Random Shots: White Sox Keeping Cardiologists Busy
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Blue Moon Odom:
Two walk off wins in two days. Last night, the Sox win in the bottom of the tenth on a home run by A.J. Pierzynski. The only weakness this club has had all season long was the ability to win close games with clutch hits in the later innings. At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, if they start doing that, they will win the division and perhaps more.- I'm not worried about the Sox without Paul Konerko. I am a bit concerned about the Sox without Bobby Jenks.
- The A's can pitch, but their hitting is not very good and they are further hampered by injuries, especially the one to third baseman Eric Chavez. Still, they won't roll over easy this weekend. The trick is getting into their pen.
- This story makes no sense. Why would the Sox want or need C.C. Sabathia? Why would they want to stock the Indians minor league system to be used against them in a couple of years? If the Sox need anything, it's a center fielder or a couple of bench players and they don't even need that right now. Besides, no team in baseball could afford to feed Sabathia and Bobby Jenks on the same roster.
- If Brett Favre seriously wants to come back, he'll screw the Packers up more than he will help them. This could be a fascinating soap opera. Ted Thompson, the Packers GM is handling the situation correctly but if Favre forces his hand by demanding a trade, look for Thompson to take heat not only from fans but from the entire state who worships Favre. Stay tuned.
- It looks like the National League has finally caught up with Kosuke Fukudome the same way the American league has caught up with Carlos Quentin. (Goat Riders of the Apocalypse)
- Why do people refuse to take the Twinkies seriously? (Bard's Room)
- Oscar Villarreal got sent out by the Astros. You wonder if GM Ed Wade had armed guards at that meeting. (MLB Trade Rumors)
- The history of White Sox uniforms. I love the current home pinstripes, but for some reason, I am Jonesing the 1970's red unis. Anything is better than the softball unis of the late 70's or the clown suits of the early 80's. (via Sox machine)
- We're the Chicago Bears and we believe our division is so weak this year that we can win with unproven players. Yeah, good luck with that. The NFL is a little tougher than Conference U.S.A. For that matter, so is the Arena League.
- You can think what you want about a certain basketball coach, but none of this stuff went on when he was a Indiana. Ever. And what is it about being President of IU that makes you do and say stupid things? (Rumors and Rants)
- Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. A-Rod like hanging out with musicians. Can't wait for Hank's take.
- Where I come from, it's not unlawful termination when you try to strangle your boss...no matter how big an ass he is. If no one would lose their job for strangling their bosses, don't you think everyone would do it?
- If Dollar Bill Wirtz weren't dead, this would have certainly killed him. (Rumors and Rants)
- On behalf of Ashley Judd fans everywhere, please fix this.
- I could so see this happening(Serious Sports Network)
