So, the Sox totally spanked the great St. Louis Cardinales 20-6 last night...

In the third, every member of the Sox lineup got a hit in the inning (a couple had two IIRC.) Has that ever happened before?

(I do love the part about going "to a Madonna concert" in that story above!)

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

"Guillen also told Couch that he has gay friends, attends WNBA games, went to a Madonna concert and plans to go to the Gay Games in Chicago."

HAHAHA WHAT? god i love ozzie. also, if you're gonna call someone a fag, it might as well be Jay Mariotti.

...and in the first inning of game 2, the pounding continues...

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 23:20 (nineteen years ago)

"attends WNBA games" is my favorite part.

that's two starters in a row for the cards that have given up at least nine runs

i damn near drove off the road when i heard ozzie's 'some of my best friends...' addendum today. they were comparing it to rocker's comments which while yeah these are reprehensible (and surely him saying it about mariotti is a mitigating factor) they're still nowhere near rocker league.

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 22 June 2006 02:36 (nineteen years ago)

i would've let rocker slide if he was hilarious like OG!! hell, ozzie could go out and participate in a gaybashing and i would prob just like him more lol~~~

― INSANE CLOWN FOSSE (Adrian Langston), Thursday, 22 June 2006 03:06 (nineteen years ago)

Please, you can't be serious, I detect girlish sarcasm there.

Anyway, does mlb have a consistent policy on such statements? Like, say you had Italian teammates but openly refused to eat pizza or pasta in front of them because your family was 'boycotting' Italian food? How is THAT not equally bigoted?

paging Janet Margolin on fuckin basketball in Annie Hall

What wd OG's suspension be if he had called that writer a pussy?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 23 June 2006 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

way to out your 3b coach:

Prior to this evening’s Cards/White Sox contest, the recently chastised Ozzie Guillen was asked by Comcast Chicago what he thought his sensitivity training would be like.

“I’ll probably have to sit with Joey Cora for a couple of hours,” laughed Guillen.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 23 June 2006 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

What about LaRussa claiming the Sox were using a cameras to steal signs in the first two games of the series. It might happen, but then again, most of the MLB seems to have any Cards starters number outside of Carpenter. Saint Louis' starting pitching really sux considering their record.

― Earl Nash (earlnash), Friday, 23 June 2006 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

awwww somebody stole a sign? unfair!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 23 June 2006 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

anthony reyes is pretty unaffected thus far.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Friday, 23 June 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

LaRussa's spiel was they figured out after the second game of the series that the Sox were stealing signs, so they switched them up and got beat 1-0. I just figured it was LaRussa not liking being horribly beaten by a former employer making some excuses. "Oh it isn't that our pitching stinks and the Sox have a Clubber Lang lineup, it is the camera stealing signs in center field. Dave Duncan is a pitching coach genius."

Putting a healthy Thome in the middle of that lineup is just sick. It is a bit like when Ortiz took off in Boston a few years ago, they couldn't pitch around Manny anymore and it seemed the whole lineup improved. The White Sox were a good hitting lineup last year, but now they are a great hitting team.

― Earl Nash (earlnash), Friday, 23 June 2006 23:17 (nineteen years ago)

I gotta tip my hat -- they are an awfully fun team. My, they love getting those clutch grand slams this week. Nice one, So Tagutchi.

I will be in Chicago next weekend and at the Monday, July 3 game vs. the Orioles. We are in Section 527 (thank you, StubHub). If Stormy or any other ILBBers will be there, email me, and would love to say hi before the fireworks.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 26 June 2006 02:22 (nineteen years ago)

whew, that was some game last night. fuck you, espn, for not showing it until the end/extra innings. i'm sure you bristol fucks thought that florida/jankees matchup was really exciting, but hey, it wasn't.

love teh tagutchi.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 26 June 2006 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

Iguchi or Taguchi?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 26 June 2006 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

That's so Iguchi!

Whoops! Not So Iguchi. Just a Tad Iguchi.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 26 June 2006 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

I think the Astros main strategy against the White Sox should be to not give up Grand Slams.

This weekend was ridiculous.

