Go For The Sweep!
The White Sox have had an awesome series against the Twins so far, outscoring them 33-8.  The last game of the series is going on right now, and I'm feeling strong that the Sox will continue to kick ass.  There's a reason we're in first place.

Man Survives Being Buried in Rubble for 100 Hours
Here's a bit of a feel good story.  Despite the 60,000 people who died in the China earthquake, one person survived 100 hours in the rubble before getting rescued.  I'm amazed that he's still alive.  I'm sure he's not in tip-top shape, but at least he is alive.

Go Crazy Sox Fans
Things are looking good with the White Sox right now.  Dramatic win in yesterday's game two against the Orioles, first place in the division...it's all good.

I've only been to one game so far this season, so I'm pretty disappointed in myself.  Gotta get to one soon.

I'd Rather Be In Arizona
Glad to see that the White Sox won today.  They won yesterday too, beating the Angels.  The team is 5-4 now in spring training games.

I would LOVE to go to Arizona for a week or so and watch some spring training games.  That would be an incredible experience.  Maybe next year. 

No, really...maybe next year.

Phillies Pull Off Great Prank
I laughed so hard when I saw this video.  Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick was on the receiving end of a great prank, put together by fellow pitcher Brett Myers. 

Kendrick was tricked into believing that he was traded to the Yomiuri Giants in Japan for a player named "Kobayashi Iwamura."  Had he truly been thinking, he would have realized that such deals are prohibited. And with a little digging he could have found out that there is no Kobayashi Iwamura playing in Japan.  Kobayashi is, in fact, the famed Japanese hot dog eating champion.

The prank was elaborate enough to include Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr., manager Charlie Manuel, Kendrick's agent, the media and others.

Biggio Wins Roberto Clemente Award
Houston Astros' star Craig Biggio won the 2007 Roberto Clemente Award, given annually to a major league player who combines community service with excellence on the field.

He was picked from among 30 nominees, one from each big league team, by a committee that included commissioner Bud Selig and Vera Clemente, Roberto's widow.

The 41-year-old second baseman retired after this season, his 20th in the major leagues -- all with Houston. He became the 27th player to reach 3,000 hits on June 28.


Known for his gritty play at several positions, Biggio also is the national spokesman for the Sunshine Kids Foundation, which provides support for young cancer patients. He visits the Sunshine Kids house regularly and often wore the organization's pin on his Astros cap.


Biggio has hosted a yearly baseball party at Minute Maid Park for more than 100 kids with cancer, along with a celebrity golf tournament that has raised more than $2.5 million for the Sunshine Kids Foundation the past 15 years.


The seven-time All-Star began his career as a catcher before switching to second base, where he won four Gold Gloves from 1994-97. He later moved to the outfield, then finished his career back at second.

Biggio helped the Astros reach their only World Series in 2005, when they were swept by the Chicago White Sox. He finished his career with 3,060 hits, 1,844 runs scored and 291 homers, numbers that seem likely to earn him a spot in the Hall of Fame.


Clemente was a Hall of Fame right fielder with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He died in a plane crash on New Year's Eve 1972 while trying to deliver relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. He finished his career with exactly 3,000 hits.

My Halloween Personality

What Your Halloween Habits Say About You
A bit of an introvert, you like the special occasions just as much as everyone else. You just have your own unique way of celebrating Halloween. You like to think of yourself as naughty. But compared to most people, you're actually quite mild. Your inner child is full of wonder and very sweet. You fear people taking advantage for you. You are always worried about protecting your own interests. You're logical, rational, and not easily effected. Not a lot scares you... especially when it comes to the paranormal. You are a traditionalist with most aspects of your life. You like your Halloween costume to be basic, well made, and conventional enough to wear another year.

Bonds Breaks The Record
Baseball has a new home run king.  Barry Bonds hit is 756 home run in the 5th inning of the San Francisco Giants game against the Washington Nationals.  I don't really care.  I believe that Bonds used steroids.  I believe that a steroid user shouldn't be celebrated.  I hope that someone beats his record soon.  Even if Bonds isn't a steroid user, he's still a jerk.  I don't think jerks should be rewarded either.

I was pretty annoyed that they stopped the game and let Barry go out on the field and say his thank yous.

Falling In Love With Alyssa Milano
My respect for Alyssa Milano just skyrocketed since I found her blog on mlb.com and realized that she is a huge fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers and of baseball in general.

I may not love the Dodgers, but I dig the fact that she is so passionate about the sport, and about her home team.
