QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 11:07 AM) Agreed. When Betty becomes tolerable and someone has a redeaming quality at the end, it is interesting. Don rejecting a One Night Stand? WTF? I used to look up to that man. I think he's trying to change his ways, thinking there might be a future with the doctor. Don has come across as quite an ass in a few episodes. Then last week's episode started showing a change.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 10:32 AM) We're one episode in... I don't know why I thought it was two episodes already. Anyway, I like the way this one has kicked off.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 09:25 AM) I find myself getting excited for Tuesday nights now. I can't recall the last time a show had me looking forward to it as much as SOA does. It has started off great. Best season so far.

I'll take the Ravens.

Big, huge series starts tomorrow. The best the Sox can be afterwards is 3 out, which wouldn't be horrible. But being 9 out would pretty much wrap up the season.

I feel old now.

Another great episode of Mad Men last night. This may the best season yet.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) My eyes tell me Konerko is a damn good first baseman, stats be damned. I agree. He can pick throws out of the dirt (and he gets plenty of those) better than most. His range is limited, but to me it doesn't seem to adversely affect him too much.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) They will be frightened of us next year if we do well in this series. They may even talk to MLB officials to have the schedule changed to where they play KC and Cleveland more instead of facing us.

37. Feel like 27 some days, 47 other days.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 09:33 AM) Also, how often do you see the umpire make a pitcher remove a bracelet or a necklace? Yes, it happens from time to time, but was it just coincidence that they made Putz remove his bracelet in the eighth and Sale his necklace in the ninth last night? Or can it be that this crew is just looking for anything they can find to call on the Sox? I believe it's the latter. Supposedly Reinsdorf is buddies with Selig. It's time for JR to make a phone call. There's no doubt that umpire crew has something against Ozzie and/or the Sox. And, to make matters worse, they are childish about it. The phantom balks are one thing, but the necklace and bracelet thing is another. I find it humorous how most of the national media just says that Buehrle was called for two balks, instead of analyzing it and showing that there were no balks. I'm sure if Andy Pettite was called for two balks ESPN would have a 1/2 hour special on it.

Ozzie had every right to explode on this umpire crew. Someone has to realize that something is up when a guy who almost never balks gets called for four balks in two games...when both games were umpired by the same crew. It doesn't take a keen sense to realize that the crew has it out for Ozzie and the Sox.

If he's 98 lbs and throwing 100, he'll either slow down as he puts on weight or he'll end up knocking out catchers.

Huge win. AJ comes through when we needed him. Morel with his first hit (a HR!). Joe West and his crew being assholes. Five back. Let's get 'em again tomorrow and root for Cleveland.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 09:36 PM) AJ coming on strong late in the season during a pennant race. He's got a lot left in the tank. I hope he's back next year. I agree.

The Sox beat the Royals and Joe West's umpiring crew.

Ova!

Calm down.

How can that skinny kid throw that hard?

That's okay. Let's get the out, Chris.

2!

I wasn't paying attention to his velocity. Is he letting it fly?

Two more, Chris.

One!
