My Mitt Romney campaign e-mail update this morning says that the POTUS “mocked” and “taunted” Red Sox fans. Here’s one of the quotes:
Maybe the President should have congratulated the team for winning the World Series in 2004 and 2007. Instead, he chose to mock them
As an addendum to the Rizzo post last night: He’s been in three places before age 23 but he’s been acquired by the same people in all three stops. Drafted by Theo, acquired by Hoyer in San Diego and then reacquired by Jed, Theo and Jason in Chicago. Going to be in the Confines for his debut tonight. Hopefully the masses don’t boo him if he strikes out in his 2nd AB. Looking forward to see him defensively as I imagine Starlin Castro is as well.

Not a fan of the White Sox having him hit second since the move to that spot seemed to have gotten Gordon Beckham going…not like he’s been going good enough to warrant hitting someplace else than where the 3rd baseman already had been

Good, SC. Thanks for asking. 2nd procedure went well last night and they think he can get released today.

Agree. I wasn’t sure why Robin shuffled his lineup so much. He also misspelled Youkilis on the lineup card. It said “Youklis.” If I were filling out that lineup card I would go De Aza, Bacon, Konerko, Big Donkey, Youkilis, Pierzynski, Rios, Viciedo, Missile. If you’re moving Beckham for anyone in that two spot, it should be AJ.

I get both the Romney and Obama e-mails. One of my few connections to the political world. Because Red Sox was in the subject line, I clicked this morning. Good for a laugh.

Anything for a talking point, I guess.

Neither of them have great OBP so I’m fine with them keeping a little more speed at the top of the lineup…Pierzynski’s in a nice spot at #6 now that Rios is producing at #5
Of course those bums would lay an egg in Minny last night, this whole thing is fucked if Konerko’s wrist keeps giving him trouble

Figured the first baseball musing today would be about the Mets committing two 3-base errors in one inning yesterday. I thought only the Tigers infield defense was capable of such things. The sorcery in Jon Rauch’s necktat summoned some weird shit in the 7th inning last night at Wrigley.

Husband: Well, Vicar, I’ve made enquiries with our shippers and the most sherry they can ship in any one load is 12,000 gallons.
Vicar: And how many glasses is that?
Husband: That’s roughly 540,000 glasses, Vicar.
Vicar: That’s excellent, Husband, excellent.
Husband: Yes, it means you can still keep your main sherry supply on the roof, but you can have an emergency supply underneath the vestry of 5,000 gallons.
Vicar: Yes, and I could have dry sherry on the roof and Amontillado in the underground tank!
Husband: Absolutely.

Obama is just a dork. There isn’t really anything else to say. All the other superlatives don’t matter. I don’t bash people…. I bash people who hire or support someone who is failing at a job.
