1st game this season.
Comments (2)i just knew that the sox were going to win yesterday no matter what! it was my first game this season, and i was set on seeing a great game! my blood was boiling with all of those yankee fans walking around with their stupid brooms as if we were going to get swept. yea, i’m not gonna lie i wanted to beat some people over the head with their cleaning supplies, but i held back. so my first game of the season was a winner, and boy was it sweet.
there were a lot of yankee fans at the game last night per usual, which is fine but really i didn’t understand why there were cub fans decked out in yankee apparel. actually according to another fan in our area decked out in fake k-mart yankee apparel. it rained a lot. i purchased a poncho. beefie bought a shirt to represent the chi-rish at the custom t-shirt shop. and i found a new stand called Comiskey Dogs that sells a real Chicago Hot Dog! it costs $5 and they do a very good job although one of the cashiers has a lazy eye and you aren’t sure when she is taking your order or the guy next to you. i got to see Bobby Jenks. i even got to see my Matt Thornton. i saw fireworks. when all was said and done it was a great day at the ballpark.
the game itself was fairly exciting too. i occasionally like the come from behind wins…although only when the White Sox win. =P i had a feeling that Gavin Floyd wasn’t going to have a spectacular game due to the conditions. but i was happy to see him come out after the rain delay. that says something about a pitcher. i think he wanted to show everyone that the picther he was in the 1st 3 innings was not a good representation of him over all. either way he did let some runs cross the plate, but he did a satisfactory job given the weather and field conditions. you also gotta give credit to the offense for getting to Ohlendorf. also very exciting was getting to joba chamberlain. joba is so dominating and i don’t think anyone wants to face him. it’s nice to win the way we did.
good things are happening
Comments (0)so i began writing about wednesday’s game and how i just love when the sox score a bunch of runs in the first inning setting a precedent for the rest of the game. and really, while i enjoy a good nail biter i occasionally like to just see a game i know we are going to win.
i have to admit i was a little nervous about contreras starting. he has been a bit inconsistent the last couple of seasons, but i am so glad he had a good outing. i needed to see him have a good game. he had his velocity up in the mid-90s and he was making his pitches. he was also not shaking off pitches and he got in his groove.
but overall i am loving how the white sox are playing right now. i love the defense. i am extremely glad to have crede back out on 3rd. i’m telling you - it was painful to see fields and other randoms miss balls that we all knew crede woulda had. and mr. clutch has also made a huge difference on runs scored and batted in, obviously. not only that but i get to wear my pink crede shirt to the games again! bonus!
keep it up white sox! maybe we will get to see our Sox-Cubs world series yet! it’s early, i know, but anything is possible!
thoughts for week 1
Comments (0)so, i’m intrigued by the results of baseball’s first week of the 2008 season. i mean i am obviously most interested in the white sox and what they are up to, but really i’m thinking that this is going to be a good year for baseball! first of all, i like the fact that they keep making the season longer. i love going to sox games and also the fact that they are all in HD! WOO! what i don’t like is that work has decided to be dumb and block my usage of the gameday portion of the white sox website. therefore i have watched about 3 hours total this week of white sox baseball, and the majority of that was while my boys lost to cleveland on wednesday night. so basically i haven’t known what was happening until the games were over and sportscenter was showing me the highlights of the game. ALSO, how awesome is it that detroit hasn’t won a game and they were swept by KC?
can we also talk about bad decisions made in the off season? so everyone who knows me knows how bitter i am at ken williams for trading my jon garland. not only am i super bummed because i always wanted to me mrs. garland…BUT i think he is a really good pitcher. his first game of the season exemplified his talents perfectly. i also don’t think it was a very fair trade. i mean a solid, consistent pitcher for a shortstop? infielders we are not short on, it’s good, solid pitching that can take us through the season. i mean i don’t want to be out of the race before we even start! i know it’s way too early to tell anything, but geez.
Hello Everyone!
Comments (0)Hi-oh! so i’m janet and this is my blog. i’ll mostly talk about the white sox here, but i will probably also talk about rugby and my bruises or some big manly girl that knocked me on my ass in that week’s match. i don’t consider myself to be the white sox know-it-all by any means, but i do have wikipedia at my fingertips and i can probably tell you the marital status of 99% of the current and former white sox players off the top of my head.
additionally i am going to go ahead and apologize ahead of time for the inevitable offensive remark that will come from me. when it comes to the white sox and my dislike for the cubs i’m pretty passionate about my views. but please comment on any of my comments, that’s what this is all about!
see ya!
