There is something very gay about the Sox fat trainer spraying the fat umpire with water.

a. It went on forever.

b. Herm Shneider seemed to be enjoying it a little too much for my comfort level. The umpire too.

If it's me, I'm handing the ump the bottle and having him do it himself. I'm certainly not drying him off either. I'll hand him the towel too.

i know, that's why i'm surprised it is in this slot. i thought for sure we were getting the yanks/angels or even the brewers game because of the market.

i didn't look at the schedule so it's kind of off the cuff, i didn't think this game would be played until tonight.

This game sucks. It's one thing if you're gonna lose to the fuckin' Royals. That can happen. It's another thing to be dominated by them. That sucks.

If we can't pull it out today then you can't fuckin' lose tomorrow. No fuckin' way you can lose 2 out of 3 to this shit team.

Anybody have an update on Griffey? These FOX fuckers don't inform you of shit. Anything said on the radio?

haven't heard anything but god fox is really bad. i mean, really really bad.

fox and football are fine. fox and baseball...blech. no.

Yeah. I know that's Kenny Albert. I have no idea who the other ass hole is.

i was thinking that too, like who is this clown? i recognized albert's voice. this has got to be the D booth. But it's not like the C-A booth is that great.

Well at least Anderson and Dye are making it a game.

Lee Mazone.

They said leg cramps.

I think Leo Mazzone's pretty good.

thanks BD.

good inning by the sox in the 8th. i can see them winning 9-8.

All of a sudden, that Griffey sucks at defense run looks rather important.

They've done a hell of a job to fight back, only one more run to go. Sometimes closers suck in their second inning. Unfortunately, Quentin and Griffey are both out of the line-up.

Unfortunately, you might be right. To bad you didn't specify which "they".

Look at this shit. Ozzie pulled his 1,2,3 hitter cuz he thought it was over. Now they are due up in the 9th down 1 run. Well, Anderson hit a homer in Quentin's spot so you can't bitch too much.

You've got Swisher to pinch hit in the 9th.

Fuck this. HOMER ROYALS. 2 run game now.

Sox 'pen has been really bad. I think Kenny fucked up not getting someone.

yeah right? WTF? KC FTW????

there is still a chance, but goddamn what the hell...the royals scoring 9? jesus...

I'm holding out hope that Soria will come out and get beat up in the 9th, after closing out the 8th. I'd be interested in knowing how closers perform after coming on before the 9th inning....It seems, to me, that struggle some.

May Junior can give the relief pitchers some pointers on the bench.

Sorry, the more I think about this trade the more I hate it. I think it was Williams going after his prize from 2005 more than smart baseball acumen. I'm going to sound like a broken record for a while.

Now your top of the order, coming up in the 9th, is Fields, Wise, and Anderson.

Don't give up so soon Ozzie.

For the record: there is no female on that Sex in the City-esque cell phone commercial that I wouldn't do, but I want it to go away.

The trade has no down side. It's very likely it doesn't have an up side either. It just cost the Sox some money. I don't care about that.

Not very optmisitic - Josh Fields, DeWayne Wise, and Brian Anderson due up.

Paul Byrd (5-10, 4.93 ERA)
VS
Kevin Slowey (7-7, 4.00 ERA)

2nd place White Sox after tonight?

It may cost you games in center field. It may cost you THIS game in center field.

that commercial is such a waste of a comic gold mine. but you're right, the chicks are hot.

hmmmmmm...not the end of the world. but kind of irritating.

This second half has been shit so far. 2003 all over again.

this was a dumb. ass. game.

This was a fucked up game. Yeah, Irish Boy, Griffey might have cost us today. We also got screwed by the umps when they should have called a double play on that liner. Cost us 2 runs. Should have been out of that inning.

Let's not forget the main reason we lost today. Buehrle.
