Today I’m working in my office, listening to Ed Farmer call the White Sox game over the internet. Then Katie cries, so I decide to feed her in front of the TV with the MLB Extra Innings feed (today it’s out of Minnesota).
It’s always interesting to hear what other baseball people think of your team. Usually you get good insight on how your team’s players might be improving or on the decline.
But these Minnesota idiots – all they could do was latch on to one thing Ozzie Guillen said last August. He called the team pirhanas, because they’re vicious and always attacking. In my mind, a compliment. But to Minnesota fans (damn I hate all Minnie-soda fans), it was fuel for the fire. Signs everywhere today. Announcers on board. Even ten months later (it takes a while for things to catch on up dere).
I think Ozzie should stop feeding their frenzy (yeah right, good luck). But most of all, I think it’d be nice if the Sox actually started to play small ball like those pirhanas. I envy it.

The twins are eating us alive. 8+ runs over 2 games after 2 outs and no one on. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
Ah another day, another dink and donk twinkie attack, followed by a towering Morneau home run. Almost a third of the season is gone and I’m ready for another version of “the kids can play.” Can’t be any worse than the current “The old guys can’t run.” Who wants to buy my season tix?!
I’ll give ya $5 a game for those.
I might take you up on that…..
Ah even now as I type, the Twins have battled back from 6-1 to tie the game.
