Milkman delivers

I just took about a 4-hour nap. I dreamed that the Sox cut Erstad. I am not kidding.

Hours later, it's still pretty surreal.

On April 18, 2007, Buerhle no-hit the Texas Rangers at U.S. Cellular Field, the first no-hitter in the stadium's history. It was the sixteenth such game in team history and the first since Wilson Alvarez threw one in 1991. He actually faced the minimum number of batters, walking Sammy Sosa but picking him off the base for an out. It was the first no-hitter by a White Sox pitcher at home since Joe Horlen on September 10, 1967. Buehrle struck out eight Rangers during the game. I love how fast people update wikipedia.

Anybody else out of the area and pretty angry at ESPN for not breaking in? OK, I'm not angry because I'm way too pumped right now. This adrenaline rush is insane. Still would've liked to have seen it, though.

Had to follow on gameday because ESPN wouldn't break in. That's pathetic. This was awesome anyway. I haven't shaken that much since October of 2005.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

Dollar Menunaire commercials absolutely suck. The anti-smoking ones are even worse. Skittles commercials make no sense whatsoever, but they're hilarious and they get a pass.

For being.........ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:18 PM) I have very strong feelings against anyone who calls themself a diehard Sox fan and went to bed before that game was over. I question your fanhood if you didn't develop an ulcer as a direct result of that game.

Just in case any of you watch Smackdown, unlike me, here's a spoiler for Friday: Deuce and Domino win the tag belts. I've only seen these guys once, and I can't emphasize how f***ing stupid their gimmick is, nor can I emphasize how terrible wrestling is today.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 11:50 AM) Sorry man, had no choice. No need to apologize. I completely understand.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 11:27 AM) Ventura's set for life and enjoys spending time with his family, and he doesn't really enjoy the limelight. Wasn't that the problem with him not wanting a radio or TV job with the White Sox? I'd hardly call hitting coach a limelight position.

Game over

Game over

I f***ing hate you, Joe Crede

Once again, real happy Crede won't be on this team in the long run.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 08:59 PM) There's a little arrogance with our front office, and we feel that our coaching staff can make anyone into a championship caliber player. I definitely get that vibe. I can understand Ozzie having immunity for winning in 2005. I really can see that. But, why do Walker and Cora get free passes?

YAYYYYYYYY

QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) tim raines? Pretty sure he left of his own accord. I'm saying they'll trade away (or let walk) so many of the players, but they refuse to fire any of the coaches.

Now honestly, Greg Walker's job should be hanging by a string. We've lost almost about half the players from the 2005 team, why not someone on the coaching staff?

As of right now, we must have the worst leadoff hitter in the majors. In fact, we might have the worst leadoff hitter I've ever seen in my life.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 08:29 PM) At least they made him throw over 20 pitches. And they decide to hurry the game up after that.

QUOTE(Grindersrule @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) Ozzie on the pregame talking about an Ozuna / Mack platoon. No mention of the commie. I can honestly learn to deal with that one, as that's what I was calling for a lot of last year.
