"More Left Hand -- Around 10 years ago... I invented a left-handed hammer and I was sure that I was going to get rich. Turns out there were no left-handed nails and the venture failed miserably." Remi

The Twins vs. the White Sox   It's not just an important game for the Twins. It's important for the White Sox as well.   We can all talk about playoff contention for the Twins because it's so obvious

INIGO: I'm going to do him left-handed. VIZZINI: You KNOW what a hurry we're in! INIGO: Eh- it's the only way I can be satisfied. If I use my right... over too quickly. VIZZINI: Oh, have it your way.

Harrelson served as a Chicago White Sox announcer from 1982 to 1985 and briefly left broadcasting during the 1986 season to become the White Sox's General Manager. During his one season as GM, Harrelson fired field manager Tony La Russa (who was soon hired by the Oakland Athletics) and assistant general manager Dave Dombrowski (who became baseball's youngest general manager with the Montreal Expos just two years later). Harrelson also traded rookie Bobby Bonilla, later a six-time All-Star, to the Pittsburgh Pirates for pitcher José DeLeón.

Back in the day, when they discovered that a person was left handed, they would chop their left hand off and make them a regular person. Cruel, but true story.

 

There is a regular poster here who used to think largely out of the left side of his brain -- some doctors wanted to remedy that with some ill-advised brain surgery.  

 

He somehow survived -- but you can tell from his posts that something is not quite right with his mind (ok - not right at all).  I will give the person some privacy and not say who he is, but he might be a moderator.  

 

Also a cruel, but true story,

I'd love to hear the discussion that led to him becoming the GM.  

 

"Let's get Hawk in here!"

 

"The TV guy?"

 

"Yeah, he makes good points on the show!"

 

"But...he has no experience, what makes you think this is a good idea at all?  We have that kid Dombrowski we have been grooming for almost a decade now."
 

"WHO?  Give me HAWK!"

 

Or...that's how I like to imagine it going.

And starred in a Monty Python film, if I recall.

From a purely mathematical standpoint, the Sox may be in it if they win all their games.

 

I look at it this way. With 32-33 games to go for most teams, some team in the AL is going to get hot and go 23-10. We just don't know which one, but it happens every year. It could be some first place team that proceeds to run away with the regular season title, or some last place team that gets hot and salvages a near-.500 record.

 

If it happens to be the White Sox, it will put their season record at 84-78. I don't think that's going to be enough wins. So for my purposes, the Sox are out of it. It would take more than just a hot final month, but a miracle.

 

Yeah... But what if they go 24-9?

ChiTown wanted to keep that under wraps.
