Can you smell it? Finally, opening day has arrived. Let’s see what this White Sox team can do. I am so excited about this season, and of course I’m looking forward to seeing you guys at the meet up later this season but for now, lets throw those questions out there for y’all to ponder.
Will this DH by committee thing work out? I don’t know about you, but I’m sitting here nervous as hell. A guy we loved has now joined the team we hate, and he could have helped. Yet, we’re going ahead with the KotsayJonesQuentinRiosVizquel project. I can’t think of nothing better to make us want to go get thunder blunts to calm down due to the anxiety we will experience while one of these guys come to the plate.
Sure the rotation kicks ass, but can they stay healthy and consistent. Will Mark Buehrle refrain from throwing any perfect games or no hitters? After all, he hit the tank afterwards. Will Jake Peavy be able to jump on top of the dog pile, or will he get himself injured again only to sit on top of a different pile we won’t talk about or want to smell? Will the youngins Danks and Floyd be able to hit the ground running, and can Floyd do it without our help? And then there’s sweaty Freddie. Can he stop himself from getting shelled like in Spring Training?
Will Alex Rios play like a $13 million player, or will he be a ten cent twit?
Will Q be the superhero we all dream of, or will he be on the cutting room floor of DC Comics?
Can Matt Thornton and JJ Putz put the bromance on hold and anchor this bullpen?
Will Bobby Jenks be able to avoid little black stones in places we don’t want to think about or talk about?
Will Mark Teahen play as well as his dog tweets?
Will the savior beat the sophomore slump, or continue to light the field with his presence and of course that old hit from the 80’s by the Outfield?
Can Che hold the ball in his mitt?
How many guys will AJ throw out at second, and then out of the clubhouse. Wait, that’s Ozzie’s job. I’m telling you, one day AJ will be in charge of this team.
And finally, will Ozzie keep his job?
Yeah that’s right. If our beloved White Sox happen to be under 500 by All Star Break, he gone. If the Sox miss the playoffs, he gone! I hate to see it happen because I love him, but this whole season rests on him. He made the decisions; he pushed Kenny for the team he wanted. The White Sox need to play to save his ass. I am sure Kenny doesn’t want to get rid of him, despite what the media says. However, Kenny has people to answer to, and has a team to build. He knows what he wants, but he’s stepping back for some reason.
And golly gee people, can you wait for that reality show to hit MLB network?
Yes folks, it’s finally here. White Sox baseball, for realz. I am excited and hope you are too. Let’s enjoy it, no matter the outcome.
Oh yeah, and go Blackhawks too!!!!!
