      Sox relievers: 2 IP, 5 K, 1 H, the rest of the line all zeros.

      Neal Cotts getting 2 strikeouts in the 8th, coming in the game 1st and 3rd nobody out, was the clutch performance of the game.

        Maybe I wasn't totally clear. I actually was bugged more by the fact that it was Liz Phair.

          Why? It could have been Rosanne Barr, after all

            She's a non-celebrity of limited talent who hahppens to be from Chicago. She moved to LA about 5 years ago, but loves to be "from Chicago" when it suits her -- helping keep her "indie cred" when her run for major-label stardom fails, or, on the flip side, in tonight's case. Pure opportunism. Many more qualified people available.

            She is, however, kinda hot, especially when she sings "I want your hot white come."

              Simply because she's totally sold out doesn't make her of 'limited talent'

                  They tried God Bless America at the Nationals games and it went over like a lead balloon. Only lasted a week or two.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                    I think this is still the staple in yankee stadium. Its kind of anoying that they seem to have a recording from like 1950 of the song.

                      IMRAN -- Did you not hear how she had to strain for the high note? She does not have great range, nor is she much of a stylist. Her notoriety is as a songwriter. Live performance has never been her strong suit.

                      She was a fish out of water in this situation.

                      Plus, I've dealt with her professionally. She's very needy and demanding, expects everything to be handed to her and feels she need give nothing in return.

                      On the upside, she likes sex and likes to sing about it, sometimes a bit on the raw side.

                      But how 'bout them White Sox!!!

                          Limited talent? You show by your words that she does indeed have talent.

                              Imran, why are you so confrontational? If one has "limited talent" of course that confirms that SOME talent is involved. But it doesn't counter my point.

                              Which is, BTW, a freaking opinion. Let's review...

                              1. I prefer "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" to "God Bless America" at the 7th inning stretch.
                              2. I feel that Liz Phair was a very poor choice to sing said song. I supported my dissing of Ms. Phair's selection with facts that I find annoying about her, including her faux Chicago heritage, and inability to deliver the song prefessionally, as evidenced by barely hitting the high note. Ms. Phair's background is as a songwriter, not a vocalist. She has a limited vocal range, which makes her choice even more questionable.

                              You keep trying to call me on this, Imran, but offer nothing in return. It seems you have nothing but contrariness to offer.

                              Again -- it's my opinion. I do believe I'm entitled to have one.

                                Of course, but it can be a dumb opinion .

                                I fail to see why Liz Phair is such a bad choice. She had a different arrangement (with the guitars) and she did grow up in Illinois. And she did recently have a popular album.

                                I mean, who else would you have picked, who had ties to the area and has been popular recently?
