Day 1 of the West Coast Swing: Game 144 Preview

Jose Contreras 12-7, 4.09 for the ChiSox

vs.

John Lackey 11-9, 3.54 for the Halos

I feel more comfortable playing out West against a good team than I do at home playing the Royals. I don't know why.

9:05 start time

My pick to click is Juanny.
James is going with Paulie.

I need some inspiration today...I'm praying for a good game.
Actually, I"m praying for a good game that we win.

Frank Thomas just homered in his 6th straight game, 1-0 Oakland over the Twins.

A couple more runs would be fantastic

or a bushel of runs

BTW, I'm gonna stay away from the Cell until they get bad again. Call it my irrational fear of jinxes, call it the really big hole in now have in my wallet , call it whatever you like, but that 9th inning was painful. Luckily I was planted in the bullpen bar by that time and my liquid morphine had started kicking in.

Beauty grab by Paulie

I think the Sox play this season has increased liquor sales...at least around the park

9/11/2006 10:59 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

Oh, I'm fairly certain increased liquor sales extend way outside the Birdgeport nieghborhood when the Sox play. The team is like a walking Ritalin bottle.

That catch by Paulie was more difficult than it first looked.

Geez, Lackey is rolling through us

9/11/2006 11:03 PM

Lackey got Lucky against Crede there.

5 K's in a row

And now Uribe gets lucky. It's so true when people say that all break even out in the end.

9/11/2006 11:06 PM

Can I just say, Lackey is one ugly MFer.

good defensive move here by ozzie bringing in BA

9/11/2006 11:10 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

We gotta get Hawk or someone else to come up with some new nicknames for guys like Brian Anderson, cuz while it's easy to type BA, it's a lazy way of doing it.

So who else needs a nickname?

9/11/2006 11:13 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

Personally, I like Blondie for BA.

Juanny could use a name

Heart stopped for a second, even though I knew it wasn't out

My blood pressure just spiked for a moment there watching Cabrera's post swing body language.

This would be a good time for THomer number 40

Checking out that replay of AJ's hit, it dawned on my that he is a dead low ball hitter (as a lot of lefties are). But he seems to be hitting balls off the dirt lately.

Bobby Jenks it is.

That was the funniest dive ever!
Me and my friend are cracking up. He suddenly went like 5 speeds faster

9/11/2006 11:28 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

He did kinda find an extra silly gear there on that headfirst slide.

9/11/2006 11:30 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

did that say 93 or 98 on the gun?

9/11/2006 11:31 PM  
Blogger Jeeves said...

Let's go Bobby

9/11/2006 11:32 PM  
Blogger Jeeves said...

C'mon Jenks. Reach back and throw some fire.

9/11/2006 11:33 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

0-2 on both guys...fuck
Bobby needs to find his out pitch and quickly.

9/11/2006 11:33 PM  
Blogger Jeeves said...

I'll take that

9/11/2006 11:34 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

I'll take the DP for the run right now, although I bet aybar is running...

well I was in the middle of typing that above when he DID hit the GIDP.

HE GONE!

White Sox winner baby!

9/11/2006 11:35 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

Seems like that DP is just what Bobby needed.

9/11/2006 11:35 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

Yeah, got the trip off to a good start, good starting pitching, I'm pretty sure Bobby'll be fine, he just needed a confidence boost and he got it tonight.

3.0 behind the Tiggers.

Tomorrow will be the tell-tale game. Santana is like 9-2 at home, and Buehrle is gonna have to be on his A-game, although I wouldn't mind seeing McCarthy getting the start.

We seem to have the Angels number lately.

Again, Sox can never win a game with ease. They must induce heart pains first.

9/11/2006 11:48 PM  
Blogger jamesmnordbergjr said...

alright, dickie, I'll go back and see what I wrote and if there's any "strange brew" of words that I can use to repeat the good mark buehrle performance
