OK, I guess the White Sox are going nowhere unless the starters can go 9 each time out.
...Jason Varitek and Jacque Jones all have 2
Thanks to the magic of falling acidic H2O, Jason Varitek now has only one homerun though he did at one time last night have two. Oh, well. At least he's back from the DL. He also showed no signs of fear and went all out after a pop foul in game one even though a fantastic grab last year cost him 6+ months.
Back to the Homeruns:
If they start walking Barry Bonds every single time he comes to the plate, I hope the opposition gets pounded by the rest of the lineup in much the same manner as the fired Larry Dierker and the Astros did last October in getting swept by the Giants.
my first exposure to baseball was the World Series last year, I imagine few things in baseball can top that, so it's all downhill from now, right?
Well, you missed Ted Williams throwing out the first pitch at the '99 All-Star Game. That was something.
And a Red Sox or Cubs WS victory will be major... Last year's Series was one of the great ones, and not just because it involved a Yankee defeat, but when one of the century-plus old teams with a long drought and fans all over the country takes the crown...
I'm watching the Oakland/Seattle game right now on ESPN and I have one question: WHat gives with the train in the background? That is ANNOYING!
You're the first person I've ever heard say that. I find it to be really fun, especially when you're at the game. Adds to the mystique of our great new ballpark.

I suppose it's different when you live there and were told that there was going to be a train riding by during games. You've worked into the idea of having it there. For me, I like game sounds - and only game sounds - in the background. The crack of the bat, the cheer of the crowd. Vendors are ok to an extent - when the come around every minute and distract from the game, that too is annoying.
Sometimes I'll go to watch the crowd. It's almost as entertaining (sometimes moreso) than the game.
Anyhow - how about Craig Biggio hitting for the cycle?
