"Harry Caray here....." - Best Will Ferrell impersonation doing his best Harry Caray
Well, it's August 14, 3:28pm (my dad just called, said he was going golfing - I'm not, I'm stuck at work w/ the golfing blues again), and that means baseball season! And the Sox signed Beckham, their 1st round draft pick from Georgia (that's College World Series Champions Georgia).
"Yeah, baseball started already. They've been playing for months. Shut the fuck up."
Those were your thoughts....right?
Well, after the White Sox win last night, and the Twins win, we're still in first by 1/2 game. Think of it as 4.5 innings. (Update, Thome hit a 3 run shot followed by Konerko's solo effort. Hell, I've got a solo effort every night, Sox 7 - Royals 2.)
Looks like that Quentin trade worked out well. That Alexei kid from Cuba, doing pretty good too. Jr? Eh, he's old. But walks a lot. Kenny might not be so dumb after all (we'll just ignore Swish sucking the big one).
(Alexei just went yard, solo style, back to back to back shots).
So, we're right in the middle of a pennant race with the "re-building" Twins. Seriously, re-building and they're in contention for first in the AL Central. Where are the Tigers and Engines? Oh, that's right......
They're where we're supposed to be this year. Sucking.
(Uribe homered, Han Solo style, back to back to back to back, Sox 9 - Royals 2 - looks like a Bears score. But, Toby Hall will end that, I'm sure.)
Logic points to the White Sox of '05, coming down the stretch being followed by the Indians like Dick Tracy on the hunt for Roger Rabbit. But, this isn't '05. CQ (Carlos Quentin) is having an MVP year, like JD did in '05. JD is having an MVP year like JD did in '05. Our homeboy, 95-year-old Jose Contreras is dead....I think. So, he's not gonna be much of a help like he was in '05.
See....totally different. This time around we're being chased by the Twins. Way different.
Either way, like '05, we're where we didn't think we'd be or should be. So, regardless of what happens this season, it's turned out pretty well.
NOT!
If they don't take the division from those Yankees (referring to the Twins being from the North and using "Yankee" as a derogetory name), I'll be pissed. Look, Tampa Bay is doing it in the East and the Los Angeles Angels of Anehiem (spell check please?) are doing it in the west, why can't we do it in the midwest?
(Chris Getz, my new homeboy for the Sox is now up - Holla!)
(Getz grounded out. So much for .500.)
Oh, and by the way, I got my "Holy Grail."
Lets hope the Sox can get another this season.

So go Twins?? Is that right? I don't know, seems like the White Sox aren't the same team in '05 and in a bad way. I should know. I've seen exactly zero White Sox highlights this year, so I've studied them pretty closely.
Prediction: Sox win division, lose 4-2 in conference championship to whoever else is doing well. Book it.
