Moral Victories Are For Losers

by The Cheat on Jul 10, 2009 10:39 PM CDT in White Sox Game Recaps

They don't hang banners for giving away games in the first inning, but valiantly fighting back for close losses. Hooray for keeping the pythag close!

I agree, Moral Victories Are For Losers.

But Danks learned much, much, much in that game.

Time to show Walker and Dotel the door.

yeah

dont throw 20 balls in your first 25 pitches.

I love this team again. I know they’re bad for me.
They’ll probably get drunk again and beat me… but I just can’t help myself.

Can we still trade Fields for Sanchez?

Uribe just ruined a perfect game.

error in the 8th to fuck Jonathan Sanchez.

I don't know why, but I find that awesome.

Too bad SF's pitching staff is better than ours

Joe Coleman threw a no-hitter once.

Doesn’t make Sanchez into Buehrle – or Danks, even.

We’re a pack of a-holes.

I didn't watch the game

So I have nothing to say. Other than these Boston pansies don’t know how to drink. Fucking 1 am last call? And I can’t buy a shot at last call? Wtf? If I were in Chicago, I’d still be drinking.

Never been so homesick as tonight.

Is it still the fourth inning?

Agree

I was in Boston for the first time last week. And the LATE bars shut down at 1. Thats fucked up.

Oh, right. I see. I get it. You were lampooning me. It was a simple lampoon.

same 2AM license bullshit out west, too.

people look at me like i’m crazy when i bitch about it. if you’re near the coast, you can always grab a cooler and head down to the bonfires on the beach. big if, though.

These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.

And we get Ed Farmer.

Reindorf has his head up his ass.

Neil Funk in -- Jim Durham out.

Rooney left because he always wanted to do the Cards games

sort of like Larrivee and GB.

nothing like joining a conversation a week later…
