Now, That's What I Call Offensive
Those rumors about the White Sox wood being dead was just a rumor. Last night, we saw what the full potential of this team is in a 10-4 laugher over the Athletics.
John Danks with some superb pitching. David Aardsma with an inning of scoreless relief. Andrew Ssico, thanks for playing, here's your bus ticket to Charlotte.
Offensively, the Sox packed a wallop with Jim Thome and Jermaine Dye both going yard. Paul Konerko had some good at bats. Darrin Erstad had another good night. That's what I'm talking about.
I would imagine that Ozzie Guillen and Kenny Williams are a little less brittle right now.
Lightning Round
- Here's another article trying to tell people that there is a baseball team in Milwaukee and that they are pretty good.
- The Cubs will erect a statue to Ernie Banks that they will unveil next year. No telling if Julian Tavarez will attend. BTW, the Cubs really need a Jack Brickhouse statue as well. It's only fair. Not paying tribute to a man who worked longer and harder for more lousy baseball teams and is all but forgotten with the under thirty crowd because of Harry Caray is a crime. Jack Brickhouses' contribution to the Cubs is constantly overlooked an a crappy pennant down the left field line is a far from just reward.
- In the chase for Lord Stanley's Cup, as predicted in this column, the Ducks and Sens will play for Lord Stanley's cup as Anaheim downs Detroit 4-3. A finals preview comes your way over the weekend. Here's the schedule for the finals.
- Looks like the 2011 Super Bowl will be played in Dallas at the new Cowboys stadium. The Dallas group outbid a group from Indianapolis which was disqualified when it was discovered that Indianapolis does not qualify as a city.
- Looks like next year is tomorrow for NASCAR.
- Memo to the Washington Redskins: Why not let Clinton Portis apologize on behalf of himself instead of you doing it for him. Besides, you don't apologize for your offensive nickname, why apologize to dogs?
- Sam Perlozzo seems like a man who is about to go Lee Elia on somebody.
- PETA to LSU: Don't replace your dead tiger with a live tiger. LSU to PETA: Let go of our ears, we know what we're doing. And by the way, we're still using pigskins for footballs.
- Looks like Larry Bird is going to have to move to plan "b"
- If you are twelve years old and playing little league and don't know how to slide, don't expect your lawyer to teach you. Another example of why suits like this need to meet their demise in front of tougher judges.
- Speaking of tough judges, that's what I'm talking about. Paging David E. Kelley.
- Let he who is without budget cast the first Stone. No big loss. The dude with his pregnant pauses and constant head whips blows donkey chunks. I'm sure CNN will suck him up, maybe to replace the guy with the greatest name in news: Wolf Blitzer. I love these pre-packaged network press releases where these anchors say things like "I've really enjoyed the opportunity and I thank everyone at the network for 15 great years", when you know they are probably really saying "I've busted my ass for these losers for a long time and all I get is a pink slip while lugnuts like Olbermann, David Gregory and that friggin' government hack Pete Williams get to keep their jobs. Bastages.
- Four workers in New Hampshire were fired for gossiping at work. If that was routine office procedure, everyone would be unemployed instead of just some of us.
- I thought this Godfather themed tribute to Alberto "Fredo" Gonzalez was very creative.
