2011: A Stream of UnConsciousness Recap
I can't fucking wait for the season to start, this is gonna be the best year eva! Look who we gots in our lineups, this is gonna be awesome, YES! look at that lineup, Dunn is gonna be great, Q! is all good again, I can't wait for the next game, I hate having the first tuesday of the season off, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, fuck you podsnoir, easy heat you son of a fucking bitch, not you too Sale! What happened to Donkey? that appendix surgery got him out of his inevitable late spring training groove, it's okay, he'll be fine, small sample size, thanks for talking me off the ledge craig, fuck you soxfanCT you curse every gamethread you involve yourself in, oh fuck Humber is pitching, well….that went well…maybe we can make it until peavey comes back, I hope he shuts his mouth and holsters his six-shooters, that sure would be nice, man this team makes me drunk, is mechanicalturk really an expat soxmachinist? What the fuck was he doing hanging out with those puds? Humber for Cy Young, the best sixth starter in the league, how could the Royals not have signed him when they have Bruce Chen on their roster? Why are you making him bunt? Why!? Its still early in the season, no reason to panic it’s a long summer, Catch the fucking ball you assholes, bacon looks like a young steve sax in the field but a poor man's Mike Gallego at the plate, he'll get hot, speaking of hot look at Alexei out of the gates for once, 20 HR's from the missile, Lillibridge is our best player! Wow, he fucking sucks, no doubt about it…tdogg is worried about sandancer, should I be too? Nah, the guy gets paid too much money to suck a taint biscuit all season, why does Donkey swing through all these pitches? Does he need lasik? Nah, he does this all the time, he's a lock for 30 HR's, what the fuck catch the fucking ball outfielders, maybe kenwo was right about having Viciedo up to start the season but Q! has been hitting the piss out of the ball, maybe they could put him in left since Pierre keeps getting thrown out and dropping balls, man he looks like shit, who the fuck is Masterson and how could we let the twain no-hit us? Fuck my life, the Indians are going to run away with this, yeah right! The Twins will be right there, we should edge them out once we start hitting the ball, we shouldn't have a closer but if we do Santos looks like he should be the guy, easy heat and podsnoir singlehandedly have us double digits out of first, wasting good starting pitching, Peavy looked great in his first start maybe we should make him the closer since Humber is an all-star pitcher, it’s a long summer no reason to panic, herr teahenz has sure looked good at the plate, maybe I don't hate him as much as I thought and he is clean in the field too, maybe we should trade him and Edwin Jackson for Colby Rasmus, that makes a lot of sense, if we can't do that maybe we should just trade them for some hair, Q should be traded for a Beachy since we need a 7th starter, the White Sox management sure are geniuses for a 6 man rotation, lets make Beachy our closer, Bruce fucking Chen, we're still close, we'll put together an extended streak, the division is ours to win off paper and on, it goes without saying, hope, hope, hope, I smell .500 and it smells like a polish sausage, even a blind squirrel finds a nut, who is on first? .500? what's on second? A 10 game losing streak, it was dumb to bunt there, what's our stolen base ratio? Donkey is a fat fuck, this guy can't DH, his brain hurts too much when he DH's, we should bench him but how can we bench a contract, sandancer might have to be benched too…too many DP's (twprs), KW wants to bench 56 million but no one listens because he can't understand English, jesus fucking Christ bench those fucks, they'll probably bring up Viciedo after the allstar break, blog guys don't know anything but every thing will be fine soon because we don't suck, this is an 87 win team, Donkey is the worst player in the history of the game I think, he needs to be cut to save money or maybe we could save money on bunts, we own the Twain! The twain curse is over, what the fuck is this lineup, Cy Humber? No longer, Cy Chen, why can't we hit soft-tossing lefties? Check your facts craig, we're only a couple of games out, Verlander, bobpuller, verlander, VMart is so awesome wish we had signed him to catch fulltime, Deaza is our best player way to beat Scherzer singlehandedly, where is the pimpchrist for fucksake? I hate Ozzie and I blame KW for making me hate Ozzie, I hate Ozzie, does Ozzie hate me? it sure seems like he hates me, personally, why the fuck would you bunt him over there? thank god the worst player in MLB history is batting cleanup, he'll turn it around, he needs to stop eating cheeseburgers and swing a stick, even on Christmas!, you suck, fuck! A new contract? Go fuck yourself, you suck, you make every player who plays for you suck more, way to fuck everything up, fuck, fuck fuck, fuck, can we trade Ozzie for a month of Pujols? Cy Humber not Chen! will our record be better than the cubs record? when are the sox playing? are they on TV? Finally!

