This is an archive collection of entries from  my main personal blog, My Mundane Mid-Life.


This particular entry is from April 15, 2006.



White Sox 4 - Blue Jays 2

Chicago White Sox Toronto Blue Jays

What a wonderful, gorgeous day for a ballgame. I've been looking for this kind of a day for a long time.

It started off pretty rough, though. The Blue Jays have only 2 guys in their lineup batting under .300. 8 pitches from Mark Buehrle in the first, and we're losing 2-0. Fortunately, Jim Thome walked and Paul Konerko hit a 2-run homer and we tied it 2-2 in the bottom of the first, and then it made everything all square and we had a ballgame again. (Thome has reached base and scored in each of the 11 games this season.) It was Paulie again in the 5th with another 2-run home run and got us the lead for good. Buehrle pitched 8 innings and retired the last 8. Bobby Jenks pitched the 9th and he earned a good save and didn't really screw up (except for a single - big deal).

The American League Championship Trophy and THE World Series Trophy are now in the window of the gift shop behind Home Plate - you can't get near the place because of all of the people trying to take pictures of the themselves with the trophy. Too bad it's behind glass that's reflecting the field or reflecting the flash of the cameras, because I didn't see a single picture that looked good.

Another big deal at the park is the raffle tickets. No the Sox Split Charity Raffle.

These are for a World Series Ring. Your own real, honest to goodness authentic World Series Players' Ring. Engraved with your name on it, even, just like everyone else. The Sox are raffling-off 3 of them (100,000 tickets at $20 each - proceeds go to White Sox Charities).

How cool would it be to have your own World Series Championship Ring for being a fan?

I guess the only other "odd" thing at the park was that guy on the outfield concourse in a speedo...

Oh, this is so wrong...
