Random Shots: Lego Head Delivers
Random shots while wondering whatever happened to Ken Kravec:
What a ballgame yesterday. Although Carlos "Lego Head" Quentin gets the props for his seventh inning jack off of struggling reliever Carlos "Dumbo Ears" Marmol, the real hero(s) of the game were the Sox bullpen. Logan, Masett, Thornton, Linebrink and Jenks were fantastic, although Bobby, as usual, gave most Sox fans heart failure in the bottom of the ninth. One more game until we can get on with our lives.- Where do I begin? To tell the story of how deep a love can be? Okay, so maybe it isn't the love that's deep.
- On behalf of Chicago White Sox fans everywhere, God bless you Manny Parra.
- I love "Sox Side Sox", but I'm here to tell you, when it comes to the Twinkies, throw the numbers out the window. They never play the way anyone predicts they will because they are well managed and take advantage of almost every opportunity they are given, especially late in the game. Numbers be damned. (South Side Sox)
- Don Cooper's freak hammy injury has been a source of inspiration for the jolly jokesters on the White Sox. BTW, memo to Thom and Gracie: The reason Ozzie is going to the mound and not Coop is that Coop would have to crawl. (Bugs & Cranks)
- And while I'm on the subject, there were so many inaccuracies spewed by Fox yesterday, i thought Joe Morgan was on their crew. "A rare start by DeWayne Wise." Yeah, considering he's been with the team for about 10 or so games, I suppose that is okay. Nothing on Coop's hammy or the story and some other stuff that was not rooted in fact. Hopefully, ESPN will do better tonight. Oh wait. It's Joe Morgan again. Maybe he'll tell us how the Sox used to dominate teams at U.S. Cellular Field in the sixties.
- Memo to Bud Selig: After you get rid of the maple bats, please do something about the aggressive umpires. There is no excuse for this, ever. (Babes Love Baseball)
- Derrick Rose throws out the first pitch at Friday's Sox game. Then does an interview with D.J. that would have made you squirm. One more thing kid. Stay away from motorcycles.
- How in the hell does this happen?
- This ought to sell a few more cartons of Marlboros.
- Soccer? You are quitting a perfectly good job for soccer? Voluntarily. Please, get help.
- First Tim Russert, Then, George Carlin. Now this.
- You know what sucks? If a woman, is, in actuality, a bitch, you cannot say that publicly without being assailed in the press and then having to have a come to Jesus meeting with a she male. Justin Gimelstob trained with Anna Kournikova. Just another example of how the Internet has changed everything and how the media controls public opinion. The only way to make it stop is to "apologize."
- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
- Before Rick Hendrick fired Casey Mears, I hope he thought about the last guy he fired.
- Although Denny Hamlin looks good, I like Jeff Gordon today in New Hampshire.
- The thing about the Shawn Chacon situationthat I find the most interesting is that people aren't necessarily running to the defense of Astros GM Ed Wade. That is very telling. All of us have had an obnoxious, know it all boss we wanted to choke at one time or another. There is one in particular I should have. (Biz of Baseball)
- SSN takes a look at the Chairman. (Serious Sports Network)
- EDSBS is hysterically sorry. (Every Day Should Be Saturday)
- Here's something White Sox fans would welcome. (Serious Sports Network)
- If this doesn't get turned in to an episode of Law and Order, nothing will.
- This is why we will never do anything about illegal immigration in this country. Especially if Mr. Obama is correct.
- Today's list: Twenty interesting cartoon voices. Is it just me or does everyone miss Mel Blanc?
