Do you see a cool-looking Chinese dude in that pic...? NO. So, there is definitely something wrong with that pic.



I should've been there to watch the ChiSox the Twips this week...

I knew we'd give up #600. We just love being in the headlines. And we split. At least we touched up Volquez's ERA somewhat. I saw some pieces here and there and his stuff is just nasty.

Yeah, I think everybody knew that was coming


Yeah, it's naturally going to get harder for him since people have been seeing a lot of his pitching on video, etc. I believe that's the first time he's given up over 2 runs in a start this year



And at least we kept Cody Ross in check! Personal victory!

He might be on a hot streak. but he is in no way the best HR hitter in the MLB.

Gonna be a series...Big test for the Cubbies IMO. Honestly, their schedule has been way easier than the ChiSox up to this point with all the home games. And c'mon...feeding off of the NL West? Any team with a decent lineup and pitching would run up a nice record.





ChiSox? They've had a tougher schedule...although, if they keep playing the Indians, Tigers, and TWIPS...well, they just may challenge for the best record in MLB...evar.

Whoever wins is fine.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if the ChiSox lost a couple just so that Ozzie can go off again...he's priceless.

Yumchah, you're a disappointment . Just pick a team and stop having 2x the chance of seeing a win! Let me guess, you lean toward the Northside when the Cubs win, and vice-versa. Has living in Canada gotten to you?

<==== is lightly annoyed by "White Cubs" fans

It was hard to walk into the Cell with Herbie on my back, but even harder to walk out. How the hell Konerko, a .217 hitter, can flip his wrists and hit a ball over the right field fence is beyond me. Gardenhire has his hands full with this mess of boys this year.

There, there...your little piranhas will recover. I don't mind if they finish second and help out the ChiSox and slap around the supposed pre-season darlings, the Indians and the Tigers.

That jersey is from the mid-90's. Authentic visiting #14 jersey size 44. It fits me now about how it fit Hrbek when he retired, which is to say a little snug.

C.C. Sidewayshat shut us out last night.

We don't have piranhas this year. We traded Bartlett for two duds (Young and Harris), Punto has been on the DL all year, Tyner is gone. We have too many young guys making terrible decisions on the bases and in the field. No power and no patience. The bullpen is this year except for Nathan, but we can't get it to Joe this year. Watching them in person only confirmed all this.

I will admit that the White Sox have magic bats at home.

I couldn't believe they traded for Young...didn't think a team like the Twins would want someone with so many character problems.

It's not his character that's been in dispute this year, it's his hitting. And his power. And his fielding.

I'm sure his bat throwing abilities will improve throughout the season.

almost as puzzling as why Carlos Quentin isn't named on the all star ballots.

MLB is stupid, they probably don't want Quentin on there cause he's still a no-name.

Ironically Quentin was featured on a high def program on Mojo or HDNet a couple of years ago when he made it in Arizona. He had a great year that one year but then got hurt and then fell off the face of the earth.

Actually all of the teams are asked to submit three outfielders. The White Sox probably didn't think he would be a starter at the time.
