The Old Man Deserves a Break

Omar Vizquel will be missing the entire series against the Cubs to attend to an unspecified family matter in Venezuela. Pressed into an expanded role due to Mark Teahen's injury, Vizquel has responded with decent offense and his usual impressive defense.
Today's game against Detroit was no exception. He handled every ball hit his way with aplomb, hit a first inning (wind-aided) home run and executed (but barely) a suicide squeeze to score Gordon Beckham.
Vizquel remains a solid back-up infielder due to his ability to play average to above-average defense at three infield position. While he's miscast as a top of the order hitter, it's not like there are currently overwhelming options Ozzie Guillen is passing over.
Have a restful break, Omar.

Sox Take Series, Vizquel Puts It On The Booooarrrrd...No Joke!
The Sox finished the series against the Tigers today with a win for the consistent and consistently-cursed John Danks.
By some small miracle, the Sox were able to score more runs than Danks allowed, in a 3-0 rubber match victory.
I know, I know, you've got that look of confusion as you suddenly recall that they also won last night.
That isn't just your Blackhawks hangover talking...
For only the 5th time this season, the Sox won back-to-back games.
If that doesn't throw off your sense of cosmic balance, you're really going to be confuzzled about this next bit.
Omar Vizquel was responsible for 2 of the Sox runs today, one of which came in the 1st inning in the shape of a home run.
Someone test this guy for HGH, S.T.A.T.!
Just to prove to all you skeptics that he is truly a Jack of all trades - on and off the field - Vizquel's other RBI came in the form of a 'short ball' - a sac bunt in the 6th inning that scored Beckham from 3rd.
Significantly, Beckham was on 3rd because Juan Pierre also bunted in the previous at-bat, to advance Becks after his lead-off double.
Can you say OZZIEBALL??!
No... please don't.
Sergio Santos came in to relieve Danks in the 8th, and loaded the bases with a single and two walks. Just as it felt as though Danks was in for another undeserved indecision at best, with 2 outs and the bases juiced, Santos got Cabrera swinging on a 3-2 slider low in the zone to end the inning.
Serge Protector!
AJ gave the Sox a little extra cushion with a dinger in the 8th, and Bobby Jenks finished the job.
Well done, chaps!

He should be suspended. That is a flat-out, absolute disgrace to the umpiring profession, what this guy has been doing. West doesn’t care. -Hawk

And nowhere in comments or recaps do I see a mention
That Danks gave up ONE hit in 7 innings.
Yeah, I know about the walks. But a one hitter over 111 pitches ain’t sneeze.

Excellent call-out. 4BBs, 4Ks, 1 hit, 0 ER.
Not too shabby at all.

we had some nice starting pitching this series.
just a shame that thornton chose to pull a boejouma and shit the best on tuesday.
it’s only the cubs coming up so maybe peavy and buehrle can help to put together five quality starts on the trot.
Serge Protector.
I like that.

I don't take credit... if the site search function was working for me, I'd find out who coined it.

Dan Patrick- "Why is this affecting you?"
Jeremy Roenick- "Its the Chicago Blackhawks man."

Pretty funny tho, I didn’t remember that Chi started it.

Good day all around
Started the day at O’Hare – covering the Hawks as they returned from Philly (plane landed at 4). Got some good pictures of the Cup. Followed them from the airport to Harry Caray’s in Rosemont, and then to the Pony on Belmont.
After a quick nap – it was on to a crisp, well played Sox game. Probably the best of the year.
If there’s one thing I have learned from following the Stanley Cup Finals, is that hockey draws in the beautiful women. No other sport comes close.
Theain is the guy I Just can’t stand! pierre is almost as bad,he dose get on base more. If Quntin gets any worse trade him. WE NEED HELP!
Tdogg's got that locked up
Then again, he is on strike.

Very jealous.
Sounds like a fantastic day.

or at least start to pitch well and then open his mouth.
it doesn’t have quite the same effect when you suck and are running your mouth.
Kenwo4life=ratings
How about just pitch well and he won't need to open his mouth
I’m sure he’d be all for taking a cut to move to a contending team – as well as drop that “fly his family in and put them up” provision he had the Sox add… since he obviously is just getting by and couldn’t afford it
