anyone else has bought the “audio only” option? How’s the quality? I wouldn’t be able to get away with watching video at my work, so that’s not an option for me. Or if Verizon is still offering the radio option and it’s just my phone that is having issues that’d be great to know.
Thanks.
