Community Projection: Greg Walker's Dismissal

My feelings tend to sway when i think about the White Sox this year. Honestly if things click, we can be a good ballclub. Though i'm more worried about our pitching, there is a chance the offense flounders from the gate. With all the heat on Walker last year i think (hope) that Greg is on a short leash. Before the season starts i think it would be funny to document everyone's projections to reference later. So please vote and then write it out in comments. I will treat the winner to a Jose Cuervo margarita from the cantina on the concourse.

If Jerry lives that long
I agree with Cheat.  Joined at the hip.

Well if he didnt get fired
For blaming the weather, global warming, a random fart from the first row, or other things that have little to do with hitting for a season long slump.  I remember the perfect storm of 07.  I hope that it doesnt show its ugly head this year, but rest assured if the team slumps with the stick again I will be leading the way with the pitchforks and torches.

I only hope that Richar finds Walt Hrniak this spring and keeps away from the swing killer who feels the need to tweak and break those who have a chance to hit, and then tell those who have huge issues with their swing that their swing got them here, and they need to rely on the tools that got them here to fix themselves.  Keep away from Richar.  Keep away from all of the young hitters for the love of god.

Like it or not
I just don't see him going anywhere.
I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

And to think...
...that the Sox could've saved at least $50-100 since he offered to pick up his replacement at the airport last year.
