Hey, and I used to have red hair, too!

Heh ... my sister and I were stopped at a light and happened to look over at the apartment building to our left just in time to see a guy walking down his hallway, stark naked. We both looked at each other and laughed hysterically. True story.

Hmm ... checking the bushes out the window ... that's a long way down.

Bark is in Chicago?

RiverBrian ... the photo was really REALLY icky.

oy. I just threw mine up.

oy. Glad I decided not to go to the game. I have to get up at 7am in the morning to play tennis.

I wonder if pitchers cry after being removed for doing such a poor job.

I'm in agony ... and no apple crisp left.

Well, I couldn't get any of my White Sox fan friends to go to the game; good thing now that I'm seeing how this inning is going.

****. Sox scored. I hate the Sox.

Was a dribbler just kind of out or reach of either Hendriks and Parmelee. By the time Parms got to it and Hendriks over to cover first was too late.

White Sox broadcast guy: 'And Florimon comes in to talk Australian to Hendriks.' Heh ... I hate those guys but that cracked me up.

Oh, I thought it was one of those wax things you used to be able to buy at penny candy stores that was filled with flavored sugar water.

Oh, I would most definitely offer to make him one. But that's not what you said before.

I don't want one, but I really want to know what in the heck it has in its mouth.

Wtf is it with Arcia and high fast balls???

lol ... too late. When I make apple crisp, it's what I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

lol @ the white sox guys talking about Plouffe ... and then mentioned Sano, pronounced it SANN-o ... with the Chicago 'twang' to boot.

Welcome to the club, righty! And I have to live amongst them!

Okay ... I know this isn't true. I mean, Kenny Williams used to live in my building; so did Octavio Dotel; it can't be THAT hard to get here and around.

What? No Dozier? Glad I opted out of actually spending money and going to the game.

While I am very pleased and encouraged with how Pinto is doing this September, it's still too soon to tell how he will do going forward. I'm not ready to proclaim him the starting catcher for years to come based on one September; neither, as I said, am I ready to say Joe won't/shouldn't catch again. I DO understand the concerns with moving Joe out from behind the plate, but I just don't think it should or will happen so suddenly. Maybe a split between the two in the short term, and adjust that as Pinto is deemed 'for sure.'

I think it's too soon to proclaim Joe never catching again. We'll see what happens in the off season, who is moved/acquired, then we'll get an idea of what the plan is moving forward. My guess is Joe will still be the No. 1 catcher even if only catching half the time.
