Hey, look at me I’m an idiot. Put a dunce cap on me.

Cannon’s shoulders just slumped as Carp crushed that HR in the first. The agony of repeated defeat is not an easy thing to bear. Usually players check public demonstrations of defeat, but they’re human and can’t always rein them in. Even though we make fun of White Sox fans, there was something noble in how the faithful remnant made the pilgrimage of walking the perimeter of the ballpark before the game began. I too know what it feels like to revere a tradition and how painful it is to lose. I sure am glad we’re winning now though, and it’s our turn to win. There’s no win/win in baseball. It’s only win/lose. It’s kind of harsh but elegantly precise and definitive.

Twins will beat the Athletics, barring something amazing that probably won’t happen. So I’ve been reading it’s possible that Sawyer Gipson-Long could start tomorrow, but on tonight‘s broadcast they kept talking about Tuesday’s game as a “bullpen game.” No starting pitcher listed for either Tuesday or Wednesday right now. Anybody have a take on this?

I’ve seen those pictures so many times I just assumed they wore them a lot.

Those idiot A’s had the bases loaded with no outs and got two infield fly pop-ups, and then a ground out and did not score. Do not send boys to do a man’s job.

A precious memory of bad choices in Chicago. It’s just too bad the Tigers weren’t also at the Cleveland Indians ten-cent beer night.

The broadcasters were making that joke too. It was hard not to. It’s just short of Feiger Law changing their slogan to “all we do is lose.“

It’s amazing how one game can make a difference like that. I’ve actually been eyeing the Yankees run differential with resentment.

Yeah, he obviously wasn’t happy with it. Maybe he wants his stuff that breaks to be a ball’s width outside the strike zone instead of three or more balls width outside.

I hate the cutting off of Dan in mid-sentence.

Mark, did you ever go to record store in Ann Arbor called Make Waves? One of my friends owned it until he moved to Tucson. His wife’s sister was married to Michael Davis of the MC5.

They didn’t look to me like they tried very hard at all.

I refuse to believe that oppo taco is a part of regular baseball nomenclature. I think it’s one national broadcasters pet thing.

The White Sox just sent up a position player to pitch the ninth and it didn’t look like our guys tried very hard. When you’ve got a huge lead and a position player like yourself comes up to pitch, is it considered bad form to tee off on the poor bastard? Because you yourself could be the poor bastard some other time?

I hate the pizza commercial on radio. I’ll be in the car and I’ll mute it for what seems like 90 seconds and un-mute and it’s still on.

Wow, the limited rotation of ads on mlb.tv gets tedious.
