i wasn't sure about the read the left fieder got on the ball
but i enjoyed watching punto thinking about threatening to break his bat over his thigh.

and bobby valentine saying now texas should score a run, bring in adams for the 8th and feliz for the 9th and have an easy win.
thanks bobby.

writer of the awful cards bet piece writes an awful one regarding na na hey hey and the white sox:
includes such nuggets as:
The Times’ obit spins a neat tale of how “Na Na Hey Hey” came to be, but how the song transcended from the radio and 8-track players to stadiums should give White Sox fans a lot of pride. After all, the Sox haven’t contributed much else to baseball popular culture.
and
And now that Ozzie Guillen is gone and Theo Epstein is moving into the ballpark on the North Side, well, White Sox fans are entering an uncomfortable period.
what a nimrod
we don’t have uncomfortable anything cuz of the cubs. gimme a break
david brown is an uncomfortable period.
but big ups to commenter Bob N who told him where to go.
What is with this idiotic story? It is basically a “bash the White Sox” story written under the guise of a tribute to Paul Leka.
Fine, you don’t like the Sox. Take your misguided opinions and go write about some other crappy team you do like. You should have given this story to someone who is at least neutral about the Sox and might actually write more about what the headline noted and less about the things they don’t like about the White Sox.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
i was amused that the editor ('duk)
tried to defend him, saying brown is ‘a lifelong white sox’ fan. a bizarrely masochistic one, apparently.
He is a White Sox fan.
Good-natured guy on Twitter. I didn’t know people were capable of actively disliking him.

i don't dislike him, i have been reading his stuff on bls for a while now,
but that is two particularly bad articles of his that i have come across over the last few days. really bad tone-wise. i don’t get the change.
to read the article you wouldn’t have thought it was a white sox fan authoring it. like i said, it was masochistic, but without much humour to it.
"masochistic, but without much humour"
That describes a lot of White Sox fans prior to 2005.

For sure, but how masochistic is he?
FFS, if you’re a Sox fan and can’t attribute more to baseball culture than Brown does… well, maybe you should read Veeck as in Wreck just one more time. Or look up “south paw” in the dictionary. Or watch a few baseball movies (yes, even Eight Men Out and Field of Dreams, FFS).
“After all, the Sox haven’t contributed much else to baseball popular culture.” That makes my fucking blood boil, especially coming from a supposed fan. And compare the Sox contributions to other teams? Oh, so sorry we weren’t the highlight of a Jimmy Fallon or Leslie Nielson movie! Or a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode! What will we do without our culture?!?
I feel like we should compile a list of grievances on the RR.

thanks-just read this too which is interesting
Manager Al Lopez’ decision not to start Pierce in the 1959 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers was highly controversial. After Cy Young Award winner Early Wynn started for Chicago in Game 1, Lopez chose to start Bob Shaw (18–6 in the regular season) and Dick Donovan (9–10) in the next two contests, which the White Sox lost by scores of 4–3 and 3–1. Pierce was held back until Game 4, and relieved in each of the final three games of the Series, allowing only two hits and no runs in four innings of work. In Game 4 he entered in the fourth inning with Chicago trailing 4–0, and pitched a hitless three innings before being pulled for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, when the Sox tied the game; the Dodgers went on to win 5–4. In Game 5 he entered in the eighth inning to protect a 1–0 lead, but only issued an intentional walk before Lopez again changed pitchers; the White Sox held on for the 1–0 win. Lopez even chose to start Wynn in Game 6 on two days’ rest, but he was ineffective, and Chicago was behind 8–3 by the time Pierce was brought in to start the eighth inning; the Dodgers later added a run in the ninth inning to complete the 9–3 win and capture the Series championship. Being used out of the bullpen was a deep letdown for Pierce, who said in a 1982 interview, “Other guys, Early Wynn and Bob Shaw, had better years than I did that year. And against the left-handed-heavy lineup the Dodgers threw at us, Al wanted his right-handers like Dick Donovan. There was no question I was disappointed, but I understood.”49 However, there have been suggestions that Lopez’ decision had other, undisclosed motivations; noting his surprise that Lopez chose to use Pierce out of the bullpen, outfielder Al Smith recalled, “We all knew why Al Lopez didn’t pitch him, but we never told anyone and I won’t say now. I will say that I thought he should have pitched. He’d been pitching all year, hadn’t he?”54

Lion-O is a 12 year old trapped in the body of an adult.
Also, he was a total douche who had to rely on Snarf.
Panthro on the other hand, that was a cool motherfucker. He used nunchuks, was the smartest of the group by far, created all of their machinery, and was the strongest of the group.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
