What is more pathetic?
1. A. I know who Dale Sveum is.
B. I know how many homeruns he hit in 1987.
2. A. I've had a laminated seating chart of Shea Stadium in my wallet since 1998.
B. I don't need it anymore because I have it memorized.
3. A. I've complained the past two years to my director at school that the parent potluck dinner that I have to go to has been held during key playoff games (Game 6 of the ALCS and Game 7 of the NLCS in 2003 and Game 7 of the ALCS in 2004).
B. I requested this week to have the third grade parent dinner held on Monday, October 24 next year.
C. I know that barring a rainout that that date will be free of baseball thus clear for me to go out.
D. That my director is going to accomodate me and schedule the dinner on that date.

i'm surprised you knew how to spell dale sveum. we should put together a baseball spelling bee.
Wasn't one of those 13 wins a no-hitter by Juan Nieves against the O's?
and yet they failed to make the playoffs. White Sox fans take note.
youthlarge,
i like your idea. get it set up. maybe we can go to some midweek mets game where we can spread out in the upper deck and have the spelling bee.
mitch,
yes - i remember listening to the end of that game on the radio with my dad on wtop while in charlotte, nc.
jamie,
i do agree that the white sox aren't that great. but your prediction of finishing in 3rd or lower is wrong in my opinion. they are already 9 games or so up on cleveland and detroit. while both teams are fairly solid teams and should improve, i don't think they can make up 9 games on the chisox.
however, i think you might be right that chicago won't even make the playoffs considering balt has the east wrapped up which will leave boston fighting for a wild card.