Absolutely, I love stuff that is unconventional
I write from the heart, and that is why I’m always all over the place. I am not one of the smart baseball guys. I see what I see, and write how I feel about it. Some of the old school guys here don’t appreciate my stuff, but I can’t change who I am, nor would I want to. You have seemed to appreciate it and I thank you for that.
I haven’t posted anything because most of the stuff I wrote was really vile and angry. I felt it was better just to step back and not post right now.

This is great. I started a similar type post last month but never got around to finishing it.
I wanted it to be a collection of quotes and links to articles for the 2011 year. It was just too much work right now. Below is the title and the first few quotes I tracked down as I got thru Feb. Perhaps I’ll have the heart to finish later.
I’ll call it The Unbearable Lightness of Stupidity
“It’s uncomfortable sometimes, but you either are all in or you are out. And if you are not, then present that message to your fans. Be straight and say, ‘I don’t think we are going to do very much, and here’s the plan going forward.’ If you are in it, stand up and show you are.” — GM Ken Williams 1/27/2011
Off Season
‘Cuban Tank’ maneuvers to Chicago’s outfield (January)
“He’s been directed to work out there, work as much as possible so we can play him out there in the spring and see how he can do,” said White Sox general manager Ken Williams. "From what I understand, he’s done very well so far.
“You guys saw the way the ball came off his bat last year. I think he has the potential to be very special and we have to find a place for him to play. But we get in a win mode from year to year. We try to put the best team out there, and now we have some long-term answers at those two places, so I’d like to find a place for him to play.”
White Sox still cautious about Peavy’s recovery
“He’s very optimistic and he’s very positive, and we are going to be very judicious in how we formulate a plan for him,” Williams said prior to Friday’s start of SoxFest ‘11 at the Palmer House Hilton in downtown Chicago. "He’s going to absolutely have to prove he’s healthy and ready to go out.
“We want a full and healthy season, not only for Chicago, the White Sox this year, but for next year’s White Sox — and I don’t know how many years are left on his contract. He had a good [contract], a real good one.”
February
White Sox bracing for unknown in Peavy’s rehab
As Williams definitively stated, there will be no gray area in regard to Peavy’s health. The general manager even joked that he has taken up boxing to prepare for this battle with Peavy.
“I’ve been increasing my workouts because I might have to fight him to keep him off the mound. So, buy your ticket,” said Williams with a laugh. “He just isn’t going out there unless he’s healthy.”
Don’t doubt Williams’ sentiment. Williams tried to put the brakes on Peavy last June when he had arm soreness causing his start to be skipped in Pittsburgh, but Peavy admitted he was going well and wanted to pitch through. They didn’t know, at the time, what was about to transpire.
Dunn comes out swinging, but only after winter hibernation
I’ve tried it both ways," Dunn said. “I’ve started hitting around Thanksgiving [in other years] and I just felt like it works better for me … because I’m going to get into bad habits if I’m hitting by myself.”
Don’t worry there is plenty of Ozzie (mostly in season). Dunn, Rios and Kenwo’s favorite Greg Walker. Stay tuned.

excellent, I'm sure there will be lots of recaps here
some good, some bad…I wanted mine to be first. All I did was start typing what was in my memory, trying to go from month to month.
I like. Very good.
I couldnt remember half this stuff until I read it here. My mind puts up firewalls to protect myself from painful memories.
I shant be misled a second time

What part of SOUn didn't you get?
Trying to score runs with Juan Pierre as your leadoff hitter is like trying to suture a wound in a moving car. You might still be successful -- but why make it so hard on yourself?
(TWPRS) deserves a rec of it's own. The rest was great too.

7 month dialogue
March WS: hey, been a long time. We have a strong lineup. Should be a great year. All in!
Me: cool, very excited as well. We must fare well against our Division.
April WS: hey, slow start…we’re coming around.
Me: yeah, I’m with you. Long season
May WS: Pitching rocky, but we’re adjusting.
Me: we need to get big bats going
June WS: Warm weather brings warm bats.
Me: yeah, well…all the bats aren’t all that "smokey" just yet.
July WS: the big bats gar-un-tee to throw this team on their backs
Me: Back of baseball card says this must happen!
August WS: our pitching is keeping us in this race
Me: yes it has, but the holes in lineup haven’t quite lived up to their bargain
September WS: Too bad it didn’t work out. Long season, tired club, stressed management, blah, blah, blah
Me: GFY WS!
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, 1/2 pack of cigarettes...it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
I am hoping this will become SBN Chicago editor's pick
