Friday @ Comiskey Game Thread

Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox, May 23, 2008 5:11 PM PDT


Satan rejected my soul
He knows my kind
He won't be dragged down
He's seen my face around
He knows Heaven doesn't seem
To be my home
So I must find
Somewhere else to go

Vlad's smoked a couple pretty good in this game, but right at guys.

He’s fine now, he’s just getting unlucky at this point.

It's not unlucky

when you’ve been doing it all season.

Remember that double he got robbed of in the Dodgers series where the umpire incorrectly ruled a fair ball over the 3B bag foul? And that was the only hard hit Vlad had in the game? Blecch.

No it's still unlucky.

Just a lot of it. And there was a while there where he was looking like GA with rolling over everything. Now he’s back to squaring up balls, so I think he’ll be fine.

Hey wiz …

Frankie wants $15 mil a year to make us all shit our pants every 9th inning when Shields or even Arredondo could do the same for much much less.

Saunders is making just above major league minimum. The guy should have had a chance to post a CG SO.

When Arredondo or Shields can manage 1 blown save out of 21, I'll be impressed.

So far, Shields is 0-1 on the season. I’d be that Arredondo hasn’t been that good at SLC either.

Again, I wish Joe would have gotten the CG too, but how the HELL is it K-ROD’s fault that Sosh made that call?
