Chicago White Sox

PATIENT HITTER by David D. Horowitz

Yes, I can smack your knucklers and spitters,
     Dodge your beanballs, and stroke
Your curves to right for hits. Good hitters
     Learn patience, adjust. We watch you choke
And grimace, sweat. We simply hit
And win, as you knuckle, bean, and spit.

According to Wikipedia, "The White Sox play in the American League's Central Division. Since 1991, the White Sox have played in U.S. Cellular Field... nicknamed The Cell by local fans."   Hey, I'm a fan of cell phones although I prefer Verizon to U. S. Cellular.  My iPhone is actually one of my favorite things.  It keeps me occupied which is typically a good thing.

The White Sox also had some type of "Black Sox" scandal.  This is not all that surprising.  Scandals seem to be everywhere in sports.  Recently the St. Louis Rams were the target of a scandal that had more to do with the New Orleans Saints (Does New Orleans have a baseball team?  I have some more things to say about New Orleans and the Saints) than the Rams.  The Rams' new defensive coordinator has been "suspended indefinitely" from the NFL because of his behavior with the Saints.  Although I agree that it was probably a bad decision for the Rams to hire him knowing of the probe, it still kind of stinks. 

Yep, that's the Chicago White/Black Sox.  Although some will say it was about football and not baseball, I gave facts about the team and included personal thoughts on The Cell or at least my cell.  I also did not concentrate on the word black which would be a good descriptor of my feelings about waiting one more week until spring break.

A.J. Pierzynski also plays for the White Sox.  At least he did in 2009 when this photo was taken.  I'm sure he used to play for the Twins.  It doesn't matter.  He's beautiful!  Now how's that for a baseball fact?  In case you missed the fact, "He's beautiful."  I chose the poem because A. J. has a bat in this picture, so he must be a batter.

Today I am thankful for...
1) It's Friday!
2) It's Friday!
3) It's Friday!

Great post. That Pierzynski is a cutie.

You covered a lot of ground here.

A.J. was a Twin. We liked him okay, but now we hate him. Also, that's kind of a flattering picture. I don't find him to be all that attractive. But what do I know?

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
