The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Excerpting Jim's Game 2 preview
http://soxmachine.com/blogs/soxmachine/archive/2008/09/24/13935.aspx
Buehrle rebounded from one bad start against the Twins earlier in the Cell by smashing a dugout heater with a bat. And while Buehrle is 13-7 with a 3.47 ERA since, I’m not sure property damage can be counted upon as a cure the next time around.That said, it’s inexcusable for Ozzie Guillen to put anything besides his best defense behind Buehrle, which chiefly means no General Soreness in center. It should be Brian Anderson, but I’d take Jerry Owens, Nick Swisher, Dewayne Wise, Jason Bourgeois — I really don’t care as long as it’s not Ken Griffey Jr.
If Guillen makes that change, then it’s all on Buehrle to get the job done in the biggest game of the Sox’s season to date. That’s precisely why they’re paying him $56 million over the next four years, and precisely why they drastically limited his spring workload. Put the good gloves behind him, and he has no excuses.

This "Jim" fellow seems to know a thing or two about the Sox.
Who is he?

I'm pretty sure it will be Griffey in CF
What with him driving in 3 runs yesterday (one on a double play…great job there). I think with the Sox offense in shambles, Ozzie will be scared not have Griffey in the lineup.
My vote obviously goes to BA (or even Swisher).

yes. unfortunately, being the only one -literally - who can claim to be hitting recently gets him a spot in the lineup. and probably deservedly. now position...

We will all remember how the death of Cheat and Q! directly correlated with the Sox's demise
Christopher Michaels and his ugly Google Image counterparts have ruined a proud franchise.

I’m incapable of anger. When every class I’m taking has take-home exams I’m a happy camper. Your alma matter is seemingly more interested with making their campus the prettiest in Chicago than challenging their students.

You'd be surprised at the changes....most of them actually useful
The prettying up is stupid, but find me a top 100 university that didn’t waste money on making their university appealing, especially when you’re in such a racially diverse neighborhood that might scare the sheltered suburban kids.

I am a little pissed at the poor quality of some of my former teachers. However, the campus is looking extremely nice. This can only mean good things for the school.

Plus, as a Loyola student, IIRC,
you just might be Catholic or Jesuit. It was said in jest.
Reminds me of a great comment somewhere in the Muslim world after the cartoon about Mohammed, aq couple of years ago – “It is when we are told we are intolerant that we get violent!.” (Paraphrasing.)
