Scatching out the wins
Another come-from-behind win for the White Sox. This team just refuses to go down.
Some people just refuse to give this team credit. But it's a team with good quality pitching and hitters who can scrap together runs to get ahead.
Notes:
1. Little lineup shuffling by Ozzie, putting Aaron Rowand at the 3 spot. While he was only 1-for-4, he delivered when it counted for the second night in a row with a 2-run game winning single.
2. Jose Contreras is pitching pretty well. In the past, he would have fallen apart in situations like the 5th inning. But he kept his head in the game and got it together. Again, it simply cannot be overemphasized how good the White Sox starters have been throughout the season in staying in the ballgame for six innings or more. It keeps the 'pen fresh for the latter part of the season.
3. Cliff Politte is simply dominating these days. I don't quite know what clicked, but he's simply blowing hitters away with his fastball.
4. It was great to see Frank Thomas get a standing ovation. He deserves all the accolades and applause he gets from the Chicago crowd. And his presence in the dugout and the field makes this team instantly better.
Concern:
Why does Ozzie insist on playing the likes of Willie Harris and Timo Perez so often? There's a reason why they're coming off the bench, and the Sox have enough off days to give the starters (i.e. Iguchi) some long stretches of playing time. It's important to keep the reserves fresh, but you can do that through defensive substitutions (Harris has better range than Iguchi) or pinch runners (Konerko, Everett and Thomas are all station to station runners).
All in all, it was a good series. The Sox get Kansas City at home, then the Cubs for another series with an off-day sandwiched in between. They should make the most out of the extended home stay.

You can pass some time, relieve some stress, and spend time with family and friends playing computer games. Today's versatile video games can help achieve everything from fitness to improved intellect. Figure out how you can have the best time gaming by using the article that follows.
Look on the Internet for hints and recommendations when you are starting to play a game. When you can't get past a particular level, it can be greatly irritating, and result in a lack of desire to play it further. This will help you to get to the next level and enjoy the rest of the game.
If you want to sell your games on the Internet, you have to describe them in as much detail as possible. This description should include what type of condition the game is in and how it plays. Anyone who purchases this from you would like to be aware of these important details. By making your description as detailed as possible, you are increasing the odds that you'll sell your game.
Try gaming with your kids. This can be a great way to bond with any children in the household and it's fun, as well as safe. You will also have the opportunity to ensure the games your kids play are appropriate for your family.
Be cautious of online gaming. Sometimes you must pay a monthly fee for access. If your kids want to join a site that many of their friends are using, make sure that you take a look at it first. Evaluate the advantages of the games you find against the monthly fees that are charged.
Research and understand the rating system used for computer games. Some games are not meant for children, so consider this fact when shopping for games. Each game will have a specific rating ranging from Early Childhood (EC) to Adults Only (AO). Be sure to choose an appropriately-rated game, especially if it is a gift designed for someone else.
If you are thinking about purchasing a computer game for a child, you may want to look into what each ESRB rating means. These ratings help you learn what games are best for your kid's age level so that you can avoid inappropriate content. The ratings tell you which games are appropriate.
If you are buying a new gaming system, make sure that everything works after you purchase it. Even if you're not going to use every accessory for it, check the various ports to see if they're in working condition. If you discover a problem months after your purchase, such as a broken headphone jack, you won't be able to exchange the console for a new one.
You shouldn't play online gaming all day long; keep it down to a couple of hours at most. Playing these games can lead to an addiction, which can impact your social life. Do not exceed more than three hours of game play per day. If you have sessions longer than that, make sure you are taking breaks often.
Buying a new game is tougher than you may think. You might waste a lot of money on a game you end up hating. Read game reviews before making a purchase.
Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.
You can get many hours of enjoyment from many different kinds of online gaming. Use this advice to make the best from your computer game purchases. The world of video gaming has evolved into a highly competitive market with games for everyone.
Games are very popular and provide entertainment for all kinds of people. Most homes have at least a single gaming platform. Obviously that shouldn't mean that you already are aware of everything there is to know about computer games. Use this article to provide you with some great suggestions to enhance all that your video gaming have to offer.
Be sure to verify a game's rating prior to letting kids play. Some games contain violent or inappropriate content that is not intended for anyone under 18. Do not let your children play these games or watch while you play. If a game is violent, it can have negative affects on sleep and behavior of young kids.
Instead of a computer, try a regular gaming system system for your kids gaming pleasure. It is easier to control things like privacy and content on a system than it is on a PC. They may have a much more protected experience with a ps3.
Make the screen brighter. If you can't see the game, you won't be able to play well. You may find that you're frequently being attacked because you can't see. Increase the brightness so you do not miss anything, even if it ruins the dark atmosphere of the game. It will make the colors easier to distinguish and you'll be able to spot your enemies before they spot you.
Should you have a ps3 repaired or just get a new one? If you break your system, then you should consider upgrading, not repairing it. That's because the cost you will incur from the repair could exceed the cost of purchasing a brand new system. Consider upgrading your current system, or check out an all new gaming system. You're going to have to get a new one eventually. You might as well do it now.
Learn all you can about the gaming console's content and safety settings. There is usually a setting to keep young children from accessing potentially inappropriate content. The most advanced systems will even give you the option to customize the settings for each user like a computer would.
Keep an eye on kids playing games online. There are games that tell you that with online play it might change the rating. Also watch the chat to see what your child is saying or saying to others. You should ensure your kids are not seeing anything inappropriate when they are playing in this situation.
You can sell your old video games with the use of online ads. EBay is a tool that you can use to get your games on the market, but don't use it first. Sometimes there can be issues with shipping when selling from eBay, but if you understand what you are doing, it is a great way to sell your games. Try Craigslist, or use the marketplace app on Facebook.
Some of the most reveled games ever made are classics. Play them! You will also save tons of money this way. Some are available online for quite a deal.
Buying a new game is tougher than you may think. You might waste a lot of money on a game you end up hating. Read game reviews before making a purchase.
Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.
There are games in which you can shoot, solve puzzles, drive, fly, fight, etc, so keep reading to find out more! Video Games allow us to take on a persona that we couldn't have in the real world so they're fun to play. Keep gaming!
