what a weird game
- Game delayed for a few minutes because of a squirrel on the field
- Big Hurt hits 2 homers in his first 3 at bats
- The As have white shoes.
- Strike zone appears to grow and shrink with the home plate ump’s whim.
- Ozzie ejected after confronting HPU about #4 in second inning, saying at least five variations of “fuck” in doing so.
- I don’t like this disturbing trend of the NL-esque longball in the AL.
- Currently in extra innings.
- Sox win.
In other news, we saw Mexican Cheerleader at the Beat Kitchen on Saturday night. Been a long while since we’d been out to see them and we had a fantastic time, as usual. Last time was the Blizzard of ’05 in West Dundee. Despite General Mill’s refusal to sponsor the band yet make Pete speak Anthrax lyrics in the voice of Count Chocula, the show ruled. MC really knows how to rock out with their dongs out and they were really on top of their shit this time and every bit as loud as I’ve heard them. Nice.
Scott almost called me on Kentucky Derby Day (dangerous) and Jimmy Karl White claims to have rampant mint growing at casa de karl in Berwyn (BERRRR-WYNNNN). Could be dangerous, hopefully it will be. Stay tuned, Chicagorillas. Mr. Natural completely harshed on the Blue Ribbon Beer I purchased for him while we watched A.J. Pierzynski get drilled in the grill for the millionth time that day. As some manner of rockabilly show had gone on previously, I made the obvioous connection of White Sox, Rednecks & Blue Ribbon Beer.
