I know I have been off an on lately, but my job become a little more demanding and we just had the holiday so I’m a little slow.
The whole country is angry about the Casey Anthony verdict and who can blame anyone? The whole way this thing went down stinks. This woman did not report her two year old missing, was out partying and not showing any concern, and has been a compulsive liar throughout. However, due to the fact the state couldn’t show how the murder happened or couldn’t prove anything, this woman is walking free. Don’t blame the jury, as I read one of their accounts of what is was like in there, and this is what it says…
"I just swear to God ...," said the juror, who spoke to a reporter on condition of anonymity on Wednesday. "I wish we had more evidence to put her away. I truly do ..."
So having said that, Casey Anthony walks free, and Caylee Anthony’s body is still dead, but her spirit is in heaven with God.
I normally don’t get affected by events and what not, but when I see pictures of little Caylee, it makes me feel a whole array of emotions.
I feel angry that someone can do this to a little girl. Especially considering I have two little girls who I could never hurt, and if anyone tried to hurt them, there would be hell to pay.
I feel so sad that this little girl doesn’t get the chance to grow and learn and share memories with a normal family that doesn’t include many of the things we have heard in the last month.
I sat there shaking my head over the celebration by the attorneys and the gall of Cheney Mason flicking off everyone who saw them in the restaurant. Do you guys have the decency to celebrate your “victory” in private? I don’t get lawyers. How do they go to sleep at night?
But I’ll tell you, every time I see that little girl, it makes me want to hold my little girls tighter. They are so precious to me, and when life is so fragile it makes you want to protect them even more.
This trial reminded me of a few things. One justice is not fair all the time. Two there is the 1% chance that Casey Anthony did not murder or have anything to do with the murder, and that her father really did freak out because of the pool accident. Therefore, I think we should state our peace and move on.
However, 99% of me says she has a hand in it. Whether she did it herself or someone helped, her behavior tells a different story than the one her lawyers told. Yet, there is one thing you cannot escape and that is the judgment of God. She will have her real day in court soon. And the penalty this time will be eternal damnation, not just sitting in a cell waiting for an injection to take the pain away. No, if you murdered an innocent child, let a lone your own, the man upstairs will have something to say to you, and there will be no TMZ, Twitter, Nancy Grace, or whoever to chronicle it for you. No one to make money off of it as so many have done. No one to point the finger. The justice will be served and will be done, and you’ll bet another selfish young lady who will learn the error in her ways.

I Like the White Sox: I'm Tired
Well guys, I really don’t know what else to say. I like you have watched this season in shear disbelief. The team should be doing much better than they are, but something is not working. The team has a guy who has hit 40 home runs consistently, but this year he can’t even make it into the 20’s. The team has a guy who may be the answer to the quiet offense, but we have yet to see him play in the biggies. I don’t know about you, but quite frankly, I’m tired.
1-I’m tired of seeing great pitching performances being wasted. Danks should have 8-10 wins by now, Thornton should have 2 or 3 of his loses, and Sergio Santos should have saved that game the other night. Although there is the occasional misfire on defense, the offense on this team is baffling and I don’t know why our team can’t hit the ball.
2-I’m tired of watching Alex Rios and his lack of energy and focus. This guy could have caught two balls that barely went over the wall, but if he would have at least made a true attempt, I wouldn’t be so angry. Yet, this guys body language and movement tells me he’s happy to be making the money that he is thanks to some douche bag in Toronto who thought he was worth a king’s ransom, and he could care less about what guys and gals like you and me think.
3-I’m tired of seeing this lineup getting tinkered with every day. Alexei was fine in the two hole, why did Morel get moved up in the first place? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Sure Alexei had some issues, but damn man, doesn’t everyone on this fricking team? Why does Dunn consistently bat third now? Yes, you want pitchers to throw to Konerko, but they were pitching to him anyway. Maybe if the team did their damn jobs and played baseball, Ozzie wouldn’t be playing Othello games on the field.
4-I’m tired of Paul Konerko being passed up as an All Star two years in a row when he has been the solid rock of this team. Especially this year when the game is in his backyard in Arizona. The guy ranks high in home runs and RBIs this year as well. What did Paulie do to everyone to not earn this? And furthermore what’s with the dumb marketing slogan, Paul Star? What the hell is that?
5-I’m tired of seeing AL Central opponents get the best of the Sox. Woo hoo, we beat up on the Cubs, we swept the Red Sox, none of that means shit if we can’t beat the teams in our own division. And the best part, we can’t even beat the team in last place of our division with no name pitchers. Sigh.
6-I’m tired of seeing Adam Dunn. I want to cheer for the guy, but he can’t hit. He needs to get counseling, hitting coach, steroids, whatever. This guy needs to hit the ball damn it.
7-I’m tired of seeing the passive aggressive bullshit relationship between Ozzie Guillen and Kenny Williams. I think their bullcrap has spilled over to the team, and maybe that’s the issue. I don’t know. Maybe I’m reaching. Move Viciedo up someone. Bench the players who aren’t making it happen. Stop blaming each other and work together.
I’m tired guys. I know the theme here is redundant, but I had to put some of my thoughts here in writing. The team I love more than any other team I cheer for is really disappointing, disheartening, frustrating, baffling, mind numbing, etc, etc. Sure they are only four games or so back, and if they get their shit together, they can do this. However I am really starting to believe hope is lost. I will stand by the White Sox for the rest of my life no matter what, but I am really starting to think this season can be lost. I don’t know about you, but all in means putting your chips in when you think you have a good hand. Problem here is those pocket kings that Kenny was holding don’t mean much when you see one five, a three, a two, and two aces on the board, and the guy across from you has the other two aces in his hand.
Let’s go White Sox. Don’t let me go to sleep.
