I Like the White Sox: We're Going Streaking

Wow what a streak!  Don't want to talk too much about it because...well you know.

A month ago we were talking about a shitty 3rd baseman with funny looking googles.  We all were there to witness the resurgence of Gavin Floyd.  We were worried about the "savior" coming into the game, and wondering why in God's name did Kenny get Pods on the team.

Now, things are different.  We're kicking ass!!!!!!

It's an exciting to be a Sox fan for now.  I say for now because if history has taught us anything about this team, don't expect great things 24/7.  Perhps that can be grinder rule 232.  Remember those days?  The days of the Grinder Rules?  Wasn't that a great time to be a Sox fan?  Well, somebody pinch me, but I am feeling that feeling.  Like the Sox can do some real damage.

Ofcourse this isn't 2005.  This team obviously still has some real issues.  But I was thinking about some other teams, and their issues.  So come on we're not that bad.  Here are some of the issues other teams are having.

TWINS-First of all, I hate them.  There's their first issue.  Not that that means anything, but who was on the cover of SI last week.  That's right.  One half of the dreaded M&M's as I like to call them, Joe Mauer and his ridicoulous sideburns.  You're on the cover of SI pal.  You know what that means, you're doomed.  Injury coming around the corner buddy!!!

INDIANS-Here's a team that got swept by both Chicago teams.  I am surprised the Indian still has a big smile on his face. 

TIGERS-Maggs cut his hair, there has to be some kind of issue there. 

YANKEES-You have Swisher on your team and the class clown act only goes so far.  By August, Steinbrenner will get out of his hospital bed and strangle the little shit.

RAYS-Joe Madden didn't pick Ozzie to be on the All Star team.  This means the AL will be the NL by 3 runs instead of 5.  I guess that really doesn't have much to do with the Rays so sorry my bad on that one.

RANGERS-Those red uniforms of yours make people think that you are the Angels

ANGELS-You have issues if you have a silly ass monkey as your team mascot when you are the Angels.

PADRES-Jake Peavy didn't leave your team for the White Sox.  He left your team for the DL.

BLUE JAYS-You are holding onto a pitcher that wants to come to the White Sox, but he won't say it out loud.  He has dreamed about being on the Sox since he became a "doctor."  Let him go and you will feel better in the morning.

SEATTLE-Griffey can't save your asses, he didn't save ours last year.  Oh wait we made the playoffs.  Oh he didn't have anything to do with that, that's what I thought.  (I have respect for him, and seeing him in a Sox uniform was fun, but he isn't a "kid" anymore)

NATIONALS-You can put Washington on your uniform but you still suck.

PIRATES-Some of their fans want to jump in the river when the balls go and not come back up until this team decides to stop trading away every piece of talent they have.

BRAVES-They're OK until the 5th inning of every 5th start.

A's-No more moneyball movie for you Billy Beane.  They knew Swisher would be a topic so they scrapped it.

RED SOX-I can't think of any issues for this team.  Other than they're in Boston and that they have the word Sox on their team when we all know that the only Sox in baseball are here in Chicago, unless you ask someone on ESPN.

DODGERS-Joe Torre is "so there."

METS-They suffer from Manuelidis.  A disease our White Sox had until 2004.  As you can see, we're somewhat better because of it.

CARDINALS-They acquired an ex-Cub, who is now injured.

CUBS-They decided on a few things.  Have the Gatorade jugs instead of machines, keep a pharmacist on hand with plenty of antidepressants, figure out ways to inject HGH into average players so they can hit, and drink lots of vodka because the White Sox owned their ass last weekend.

I am sure I forgot a few so please discuss them at your leisure.

Bottom line, enjoy this stretch because when it comes to White Sox baseball, you never know what happens next.
