    The Paul-eee chant

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    When you're at the game, it's fun to chant and do other stupid s***.

     

    I was at a Bears game earlier this year and some woman in front of me went off when the PA guy said "There's a timeout" and the crowd goes "Where" and the PA guy says "On the field" and the crowd goes "Ohhhhhh." This lady thought it was the stupidest s*** ever and couldn't believe anyone in their right mind would play along.

     

    Sheesh, sports is supposed to be fun.

    Tim Wakefield is a clown

    All the other Red Sox admitted that it was the White Sox who were the better team and who more importantly played better. Too bad Wakefield couldn't own up like his teammates. They won the series last year; they know what it takes, and the White Sox did it, the Red did not.

    I f***in saw the tickets that I was gonna get....i had game 1 box 110 f***in row 10 lined up, and when I tried to continue to pay, I got the proxy error. What a joke....you'd think they have a f***in hamster running on a wheel or something at Ticket master's headquarters.

    Hardball Times Recap

    That was a good write up, but when he writes that Pods' steal of third was unnecessary or that Iguchi's bunt was a waste, he fails to recognize that each of those events was another contributor to Clement's meltdown. For instance, Iguchi's bunt closed the possibility of a double play erasing Podsednik, which mighta bailed Clement out of that first and maybe even the game then. It wasn't hte key play of the game, but it was a good one I thought.

     

    Also, he wrote that if AJ hadn't put the Sox up, someone else would've....at that point in the game, somebody else had - we were up 2-0.

    ABC News in Chicago just reported that tickets are going for as high as $800 +

     

    I had also heard a report earlier today that club seats were going for $350 for individual seats.

     

    Is this actually true ?

     

    People hearing similar things ?

     

    Go Sox!

     

    I thought tomorrow was Pepsi Two-for-one Tuesday. I was gonna sit in the UD for $8.

    Mariotti chokes us again

    Well of course Mariotti would finally wait till today to submit the 6th straight article about the sox choking.  Yes i did say I would bet 50 bucks that he would write about the bears instead of a 3 game winning streak by the sox on monday.  The good news is this means we will be winning today because I've broke it down. Mariotti started his choke pieces on Sep 1. and for the month so far he has written 8 pieces on the sox with possibly only Sep 8th article on konerko not a total rip job. so here are the dates he wrote about us choking and what happened that day

     

    Sep 1. W - start of 7 game winning streak

    Sep 15. L

    Sep 18. W

    Sep 20. W

    Sep 22. L - won next 3

    sep 25. W

     

    So what can I say Jay. THANKS we really needed this game today and you all but gauranteed it, thank you. 

     

    Also am I confident about our chances to win it all.. not really.  But i don't think many fans of the angels or marlins really thought they were gonna take it all.  Does the team with the best record in the AL REALLY deserve 7 depressing articles about a team not really clicking while another team plays .700+ ball.. not really.  The sox do have a better record than the two east teams that mariotti continually slurps b/c they pay 150 million plus.  And really even with the sox losing yesterday I'm still way more confident than a week ago.

     

    Finally Jay, Brandon Inge is a pretty freakin good player. actually he's quite good and a favorite of Peter Gammons. He is young and plays like 5 positions very well, and most teams would love to have him.

     

    And yes I KNOW that alot of what he says bears some truth. no doubt about it.  But seriously if you want to be the NUMBER 1 BIGSHOT writer in chicago please don't continually write articles that basically are looking like he has a Word Template made for them.  Write something original please and if the sox do clinch soon I want 1 damn article that says.. hey good job guys for hangin in there and lets just see what happens, and also thanks for year that didn't suck by the month after the all star game.

     

    God he's annoying, but Jay, thanks for the win today

     

    Inge always plays well against us too. There's a reason this guy is in the big leagues. The way Mariotti tells it, he's got no right to even think about hitting two home runs. What an asshole sports writer Mariotti is to demean a pro athlete like that. Maybe he's jealous. What a dick.

    Stupid question

    So I guess this is what makes Buehrle soooo good?

     

    Buerhle's cut fastball sets everything else up I think. He had been struggling the last few weeks, and it was very noticeable his cut fastball wasn't jamming right-handers. He had to go to other pitches such as his change, which he wasn't throwing particularly well either. If he is throwing well, he can leverage his cutter to attack the outside corner with change-ups and the occasional breaking ball and then he is dynamite.

    This may sound like a daft question to all you long time baseball fans but as I'm still coming to terms with the intricasies of the game I hope someone can help.

     

    In a recent newspaper article, A.J. Pierzynski was talking about how Buerhle had "constantly jammed the Twins with his cut fastball." He went on to say how this "opened up the outside corner later."

     

    My question is, what did he mean by this and why is it a good thing? I know what the outside corner is but how does a cut fastball open up the outside corner?

     

    When Buehrle throws his good cut fastball, it looks just like a fastball that's heading right down the middle of the plate, but to right-handers, it "cuts" inside at the last second, therefore jamming the batters - causing them to hit the ball closer to the handle rather than on the sweet spot. To lefties, it has the opposite movement - it cuts away from them causing them to hit it off the end of the bat.

     

    When Buehrle is throwing a good cut fastball, batters must be paranoid about it, so they look inside all the time and back off the plate. They simply cannot do this and cover the outside corner as well. In other words, they are f***ed. :britishflag:

    Attendance.

    Hawk said that this year's attendance ranked 4th in the history of the park, I think, perhaps White Sox history period. Either way, that number is a little distorted because of the 8 or so thousand seats they removed at the top of the upper deck. Given the 18 sell-outs at the Cell this year, the Sox mighta drawn around another 140 thousand if those seats were there.

     

    I went to 23 games this year and have tickets for one more....ALDS game 2, so I did my part.
