What was that I said a month ago about the bullpen being stellar? Nevermind. Apparently this is going to be the type of season that when the pitching and defense are good, the offense doesn't have a clue; when the offense starts to come around, the pitching goes in the toilet. I'm no master baseball strategist, but could this have something to do with carrying 7 guys in the bullpen? 7 guys who aren't seeing a whole lot of work because they have to split time?
Oh well. Screw it. Even though these losses sting even more because they came up on the North Side, I'll continue to try and look on the bright side--Thome is back next week, Toby Hall is back and can hit (if not play defense), the offense is starting to come around, and the bullpen isn't as bad as it's looked the past two days. Or if it is, at least Gage and I can commiserate about our mediocre teams with mediocre bullpens.

Not sure if it made national news but did you hear about the AJ / Ozzie war of words on the radio?
If not, AJ was bitching about having to split time with Toby Hall on a talk show. Ozzie was listening so he called in to the show to tell AJ to shut the hell up. Except he couldnt restrain from dropping a bunch of F-bombs on live radio. This caused the radio host (Mike North) to drop an F-bomb while telling Ozzie to stop swearing on his show.
Seriously, how can you not love Ozzie Guillen?
yeah, i did see (and listen to) that. basically what i learned from that is that mike north is a piece of shit (no news there) and so is aj (no news there, either). who the fuck is aj to go on that asswipe's radio show and complain about ONE day off against a lefty? give me a break. i read a stat that he's played the most games at catcher in the al this year, aside from posada.
more importantly, aj needs to shut the fuck up, quit worrying about himself, and realize that the white sox are a much better team for having toby hall backing him up instead of gustavo molina.
I like the fact that AJ pisses off the other team alot but he needs to not piss off his own team and manager by doing stupid shit like that.
No one is hitting in that lineup right now, I can't believe he would complain about the manager bringing in a guy off the bench once in awhile. How about you raise your average above .220 and then you can worry about playing time.
