White Sox Execute Cubs in Series Opener

in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintStoney and Hawk heaped gobs of praise in Ozzie Guillen's direction for his brilliant management Wednesday -- I can't deny that he made all the right moves -- but I have to give far more credit to the White Sox execution of that game plan as a reason for the victory. With the exception of a couple of plays at 3B by Gordon Beckham and a failed sac-fly opportunity also by Beckham (more on him later tonight), the Sox scratched across runs where they've usually left 'em stranded this year.
While the Cubs and Sox are both clearly struggling offensively this season, the Sox at least looked like they had a solid approach at the plate today, taking 7 free passes in addition to the proper execution of a few bunts and a hit-and-run.
The story of the game even moreso than the offense had to be John Danks, who might have been given the hook a bit early, might have been able to escape without allowing a run if he had the support of his relief crew, and most importantly, might be rounding back into the guy who I picked to finish in the top 5 of the AL Cy Young voting. He took a tough loss last time out, but threw well and backed that performance up with a 9K, ZERO walk outing today.

Let us be happy
that we do not have to deal with future payroll obligations that the Cubs have. They are royally fucked.
I am just happy that we won
it gets annoying going to the bar and seeing cubs fans gloating and telling you to leave sox because cubs are “better”, whatever that means. At least now I can expect their mouths shut for at least another day.
Lupe, release the balloons!
My ultra intense cubs fan uncle
told me that the cubs are bad today… that is a bad sign for that team because the dude has a “Its Gonna Happen” sign in his yard
Wave that flag.... Wave it wide and high.. Summertime... Done come and gone, My oh my
I would not be sure of that
they are still making a lot of money, so without the the shackles of the Trib, I still think they are fine even with some of the bad contracts . . .
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
i missed the HR by ramirez
just watched the reply, damn was that ball high and outside, and he just sent it out of there… sweet shot
Lupe, release the balloons!
Wish I coulda watched this one
In Chicago, no one would blink an eyelash at work if the TV at your desk were tuned into the sox-cubs game, but in a different city, somehow watching mlb.tv in the middle of the day wouldn’t feel acceptable.
Is it still the fourth inning?
Is there a picture out on the internets of Danks tipping his cap to the Wrigley crowd, big grin and all?
‘cause that was fuckin’ awesome.
Did you see him laughing w/ Ozzie beforehand?
I think Ozzie was telling him to tip his cap.
Your offense is only as good as your bullpen.

Hoytsstash thinks Ozzie was telling him how silly he looked

Finally some good news today
Totally off topic: but if anyone wants to write there representatives about the proposed cuts here is a good link:
http://www.childrenshomeandaid.org/Page.aspx?pid=240
Wave that flag.... Wave it wide and high.. Summertime... Done come and gone, My oh my
Rather than writing after the fact . . .
I strongly recommend voting for the right people instead of the same crap that we have put in office for the past . . . I dont know, seemingly forever. The waste of tax dollars in IL is simply awesome. Waste $ everywhere and then cut areas like this . . . ridiculous.
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
haha, someone had a few
I am about to head out for some beerz, I shall drink for Danks and for Gavin’s balls: let them grow BIG and HAIRY!
Lupe, release the balloons!
Hoytsstash to crack a fresh bottle of Jameson
then curse outloud at nobody and threaten to fight myself in the mirror…..
is it obvious I’ve already started?

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

LOL !

What a fuckin clown show.

are you talking about humongous, because, that's believable...

This Baseball Patriarch Could Really Pitch Himself
How fast could Satchel Paige throw a baseball? It’s hard to know because there were no radar guns to measure ball velocity when Leroy Paige, better known as Satchel, became a pitching star of the Negro Leagues in the 1930s. In his discerning, empathetic and hype-free new Paige biography, Larry Tye cites the eyewitness account of one of the white reporters who finally began paying attention to Paige in 1934: "All you can see is something like a thin line of pipe smoke."
When asked if he threw that fast consistently, Paige, who would become famed for choice aphorisms, replied: "No, sir. I do it all the time." …

thanks wiz.
I’ve been looking for a good Satchel book since reading the few Satchel-related stories in Joe Posnanski’s Buck O’Neal book, The Soul of Baseball.
"...a mouth without grinders is like a mill without grindstone,"
-Don Quixote
from the stories I've heard Satchel was a very interesting guy, Buck must have been the man
I’ll try to check out the both books but who knows when this will happen!
btw, the Satchel book author had an interview on NPR (44m):

beanie babies.
does there seem to be more parity in MLB this year opposed to, say, the last ten years or am I just seeing things?

Some "Z" scuttlebutt
Maybe this is just an episode of “Telephone” that’s getting out of hand, but there’s a whisper going around that Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano just might plunk one of the White Sox in Thursday’s game.
Why? Because Sox pitching coach Don Cooper allegedly uttered an unkind word about Big Z during an outing.
Considering Zambrano has hit one batter in 63 2/3 innings this season, it should be easy to detect if there’s anything to this.
another quote
Overheard: A member of the Cubs’ security team discussing Ozzie Guillen’s frequent rants about the rats inside Wrigley Field:
“He knows what he’s talking about.”
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=301306
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
"He thinks he's all that."
“Girl, you got that right.”
“He thinks he can get away with anything.”
“Uh huh. Tell it, sister.”

Hoytsstash just looked at the box score and realized that Danks struck out everybody
on their fuckin’ team…!
If someone already mentioned that then fuck you Hoytsstash

-by Larry on May 28, 2009 4:55 PM PST
except the one Linebrink struck out, and the one Bobby struck out
LOL !
Perhaps it should have read, their whole fuckin team struck out at least once today…those jerks.
Jameson good.
