Middle Buffalo

I like to switch things up from time to time, so last year I started humming “Staying Alive” in my head when I brush my teeth, and I hum “Happy Birthday” when I come across someone who needs chest compressions. I’ve lost a few people doing this, but my teeth have never looked better.

I thought I recognized you. Black cowboy hat on chest. Feet up on the dashboard.

What compels the guy in the middle lane to speed up when I’m trying to pass him on the left? I’m passing you because you’re driving too slow. If I wanted you to speed up, I’d be riding your bumper, dumbass.

Someone’s been drinking the haterade.

I think Getz is trying to win the “Most Roster Moves Award” at the next ESPYs. Quantity > Quality is the Reinsdorf coat of arms.

I’m not a doctor, but I live in AZ, so I’m pretty familiar with the Sox rehab process. To gauge running at 80%, they have the injured guy race local hero, Paul Konerko. If it’s close, injured guy is 80%.

To be fair, almost every signature call is contrived. Very few calls are spontaneous, and when they are spontaneous, they eventually become the signature call.

I have to say, I think he’s pretty good. He’s a little corny, but he’s got a good voice (not the cookie cutter announcer voice most young guys seem to have). He recognizes hard hit balls. I don’t even mind SS Stand Up. Not much different from John Rooney’s “and that’s a white sox winner!” I think he’ll grow out of some of the annoying tendencies he has, but a month in, I kinda like him.

I’ll go with 1983. 7 Starters in their first 8 picks. It’s too bad they didn’t pick Marino instead of Gault, but they had McMahon in his 2nd year. Covert, Gault, Mike Richardson, Duerson, Thayer, Dent, Bortz all major contributors for years. 2 HOF.

I actually feel bad for the fans of other teams who have to watch the Sox when they play us. It’s embarrassing.

If White Sox baseball was a science fair project… Question - why are the Sox unable to hit or score runs? Hypothesis- the opponent keeps the baseballs they pitch to our team in a humidor.

When questioned after Saturday’s loss to the Phillies what he thought of his team’s execution, Grifol opined, “I would not be in favor of it. Just flush this one and get ready for Sunday.”

Or wound up trapped in the netting…or got himself hung up on the outfield wall…

I’m not a big Dave Matthews Band fan, but I saw them last month at the Innings Fest in Tempe, and they were great. Great band - can play anything. Dave is a really good frontman. I saw them 25 years ago in Chicago, and they’re still getting it done.

That may be the smallest crowd I’ve seen at a Sox game. They should bring back the Covid cutouts.
