Neyer's Column


Winning Ugly

Recommended Posts

They call you lady luck

But there is room for doubt

At times you have a very un-ladylike way of running out

You're on this date with me

The pickings have been lush

And yet before this evening is over you might give me the brush

You might forget your manners

You might refuse to stay

And so the best that I can do is Pray

 

Luck be a lady tonight

Luck be a lady tonight

 

Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with

Luck be a lady tonight

 

Luck let a gentleman see

Just how nice you can be

I know the way you treated

Other guys you been with

Luck be a lady with me

 

A lady doesn't leave her escort

It isn't fair

And it's not nice

A lady doesn't wander all over the room

And blow on some other guy's dice

 

Let's keep this party alight

Never get out of my sight

 

Stick with me baby, I'm the fella you came in with

Luck be a lady tonight

 

Luck let a gentleman see

Just how nice

Just how nice a dame you can be

 

I seen the way you treated

Other guys you been with

Luck be a lady with me

 

A lady doesn't leave her escort

It isn't fair

And it's not nice

A lady doesn't wander all over the room

And blow on some other guy's dice

 

Let's get this party started right

Never get out of my sight

 

Stick with me baby I'm the fella you came in with

 

Luck be a lady tonight

Luck be a lady tonight

Luck be a lady tonight

Oh, tonight

Oh, tonight

Ah, tonight

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I read this column and another one saying the Sox need a third baseman to replace Crede and a catcher, who could hit because Olivo's offense was killing the line up. They also said that the Sox needed the real Paul Konerko to show up. Well, I think PK is back and I am not sure that something as radical as getting another 3rd sacker is needed or another catcher, however, a good hitting catcher who can handle the staff might be a plus. But, who do we have to give up to accomplish that feat?

 

The Sox were called an enigma and everytime they seem out of it they come back. Gammons says the Sox are in it and will be adding players not trading them.

Doesn't Frank Sinatra sing that song?

But seriously, Neyer says the Royals should get a big bat, which might be true, but if i were them I think I'd rather pick up a Starter. Of course, if the Royals want to pick up a bat over an arm then that would be fine with me b/c we all know that good pitching beats good hitting(i.e. 2000- White Sox swept by Mariners). If they pick up another bat and end up making the playoffs, they still wont make it past the 1st round.

Frank Sinatra sings it from the musical Guys and Dolls. I only know that because my high school did the play.

 

Now that that is out of the way, I don't know of any good hitting catchers who could handle our staffs out there that are available. Jason Kendall would be it, and I would love to have him and Giles, but we aren't gonna pay for that I don't think. There just aren't that many good hitting catchers out there. At third base I think Crede could get hot again like he did at the end of last year, and that we should stick with him.

 

There's my two cents.
