Pissing on your hands makes you a good hitter?...................... I think he said he does it to avoid blisters and such, not to be a better hitter. The kid can hit though.

You ow, now, brown, cow, listen to me (posted this elswhere, may help you)...
Becareful, be verrrryyyyy careful with your Oakland/White Sox play. Contreras is absolutely HORRENDOUS in Oakland....
3 GS, 0-2, 10.95 ERA, 12.1 IP, 16 H, 15 BB, 7 K
vs. the A's overall...
5 GS, 1-3, 7.61, 23.2 IP, 24 H, 20 BB, 15 K
The A's as an organization preach patience and Contreras' control can be a nightmare once in a while. He had a game in Oakland either last year or two year's ago when he threw upto 4 wild pitches. It was sickening. Add that to the fact that Harden's numbers vs. the Sox are amazing, I don't think the books can get me to put a single penny on the Sox on Monday. I'm a huge Sox fan and want to see them win, but I don't like our chances much like I didn't like our chances on Sunday vs. Johan Santana and the Twins (other than a pipedream bet w/ them being +173 at home).
