YASNY

Nothing personal, man. It's just that I'd personally like to forget about the corpseball era and look ahead to some exciting White Sox baseball.

Did you happen to those guys in the Sox uniforms that came in from the bullpen? Joking. I hope you're right.

He better. We don't need to go into New York down 0-2. Especially with Tampa Bay pissing off the Yankees so far.

Ummmm. Who, exactly, did Politte face twice?

To be Honest, I wasn't aware the Politte was a one inning pitcher. Is this based on the two walks after an inning and a third pitched, or is there some history behind this?

Barry faces the Rocket tonight. Does Barry tie the Say-Hey Kid off of his fellow future HOF'er? Does Barry crowd the plate as always against Clemens? Will Roger dust his ass if he does? Should be an interesting matchup. Ya gotta love baseball!!!!

I think Ozzie's only mistake, and it's only my opinion, was he pulled Buehrle to soon.

Mauer and Santana. Wow. Potentially disasterous for the Twins.

Ah, I wish I could join you wonderful folks on opening day. I am going to see the Sox vs. Rangers at the Ballpark in Arlington in *GASP* July! Shouldn't have to worry about getting chilled then. I'm still also hoping to score a couple of tickets to the Cub series .... and any help will be greatly appreciated.

No, Ozzie didn't panic. He had a choice, Koch vs. Stairs or Marte vs. Stairs or any other matchup the Pena wanted. It makes sense to me.

Ladies and Gentleman, you have just seen a masterful performance. Our man Rex so eloquently and smoothly deflected several verbal jousts and did so with dignity, style and grace. Rex .... YOU DA MAN!!!!!!

I'll tell you what, that is a sorry looking selection. Can I vote for our next owner?

I voted other. The only problem is that Eck, Gossage, Fingers, Wilhelm, Sutter are all retired and Billy Wagner's in Philly.

*Yawn*

I had to go with El Senor'. Lopez consistently did more with less. I can't judge a manager that was around before my time.

After a defeat, drink to drown your sorrows. After a win, drink to celebrate your victory!

By the end of the month, we'll know which Billy Koch we have. Until then, it's all speculation and guess work on everybody's part.

More Corpseball. Gaston has proven he can manage a WS Champ, but his demeanor was too similar to JM for this team. IMHO

I'm going to break this down and address each point. 1. Not firing JM. Agreed. JM should have been canned in late May or about the time the Sox promoted Walker. However, the club did turn around and temporarily saved his job. That was a lucky break for JM. 2. Koch. How could Kenny foresee Koch would lose his heater? He had it in Arizona in 2003. On the surface, the Koch/Foulke trade looked like a prudent move at the time, considering Foulke was on the free agent exit ramp. 3. Which Berry/Barry is which and what was the other one done? This is a non-issue in my book. Rookie mistake that had no negative consequences. 4. Konerko. Overpaid, yes. But if he hits like we all know he can, not by much. 5. Clayton. A huge mistake any way you look at it. 6. Mid-season trades. If KW did nothing and we lost by 4 games, it would be because he didn't do anything. He tried. It didn't work. I give him credit for going for it and don't begrudge those trades one iota.

Chief Wahoo is demeaning to American Indians and therefore racist, as opposed to the Blackhawks which symbolizes dignity and respect. The old English "D" on the Tiger's uniform is classic, as are the SOX and the Yanks "NY". I hope they never change. I still like the redbirds sitting on the bat in St. Louis, and that old Colt 45's logo is great. I also like San Diego's new logo and color scheme. It represents the city very well. Cubs logo is not worth discussing. It just sucks.

I can't believe someone recycled the term Corpse ball after this game. We had a successful hit and run, a *cough* stolen base and a successful sacrifice bunt. Corpse ball is definitely out of place.

The worse thing about today's loss is that we a "1" in the loss column.

In fact, Politte looked damn good. Wicked even.

Two words: No Class

You can say what you want to, failed hit and run or whatever, but Paulie got a good jump and stole that base.
