Online Petition to Show Jake Peavy the Windy City Love

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:

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/peavywhitesox/

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.)

Can I delete this fanpost now?

So glad I went to the trouble of creating that. I guess after I saw the 20-1 flash across the screen while checking scores at work I was grasping onto anything to give me some hope for 2009. That failed miserably.

no balls either

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

Peavy

That would have been a horrible trade for the Sox. Not to mention, all the people we were going to give p for him were our top pitching prospects.

wu, it appears your son has returned under a new name

I think this technique of using the ninth inning of close ballgames as extended spring training for pitchers who’ve missed time due to injury might not be a great idea."

At least let the new guy get his feet wet before doing the inside joke thing.

That is my adopted son that U-God references.

Have you changed your user name, Dasox?

And despite the meanderings of rhythm,

you are the person U-God referenced, and it has nothing to do with spelling. U-God shoots, U-God scores.

We’re a pack of a-holes.
