We’ve been winning a lot of games lately. This is a winning club. I prefer winning to losing, especially in April. If we win one more time then it’ll be nine in a row, which will be one more than the streak we had last October against LA and Houston. That might indicate that this year’s team is better than the one that won the World Series last year, but I’m not sure about that. It’s a long season.

I watched Bobby Jenks eat a ten-egg omelette for dinner last Wednesday. Later that night he saved the game in the ninth. That’s unbelievable. The guys in the bullpen said he had terrible gas all night though.

I won’t ever drive with Freddy Garcia. Never again. He can’t hold his lane and listens to nothing but ABBA and Cher … I like “The Winner Takes It All”, sometimes, but that’s about it.

Very exciting finish in last night’s Washington-Atlanta game … by the end of the year, I could have more World Series titles than Bobby Cox, then I could retire … Nick Johnson grounded out with two men on to end it, 3-1. Johnson weighs 20 pounds less than Bobby Jenks, or so I’ve been told because I’ve never seen him in a towel.

What will I buy Jon Garland for his birthday this year? Last year I gave him a bottle of rum, this year maybe a strip-o-gram would be better.

Baseball is crazy. Last week our starting five won five straight games. They went 5-0 with a 0.97 ERA. That’s crazy, man. How do they do it? They make me look like the smartest manager ever. I have street smarts. Those guys are so good, I don’t even have to use my street smarts. Maybe I should start working on my book smarts? I hear that they made a movie about “The DaVinci Code” and it’s coming out next month. Maybe I should finally read that book? It’s probably best to read the book before seeing the movie. Vasquez pitches on Tuesday against Seattle, that sounds like a good time to start reading a new book.

I’m glad Paul Konerko chose to stay with the White Sox. He has five homers so far this year and all of them were hit out of the park. He’s been in the league only nine years and he already has more homers than I hit in my entire major league career. I hit 28 and he has 214. I was a faster runner than him though. In fact, I’m still faster.

My cousin phoned me today and said it was 79 degrees in Caracas. It was 66 degrees in Chicago today … for my money, you just can’t do better for cheese than a nice smoked gouda.

Ozzie Guillen is the manager of the Chicago White Sox. He was the AL Rookie of the Year in 1985, was a three-time AL All-Star, and doesn’t understand the point of marble cheddar.
