vs.

The Buehrle Bile File
writers are a hungry bunch, and we'll snack on just about anything -- hotwings, cheerios, someone else's left-over nachos in a cinema -- but our personal favorite for a midnight snack is a big, juicy Whopper™. Just typing the word makes the mouth water and the stomach rumble with pleasure. We can just smell the flame-broiled goodness, the warm sesame-seeded bun, the tart pickles. And because Burger King® is all about the people, my Whopper™ comes w/cheese, no mayo, add mustard.

Ohhhh, to "Have It Your Way." What a concept for advertisment! What generosity! What idealistic thought!

What a lousy motto for a pitcher!

All hitters have sweet spots in their swing zones -- for lefties, down and in, for righties, middle-in. But almost all hitters to a man, whether they be lefty, righty, or switch hitter, will tell you that a high, slow change-up or a slow rolling curveball will make the mouth water and the stomach rumble with pleasure.

Most pitchers try to avoid throwing these pitches, but most good pitchers aren't named Mark Buehrle. Maybe Mark is a spokesman for Burger King® and is demonstrating the ad line in a unique way. Maybe he shares Burger King's® philosophy for giving people what they want when they want it. Whatever the case may be, the White Sox won't win many games if Mark continues to make hitters drool, and they certainly won't make the playoffs either if the Tiggers snack on Mark's pitching.

Who knows? If Mark has another bile-tastic outting, maybe Scott Reifert, Brooks Boyer and the White Sox PR department can convince Burger King® to do a promotion by changing the name on back of his jersey from Buehrle to the XFL-styled..........

"Have It Your Way"



My Pick to Click...god, this is tough...everyone is slumping...how about Alomar? He'll be a first for me.

Also...don't forget to check out Jeeves' recap from last night's game...

I know, reading about a loss can be painful, but remember, reading is fundamental. Good for the kiddies!

Can we reserve some bile for Scott Podsednik? The dude needs a map to find 1st base. There were bigger problems last night, I know. But I think it's time to take the Roblo Makozuna for LF campaign global.

Needs a map...just genius.
And when playing LF, maybe a GPS.

I say we vote to change Scott's name to Pods-crap-nik!

Man Law?

I'll take Iguchi as my PTC.

And along with a GPS, give Pods a paperboy to throw the balls back for him. He may be quick, but my three year old has a stronger arm.

I love feeling like the game is over in the first inning.

We need the offense to shape up today!

Ozzie should punch someone. Hopefully Pods or he could take the All-Star vote slogan to heart and punch AJ.

Yes I know I'm being ridiculous
