SWEEPILICIOUS!!!
Comments (1)i was oh so glad to see the sweepiliciousness of this weekend. i was kinda bummed after last week, i mean, who wants to see their team lose? and who wants to see them get swept? and really, who wants to see any of that happen from the cubs? either way, great matchups both weekends, and in the end 33-33 is fine by me.
so, like i have said i love interleague play especially the classic. i love the trash talking, high-5ing, funny shirt wearing, screaming myself dizzy, singing “Let’s go go go White Sox”… and all around electricity that goes on during Sox-Cubs games! speaking of the shirts though - 2 really stick out in my mind - there was this one guy that had a picture on one side of his shirt with a pic of the trophy with the words “Sox Parade”, and then on the other side there was a pic of 2 guys under a rainbow with the words ” Cubs Parade.” the other funny shirt I saw had a caption “Animal Cruelty” and had a beefy White Sox player beating a cub (but a bear, not a person) with a bat.
OH, and by far one of the funniest parts of the weekend was when I walked past the boys bathroom. ha! gotta love a paragraph that starts out that way. =P but there were a bunch of dudes standing around and i found out why - there was this lone voice in the boys bathroom singing, “Go Sox Go” over and over again. oh, if it wasn’t super gross and he wasn’t peeing, and in the boys bathroom i would have given that guy a hi-5!
but getting to the baseball of the weekend because it was about that after all. i was so super proud of my boyfriend Matt Thornton! and while Boone Logan, Scott Linebrink, and Bobby Jenks aren’t my boyfriends, they all turned in outstanding performances. although i would have liked to see big Adam Russell. ALSO - i was happy to see that after Aramis Ramirez decided to go yard i don’t know how many times last week that he was 0-13 this weekend! wooooo! and while the cubs had several times to score our bullpen stayed strong and in the end we served those cubbies a piece of humble pie. you can’t ever count out the WHITE SOX!
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.
