Hey all...like every other die-hard White Sox fan, I was quite enthralled with the breaking news this morning that the Sox and Padres were nearing a deal that would send Jake Peavy to Chicago.  I was even more enthralled when I heard that a deal have been agreed upon in principle.  But I was a little less enthralled after reading that Peavy would have to waive his no-trade clause and might be unwilling to do so.

As some schmuck with a website, there isn't much I can do but I figured I'd whatever I could.  So, I create an online petition where Sox fans everywhere can sign up and show Jake Peavy some Windy City love.  Who knows if it could have any effect (perhaps not) but it can't hurt for him to know that the fan base he could go to will be welcoming him with open arms.  Here is the link to the petition.  Go there and sign up, then come right back here to SSS:

I'll do my part to help promote, but obviously the more signatures the better, and the more likely it is that Jake Peavy might actually glance at it.

(Note: Not trying to promote my own cause here Cheat, only the White Sox's.  And staring at a 20-1 final from today, it looks like we need Jake Peavy more than ever to defend our Central crown.)
