The Time The Nice And Worldly Soon-To-Be-43-Year-Old Led Us Into Battle

in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintWell I mean, what did you people expect.
Ozzie done strung together his latest in fancy lineups tonight, to make yet another young pitcher earn his Temporary Cy Young Badge by effortlessly shutting down the White Sox offense.
This time, Blue Jays pitcher Ricky Romero gently retired respected veterans like Omar Vizquel; while practically slapping him on the ass and calling him Angela each and every at-bat.
Vizquel was a victim of merely 1/6 of Romero's total strikeouts over 8 innings of dominant work. He threw 2 K's each inning for the first 6 innings and a no-hitter through 7, before giving up his first hit - an undoubtedly blood-boiling moment for Jays fans - a 2-run blast off the bat of our Sand-Dancer, Rios.
What's this you say? A 2-run blast would imply there was a baserunner! AJ was up to his usual showmanship and faked taking a ball to the foot to start the inning.... an act that resulted in the first and only time a White Sox leadoff man was aboard all night.
Compare that to Floyd allowing runners every inning through the first 5, and it's sort of pleasantly surprising that we didn't lose by a larger margin.
Floyd actually had a nice game and should have come away a little cleaner than he did. The 2-out, 2-run double by Encarcion in the 5th put the Blue Jays ahead 4-0, and it felt like the deal was sealed. 2 more quick strike-outs from Romero the next inning and that's when the giggle-cries began. Uhh. For me at least.
This game reeked an awful lot of 2009. This game reminded me of that time last year when Trooper wisely declared: "2009 is just 2007 in 2008's clothing." This game inhabited years of frustrating elements of White Sox Baseball - a combination of good Sox pitching and terrible offense against a young never-before-seen pitcher; a laughable lineup that led-off with the likes of Omar Vizquel (no disrespect intended, but COME ON! /Gob); and a complete offensive shut-down after a 14-hit game the night before.
Yep.
On a positive note, Linebrink pitched another successful 2 innings tonight; and that hardly ever happened last year on consecutive nights. I find myself enjoying that when he comes in to pitch, the murderous rage doesn't have to boil within me for the half-hour that I am forced to look at him on the mound. Babies don't get punted on nights like these.
So if nothing else, enjoy this one for the babies, folks.
Lots more WSB: Even If It Works It's Stupid left to play. Stick around and maybe you too will someday have a chance to earn a Temporary Cy Young badge, courtesy of your Chicago White Sox.

well, well...
…I missed the game, due to my allegiance and time commitment to the anti-tea party campaign – “Obama is an alien, I swear, you dumbass tea party lites”…okay maybe just had some family matters to tend to. Either way, thank god I missed it.
Pleasantly surprised by the concise (for you HSA) recap of the game, done by none other than our very descriptive editor. I guess there wasn’t a ton of action, thus no need for a bible length novel, but in all a very good recap. Thanks! FOV

Very cute. Without the internet, I’d be lost.
larry. A kind word for everyone.
I know the sox have a tendency to throw out the 'tip your hat' phrase a lot...
but this is exactly what that was. You could tell that Romero had no hit stuff somewhere around the 3rd inning. After floyd gave up runs 3 and 4 this one was over. I actually prefer to lose this way as opposed to leaving 40 men on base and losing 4-3. This was the jays game right from the start…… ::tips hat to romero::
Kenwo4life=ratings
Im in agreement with you,
for some reason this loss didnt hurt as much as the other 4, and I think its because, as you said, this was just the Jays game. Career performance by Romero.
The season of Oz is upon us, be afraid.
bullshit, you two are being pussies.
fuck the hat tips.
kenwo, you of all people should be up in arms about Ozzie batting Omar lead off.

but tonight it didn’t matter if rickey henderson was batting leadoff…. romero was on his shit. fuck today…go get em tomorrow.
Kenwo4life=ratings
This loss doesn't sting too much.
Romero was great, at least from what I could see. What really stings is knowing what Jones, Kotsay, Rios, and (shudder) Teahen can do, but then just, you know, don’t. Obviously Rios gets a pass and Kotsay didn’t play… but still. If the Sox had pulled it off, I’d be ecstatic that the BJs know what it feels like to see outstanding pitching wasted. And that’s the worst feeling ever, and looks to be felt a little too often by us this year.

time to get on my bitchin' high horse
Can we please just have guys that are solid everyday players play everyday? Can we please leave Rios and Beckham alone? Do we need to start having Omar spelling Kong at 1st every 6th or so day?
Ozzie has really lost it this year with the lineups.
I really cannot even fathom Ozzie’s hair-brain logic behind batting Vizquel leadoff, as Ozzie’s logic seems to start and end with “is he fast” when determining who to bat there.
Well, he ain’t fast, so wtf is it?
Just play the best players often, that’s all I ask. It’s fucking April, nobody is tired yet. At least wait until July and August to start throwing out the “Beckham you’re the DH” lineups.
HSA, your future career is unfolding before all of us.
I am more prone to be inquisitive to promote discussion.
She's a modern day Jerome Holtzman
As for the game, it was a nice, quick, dispatching.
Floyd kept them in the game, and it would have been neat to tee off on Kevin Gregg. But, whatever.
I’m starting to kinda like the offense. Rios has been good. Quentin, Beckham, and PK have been solid.
The only black holes have been Teahen, AJ, and Pierre.
They’ve already won one game in Toronto – and by that metric this year’s Sox are better than the 2009 and 2008 teams, and are just as good as the 2007 team.
So they’ve got that going for them. Which is nice.
if HSA is a modern day jerome holtzman
then perhaps the word count will be the statistic to evaluate baseball journalism / blogging.

i liked the recap HSA
i still think it’s far to early to evaluate the team’s season projection based on the first several games.
overlapping with 67WMAQ’s thoughts, it’s nice that alex rios hasn’t started off the season slumping.
and i’m digging the bullpen. and if santos holds up and putz remains healthy, then i would put up our top four of santos-putz-thornton-jenks against any other team’s in the division…
….which means our offense is going to rock.

I'm where HSA is with Linebrink when it comes to Rios
I hated the signing last year and seethed with rage watching him hack it up and piss away our chances at contending last year, but this year, he is looking better at the plate and has even reached a stage of bitter intrigue that could blossom to acceptance with continued performance. He still owes a full solid half-season of this though. Linebrink still exists in the get tossed off a cliff and not be missed category.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this.
The local identification of South Shields people with Arabs, which is widespread in the region, may have originated from the placename Arbeia (which is apparently a Latinized version of an Aramaic term meaning “place of the Arabs”), but there has also been a fairly sizeable Arab community in South Shields since the 1890s. This is also one hypothesised explanation of the term “Sandancer” (derived from “sand dancer”) for people born and brought up in South Shields.

The entire comment section is meant for talking about the Sox. What else would it be used for?

I'm normally not one for conspiracy theories,
and I don’t know how much credibility, if any, there is to it, but here’s the link to what I read: http://www.jackliberty.com/the-weird-death-of-polands-president/
Also not my blog, coincidence its called jackliberty!
