No, not the one who liked to give up grand slams in '04, the real one.
More later, maybe
Colin's Bullet Point Recap Is A Go
- The Sox defense was probably the cause for the close game. The Dodgers managed 6 hits off Richard in 4 1/3 IP, none left the park and that was as bad as Sox pitching looked all game. 12 K's, 3 BB's and no pop should not amount to 5 runs. But Alexei and Pods wanted to take it another direction. And let's not forget the stolen bases. Casey Blake had 2, ffs.
- But the veterans, whatever their faults, were the ones responsible for the victory. Getz, Wise and Fields were a combined 1 for 13. Their best work came when Fields took a walk and was subsequently tripled home by Wise. AJ, Paulie, Thome and JD, on the other hand, were 6 for 17 with two 2B and two HR.
- The bullpen is hopefully back to it's boring awesome self. 8 2/3 IP of 1 run ball was all it took for the Sox to complete the comeback.
- Aaron Poreda was rewarded for another good looking inning with the win. 6 K, 1 BB in 4 2/3 so far this season.
- A series win against the Dodgers? It would feel better if the Tigers hadn't swept the Cubs, but it's way more than I was expecting.
- Now that it's nearly July, the Sox' power may have finally come on. 9 HR in 3 games off good pitching is a nice notch going forward. For the month of June, the Sox are 8th in the league in ISO and 2nd in the AL outside of the East. For comparison, the Sox have a .177 ISO for June '09, a .222 in June '08, and a .116 for June '07.

Thank you.
The City of Chicago, led by Mayor Daley and a vast and tumorous army of aldermen and bagmen and yesmen and opportunists and spineless, parasitic political-machine halfwits of forms never seen outside the roiling cesspool of governmental slop-trough greed, has proven itself unworthy of something as potentially delicious and fulfilling as the 2016 Olympic Games.

here it is
"I never criticize my players for making errors on the field, I never will," Ozzie said. "But when you make a lazy error, that really (ticks) me off."
"I thought he was a better shortstop than me," Ozzie said. "I made a big mistake when I said in January he’s going to be a better shortstop than Ozzie Guillen. I never thought I was that bad."

ah, so Ozzie didn't say "I never thought he would be this bad..." Ozzie said that he didn't think he (Ozzie) was that bad (in comparing their abilities at SS). BIG difference.

What you may not realize is that Cheat "outsources" the headlines
and much of the editorial. Most of the time the humor gets lost in translation, but once in a while they get it right… like today.
Enough monkeys at enough typewriters…

Had seats right behind the Sox dugout. A nice afternoon.
I witnessed the strangest weather phenomena while at the game. It rained. On my section. It wasn’t just drizzle – it really started raining in the 9th inning. The infield was still sunny and dry.
Gordon Beckham not only has at bat music – he also has pinch runner music. The Outfield played when he ran for Konerko at the end.
This will forever be known as “that game where Michael Jackson died.”

I was in 131... also rained on
my dad had a good time in the suite with the 59 players… apparently they don’t cut off beer sales in the skyboxes as he was loaded after the game haha…. fun stuff today…. Alexei played the field like a dog…. Pods missed a very catchable fly ball.. and Konerko dogged it to first resulting in a double play (the guy uses being slow as an excuse for being a lazy jagoff… he didn’t even jog to first on that play) but we won anyway. i’ll take 2 of 3 from the Dodgers anytime. Now lets do the same if not more vs. the Cubbies.

I thought I saw that on TV, but thought maybe the HD feed was just screwy because when the camera panned elsewhere it didn't look anything like rain.
