Hey Guys! It's Your Old Pal, OC.

Hello from warm, sunny Colombia! Wow, how things have changed in just a few months! That Kenny Williams sure strikes fast, huh. Adam Dunn is the exact opposite of me - I guess that's why he has a job, haha! And Kenny managed to get rid of Linebrink. Boy did that guy suck. Me and Alexei used to make fun of him in Spanish when he came on to pitch. The redneck had no idea!
Listen, the reason I'm calling is that I've heard you guys are getting new management soon and he's bringing with him some new rules. And those rules include that your old pal, OC, can't call anymore and that gorgeous vixen, Mrs. Cowley, can't be mentioned anymore. This can mean only one thing: Joe Cowley is the new Managing Editor of South Side Sox.
I urge each of you to resist this turn of events. As larry previously discussed, SSS was once great and can be again. But not with Joe Cowley at the helm. He's a complete dick. He'd probably spend most of the time ripping on what other White Sox bloggers are writing about instead of doing important things like game recaps and banning those who violate logic.
At any rate, since I probably won't ever talk to you guys again, good luck with the transition. If this place sucks, remember: there's always Sox Machine. And say hi to Mrs. Cowley for me (while you still can)!

Yeah my favorite part of that day was when the Twins completed a late-season 3-game sweep of the Sox
errrr… uh wait… maybe not so glorious
no way dude
OC calling in is a great segment! don’t kill it off! or, at least, maybe guest post it at Sox Machine?
I for one welcome my new Cowley Overload.

i'm fighting for the mailbag. SSSers must know who the hot Dutch honkballers on Mr. Cocker HCAW are.
I'm just happy the Sox re-signed Konerko.
Now he can finally be traded to LA for van der Wiel and a bag of balls.
The sky IS falling.
So you're required to mark your posts as satire now?

it's not a requirement
it’s a tag that files them away into the satire archive. he’s always done it.
When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a doctor or a fireman. I wanted to be Super Mario. It's the most literal pipe dream I've ever had.
this is probably my favorite email exchange, regarding one of Tdogg's beloved mailbags (for those unclear, the first part is the question i answered)
We always enjoy getting questions here at SSS so let’s delve right in.
What do you hear about the plans for the future of Jared Mitchell? Since his game seems to be more advanced at a young age, like Gordon Beckham’s clearly is, do you think we might be seeing him getting a real chance next season?
— Mike, Georgetown, Texas
Mike, I have no clue where you heard that Mitchell is advanced. That’s crazy talk. He might get a “real chance” at Birmingham next season. In the future, please do some research before wasting our time.
WTF is your problem. I frequent this site a bit, and that is about as trollish as a person can get. You guys run this site, you are a minor league writer (or something, whatever it is you have to call yourself to sleep at night), and you respond to someones question in this manner, questions you typed “we always enjoy getting…”
You are a fucking asshole.
Yes, I am. You should note, however, that the post was placed under “Satire” and was me taking questions posed to Scott Merkin, mlb.com’s White Sox writer. It’s humor. Many people like it. Others don’t. Your distaste is noted.
No, if you meant it as a joke, I am the ass. If I am going to call someone an ass, I better be ready to get it back. If you meant it as a joke, I am sorry, I am an idiot, not the first or last time. Thanks for getting back to me so promptly, GO SOX!!!
i'm getting whooshed, i know about the satire mailbag, but did you make up that exchange?
i insist the mailbag is kept post coup d-etat

Time does heal all wounds, so they say, and the hurt of October faded, with winter waning, and the sunshine of spring beaming down on fresh baseball fields, bringing the promise of a new year, the "Wait till next year" that never seems to come for us as Cubs fans.

DailyKos has made it imperative that people post no more than enough to get a flavor, and then post a link, and AP is pretty much off limits. Posting copywritten photos that one has no permission is enough to get one banned.
However, he does that because there would be a political motive for some news sites to sue the shit out of him and his site. AP or ESPN isn’t exactly trolling here looking to stir up trouble, but it’s always a good habit to fall into.

For anyone interested in this game
Don Dellilo’s novel ‘Underworld’ is all about this. The opening chapter is set at this game…the characters in the chapter is the person who got the ball and the person who lost the ball….and Gleason, Hoover and Sinatra, who were apparently in attendance. The whole story revolves around whether or not this ball exists and people enrich and ruin their lives based off of Branca and Thompson’s famous moment.

The prose is pretty smooth but I can see how someone might be disinterested in following a book that starts in the past, then goes to the furthest point in the future and works its way back to the beginning past.
