Patio Party

The patio party was a great time, and I definately recommend it for any and all who have not done it. You get about 2 1/2 hours or so of food and drink while sitting either beneath the RF stands or up against a section of the RF fence. Of course the food is awesome, and the beer flows freely, so that always helps. I got to meet some new people from Soxtalk, which is always nice. Plus I got to hang out with lots of my favorite Sox fans, which is always a bonus.

I did also get over to see Soxtalk protegy Jeff Bajenaru, who was kind enough to chace off the overbearing security guard, and sit and talk for a few minutes before the game. He also signed a couple of baseballs for me, which will go right into the Rec Room and the other will get given away as a prize for a Soxtalk.com contest.

The game was a little disappointing as the Sox could only muster two stinking hits off a crappy rookie from Kansas City. The bright spot was the steal of home by Pablo Ozuna, as the KC pitcher threw over to first trying to keep Scott Podsednik close to the base. It was the first steal of home in 2 1/2 years for a White Sox player, and only the 2nd in the last 10 years. The Sox did end up losing 4-2 to halt their 7 game winning streak. So their magic number stays at 15 for at least one more night.
