FRIDAY 5/22/09 - photos and recap

PrintThe first biannual(?) SSS meet up was a blast.
the cip was wasted(he wore it well), LT(stands for Lithuanian, not Ladanian Tomlinson like I always suspected) stole the show(despite wu being an OPOS about his ethnicity), hsa is a babe(believe it), el diablo(his real name is fisters) invented a new hi five that will overtake the nation, colin is nice(but long haired and a ginger no less, so he clearly cant be trusted) u-god drank his first 4 beers ever(i think), TAEG lived up to the moniker with his stunning good looks, happy human kept us up to date on the Hawks at the post game tail gate, and the cheat not only showed up but he wore a tuxedo. talk about class. the monkey from pale hose 9 was even there, as were trooper, furbs, hazymania, the whole gang. t-dogg brought some street cred to the crew(hes black) and inherited a promotion to OPOS too, since no young person wears a Greg Norman style hat like that.
815 showed up and infected us all with his disease, but the bomb in larry's brief case never went off so that part was good. The only bad thing was the fact that the game was over just as we were all figuring out who each other was. Wrap it all up with some post game fireworks AND cans of Schlitz and Hamms(they still make both, do you believe that?) and it was a perfect day.
on the ground: El Diablo seated: HSA, e-gus, trooper, 815sox standing: happyhuman, furby, u-god, t-dogg, the cheat, winningugly, rangerjae, the cip, back row: the actual el guapo, larry(hard to see but hes back there), hazymania, colin, and LT sox fan at the post-game tailgate.

Alexei Ramirez, who scored both runs the night before in a White Sox, victory was moved into the second spot in the order for Saturday night’s game against Pittsburgh right hander Ross Ohlendorf.
Ramirez singled and scored the first run Friday, then homered in the eighth inning, only his second of the season. He will bat behind Scott Podsednik. Also, Jim Thome was back in the lineup after resting against left-hander Zach Duke the night before and Carlos Quentin was in left field for the first time in a week.
The lineup was made out by White Sox bench coach Joey Cora. Manager Ozzie Guillen left after Friday’s game for Venezuela to help attend to his ailing father in law. Guillen is expected back some time Sunday, although probably not for the start of the afternoon game.
The lineup:
Scott Podsednik, CF
Alexei Ramirez, SS
Jermaine Dye, RF
Jim Thome, DH
Paul Konerko, 1B
Carlos Quentin, LF
A. J. Pierzynski, C
JoshFields, 3B
Chris Getz, 2B
Clayton Richard, PO

But I know I'm gonna change that tune,

well if it makes you feel better

After seeing those pics,
I realize that I need to lose a lot of weight. I mean, I knew that already, but the pictures really bring it home. Yikes.
The get-together was great, though!

oh cool, you've got the pics!
very nice. Totally forgot that we took them.
Lupe, release the balloons!
hahahaha, funny
I think it was me, you, and Carl walking back after the post-game tailgate, right? You seemed like you were in decent shape, but then again… I might be way off on this.
Lupe, release the balloons!
as soon as I sat down in carl's ride, everything hit me.
i remember I forgot the address where I live (just moved there) and decided to be drop off in the general vicinity of my place. Forgot the words ‘turn here.’ ha. I have to send him a message apologizing.
was nervous meeting everyone so I drank. social lubricant!
But man, what a good time.
sign Walker to a multiyear extension.
oh dude, that's funny
when we were walking, I was thinking, I hope these guys don’t think I gonna drive, because I am way not into shape to sit behind the wheel. Threw the cooler into the trunk, sat behind the wheel, saw that it is not happening, got out, and just walked to friends place.
Next time if we do this, I can find you guys a place to crash. The only problem is that way instead resting we will find more booz to drink and party on until it gets light outside :)
Lupe, release the balloons!
I felt the same way
The ride home was VERY LONG that night!!!!

I had to dj at a bar the next night and taught the high five to the crowd there… by the end of the night it was like wildfire… i don’t know how it hit me but watching people do it makes me laugh…especially with the booze.

we’re bringing the baby to daddy-daughter day on June 6th(the Mrs.‘s b-day), with my father in law in town and coming along with us. They have a parade around the warning track before the game so hopefully I can get a few photo ops. I dont know if we’ll last the whole game, but it should be fun none the less.

