Hmm, I thought Sportsline said he did. My bad.
That all changed when the unlikely trio of Eddings, Pierzynski and Josh Paul met around home plate in the ninth inning of a 1-1 game. There were 41,013 fans in the stands in Chicago and 40,000 of them likely didn’t know who Paul was, couldn’t spell Pierzynski if they were spotted the “z” and the “y” and wouldn’t recognize Eddings without his ball and strike clicker.
1) Paul was with the White Sox for five major league seasons, and came up through the system. And he was born and raised in Chicago, so people have heard of him.
2) Polish names aren't hard to find in Chicago, so one that's actually spelled phonetically like "Pierzynski" can't be that hard for people who have an interest in spelling.
3) The Eddings point I'll give him, though the guy wears a mask for a living. Without it, he kinda looked like a Rob Dibble without the creatine.
I don't have a good feeling about the rest of this series. The first two games have been fun, but I think the Angels run away with this thing from here on out.
And I'm slowly coming to terms with that. This team has already provided a lot more joy and excitement than I ever thought possible at seasons' start. Whatever happens from here on out, I think the White Sox can reasonably call this season a big success.

Ah, an all too familiar refrain.
Don't feel that way, my friend!! Take heart!! A wondrous thing can happen!! I know!! It happened to me!!
I'm also a little worried about Garland. He tends to do worse when he's coming off of a long rest, rather than on shorter rest. Just like the first two games, the Sox are relying on nothing short of dominance from Garland tonight if they want to win.
This is the one pitching matchup the Angels must exploit. The Sox failed in their similar matchup in game 1. Garcia-Santana and Buehrle-Washburn are too close to call.
tonight seems the other way around...lackey vs. a rusty garland, game in LA, pissed about call in game 2.
hopefully this will work out as well for LAofA as it did for the sox.
I just feel that the chances of them winning tonight seem exceedingly low.
I know what you're trying to do, but we're not damn dirty Cub fans. There's no need for a reverse jinx. Rowand, Everett and Uribe are .417/.447/.639 in 38 lifetime plate appearances against Lackey.
On a more relevant note, Garcia pitched well against LAAAAAAAAoAAAAAA this year too.
They wait for the other team (or the umpire, I suppose) to screw up.
BTW, rLr, what was your March premonition?
I hope so!
Having seen a handful of division titles followed by empty stretches, I figured I would consider this a success if the Sox were able to succeed in some way in the postseason, or could follow it up with another good year in 2006.
This is going to be a fun series. Probably very stressful, but in the end, fun. About an hour and a half till first pitch.
JRE,
I say this not to be a smartass, but with all due respect: I'd be scared shitless if you felt confident about the Pale Hose's chances. Let's not mess up a good thing, I say. ;)
Go Go-Go White Sox (but quit trying to steal bases)!
October 16 (Game 5) will be the latest in the year they've ever played.

7 days rest in 2004 vs. SEA
8 days rest in 2005 vs. CLE (though he did pitch an inning in the ASG between starts)
Garland threw a 70 pitch simulated game on Sunday to tune up for today.
I don't know how valid that theory is.
I won't talk about the call but i wonder how many death threats he's gotten so far. Only 2 that I know of personally....i mean, um, i heard somewhere that maybe a couple crazy ############# sent death threats...no wait, actually i think on sportscenter it said don denkinger sent him a couple. yeah.
For some reason, I think Orlando Cabrera is going to have a big game, and a big rest of the series.
Well, it's Cameron Crowe, so I doubt that.
But critics have just been ripping on it. Very sad. I'll still check it out -- Crowe has earned my trust.
PAULIE!
....I forgot what I was saying.
Nice to see Konerko get something going.
On Crowe:
I liked Say Anything and Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire was 'meh' for me, and I didn't like Vanilla Sky at all. Never saw Singles.
White is this year's Red.
I hope Garland's sinker has movement in this humidity...
Big inning for Garland.
If Jon gets hurt tonight, I'd guess it will probably be on his breaking stuff.
IIRC, it was Garland AND someone else. An outfielder, maybe?
It was Tony Tavares that vetoed the trade, not Stoneman.
The "Lando Cabrissian" thing came from my shortening "Orlando" to "'lando" one day, then realizing that sounded like "Lando Calrissian." (He's not a system; he's a man.)
Bob Brenly?
And Lando is too smooth to be a system.
I say this not to be a smartass, but with all due respect: I'd be scared shitless if you felt confident about the Pale Hose's chances. Let's not mess up a good thing, I say. ;)
Yeah JRE. I mean even I'm getting optimistic about all this stuff. Someone has to hold the line.
Nice job by Garland.
He was the team president, put in by Disney.
So I'm quite glad this came out to a happier result.
In Blackadder Goes Forth, Baldrick is told that there's a bullet out there with his name on it. So he carves "Baldrick" into a bullet and keeps it in his pocket, so that the bullet with his name on it can't harm him.
Someone has to hold the line.
I've just been burned too many times by this franchise.
He sounds like Arnold Palmer
