I Like the White Sox: Reflections
Aww fuck it. That's all you can say this year.
We all got together and saw Gavin Floyd find his balls this year, and saw some excellent fireworks.
We witnessed history as Paul Konerko and Jermaine Dye both hit home run number 300 back to back against the team who may very well win this cursed division.
We watched as Scott Linebrink gave up home run after home run after home run after home run...
We saw history written as Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game and then a few more perfect innings afterwards.
We watched as Alexei Ramirez forgot to play shortstop some of the time.
We watched as a new star emerged and for Beckham not to win rookie of the year would be simply unacceptable.
We saw a great prospect get traded for the sequel of Tony Pena, which usually isn't as good as the original.
We watched as goggles and Fields butchered third base quite worse than people with long fingernails.
We watched and waited for Q to return to his dreamy self, and ended up enduring a nightmare.
We watched big Jim hit many homeruns, only to be reunited with his good friend who took a substance, but didn't kill anyone.
We watched as Scotty Podsednik wowed us all with his awesome batting average, his inability to field, and unbelievable base running errors.
We watched Bobby Jenks blow a few saves, but it must have been the kidney stones.
We watched as President Barrack Obama mispronounced Dwayne Wise's name.
We saw a $70 million player join our team to give us $10 output.
We saw our GM make a splash at free agency deadline with 2 minutes left by signing a Cy Young winning pitcher who was on the DL.
We saw our manager take his frustrations out on the poor NCAA.
Yes it was quite a year here in the south side. In some ways good, and others bad.
But at the end of the day it all boils down to one thing...
I like the White Sox.
I really appreciated all your comments, and loved meeting you all on the fateful night in early June. Especially drinking many beers with LT. Thanks for being here, and thanks for making my morning more fun coming here to the good ol' SSS.
Mike

Ah, I liked that ending.
Very classy. I’ll have to tune into next year’s series to get the full experience.
Rec’d for the nice recap.

yeah
Hmm, good times drinking beers for sure. The meetup, it seems, was so long long time ago.
Are you planning on bringing your “I Like the White Sox” next year?
