I Guess It's Not Bad When Your Bullpen Is Rested
Knock-knock. Who's there? Houston Astros bullpen. Houston Astros bullpen who? What about the White Sox bullpen?

What we found out tonight is that the Cotts' and Jenks' of the world aren't bad, even when matched up with the Qualls' and the Lidges. It's kind of surprising that we were even given the opportunity to figure this out with our own eyeballs, considering Ozzie Guillen's recent history of letting his starting pitchers throw until they either won the game or were assassinated.

Also, while I'm here blogging for the first time in a while, I would like to say that my lovely and talented girlfriend Beth Carney, who finished WAAAYYY ahead of me in our fantasy baseball league this year - even though I'm her mentor - brought up an interesting point while we were watching Joe Crede get interviewed for his theatrically sound performance Saturday night. "Where did he come from?" she asked. EGGZACTLY. Where did Joe come from? It is refreshing to have a guy named Joe playing this well though, I must say.

But seriously, stay tuned, actually, for a guest blogging appearance by Beth in which she will tell you why the Yankees are far from a failure, even though they have not won a World Series since the last full year of the Clintonian era.
