back-2-back

SOX WIN!!! SOX WIN!!! we took the lead early on an aj pierzynski solo homerun, and almost lost it early after gavin floyd and his BHB gave up 3 runs in the 4th. however, we roared back to tie the game up in the 7th with some small-ball, meaning that speedy little alexei is getting back in the groove by hitting some singles and stealing some bases.

but in the 7th, we broke it wide open when my boy carlos hit his 8th homerun to break the 3-3 tie (you shoulda heard me screaming and cheering. i coulda broke some windows!), then right after that, jd comes up and hits a solo homerun himself!! we managed to get another run in the 8th before walking out with a 6-3 victory.

on a more somber note, BA left the game in the 8th with a sore oblique. general soreness jerry owens replaced him for the remainder of the game. looks like someone cant go honey-hoppin' tonight!

tomorrow my boys are going down to texas to play the rangers. hopefully my boy carlos won't be hoppin' on hamilton for this trip! tomorrow is also my dad's birthday, but there wont be a game for him to watch. i also wont be able to send him anything cuz i've got a monsterously busy day tomorrow with a math test, a bio presentation, and other shit.

the next televised game is saturday on WGN, and then sunday on ESPN.

GO WHITE SOX!!!

the end of spring training

cactus league spring training finally winds down to a close. since i have nothing better to do, and im waiting for 'basic instinct' to load (this movie so far is really creepy, really gross, and i wouldnt recommend watching it with someone else in the room. im watching it on these chinese websites that take forever to load!), i figured id put my final thoughts into spring training.

recordwise, spring training was a mess. the white sox came out with a poor record, bartolo shows us that he still cant pitch, carlos either hasn't got used to his new wrist, or its obvious that the injury has killed his power (no home runs this spring training!), and kenny cut some surprising players (general soreness jerry owens comes to mind). that said, lets hope that this spring training has worked out the kinks for my boys in black and white.

FINALLY!!! let the REAL games begin! only 3 more days till opening day!

though this has nothing to do with the white sox, i cant get it out of my mind. id like to take this opportunity to express my screaming anger at jerry angelo, the chicago bears gm, for taking in jay cutler. cutler, who will now be referred to as 'diva jay', is exactly what his nickname implies-a diva who, like TO, is a proven champ but will cause nothing but trouble in the locker room and destroy the team's chemistry. although, the bears havent really got any team chemistry to call credible, but still. its fragile and having diva jay around won't exactly help our cause. the sports hernia, a blog i frequent and comment on alot, had 2 dedications to diva jay. 1 was 'the painful period', and the other is the 'i dont give a shit'. my favorite is 'the painful period' (photo shown above) cuz that will be the look on diva jay's face 4 plays into training camp >:]

GO WHITE SOX!!! world series here we come!!

jerry owens gets waived

im sorry to say it, but its true. 'general soreness' jerry owens has been waived by the white sox. i guess all those KOs, weak hits, and the sore groin that earned him the nickname 'general soreness' finally did him in.

the guys over at south side sox had a "memorial" set up in honor of jerry. you can see it here.

only 5 more days to go till opening day...>:[
