Random Shots: Did The White Sox Use Their Entire Supply of Runs?
Random shots while wondering whatever happened to Tom Fordham:
- The White Sox sixteen run, four homer explosion last night against Pittsburgh was nice to see, especially since it seemed like early in the game, Javy Vazquez kept giving the Pirates the lead back, but you have to wonder. I don't have the stats, but usually when the Sox have a big game like this they go ice cold for a couple of games. They really need to take advantage of the Pirates again tonight and tomorrow so they are primed for the weekend and the team with baseball's best record.
- Congrats to Big Jim Thome, who now must be mentioned in the same breathe as Ted Williams and Willie McCovey. Until his next bomb, that is.
- I don't think Paul Konerko being on the DL is a bad thing for the Sox right now. Nick Swisher will fill in nicely at first and Brian Anderson may get some additional PT in center. Hopefully the rest will get Paulie back on track because he sure has been out of sync this year.
- There is no accounting for taste at the Chicago Sun-Times.
- The firing of Willie Randolph had all the charm the Soprano's taking out Big Pussy. In fact, Mets GM Omar Maniya is a big pussy for not doing it Sunday. Good luck with Jerry Manuel, who has all the emotion of Harold Baines on Valium.
- Walter Payton's all-time favorite blocker has gotten himself in some hot water with the cops.
- Some things never change: Sweet Lou still can't win in Tampa.
- Behold, the return of the prodigal son.
- If you are sick of Brett Favre, you are about to get a lot sicker. He's about to get more coverage of any human being who hasn't died in history. (Out in Left Field)
- Bad Kermit lampoons those silly Old Style radio commercials starring "Jake, the local guy." (Hire Jim Essian!)
- What's in a name? Apparently a lot. (Serious Sports Network)
- Signs, signs, everywhere a sign. (Sox Machine)
- It looks like the "Iron Man" might be in for a little competition. (Serious Sports Network)
- If you've ever listened to a baseball pre-game show, you know how true this is. (Hire Jim Essian!)
- After suddenly discovering that Americans are paying $4 a gallon for gas, that illegal aliens continue to stream over our borders, that we are at war, that Iran may be developing a nuclear weapon, that the economy is deep in recession and that he will no longer have Tim Russert hosting him on Meet the Press, Senator Arlen Sphincter (R-Comcast) finally gives up the ghost.
- Speaking of the late Tim Russert, here are some possible names to become the new host of "Meet the Press". Go Chuck Todd!
