STB: Crosstown Classic Edition

Wow. This has been an amazing series so far. I decided it would be slightly pointless to go over the first to games in one post and then do the third in a final post, so I'm saving it all for tomorrow after the game. Might be in a different format too, what I'm doing right now is boring me. Here's my random thoughts thus far and some linkage.

  • Baseball advertisers are terrible. The White Sox have laughably stupid billboards all over, and their team website proclaims "We Are CHICAGO Baseball". Umm, Mister Chicago Baseball, Derrek Lee would like a word with you.
  • Carrie Muskat is a boring, untalented writer.
  • Wrigley Field gets very loud when good things happen.
  • Grand slams are FUN!!
  • Tomorrow the Sox are starting Nick Masset instead of having Contreras go on 3 days rest. Massett has a 6.61 ERA as a reliever this year. Contreras must be a huge pansy.
  • Terrace Reserved seats aren't that bad, but they're no bleachers.
  • Don't sell your extra tickets to some guy who is just gonna turn around and sell them for more. You will get gypped.
  • It is possible to enjoy a game of baseball after pulling an all-nighter, yet slightly more difficult.
  • The Cubs sent down Fontenot for Carlos Marmol, meaning essentially we brought up Marmol for Rocky Cherry. One question for Lou: why?

That's all of got. Not so much links as random thoughts, many of which I will elaborate on tomorrow night. For now, time to rest up for the wrath of Carlos Zambrano coming down upon the White Sox tomorrow.