Quentin was back in left field against the Pirates on Saturday, but he is still feeling the effects of plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
“Carlos is going to have to deal with it all year,” said Joey Cora, who is filling as Sox manager while Ozzie Guillen visits with his ailing father-in-law in Venezuela. “That’s the way it is. But he said it doesn’t bother him and he’s feeling better. Hopefully we get him going, swinging the bat a little bit more.”
Before exiting Saturday’s game against Pittsburgh after the sixth inning, Quentin was 0-for-3. That dropped his batting average to .222.
Playing with a sore left foot hasn’t helped Quentin’s offense, but he’s trying to make the best of it.
“The only worry is just dealing with kind of discomfort,” Quentin said. "It’s something that I’ve been told I’ll have to deal with, so I’m going to have to deal with it. That’s basically it.
“It’s gotten better. I’m looking forward to it getting better as we progress. That’s what they’ve told me. I’ll believe them, and that’ll be that.”

White Sox on pace to be shut out 32 times this year. woo!
usually just go with whatever the person who's asking comes up with
i hear a ton of different shit, most of which ends in “-ish”. strawberry blonde is the most popular.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
Is Richard's fastball legit?
Ever since he’s been with the Sox he’s been sitting at 91-92 with the ability to notch it up to 94. I know he only broke out last season but for whatever reason — my ignorance or otherwise — I thought he worked moreso in the high-80s.
In any case I hope he’s earned himself the right to keep that rotation spot if he keeps throwing well. Maybe I’m overrating him based on the past few starts but I think he’s got the stuff to be a decent enough back-of-the-rotation starter (perhaps even a league average type, if he can become a bit more consistent with his secondary stuff) — there are some stretches where he shows some real good command with that fastball.
He's a lefty that has a decent fastball and decent control
that goes a long way. If he can sustain this improved velocity (which I doubt) maybe he can turn into a solid 3rd of 4th starter. That said, I think his upside is as a 4th or 5th guy. Floor seems as a solid middle reliever.
I like Richard, he’s young, he’s cheap, and he stays healthy. Hopefully he can continue to improve.
I liked Richard last year
Its funny, going into to last night I told a buddy that I thought it was kind of weird that people were glossing over him and what he may be worth (particularly in the NL). I do think his fastball is legit (or hgh induced :-)). It certainly wasn’t scouted as slightly plus but his velocity is definitely up and the fast ball has averaged 91.4 which is higher than Danks. He does project to have decent control, something which got him to the majors but most of the criticism for him last year was not enough tools in the arsenal.
We’ll see. His FIP is last year was 4.07 but again folks were worried about the high LD%, etc…..This year that has all changed so far. His ground balls are up and his Ld% is down, way down. His confidence seems to be growing. Now its still only 33 IP but Richard has really done nothing but get better since getting here and a 3 or 4 potential might not be a pipe dream. Hell maybe the Sox teach him the cutter and then we really might really have something.
Side note. The ironic part is with the surrounding rumors about Peavy many folks asked, “who the hell is Clayton Richard?” Teams probably paid attention to that last start. I have a feeling more will begin to ask for him, especially if KW is looking for established pitching. That might be really sad because as pointed out he’s cheap and effective. Now others are realizing it.
"I'm just here to provide street cred"
Also
the only real negative has actually been his walks are up from last year (thus a slightly higher FIP). That really doesn’t worry me. He’s not getting many borderline calls right now and in that Cleveland start the strike zone was ridiculously jumping around.
"I'm just here to provide street cred"
He was amazing
in the Yankess games and stepping in for someone (I think Vazquez) against the Rays
"My heart has always been in Miami and so I'm truly excited to call myself a Dolphin once again."-Jason Taylor 05-13-09
he looks like he can legitimately have a 50/30/20 GB/FB/LD rates
which would be pretty useful if he can develop a secondary pitch or two.

This night was remarkable. Nice recap, gus. I plan to scribe my own today....which you all know is not going to be as, shall I say, 'to the point.'
Also, since you didn’t mention her, Mrs. e-gus was a sweetheart too. :)
If I knew this was going to be my first ever front page story...
I might have been a bit more eloquent, used proper sentence structure, etc. It even stayed on top over the game thread, turns out all I had to do was buy cheat a MGD.
I mostly just wanted to get the pictures up here.
In retrospect I should have had more on the brief case(conclusive proof Larry is in fact a lawyer) what you had in your bag and the profession they implied, the ever changing seating chart, stuff like that.
I found it really funny that about half of the people mentioned how they usually keep score but didnt on friday to shoot the shit, myself included.
Oh and cheat, LaRoche went to the Pirates in the Manny Ramirez trade. We couldnt remember the details but they sent Bay to Boston receiving Moss and Hansen from the BoSox, LaRoche and Bryan Morris from LA.

