I don’t mind the White Sox bringing in Manny Ramirez. He has at least proven that he can hit in both leagues. I just think it’s just a matter of whether he can still do it or not.
It was just a little over a week ago that the White Sox were in first place. Now they’ve played themselves out of it. There’s all sorts of blame to put around, but I’m not going to dissect. I just know that if a team can’t beat a last place team, then you shouldn’t be in the playoffs.
On the bright side, Chris Sale looked really good in his last few starts. John Danks didn’t sign an extension yet. Could Chris Sale be his replacement???
I agree with every thing Ozzie just said.
This coming series against the Twins is going to set the tone towards what’s going to happen during the course of the season. With the offense being lack luster again, I’m not confident the White Sox can win two of three against the Twins. Doesn’t help that the bullpen is starting to show signs of falling apart. Here’s hoping the White Sox can win at least one of the three.
Some Random Notes:
- Inception was a great movie. I read that if you stay during the ending credits, some thing happens, but I can’t confirm that as I didn’t stay towards the ending credits.
- I’m happy for Scottie Pippen on making the hall of fame as well as becoming an ambassador with the Chicago Bulls. He was my favorite player aside from Jordan.
- I can’t believe there’s a remake The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo coming out. I don’t get remakes. Wouldn’t it make sense to just play the original instead of wasting money bringing out another version that is probably going to be not as good as the original. People just have nothing better to do with their money.
Could the Orioles be rejuvenated, or did the White Sox offense catch a case of the offense runnittis again. I don’t feel at all surprised that the White Sox lost 3 of 4 to the Orioles. It’s a shame because not only has starting pitching giving the White Sox a chance to win games, but now the race for first has gotten tighter with the rival Twins coming in this week and next week. I think it’s good that the White Sox lost the series to the Orioles. You don’t want to have too much momentum and confidence going into the Twins series.
Some Random Notes:
Being jobless is depressing and uninspiring, but you know who I look to for inspiration…Terrell Owens. Terrell Owens you say? If such a problematic cancerous player such as Owens can find a job, than it gives me hope that I can find a job too. Since I’m on the subject of football, I can’t wait for the Bears season to start. Same for the Bulls!
What this girl did when she quit her job really made my day!
I know how that little ape feels about wanting to play video games!
Bobby Jenks should buy Mark Kotsay dinner today if he hasn’t. That’s ab0ut four blown saves so far? Today’s game was frustrating and nerve wrecking and we know who to thank for that. I thought the closer role was going to be up for committee? Next week’s game against the Twins is going to be so crucial.
Some Random Notes:
I feel bad for the person who owned this burnt PS3.
Gavin Floyd pitched a beauty and has been his last several outings, but more importantly, the offense spotted him much runs. Gordon Beckham continues to hit well. I’m glad he had his sophomore slump during the first half of the season rather than the second. With all those trade rumors now dead, him hitting as well as he has been lately is a huge boost down the second half stretch.
Frank Thomas getting his due by having his number retired on August 29th, mark that for Frank Thomas day. It was such an honor and pleasure to watch the big hurt play while growing up!
This Hawk Harrelson sound bite site is pretty funny.
Random Note: Won’t be able to update the site as I’ll be away for a wedding for a week…Go White Sox!
That Walking Dead trailer is looking good, and it’s looking like the book started off.
Of reading Bobby Jenks be irritated by challenge of proving himself. How about this, stop irritating us White Sox fans by consistently giving up a hit or walking batters when coming in to close a game.
Mark Buerhle pitched a magnificent game today and the offense did a splendid job of scoring runs. Buerhle going the distance really helped keep the bullpen’s arms fresh.
Random Note: Toy Story 3 was so good!
I don’t know about anybody else, but watching blown saves really frustrates me. The White Sox should be 6 and 0 on this current road trip. Yes Bobby Jenks has only blowned two saves, but the real stat is how many times has Jenks come in to close a game and not give up a walk or a hit? I’m willing to bet 75% of those games he has given up at least a walk, or a hit. His ERA is way too high for a closer too.
The White Sox might want to take a look at another relief pitcher to go along with left-handed power bat. Just for the record, I would not put a trade with Gordon Beckham for Prince Fielder. Are the only options for a left-handed bat has to be from the National League? Can’t the White Sox find another suitable bat from the American League instead?
Nice pair of wins by the White Sox after that horrible loss to the Twins. Omar Vizquel is so money when he plays third base. He makes hard catches look so routine and silky smooth. Alexei Ramirez is not too shabby himself and he’s been doing it on offense too.
It’s too bad we can’t splice some defense DNA from Vizquel and Ramirez and infuse it to Dayan Viciedo and Mark Teahen. Speaking of Mark Teahen, I wonder who will be off the roster when Teahen comes back. Everybody seems to be playing really well. What really irks me is Carlos Quentin constantly being on the DL. I’m hoping his offensive momentum doesn’t cool off when sitting on the DL.
