Q & A with Tom Collaro

In Search of White Sox blogs
On the off day, I did some crappy examination of stats for both the Sox and the farm teams. Kind of amateurish, but it is what it is. http://southsideadventures.blogspot.com/

Iguchi adjusting well to American baseball...
Iguchi struck out 3 times in 4 at bats last night. The one that I saw, it only took four pitches. Awful , just awful.

Iguchi adjusting well to American baseball...
uh, I disagree... Like a lot of foreign players, he has no plate discipline - he swings at everything. Look at Dominician Tejada when he was with the A's. http://southsideadventures.blogspot.com/

Saul Bellow
The Adventures of Augie March is accessable and one of my all time favorite books. Bellow was dense, but a palya and a banga til the end. A 5 year old kid? At 89? That's Hefner-like, rock star! Lets see P Diddy do that!

Ozuna
I think the obvious - Pablo Ozuna has really made a case that he should be brought north with the Sox in April, instead of Wilson Valdez (or possibly Willie Harris at this point). Take a look at this: Last season with Scranton Wilkes-Barre (AAA Internaional League) in 126 games, 472 AB, .307/.415/.344. 76 RBIs, 31 SB in 43 attempts. He also had 27 doubles, 3 triples, 6 homers 22 walks, 77 runs, 196 TB. He struck out 43 times and committed 15 errors splitting his time evenly between 2B and SS. This Winter - In the Dominican League with Estrellas Del Oriente (which roughly translates to "Stars of the Orient"), he played in all 46 games, batted .344/.470/.378, was 24 for 24 in stolen bases, 3 homers, 3 triples, 18 RBIs in the regular season. In the post season, he played all 18 games, and had 18 hits, .254/.324/.284, 3 SB, 7 RBIs. Kinda makes ya wonder how this guys has quietly slipped thru the cracks. This Spring - with the Sox, thru thursday, he's hitting .553 in 38 AB, and is the team leader with 21 hits. Just a week ago he was hitting .462! Only 1 SB in 4 attempts, but his speed suggests he'll improve. He's also got 27 TB, 6 RBIs, a triple, 4 doubles and 8 runs scored. What a workhorse. Does he ever take a month off? Oddly, these stats suggest he is getting better the more he plays. If this trend continues, I predict that by August, he'll have grown into a 30 foot giant and shatter every hitting record in major league history. OK, maybe not, but I bet he'll out hit Timo Perez and Alverez. I didn't quote the stats for Alverez or Harris in the above comparison, because they're not even close. Plus, Ozuna can play just about any position. Hear that KW and Ozzie? Barring a collaspe in the final week Ozuna needs to be on that roster when the Sox return to 35th and Shields on April 4.

General Admission at the Vic
Rob Thomas? You might be the only one there, so I don't think it should be a problem. You'd have to pay me to see freakin Rob Thomas. That said, I don't think the Vic is nearly as good a place to see a show as the Metro or the slightly larger Riv. Luckily, after going to shows in Chicago for 20 years, I've been mostly able to avoid the Vic - the only two shows I've ever seen there were the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in 1994 (rocked) and the Finn Bros last year (sucked).

Sex
Sounds like all you, uh, guys, are just a bit sexually repressed. Maybe you're not comfortable with your own sexuality? Being bitter in your 20s cause you're not gettin any is normal. Just save it up for that special lady you marry. See you in church!