I think this technique of using the ninth inning of close ballgames as extended spring training for pitchers who’ve missed time due to injury might not be a great idea."

Dewayne Wise will begin a Minor League rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Monday in Columbus, as the center fielder continues to recover from a separated right shoulder suffered while making a spectacular diving catch in a victory over Detroit on April 13. Wise does not expect to play on Monday and said that he will serve as designated hitter before getting into an outfield role by Wednesday.
Wise expects to be gone from the White Sox during their weeklong road trip to Anaheim and Kansas City. The Knights also visit Toledo at the end of this upcoming week.

To tell you the truth you probably wouldn’t get it from a handshake.

Jermain Dye, who homered in Saturday’s victory over the Pirates, was out of the lineup for the finale Sunday at U. S. Cellular Field.
Brian Anderson moved from center field to right to take Dye’s place, with Scott Podsednik molving to center with Carlos Quentin back in his left field spot fopr a second straight day. Quentin will be removed from games during late innings to protect his feet, which made him miss a week.
The lineup:
Podsednik, CF
Ramirez, 2B
Thome, DH
Konerko, 1B
Pierzynski, C
Quentin, LF
Anderson, RF
Getz, 2B
Fields, 3B
Buehrle, P

what the hell
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
arm is way more important in right.
i mean, everyone knows that CF is not a premium defensive position.

if I told everyone on this site that Pods would be leading off and starting at CF for the 2009 white sox during the off season
what would you say?

Tdogg=Danny Glover, especially with that ridiculous hat
That Steve Nash is exactly the same as Kirk Hinrich, but worse.

lol
That’s the first time I have ever been called that. But hey I guess we all look alike. And please don’t hate on the shark.

We all had a hearty laugh at Miller's over you saying you'd be the black guy with the Greg Norman hat....too funny, man.

I'm pretty sure that's something he can count on.
Hopefully the timing works out a little better whenever it happens again. I haven’t tailgated in a while.

It's really funny talking about the game with my friends from home.
“So you went to a game with 20 strangers you met off the internet?”
“Yeah but, I’ve met Gus and his wife once before”
The early stages of the tailgate were a bit scary. I was set up to party and standing by myself for a half hour until Mr and Mrs Gus showed up, followed by furbs and MVP LT…(sidenote LT shoot me the name of that Lithuanian restaurant you were talking about) By the time Tdogg showed up, I had my buzz on. Tdogg – do you wear the shark hat all the time or was it a prop for the game… I’m loving it if you wear that all the time.
Gus thanks for the name tags – it would have been very confusing in the early stages without them
HSA thanks for the planning, and trouble that you went through.
and to everyone else thanks for the good times and the new story.
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.
I have had it for many years
Also have a black one. I don’t wear them much anymore except for some golf rounds and extremely sunny days that I’ll be out all day (picnic). Its actually really good at keeping me cool and protecting my head all the way around. In years past I have actually had people offer to buy it from me (I usually just look at them as nut jobs…)
I felt a little awkward upon arriving but that didn’t last long. It was nice to meet fellow Sox fans that understand Pods was not the real reason the team won the WS in 05! I do wish there was more time to have a few more conversations with folks (cheat dissed me.) I actually thought cip WAS cheat for about 2 innings.
I look forward to the next one and hopefully we will have even more internet pychos….
"I'm just here to provide street cred"
oh yeah, here it is
their website, the place is called “Healthy Food”. I suggest a combination plate if you want to try out different things until you decide which one is your favorite, but I go straight to meat dumplings: that stuff is just too good. The owner is keeping this place alive, but she is aging fast, and I am just dreading for the day when it closes. She is a nice lady, might chat you up if she is done reading her newspaper.
Man, I raise my “virtual beer” and cheer you online, good times on Friday buddy.
Lupe, release the balloons!
Definate cheers...
it’s always good to meet a fellow countryman, hard party er, and white sox fan.

Looks like an awesome time
Wish I could’ve made it out. I haven’t been to a game since the 05 World Series…here’s to next year
