ONE

Can I be next?

Photo stolen from M. Spencer Green (AP). With a name like 'M. Spencer Green' he deserves to be fuckin robbed. "Katy Lyznicki, right, helps Megan Sherman, left, with her makeup as Christina Lyznicki looks on at U.S. Cellular Field before Game 1 of the World Series between the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros, Saturday, Oct. 22, 2005. "

I would like Katy, Megan and Christina - if, of course, they are at least 18 years of age, and, therefore able to legally perform consenusal sexual acts of erotic pleasure with an adult - to come over to my love shack, drink a lot of tequila, remove their clothes, apply the Sox body paint to their bare skin, then start kissing each other and beg me in join in.

Game One impressions:

--Since us po' folk with part time jobs in the food service industry had to work, I listened to the first few innings on radio. Farmer and Rooney were outstanding. I especially enjoyed Rooney's Milo Hamilton impression (which was dead on) and their discussion of how Bernie Mac apparently sat in the wrong seat.

--I've been talking up Joe Crede since last year. A lot of 'know-it-all, armchair quaterbacks' around the water cooler dis Crede's hitting, and have all year. My arguement has always been, sure, he may hit .250, but he hits clutch homers, and is stellar on defense. That is all you can ask from your third baseman. He's a great one, and in Game one, he showed the nation...

--speaking of Crede, his post game comments were by far the most intruging of anyone who talked in the media room. He had a lot of praise for Jason Dellaero, a former teamate of Joe's, who played shortstop in the Sox minor league system a few years back. Crede noted Dallaero's defense.. as did Bill Melton, reacting to Crede's comments. I'm not sure excatly what happened to this guy. After he left the Sox orginzation, he was with the KC Royals farm system, and at the beginning of 2005, was with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays AA affilitate in the Southern League, the Montgonery Biscuits. In April, the Biscuits sent him all the way down to Husdon Valley in the short season NY-Penn League, but I can't find any info that suggests he accepted that assignment...

--I have to give Liz Phair credit. Her version of "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch was spectacular. Honestly, I thought it was great. Plus, she is a smokin hot MILF. I just wanna phuck her brains out, even her new album does suck.

--Jermaine Dye decided to show up today!

--Bobby Jenks might be among the best stories in baseball in a long time. Cast aside by the Angels, at this time last year, he was in rehab in Arizona, and his future was questionable at best. As late as July, he was toiling away in obsurity in the AA Southern League. Now here he is, center stage at the biggest sports showcase on the planet.

--the above is kinda too bad for Neal Cotts, whose great performance was overshadowed by Jenks and his 100 mph fastball. Cotts is a rock, and has been for a long long time.

I was in the burbs tonight. Any firsthand reports from the southside? Was Jimbo's just outta control?

Game two tomorrow. DUH!
