This is the most insightful piece I have read in some time. I don't think we need to sign Nomar to do a bobblehead night for him though, the marketing guys could just slap his head in a White Sox uniform; that way Pods wouldn't get upset about it.

Anyone else here that LT guy talking about how Thome should lay down a bunt? Entertaining radio.

Hey guys look it's the offense!

I am trying to get all my Homework and s*** done before gametime, so they better make it a White Sox winner to make this hard work worth something other than the grades I will receive for it.

At least nobody appears to be running away with the Central yet?

But he's got 9 lives at 1st base! What a grinder.

Lillibridge is my dude.

Can Getz play Center?

Let's go Quentin! Get something done here!

Happy we won. Furious I only got to see the part where we didn't produce any offense thanks to MLB.TV.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ May 1, 2009 -> 09:25 PM) Explain, are you listening online for free? No, gameday audio comes with MLB.TV but that's the only part working right now.

f***ING MLB.TV Video just decides to stop working. Problem started at the Thome at-bat. So I watched 6 innings of no hit ball and miss all the f***ing offense. This s*** is ridiculous. At least The Score audio is working.

If we could get him cheap, sure why not. But there's a ton of teams that will probably look at him before us. Angels anyone?

QUOTE (YASNY @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 03:27 PM) Agreed. And the Halliday vs. Contreras game against the Jays doesn't look too promising. Add in the fact that the Jays are relatively hot right now ... we could be wishing we were back in Tampa. The last time they met both men had complete game efforts. Anyhow, I hope Colon is hungry for some orange birds.

:gosox1: :gosox1: Posting from my new DS-i as I watch the game. Good to see Fields go long!

I like the idea of a novelty shirt based on Quentin, but this doesn't really do it for me.

I still don't know how I feel about Swisher. I bought a Dirty Thirty shirt from NickSwisher.Net for crying out loud. On the Yankees where the team has no personality, I can see where Swish would be loved by his teammates; but we'll see how that rolls when he's not tearing things up. Here his locker room routine was instantly challenged by Joe Crede. I want a book on the 2008 team, what an oddball clubhouse it must've been with Swish, O Cab and the Pie Man Tobey Hall.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 03:43 PM) Don't look now, but we've hit the s*** out of the Rays in this series. This. I like how we've done it without the everyday line up too. Good to see Lillibridge, Getz and BA step up.

Awesome game, especially after the heartbreaker last night. The all righty line up must've gotten in Kazmir's head!

I've often thought about getting an Erstad Sox jeresy.

I say they both wear it

I just want to weigh in real quick. I was SHOCKED when Wise started getting booed, but I wasn't exactly astounded that it happened.... I wasn't happy with him playing center or leading off due to the fact his defense isn't stellar and his OBP and career stats don't scream lead-off. But I realized that Ozzie preferred a speedy lead off man in CF; and Wise had a great spring and was clutch down the stretch last year. Who wasn't on board with the one night only "Rally D.Weezy"? at thet time?! Obviously though everyone could see that he had no place being the everyday lead-off hitter coming into the season. Anyway, I rolled my eyes at his start watching from home but for the fans to boo at the stadium, I was really legit surprised. I guess I understood it, I mean I felt them from my couch. I was just very surprised it translated in the stadium; where I try and be the ultimate optimist. I've only read 3 of the first 11 pages but I just want to comment that SouthsideDon48 I understand your perspective on subconscious biases and white dominance perhaps subconsciously affecting how some fans might feel about players. It's an interesting point to bring up; but I think racial bias isn't as present in fandom as in other aspects of society due to the fact that most fans care about the team and will equally love all players that contribute to their team; despite which players they may "relate" more to.

Damn it, the one day of the week I can catch day games.

SCOTTY. PODS. Guess I was on to something when I bought a Scott Podsednik Sliding into Second Calling for Time Action Tigure from Toys R Us recently.
