Lillibridge looming large

Konerko on plays by @BSLillibridge: "I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game end with two great plays like that by one guy."less than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet Reply

 

I'm not sure if I feel sorrier for Juan Uribe or Paul Konerko. You'd think the latter would be one of the last two guys to remember how Game 4 of the 2005 World Series ended, considering he caught the final out.

Also, while I'm playing the role of Buzz Killington, Brent Lillibridge might not even own the two greatest back-to-back catches by a White Sox player in the Bronx this century. I'd like to submit as evidence this video from Aug. 8, 2005, when Aaron Rowand started the game by robbing Derek Jeter with a lunging catch on the warning track for the first out of the game, and making an over-the-shoulder grab on a deep drive to the other gap by Robinson Cano.

I'm not taking anything away from Lillibridge, though. I just enjoy creating excuses to watch footage of great catches by White Sox players. Under the circumstances, Lillibridge's double-barreled action was the most unlikely of the three, and for that he receives extra credit.

He also receives a reprieve. He's the 25th man on the roster, and that spot is reserved for defensive and pinch-running specialists. One steal and two Web Gems in two victories will buy him some time.

Not to mention, per Doug Padilla, some real estate in Times Square.

If this series proves to be

a key turning point for the WSox this season, BL deserves some credit for contributing something to build on.

Great reach into the archives. I love when you do this.

Rowand’s 2nd catch wasn’t as good as Lilli’s 2nd – or first. And the game was not on the line, Buzz. ;)

Very satisfying night.

What KW needs to do is trade Lillibridge to NY ASAP.

I’m sure the fans are wondering what it would take to get him, much like when 2005 when Rowand made those two catches. I recall Yankee fans having a huge hard-on for Rowand. Swish wouldn’t have made those plays!

Devil’s advocate for a moment. Suppose Humber put together 2 or 3 additional decent starts.
What would you do?

A) Nothing move him to the bullpen and send Russell down.
B) Slow Peavy down a bit more and look at him closer to June.
C) Mr. Buerhle pick it up. Maybe you’d like some bullpen work.
D) Look closer at Coop’s plan at a semi 6 man rotation.

A, Peavy is ready when he's ready.

6 man rotation means less starts for Danks, Jackson and Floyd, so that’s out. Maybe someone offers a trade for him, otherwise you keep him around and see if he can fill a spot in the rotation next year along with Sale.

The plan isn't a straight-up 6-man rotation

but rather to split Peavy and Humber, and have Humber occasionally spot start during long stretches without an off day to give the starters a little extra time. I figure Humber would then sit in the bullpen the rest of the time.

Obviously C is the least likely. I just wanted options in the scenario. A is the best choice but if Humber did give 3 more good starts I wouldn’t be shocked at B. Buerhle would be less valuable not useless. Surely he as a long man is better than Pena.

DEAR ABBY: I recently had a conversation with my married sister that left me speechless. While making plans to visit me for a few days, she asked if I could "hook her up" with any guys. Not only was it awkward, it left me feeling disgusted.

If a person is unhappy in his or her marriage, shouldn’t the marriage be ended before looking for someone else? (By the way, my brother-in-law thinks they have a great marriage.)

A few days later, my sister informed me that her "boyfriend" had broken things off with her. I am dumbfounded! My sister will be coming to spend some time with me soon, and I’m sure this subject is bound to come up again. How do I handle a situation I find so offensive?

There’s a big difference when you make two great game saving catches for the finnal the final two outs. You won’t find anyone to top that.

even though they still ain't hittin, so good to see los sox playing good ball

The Bridge was amazing: playing to win! Rios had a good game. Koko’s the Man. Gavin was awesome. Ozzie used the bullpen properly (Thornton especially!). I love that Gavin came out for the 9th even though it didn’t work out.
Santos needs to throw strikes more reliably, of course, because against ARod and Cano when he gets behind, I don’t think The Bridge will keep bailing him out. He’s gotta learn that ARod’ll lean out over the plate to drive the ball to right unless you make him move his feet w your big fastball. Cano is simply too talented a hitter to get behind in the count to. Maybe if Sergio could throw his changeup for a strike (it’s happened before) he could get away with it, but Cano’s too good. That’s the nightmare scenario: down in the count to Cano at Yankee Stadium. And we got the win anyway!

Nice of them to name him, heh?

Part blue collar superhero and part pure entertainment, the Empire Man character has come to represent great value, world-class customer care, and next day installation to generations of home furnishing and home improvement consumers.

Introduced in 1977 as a live action character and later adapted into a popular animated persona, the Empire Man has grown to become a cultural icon.

The Empire Man has been seen internationally in commercials and other media, has spawned a line of popular bobblehead dolls, is featured as a crowd favorite, and inspired the Chicago Cubs to proclaim an official "Empire Day" at legendary Wrigley Field.

Recently, Empire has launched two new video sites – www.empirecarpet.tv and www.empiretoday.tv to showcase the history of Empire’s popular video commercials.

christina karl article about how ozzie doesn't really play ozzieball

http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/9718/the-guillen-number-white-sox-rely-on-hrs

not sure why she doesn’t mention that the sox are among the league leaders in stolen base attempts and sacrifice bunts.

that too.

i mean shouldn’t the conclusion be that he tries to play ozzieball and fails, not that he does not play ozzieball?

Hey, calm down, you two.

don't worry you’ve got plenty of time left by the tomb

ozzieball really doesnt exist

it just consists of giving up runs on the basepaths and not striking out by grounding out

I hope Kotsay gets hit by a dump truck and slips into a coma where he is stuck forever in Baseball purgatory having to bat against a three-headed, six-armed Lefty Hydra consisting of Billy Wagner, Damaso Marte, and Randy Johnson. - Shoeless In SC

more proof heyman just pulls stuff out of his ass
on his slump, @nickswisher told #chisox buddies: “they’re throwing me 15 out of 20 breaking balls. I’ve got to prove I can hit it.”