― boldbury (boldbury), Monday, 26 June 2006 22:33 (nineteen years ago)

Very funny, Commissioner (took me a while)!

i think the astros strategy should be to forfeit.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

hey, ms. redwell! - i will be attending the July 3rd festivities. me and about 99 of my non-closest, semi-friends. My favorite bartender had been doing this thing where he buys a bunch of grouped tickets to the half-price Mondays, so there will be a large group of us there to root on the good guys. I will drop you a line!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 04:12 (nineteen years ago)

Awesome -- email me!

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 30 June 2006 03:26 (nineteen years ago)

Can somebody (Stormy Davis?) help me get my head around this team? Don't get me wrong, I think they're talented... but their seems to be something else going on with them (and I know I'm not the only one out there scratching my head).

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 30 June 2006 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

END THIS GAME ALREADY.

Sheesh. I have shit to do...

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 9 July 2006 23:18 (nineteen years ago)

THANK YOU Tadahito.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 9 July 2006 23:33 (nineteen years ago)

I was there, Stormy. Mercy!

two weeks pass...

wtf is Ozzie doing screaming at Garland in the dugout for not decapitating Ian Kinsler? other than being Ozzie, that is.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 24 July 2006 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

The Chicago White Sox acquired right-handed pitcher Mike MacDougal from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor-league pitchers Tyler Lumsden and Daniel Cortes.

― maura (maura), Monday, 24 July 2006 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

four weeks pass...

"When you play [expletive] [Johan] Santana, [Brad] Radke, [Francisco] Liriano, the guy from Cleveland ... [C.C.] Sabathia, all the other guys ... ah, [expletive]. If we played National League teams, the Central Division, we might win 150 games in that [expletive] league."
--Guillen

"They think I cheat? We faced two [expletive] good pitchers in the National League Central. Our division, they have to face [the Tigers' starting staff], then you go to the White Sox and face all our guys? When you're going to go to another team, you're going to go, 'Whew, where is Randy Johnson?' The American League Central? That's baseball right here. Go hard one after another."
--Guillen

"Good, I hope [they keep accusing us]. What happened in the playoffs and World Series? We won 1-0, 2-1. We won so many one-run games, more than anyone in baseball last year. You look at our No. 3, 4 and 5 [hitters], they are the best in baseball. If we're cheating, how come we [don't] help Brian Anderson or [Juan] Uribe?"
--Guillen

"We're cheating on the mound? Our pitching staff gets beat up once in awhile. They're mad. They can't admit that a Latino kicked their ass."
--Guillen

"That's why I love the guy next door. He doesn't give a [expletive]. He doesn't worry about this and that. You win, you kicked our butt. When they clinched in 2004, I was the first one to go over there and congratulate them because they beat us."
--Guillen, on Twins manager Ron Gardenhire

"'Oh, no, I don't like you because you kicked my ass?' Please. That's competition."
--Guillen

"That's why I don't get along with too many managers. Because they hate my [expletive] ass, because I don't kiss their ass, and I didn't kiss anyone's ass to get this job."
--Guillen

"Then they have a Mexican win the World Series in two years. And they're saying he doesn't have experience, he never managed in baseball before. Well, too [expletive] bad."
--Guillen

"What's the difference? No one knows the difference anyway."
--Guillen, after being reminded that he's Venezuelan

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 21 August 2006 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

I am glad that Ozzie Guillen exists, though I'd never ever want to work for him or employ him.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Monday, 21 August 2006 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

haha awesome

― gear (gear), Monday, 21 August 2006 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

How come Jermaine Dye never did this as an A?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 24 August 2006 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

Because he hates freedom. Also, he was pissed off that he fell to ROUND ELEVEN in our fantasy draft, and was all like 'payback. now.'

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 24 August 2006 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

There was also that broken leg thing.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 24 August 2006 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

And 9/11.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 24 August 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

#3 in MLB slugging average.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 24 August 2006 19:46 (nineteen years ago)

Jermaine Dye makes me so mad.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 24 August 2006 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

Meanwhile Jon Garland seems to have remembered how to pitch.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 24 August 2006 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

ten months pass...

Garland and co. give up 32 in a double header.

Buehrle gives up zero in eight innings the next day.

KEEP UP THE RESISTANCE, MR. WILLIAMS.
