Game 163: White Sox and Twins, one last time

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 30 at 12:13AM

163



Here's the deal: I have class until 6:30. For whatever reason, this game starts at 6:35, not 7:11. I'll start the live blog as soon as I get home, though it may be a few minutes after first pitch, it depends when we get let out. Make sure you're here, and invite friends.

A few extra notes after the jump...

The Sox are, somehow, still alive; the Bears prove me wrong once again

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 29 at 1:51AM

I’m not even sure what to say about the happenings this weekend at The Cell. The Sox came in knowing they controlled their own destiny, that a sweep of the Indians would at least give them a shot at a...

Bearly Relevant: Week Four, the quarterback we’ve never had

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 26 at 12:01AM

--Sox post coming once I get out of work.--Kyle Orton isn’t the reason the Bears have blown two consecutive fourth quarter leads. The second half he played against the Bucs last week may even have been the best of his...

Cover it Live rules, Javy Vazquez does not

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 24 at 12:15AM

Really, Game One was over before it even began, right? The scenario:Ozzie challenges Javy... ''He hasn't been [a big-game pitcher], that's the bottom line.''And Javy's response...''You know what? It's not going to [change a lot of opinions] because I'm really...

The Bears give us more incentive to focus on the Sox

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 22 at 3:13AM

A few loose* observations from yesterday’s Bears game- I love Kyle Orton. I do. Sophomore year of college, we used to hang out by the Bears’ hotel after home games, desperately hoping to get Orton to autograph a handle of...

Bearly Relevant: Week Three, welcome back Brian

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 19 at 4:17AM

This is only game three for the Bears, and already I’ve gone through three completely different takes on them. At first, I was convinced they would be horrible. But then the season opener against the Colts happened, and I remembered...

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 18 at 4:25AM

I was at work during the game yesterday, jumping between the Sox’ and Twins’ gamecasts on Yahoo!, but I was paying enough attention to know Richard was pitching a good game. I like Richard and I hope he does well...

Sox Report is here. Embrace it. With school, work, and like 200 blogs (or four. whatever.), these TUP posts may start to be a little shorter during the week. That's probably a good thing for everyone anyway, because, let's be...

Bearly Relevant: Week Two, the return of the Moose

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 12 at 4:10AM

After all the shit I talked about the Bears the last five months, you probably would have expected me to be shocked by last week’s beat down of the Colts. And I was, I guess, but not really. Maybe it’s...

Thank you Joakim Soria, ect

Good to see the Royals screwing over a team in a pennant race besides for the Sox for once. A lot of people probably expected the Sox' one game division lead to be gone before the end of this week,...

One crazy week

by Ricky O'Donnell on September 10 at 1:58PM

Consider the following:- Superman God Carlos Quentin, purveyor of all things awesome, breaks his own wrist by slamming his bat against it. The Sox playoff chances take a huge hit without the likely AL MVP…- And the then the Sox...
