The White Sox slogan for 2008 is, "Show the passion. Show the swagger." And they make lots of funny jokes in commercials about how Ozzie Guillen curses a bunch. Ha ha ha!
It's so tough and gritty and just downright gamer-y. What a bunch of MEN. (I actually like Ozzie Guillen, particularly because he wanted to beat up the dillweeds that perpetrated the insanely unmanly attack on Craig Biggio's wife. Plus he's just funny. This joke where he starts Juan Uribe is particularly hi-lar.)
Hopefully Steve makes his face for 5 or 6 innings tonight and doesn't get bombed out in short order.

1st place Baltimore Orioles.
Heh heh heh…
Tim Brown guarantees that the Orioles will fall off… soon.. like, end of April.. He suggests that this roadtrip will be our downfall for the rest of the year, but he thinks we should feel good about ourselves for having done so well to start the season. And again, he says, “Sorry Baltimore. You’ll be done by the end of April.”
It’s on one of the yahoo videos.
Yahoo! has the O's at 25 or so
while ESPN has us at 9. Go figure.

I've saved some...
...of the “experts” comments saying Baltimore will be done by June. I hope to throw it back in their faces come September.
Sox have such an inferiority complex with the Cubs
They’ll never get more press and love than the Cubs, so everyone associated with the team (including fans) seems to overcompensate by being overly aggressive and trying to act all tough. When the Sox and Cubs play interleague, White Sox fans start most of the fights. My friend saw a Sox fan literally fly over two rows of seats, Superman-style, to punch a Cubs fan.

the next time i go to an O's game..
..I will be confused not to see red dots after every pitch.
Nothing like a 2-hour girls softball scrimmage
to prepare me for a Trax start. Geez. My own kid walked the 7 batters she saw…I feel like Rick Kranitz on a night when Aquino is pitching…
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
Not today..
but she will be by the end of this season..
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
I went to one game Trax started
It will be the last. My ass hurt an hour into the game in about the second inning.
We played 3.5 innings
in a little over 2 hours. And the other team twice ended their batting with less than 3 outs to help speed things up. :(
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
Indians beat the Yankees...
after they walked Hafner to load the bases and to face Victor Martinez. Martinez singled the game winning run.
look what I get for the smartass comment
2 RBI double!
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Trapezoid, right?

You can put this one in the WIN column! We’ll be back with the lovely totals…

Lookeee here! We're scoring RUNS early!
And it was Razor!
OK, Trax, here’s your 2-run lead, cling to it tightly…

From Game 1
Brian Burres: “I was just trying to concentrate on what I had to do and keep them from scoring,” Burres said. “We’ve been pretty good about scoring runs, so I was just waiting for us to score.”
I’m not used to a place where an O’s pitcher is confident the team will score runs to help him out. This is a little discombobulating.
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
Took me a second to figure out a spelling for it...
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
So much for the no-no...
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
I fired up my foot long Cuban Robusto to savor Burres's game of his career
just in time to watch RZA spank in a couple of ribbies…. aahhh…it’s good to be in Birdland
O's are up 21-0 in teh 2nd...
OK, maybe not. Trax is taking forever to pitch with a man on 1st and 0 outs.
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
23 degrees colder tonight than last night
and supposed to get into the 40s by the end of the game
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
Palmer: "When your pitching coach with Tracshel pitching
you’re always on the egde of your seat…” stabbing yourself in the arm with knitting needles to stay awake?
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
Sorry, "When YOU'RE pitching ..."
I know better….
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
Why isn't Crede thrown out?
HE screamed AND pointed.
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
I am so glad AJ Perzinnsky is playing
such a gamer.
Also, Peter Schmuck called Adam Loewen a gamer. HAHAHAH
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
A game per month, maybe....
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
How did that only score 1?
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
I think dude
thought Scott was going to catch it.
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
I don't think Scott ever thought he would

"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
brian anderson.. .143 batting average. 0 rbi
until trachsel.
time to warm up our fucking bullpen.
I’m still… a … trachsel… fan… but really, he makes it hard…
Apparently, Steve decided he didn't like a 2-run lead
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
absolutely not. I hate it when your team scores, and you just give it right back the next inning.
gets on my nerves.
really…
Obviously, it's not preferred...
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
Oh, no, he's not gonna make it THAT easy
He’s gonna make us think he’s still OK to stay in, letting just 1 or 2 runs at a time, until we look up in the 5th and we’re suddenly down by 6.
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
2nd time through the lineup
while we’re in the 2nd inning. Not a good sign…
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
Sherrill's an option for this game, too, according to Diamond Dave.
Discuss.
"Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is." - Dave Trembley
I would hope so
He pitched a third of an inning earlier.

Just struck me as odd
to use him twice in the same day, no matter how long the outing. But then again, how often do teams play split double-headers?

I suppose he is, yes.

These fucking ChiSox announcers just went on for 5 minutes about how that wasn’t Buerhle’s fault that he threw the ball inside and hit Scott – it was Scott who got himself hit by the pitch.
had to leave. i see a torres E and a run. good thing he's up.
A guy like Cintron must have to wait his turn because it’s the right thing to do.

buehrle's probably gone after this inning..
