Sox On Right Side Of One Run Game

Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Annointed Scott Podsednik My Savior
Bullet Point Recap
- As we know, Gavin Floyd has big hairy balls. His change is coming along nicely and he was usually able to get either of his slider or curve over. Tiger batters managed nothing but weak contact until he started fading in the 7th and 8th. Even then, he compensated by throwing strikes which kept the bases clear when the damage came.
- The offense continues to underwhelm. Jackson walked more than he struck out in his 5 innings, but only Thome was able to make him pay. 4 runs was enough in the end, but that doesn't cut it in June. Cheat's talked up the problems hitting with RISP and no major league team is going to continue to suck quite that much. Hopefully tonight was the start of some reversion to a better mean. Like one where a quality start results in a win on a regular basis.
- Bobby Jenks is clearly sinking his value in order to stay on the team he loves.
- Defying all odds, Josh Fields was the biggest beneficiary of the aversion to strikes that plagued Detroit's hard throwers. Zumaya and Jackson walked him three times even though all they had to do was throw fastballs for strikes. That's been a problem for the Tigers all season and one of a few I'm sure Kenny noticed. There's been a lot of wailing amongst the SSS faithful with some even clamoring for a sell off amongst the commenterati. I'd say this is a justifiable feeling. The offense has been tough to watch. But it's not a viable course of action at this point. It shouldn't be that hard to beat mediocre and KW has enough assets to wheel and deal.
- So it should be pretty fun to see what kind of direction Kenny takes the team. Which will be a relief after two months of blah baseball.

Semi related to your last two points...
even in a year as painful as this one, the Sox are currently fifth in the AL in runs allowed per game. I’d imagine that when taking park factors into account they’re fourth or third. Kenny, Ozzie and Coop certainly know how to put a pitching staff together. I’m liking where we’re positioned with the staff for the next few years. Seeing that the Sox have money to spend this winter and a decent arm or two out on the market (Bedard!), I think they’d do well to continue to give the ball to Richard every fifth day to see if he’s a legit left-handed Jon Garland (or better).
And I’m oh so happy that the big hairy balls are back.

Starting pitchers
Josh Beckett – $12MM club option with a $2MM buyout
Erik Bedard
Justin Duchscherer
Rich Harden
Tim Hudson – $12MM mutual option with a $1MM buyout
John Lackey
Cliff Lee – $8MM club option with a $1MM buyout
Brett Myers
Brandon Webb – $8.5MM club option with a $500K+ buyout
Todd Wellemeyer
I’d say Lackey, but he looks rough so far this year. Webb and Beckett will obv be picked up. Bedard looks good to me.

Right on, Pete.
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall.
As soon as he marries her
Then she starts to do
The things that will break his heart.
But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
You’ll be happy for the rest of your life,
An ugly woman cooks her meals on time,
She’ll always give you peace of mind.
If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.
Don’t let your friends say
You have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway,
Though her face is ugly,
Her eyes don’t match,
Take it from me she’s a better catch.
If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

So which one of the five is the best hitting starter on the team?
“I’ll tell you who’s not the best is Buehrle,” Danks said. “He’s got a few hits, but it looks brutal. I’m not saying I look natural at all, but this guy’s hunched over, stepping in the bucket and just trying to make contact.”
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Hopefully tonight was the start of some reversion to a better mean. Like one where a quality start results in a win on a regular basis.
after reading those two lines, the first though that came to me was the uribe slide of ’08.

speaking of drinking...
I am going down to Atlantic City this morning to compete in a 2 day Beer Pong Tournament with 1st prize being $25,000. I was granted a free entry (know the guy running it) and my buddy has a free hotel down there for us for the weekend, so I thought, why not?
Yes, I am a grown man and yes, I took off work for this.

He's really got nothing to lose when you think about it
He was out of baseball anyways, so if he gets caught all he loses is whatever shred of dignity he might have had. BUT, if he gets away with it, he might get another guaranteed contract in 2010. If I were him it’d be a no-brainer.

Rockin' the 33s, I see
To add some perspective, rims on tractor trailers are 33.5s. It makes me want to put semi rims on a Geo Metro, to tell you the truth.
Guys I used to live down the street from put 33s on an 85 Delta 88. The opted to forgo the lift kit and just cut out the wheel wells, for the record, I don’t have a preference when it comes to lift kits.
One of the oddest things I’ve seen in all my years was when I was riding my bike down the street and their 88 year old grandma saw the their car and said, among other things, “Oh hells no. N!$$@ please”. To that point, I had never heard anyone over the age of 30 use either of those phrases (movies excluded). I just about crashed my bicycle into the fucking car at that point.
Something else about that car I thought was great was one day those guys would left the stereo blasting all day, mind you the car was running, and then when they wanted to drive somewhere, the fucking thing was out of gas and they had to push it to the gas station. Maybe you had to be there, but it was classic!

DL for paulie?
Manager Ozzie Guillen said Josh Fields will be given the first chance to fill that void at first base, but if Konerko is shut down beyond this weekend, they might have to put him on the 15-day disabled list.
‘’I wish I could play him [tonight],’’ Guillen said. ‘’Meanwhile, I’m not going to have him get hurt and give me a bad at-bat just because we need him on the field. If he can’t go the right way, he can’t tolerate the pain the way he’s been doing it, then Fields will be playing first.’’

Waiting out the rain delay (in my car where the beer supply was stored)
was well worth it.
I was able to upgrade my seat significantly to only a few rows behind the Tigers dugout. My only disppointment was that Magglio didn’t play. I was hoping to heckle him up close and personal.
We were so close that the use of the word “shitty” from the gentlemen seated behind us (as is “Hay Laird, Detroit is where shitty catchers go to die!”) got them a stern warning from security.
