OK, so lets get all of the Wise-cracks out of the way now...

I've actually heard that the reason Wise wasn't the one DFA'd is because Slayer will be using him as his bat.

So are we guessing Beckham will be #6? Or did they announce something yet?

 

He's wearing 15.

We should all listen to Ozzie. When Wise comes up, everyone in the stands should stand up and turn their backs to the field.

Hopefully they get him the no. 6 jersey soon...

 

However, with the no. 6 jersey, you have to contend with the ghost of Charley Lau... on the other hand though, that might be a good thing, since Lau was a great hitting coach. hmmmm...

 

But you definitely don't want 15, that's the curse of the Betemit.

Eh, Anderson asked out of the game yesterday, Wise playing today is expected and tolerable. The more at bats he gets while Anderson is sick, the fewer he'll need while Anderson is healthy to prove that he should be DFA'd.

Gordon Beckham doesn't believe in curses. He eats them for breakfast.

With his Pillios?

The Tadahito Iguchi legacy overrides the Wilson Betemit "I can't field groundballs" curse.

Time to split this 4 game set. Afterall the Slayer is in town!!!

 

Love the game thread title!!!

So guys, in yesterdays softball game I ended up playing 2nd the last couple innings (odd feat given I'm a lefty). But I started two DP's and turned another (boy was that tough). So I've decided the Sox should call me up. My defensive play will be legendary.

Merle Haggard is some good s***. I think my favorite song of his is White Line Fever.

 

Yes it is. My current favorite is "Huntsville" along with long time favorite, "Footlights"

Kinda like the Legend of Wilson Betemit?

Niiiice.

So, who is going to buy me a beer at the game?

your credit card bank

Ahhh nothing like DeWayne Wise protecting you in the lineup of your first major league game!!!

I'm going to do my best to turn this game on at work in some manner, although I doubt I'll be able to pay much attention... just wanna see the first at bat at least!

Less than an hour until detonation of the Slayer bomb

Welcome Slayer ............Fields days are numbered in a Sox uniform!

Beckham 2-4 HR 2RBI's

 

Solid Defense at third, with at least one "good" play. (Not like a webgem or anything, but something where you'd think to yourself "Josh probably would have f***ed that up")

Merle Haggard is some good s***. I think my favorite song of his is White Line Fever.

 

 

I sure like his music. I think he sand a song called "America" too and I thought that was real special

Beckham didn't sleep last night? That's not good.

Slayer just announced the name of their new album... coincidence?

Beckham didn't sleep last night? That's not good.

Jimmy "Insomniac" Kowalksi never slept and he had a .289 career batting avg.

Beckham didn't sleep last night? That's not good.

Adrenaline will get him through today. It will catch up to him tomorrow. Can't blame the young man. Some of us couldn't sleep last night after hearing the news!

 

Short term prediction: 1-4 with a mental mistake at 3b causing most of Soxtalk to turn against him and demand KW be fired for rushing him.

Long term prediction: .300 lifetime hitter, ten all-star appearances, and 5 White Sox World Series Rings. Dream Big.
