Tonight's game will be hard pressed to be uglier than last night's. I predict a slugging match. The green monster will get a workout. White Sox 10 - Red Sox 7...6 of Boston's 7 runs will occur before the end of the 5th.

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 10:18 AM) too many to count (over 25) How many meetings have you missed because you fgorgot to enter tyhem in your calendar? ?gotta run A few. How many times have you fallen asleep at work?

This is from official MLB rules: Example: Not a force out. One out. Runner on first and third. Batter flies out. Two out. Runner on third tags up and scores. Runner on first tries to retouch before throw from fielder reaches first baseman, but does not get back in time and is out. Three outs. If, in umpire’s judgment, the runner from third touched home before the ball was held at first base, the run counts. So, by reading this, the run would count.

Without looking it up, I would say no. The defense would only have to touch second, and the runner is out. It's not like he was caught in a run down.

I'm sorry if I missed it (and I probably did), but is there a confirmation that Peavy will pitch Saturday? All I've read this morning is that he had a good outing but has a nasty bruise on his elbow.

Win or lose, I hope the ugly inning doesn't set the tone for the road trip.

I was so angry my ears were ringing for a while. I've calmed down a bit, but that one play...pick up the ball...

But he could also whore himself out to 50 really fat chicks for $1000 each. Could be a lucrative road trip.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 11:25 AM) Alexei needs to grow an enormous mustache before I can make this comparison.

I agree that we haven't seen Alexei long enough there, but you can't help but be a little critical of his play. Valentin wasn't a superstar there either. If you compare what we saw of Jose and what we've seen of Alexei so far, I'd give the reluctant nod to Jose.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 11:09 AM) There's no way to not be terrified Unless yr just looking towards 2010 with Beckham/Peavy for a full year. And Rios...at least we won't be constantly wondering about who's going to play CF.

Hell, yeah I'm scared of the next 20 games. But, I'm sure Tiger fans feel the same way. Both teams have been trying to give the other team the division and so one wants it. I think, however, that the next 10 games may tell the tale. If the Sox man up against Boston, NY, and MN, and the Tigers continue to play the way they have been, the division should belong to the Sox.

Sam Adams sells a four-pack of glasses that are designed to get the most flavor out of a beer. The shape allows the brew to breath not be warmed by your hand. There are also etchings on the bottom to create a constant stream of bubbles. I was skeptical until my dad bought me the glasses. They actually work.

35% German, 30% Irish, and some Polish, Welsh, and Dutch My wife is mostly Italian with some German and Irish. So, our kids have bad tempers and talk with their hands.

The Sox have played tough teams fairly well...in spurts. This road trip will probably be no exception. I would like to think they could go 7-3 or better, but I chose 6-4. If the road trip ends with the Sox 2 games or less out of first, it'll be good.

We'll only be on BBTN first if Boston wins.

I think some of the funniest moments were with Curly, but I found Shemp to be one of my favorites. Interesting fact was that he was one of the originals, along with Moe and Larry. He left to do some solo stuff but eventually came back when Curly's health started failing. Curly's life was pretty sad, reading about it. He was very self-conscious about his appearance, his shaved head and baby-face looks being perfect for the Stooges. He began drinking heavily, was married and divorced several times, and started suffering a series of strokes.

Numbers?

So, I was bored recently and did a lot of reading on-line about the Three Stooges. Actually learned a lot I didn't know. So, who's your favorite stooge? Who is your least favorite? Have any trivia nuggest about the Stooges?

Pants?

It was at least a turn in the road. Let's hope it's a turn in the right direction.

Now I don't feel too old. My daughter starts 3rd grade, my sons starts 1st, and my youngest daughter starts pre-school.
