Random Thoughts: Rain Makes White Sox Schedule Bottom Heavy
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Eric King:
The White Sox rain out last night against Tampa adds yet another game to the back half of the schedule, giving the Sox a pretty busy August and September. It will be hard to fight divisional opponents when you have a bunch of make-up games penciled in. The happiest guy about last night's rain out is rookie starter John Danks who will be pushed back to Tuesday, avoiding Johan Santana. Jose Contreras gets the honors tomorrow night.- People need to get off Greg Walker's back. He didn't suddenly go stupid.
- It looks like the primary objective in the AL Central this year will be beat the Indians. The Tigers seem to have problems of their own, especially in the bullpen.
- Don't look now, but here come the Phillies.
- Bobby Cox is one ejection away from the all-time record of leaving games early.
- An 81 year-old woman tries to extort two million dollars from former Packer (and Alabama) Quarterback Bart Starr claiming she had a relationship with Starr over 50 years ago (when she was 30 and he was 23)
. If you wanted two million for that story, lady, you should have written a book. - Mike Ditka is not a big fan of NFLPA President Gene Upshaw. In fact, on the radio Friday afternoon, Da Coach put his boot where the sun don't shine. Love him or loathe him, he's still Ditka.
- Bob Harlan will remain President of the Packers while Harlan's hand picked successor John Jones, who took over last year, takes a leave of absence. Most people think this is related to Jones' health (he had open heart surgery last year) than anything sinister like Brett Favre doesn't like him.
- It's the Indy 500 live from the world's most boring city. Since I don't follow open wheel, I have no idea who may win, but neither do the experts. What really is apparent is that the former "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" has become a footnote compared to NASCAR, who has the Coca Cola 600 tonight in Charlotte.
- If Dale Earnhardt Junior wants to race for Joe Gibbs, he has to leave his beer at home. However Bud can stay if Junior goes to work at the Ginn mill.
- This holiday weekend, make the perfect burger.
- Lindsey Lohan, six weeks out of rehab, gets busted for DUI. How dumb does someone have to be?
- House fans, rejoice. Dr. Foreman will be back next year.
- For all of the Star Wars Geeks celebrating the 30th anniversary of said legendary film brand, this one's for you:
