I know I have been off an on lately, but my job become a little more demanding and we just had the holiday so I’m a little slow.
The whole country is angry about the Casey Anthony verdict and who can blame anyone? The whole way this thing went down stinks. This woman did not report her two year old missing, was out partying and not showing any concern, and has been a compulsive liar throughout. However, due to the fact the state couldn’t show how the murder happened or couldn’t prove anything, this woman is walking free. Don’t blame the jury, as I read one of their accounts of what is was like in there, and this is what it says…
"I just swear to God ...," said the juror, who spoke to a reporter on condition of anonymity on Wednesday. "I wish we had more evidence to put her away. I truly do ..."
So having said that, Casey Anthony walks free, and Caylee Anthony’s body is still dead, but her spirit is in heaven with God.
I normally don’t get affected by events and what not, but when I see pictures of little Caylee, it makes me feel a whole array of emotions.
I feel angry that someone can do this to a little girl. Especially considering I have two little girls who I could never hurt, and if anyone tried to hurt them, there would be hell to pay.
I feel so sad that this little girl doesn’t get the chance to grow and learn and share memories with a normal family that doesn’t include many of the things we have heard in the last month.
I sat there shaking my head over the celebration by the attorneys and the gall of Cheney Mason flicking off everyone who saw them in the restaurant. Do you guys have the decency to celebrate your “victory” in private? I don’t get lawyers. How do they go to sleep at night?
But I’ll tell you, every time I see that little girl, it makes me want to hold my little girls tighter. They are so precious to me, and when life is so fragile it makes you want to protect them even more.
This trial reminded me of a few things. One justice is not fair all the time. Two there is the 1% chance that Casey Anthony did not murder or have anything to do with the murder, and that her father really did freak out because of the pool accident. Therefore, I think we should state our peace and move on.
However, 99% of me says she has a hand in it. Whether she did it herself or someone helped, her behavior tells a different story than the one her lawyers told. Yet, there is one thing you cannot escape and that is the judgment of God. She will have her real day in court soon. And the penalty this time will be eternal damnation, not just sitting in a cell waiting for an injection to take the pain away. No, if you murdered an innocent child, let a lone your own, the man upstairs will have something to say to you, and there will be no TMZ, Twitter, Nancy Grace, or whoever to chronicle it for you. No one to make money off of it as so many have done. No one to point the finger. The justice will be served and will be done, and you’ll bet another selfish young lady who will learn the error in her ways.

I Like the White Sox: I'm Tired
Well guys, I really don’t know what else to say. I like you have watched this season in shear disbelief. The team should be doing much better than they are, but something is not working. The team has a guy who has hit 40 home runs consistently, but this year he can’t even make it into the 20’s. The team has a guy who may be the answer to the quiet offense, but we have yet to see him play in the biggies. I don’t know about you, but quite frankly, I’m tired.
1-I’m tired of seeing great pitching performances being wasted. Danks should have 8-10 wins by now, Thornton should have 2 or 3 of his loses, and Sergio Santos should have saved that game the other night. Although there is the occasional misfire on defense, the offense on this team is baffling and I don’t know why our team can’t hit the ball.
2-I’m tired of watching Alex Rios and his lack of energy and focus. This guy could have caught two balls that barely went over the wall, but if he would have at least made a true attempt, I wouldn’t be so angry. Yet, this guys body language and movement tells me he’s happy to be making the money that he is thanks to some douche bag in Toronto who thought he was worth a king’s ransom, and he could care less about what guys and gals like you and me think.
3-I’m tired of seeing this lineup getting tinkered with every day. Alexei was fine in the two hole, why did Morel get moved up in the first place? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Sure Alexei had some issues, but damn man, doesn’t everyone on this fricking team? Why does Dunn consistently bat third now? Yes, you want pitchers to throw to Konerko, but they were pitching to him anyway. Maybe if the team did their damn jobs and played baseball, Ozzie wouldn’t be playing Othello games on the field.
4-I’m tired of Paul Konerko being passed up as an All Star two years in a row when he has been the solid rock of this team. Especially this year when the game is in his backyard in Arizona. The guy ranks high in home runs and RBIs this year as well. What did Paulie do to everyone to not earn this? And furthermore what’s with the dumb marketing slogan, Paul Star? What the hell is that?
5-I’m tired of seeing AL Central opponents get the best of the Sox. Woo hoo, we beat up on the Cubs, we swept the Red Sox, none of that means shit if we can’t beat the teams in our own division. And the best part, we can’t even beat the team in last place of our division with no name pitchers. Sigh.
6-I’m tired of seeing Adam Dunn. I want to cheer for the guy, but he can’t hit. He needs to get counseling, hitting coach, steroids, whatever. This guy needs to hit the ball damn it.
7-I’m tired of seeing the passive aggressive bullshit relationship between Ozzie Guillen and Kenny Williams. I think their bullcrap has spilled over to the team, and maybe that’s the issue. I don’t know. Maybe I’m reaching. Move Viciedo up someone. Bench the players who aren’t making it happen. Stop blaming each other and work together.
I’m tired guys. I know the theme here is redundant, but I had to put some of my thoughts here in writing. The team I love more than any other team I cheer for is really disappointing, disheartening, frustrating, baffling, mind numbing, etc, etc. Sure they are only four games or so back, and if they get their shit together, they can do this. However I am really starting to believe hope is lost. I will stand by the White Sox for the rest of my life no matter what, but I am really starting to think this season can be lost. I don’t know about you, but all in means putting your chips in when you think you have a good hand. Problem here is those pocket kings that Kenny was holding don’t mean much when you see one five, a three, a two, and two aces on the board, and the guy across from you has the other two aces in his hand.
Let’s go White Sox. Don’t let me go to sleep.

I Like the White Sox: Concerned
So I have to talk about the White Sox again. Not that this is a bad thing, as I enjoy talking about the White Sox. However, I believe that things are a bit hairy right now and I have seven concerns. Perhaps, you guys can help address them.
1-First off, Larry. Nice job on how you handled Daily Herald report Scot Gregor. He tried to, as all reporters do, pass you off as a kid in mom’s basement writing about baseball, and I believe you held your own and told him what time it was. Very good. On a side note, I would like to say that I have been a member of South Side Sox now for quite a while (and have been keeping up with Sox Machine forever), and some of the things said by the members here make me proud to be here. Although I write quite weird and crazy stuff and try to contribute in my own special way, I think you guys rule. You guys make great arguments, remarks, statements and posts that help me understand baseball better, and you guys are funny as hell. Even when I get ripped on. However, I wanted to get to the point. I like Larry’s theory, but quite frankly the whole he said, she said bullshit between Ozzie and Kenny is getting old. If you both believe he’s ready, and in one ear I hear Kenny saying “if the manager isn’t ready for him, I have too much respect to bring him up now” and in the other Ozzie says “just tell me who to send down and when to play him and I will.” You know I feel like a tweet from Oney is on the horizon here for some reason. I, as a fan am getting tired of the passive aggressive bullshit between two grown men. And if I am getting tired of it, I can assure you some people in the clubhouse are as well. Does this have anything to do with some people struggling? I don’t know. However, if you pull the veil off, I really do believe they could be posturing for the July date. If Gregor can remember anything, wouldn’t he remember how much of a ball buster Scott Boras is if given the opportunity?
2-OK. I am getting tired of all the excuses people are giving Adam Dunn. Yes I have heard he played in the National Leauge his whole career, he has never been on a competing team, he was lazy over the winter, he’s not used to being a DH, etc, etc. Let’s talk about that for a moment shall we. About the National Leauge, I can think of a couple of guys who went from National to American and have bat under 200 like Dunn. Both Miguel Cabrera and Adrian Gonzalez (who are far superior to Dunn) came into the AL, and their performance hasn’t dropped. They have stayed pretty consistent with numbers they were putting up in the NL. And Gonzalez is in the toughest division in the AL mind you. Cabrera has actually improved his numbers as he goes. Dunn was brought to the Sox for his high number of HRs and walks. He is on pace to finish the year with 20 home runs if lucky. That is less than half. When he has a glove, he definitely can’t play OF, but he always could hit. I just want to see the guy produce. I am sick of excuses.
3-I keep hearing “the Ranger” on the Score talk about why we shouldn’t get rid of Juan Pierre and his money. Juan Pierre this year has done nothing and the money itself has gotten pissed away already. Ozzie seems to want to defend him all the time and talk about how there are guys who have done worse. Be that as it may, but Juan Pierre is owed $8.5 million for this year, being his last. Dunn and Rios (who are doing worse than him) are owed a lot more than that over many more years. Pierre anyone can agree is the easiest person to cut ties with to bring Viciedo up.
4-Alex Rios, you are my daughter’s favorite because she is 3. If she were 10 years older, she would yell at me that you were still on the team. Every time I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, you give me reasons to not. Give Ozzie two points for benching you. And we’re stuck with this frickin shit for 3 more years is it? Well gee, rape me gently with a chainsaw.
5-Johnny Danks, you are the man and you’re going to the DL. Life really sucks. This means Jake Peavy must go to bulldog form instead of pit bull form. We can only hope Johnny gets better, and Jake doesn’t injure himself drinking a cup of Gatorade or throwing a pitch, or whatever.
6-Another question for you guys, is AJ Perzynski going nutty? Calls out Floyd, speaks to Peavy in the tunnel…is he getting tired of all the drama that our wonderful Chicago media speaks of.
7-And finally, how do you rate this team compared to the last 2 years? I see way too many similarities and its getting old.
Final thought: I feel like as a fan, I am confused and frusturated. Sure the Sox are only 5 games back or so, and 4 games under, so all hope shouldn’t be loss. But you keep hearing about all the drama listed above, and it only puts gas on the fire.

Quote of the day: “To suggest the White Sox would purposely keep Viciedo in the minors due to a contract issue immediately tells me you don't know how this team does business.Yeah well Scot ever think about covering those teams? Might suit your shitty attitude better pal.
The Sox aren’t the Pirates or the Marlins or the Royals.”-Scot Gregor.

"Hold Up That Fucking Cubs Shit"
Yep. Those were the famous words muttered by Patti Blagojevich, the wife of the former governor of Illinois who if not careful, may get a “Rod” somewhere he won’t like. Although the sentencing hasn’t been handed down yet, it’s reasonable to assume Rod Blagojevich may be going to the slammer.
Yes you had your appearances in silly ass plays. You had your little radio show on WLS AM. You always quote Elvis because you’re a douche bag, and you got to ride on the co-tails of real celebrities on Donald Trump’s overdone reality show as well. You were shaking hands outside of the courtroom like you were campaigning to get back into Springfield. The problem was, your voters were the jury in the courtroom, and they were not impressed. No jurors held things up this time. It was guilty mother fucker guilty.
And to top of it all off, you’re a Cub fan. Let this be a lesson to all Cub fans, nothing good ever happens to them. Their team loses, and sometimes they do too. I’m kidding. Don’t get all sensitive on me you stoners. And if you want to laugh here are the phone calls transcribed.
Amway, here’s what we have for today.
Uno-TO on the DL permanently? Hmmm. When you hear the words “Dr. James Andrews” it usually is the kiss of death. No more drama, no more wondering what team will he be on next, no more popcorn, is he really done? I don’t think so, but we’ll see what happens if and when the season starts.
Due-Atlanta moved their hockey team to Winnipeg. And then the hockey team called themselves “the Winnipeg Jets.” Yeah, that’s never been done before.
Tre-Rumors were buzzing Friday about how O.J. Simpson was going to confess to murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman to Oprah Winfrey. Then rumors circulated that Goldman’s Dad was going to be on TV again, so Oprah’s people shot it down.
Quattro-Stan Bowman, who is the son of Scott, but really sounds like the father decided to detonate more pieces of the Chicago Blackhawks 2010 Stanley Cup Final squad. Troy Brouwer, gone! Brian Campbell, gone and back with Dale Tallon. Get ready to hear more Blackhawk fans cry, “oh no, they’re blowing up the team.”
Cinque-Did you know a Cub fan took me off Facebook because of last week’s article? You Cub fans, this is your fan base doing something drastic because I disagree with the way Tom Ricketts has handled his time owning the Cubs. I believe he should have threatened to move them out of town, if money is a problem when it comes to moving the team out of town. To any Cub fan, or anyone else who wants to de-friend me, I say DEFRIEND THIS BITCH!!!!!
Sei-What’s it going to take Adam Dunn? What do we have to do to get you to hit the ball? I don’t think I have ever seen the cell go crazy when a guy gets walked until this past weekend when I saw the baseball peeps cheer for you very loudly for walking. You need to figure it out.
Sette-Back to Blagio, I love this comment…
He can use that one again to describe his ass before he gets into the clink.
Pinsiero finale: Best show on TV you may be watching or not, TRUE BLOOD. The season just kicked off yesterday, and HBO was nice enough to add another episode to the HBOGO/On Demand feature they have. I highly suggest you check out this show. Of course you should check out seasons 1, 2, and 3 before you go here. They are most certainly worth you time.
Citazzione del Giorno-“I don’t know what’s going on with Mauer. He didn’t put a sign down for a breaking ball. It was fastball, fastball, fastball,”-Jose Mijares, Twins reliever not happy with the pitch selection superstar sideburn extraordinaire Joe Mauer was calling for. And you all thought A.J. v Peavy was bad. Please!
Peace until tomorrow guppies.

Dolphins Kick Ass: S#!t People Say
Well Dolfans, I haven’t written here in a while. So I thought I would. I want to let everyone know who is a fan of the Phins in Chicago, I am trying to get a meetup/party or something like that for Monday Night Football. Yes it will happen, yes there will be a season, and yes I am going to do this. It may be my house or a local joint somewhere near. I am in the Algonquin/LITH/Huntley area, so if you are interested, let me know and we’ll hook it up.
Now, I am quite anxious for the season to start because we need to get some free agents on the team, and yes of course, find the person who will challenge Henne for the QB job. I am behind Henne 100%, but I want to see him at his best and a QB competition may do that for him.
Anyway here are seven of the most ridiculous things I have heard in the last six months regarding football and the Dolphins.
1-Stephen Ross flies out to California to interview Jim Harbaugh only to keep Tony Sparano-Look goofy, we love your orange carpets and you addiction to finding more and more celebrity minor owners for the Dolphins. It’s so cute. However, this was by far one of the biggest embarrassments for the Dolphins since 2007. I am with many people and getting behind Tony because what he went through, no one should have to go through. I also hope it motivates him to win big, but there is the effect of apathy it might have as well.
2-Let’s get Kevin Kolb. How many draft picks will this guy cost along with a house, car, boat, and plane? How much do we really know about him? If Vick didn’t emerge as he did, would the youngster step up to the plate? Quite frankly I think the talk of Matt Flynn is pretty crazy as well, but at least he had a great game against one of the elite teams in football, but what has Kevin Kolb done that has earned him all this praise. Why do we find random players in football and decide they will be the cream of the crop or the next great player to fill the huge shoes of a superstar who was on the team before?
3-Ryan Mallett and the “payback” the Dolphins are going to get. Did his Dad read the book “He’s Just Not That into You?” He should. The Dolphins saw someone who they wanted more. I don’t know if they have that much faith in Henne to fill the needs at running back and wide receiver/kick returner, but they did. Get over it. You’re on the Patriots which means you will most likely become a superstar, and Dolphin fans everywhere will point to Wes Welker, Sammy Morris, and anyone else they can think of who went to the Patriots and became great after they left South Florida.
4-Let’s give shout outs to coaches who lost jobs thanks to us-Tyrelle Pryor most likely drove one of the many vehicles he had thanks to his “hook up” for that press conference with Drew Rosenhaus. He gives Jim Tressel a “shout out” and half ass apology for causing him trouble. If you want to apologize and you feel you had something to do with his problems, then be a man and a professional about it. Don’t sound like some asswipe who’s calling into Eddie and Jobo trying to get all your buddies to hear you on the radio.
5-Can someone tell Rex Ryan he’s not Nostradamus but possibly Harold Camping-Year after year we have to hear this guy with his predictions for his wonderful Jets. And earlier this year, here he goes again:
"Last year I thought we'd win it. This year, I know we'll win it,"
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Go eat a sandwich and shut up already. Yes, you have proven you’re not a fluke coach, but you’re still an asshole. Sorry. And you’ll be wrong again. Oh, and the Dolphins will beat your team again too.
6-Let’s cut Brandon Marshall due to his wife stabbing him-First off all, you don’t just cut one of the top 5 receivers on the team because his wife stabbed him. You wish him well and hopefully he gets better. Will he cooperate with the police? Eventually. May he get suspended, perhaps. However, you didn’t see the Steelers cut Ben Rothlisberger. They tried to stay afloat without him, succeeded, and then he came back, and they went to the Superbowl. Character concerns are valid, but what a guy does on the field is what counts, and furthermore, can you really label Marshall a character concern when he was attacked? It may have been in self defense, but after the story of his wife coming back to the house two weeks ago, I am starting to believe not.
7-The lockout will be over next week-I can’t believe how many people want to make false reports so they can be the one who broke the news of the lockout being over with. Look, I thought when it came to the news, it’s more important to be accurate than first. If you’re the first person who botched the story, you’ll be known as being not credible which is a tag you don’t want as a journalist. I, like everyone, am tired of the lockout and want to hear the words “lockout over” as much as anyone. However, what I don’t want is a bunch of tools giving me wrong information, getting me excited over nothing. Let’s just end the speculation and report the lockout ends when it actually happens. This isn’t like free agency. That kind of speculation is fun. This is just crap.
Final thought: I can’t wait for the season to start and see who the Dolphins pick up to compete with Henne. It is going to be too late for a veteran QB to learn the system, but Pennington was signed pretty late into the offseason, and he helped win a division championship. Anything is possible. GO DOLPHINS!!!
Now, I am quite anxious for the season to start because we need to get some free agents on the team, and yes of course, find the person who will challenge Henne for the QB job. I am behind Henne 100%, but I want to see him at his best and a QB competition may do that for him.
Anyway here are seven of the most ridiculous things I have heard in the last six months regarding football and the Dolphins.
1-Stephen Ross flies out to California to interview Jim Harbaugh only to keep Tony Sparano-Look goofy, we love your orange carpets and you addiction to finding more and more celebrity minor owners for the Dolphins. It’s so cute. However, this was by far one of the biggest embarrassments for the Dolphins since 2007. I am with many people and getting behind Tony because what he went through, no one should have to go through. I also hope it motivates him to win big, but there is the effect of apathy it might have as well.
2-Let’s get Kevin Kolb. How many draft picks will this guy cost along with a house, car, boat, and plane? How much do we really know about him? If Vick didn’t emerge as he did, would the youngster step up to the plate? Quite frankly I think the talk of Matt Flynn is pretty crazy as well, but at least he had a great game against one of the elite teams in football, but what has Kevin Kolb done that has earned him all this praise. Why do we find random players in football and decide they will be the cream of the crop or the next great player to fill the huge shoes of a superstar who was on the team before?
3-Ryan Mallett and the “payback” the Dolphins are going to get. Did his Dad read the book “He’s Just Not That into You?” He should. The Dolphins saw someone who they wanted more. I don’t know if they have that much faith in Henne to fill the needs at running back and wide receiver/kick returner, but they did. Get over it. You’re on the Patriots which means you will most likely become a superstar, and Dolphin fans everywhere will point to Wes Welker, Sammy Morris, and anyone else they can think of who went to the Patriots and became great after they left South Florida.
4-Let’s give shout outs to coaches who lost jobs thanks to us-Tyrelle Pryor most likely drove one of the many vehicles he had thanks to his “hook up” for that press conference with Drew Rosenhaus. He gives Jim Tressel a “shout out” and half ass apology for causing him trouble. If you want to apologize and you feel you had something to do with his problems, then be a man and a professional about it. Don’t sound like some asswipe who’s calling into Eddie and Jobo trying to get all your buddies to hear you on the radio.
5-Can someone tell Rex Ryan he’s not Nostradamus but possibly Harold Camping-Year after year we have to hear this guy with his predictions for his wonderful Jets. And earlier this year, here he goes again:
"Last year I thought we'd win it. This year, I know we'll win it,"
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Go eat a sandwich and shut up already. Yes, you have proven you’re not a fluke coach, but you’re still an asshole. Sorry. And you’ll be wrong again. Oh, and the Dolphins will beat your team again too.
6-Let’s cut Brandon Marshall due to his wife stabbing him-First off all, you don’t just cut one of the top 5 receivers on the team because his wife stabbed him. You wish him well and hopefully he gets better. Will he cooperate with the police? Eventually. May he get suspended, perhaps. However, you didn’t see the Steelers cut Ben Rothlisberger. They tried to stay afloat without him, succeeded, and then he came back, and they went to the Superbowl. Character concerns are valid, but what a guy does on the field is what counts, and furthermore, can you really label Marshall a character concern when he was attacked? It may have been in self defense, but after the story of his wife coming back to the house two weeks ago, I am starting to believe not.
7-The lockout will be over next week-I can’t believe how many people want to make false reports so they can be the one who broke the news of the lockout being over with. Look, I thought when it came to the news, it’s more important to be accurate than first. If you’re the first person who botched the story, you’ll be known as being not credible which is a tag you don’t want as a journalist. I, like everyone, am tired of the lockout and want to hear the words “lockout over” as much as anyone. However, what I don’t want is a bunch of tools giving me wrong information, getting me excited over nothing. Let’s just end the speculation and report the lockout ends when it actually happens.

GO DOLPHINS!!!

I Like the White Sox: Cut Cub Fans Slack
So a wise man who many like me feel is not wise and should have been bounced off the Apprentice like weeks 1-5 Meatloaf said “two out of three ain’t bad.”
And I guess that holds true with the fuzzy loving festivities known as the Crosstown Classic, Cup, Windy City Series, whatever; its Sox vs Cubs damn it. The Cubs threatened 2 nights in a row to win; but Sergio Santos denied them the opportunity along with some other great bullpen performances.
Yeah, I know. We all find many reasons to hate the Cubs and the parasites that follow them that they call fans, but today I am going to do something different. I am going to list seven reasons why the hate isn’t worth it anymore. Why the Cub bashing is getting old?
1-You look at their fans, and quite honestly they are all like puppy dogs waiting for a new owner to come and adopt them and save them from the boredom of Save-A-Pet. The problem is that dog is the one no one wants. However, that faithful puppy believes day in and out that someone is going to bring them home.
2-Their park is a dump. Peter Gammons said so himself. The ivy is rotting, the roof is falling down, and the statues are getting vandalized. The Cub fans are like sitting in a toilet where they never can relieve themselves, but are stuck on it, while everyone else has no problems with regularity.
3-Every player that comes to play for the Cubs eventually leaves if they’re any good, and stays if they suck. Chances are their guaranteed a no trade as well especially if they walk through the door reeking of greatness which ends up being fake. So if they’re good and start to suck, you’re stuck with them.
4-They haven’t won a playoff game in almost 10 years. Most Cub fans wonder if it’s even worth it to watch them in the playoffs anymore.
5-Did you know that 40% of Cubbie kingdom didn’t even know that the Sox would be their opponent the last three days? Sure they got all hyper when they won that one game, but the Sox took care of that one pretty quick eh?
6-Ron Santo died not seeing the Cubs ever win a world series, and many Cub fans fear they will suffer that same fate so no need to care about them anymore. This is a token argument the typical Cub fan uses when arguing with a Sox fan about who’s a better team. The good old attendance card. Apparently someone burned that one this year huh guys?
7-People who cry at baseball games really have issues. There is no crying in baseball.
Yes I know this whole article was to talk about why we shouldn’t bash Cub fans anymore due to the fact they're pathetic and all, but ended up bashing them anyway. What can I say, next to Sox baseball, making fun of the Cubs and their fans is a great past time. Sorry. Go Sox!!!!!

I Like the White Sox: One Fricking Run, That's It
And now to expound on second half’s post from yesterday. In the “sort of” words of Harry Doyle (I changed one sentence)
“One run. One God damn run is all they got.”
Yes one run. One fricking run kids. And how many did we have. Zero!!!!! That is one less than yesterday. Actually we did get only one run. The entire series!!!!
The whole team is injured. Mauer, Morneau, Kubel, Span, tatermasher...all injured. We could have split this series, but no once again the Twins win again. We are subjected to watch Minnie and Paul jerk each other after a nasty Cuddyer home run. Why couldn’t that guy get injured? Oh wait, it won’t matter. So I am just going to spew lots of venom here.
1-The Twins should have a “fan gets to play LF night” every time they play the Sox. They will look just as good as all the no name guys who the Sox played today. The fan gets to keep his Twins jersey.
2-Isn’t there a coffin under home plate there at good old Target Field? It’s the ghost of Harmon Killebrew haunting us. He’s trying to sleep and every time A.J. hits his shoes with the bat, he ends up waking the old bastard up.
3-To this clown Jesse S who is calling the police, or calling the CIA, or calling his mommy; the only thing I can think of is Kirby Puckett had some sort of relations with your family so therefore, I can see where you take exception. How come he didn’t get buried under home plate if he’s such a great guy?
4-Back to the whole Target thing, I will never shop at Target again until the White Sox win a series against these crapwads. And I used to be a good customer Target. Well not anymore. You take your bull’s eye and shove it somewhere.
5-Joe Mauer I guess is holding a press conference shortly. What? You telling everyone you’re coming back? Who frickin cares what you do sideburn boy? Why don’t you find a lake to jump in with you catchers gear on? Go try to catch a shark.
6-Ron Gardenhire, go become Santa Claus at Santa’s Village. That would be a more beneficial job to kids everywhere, especially the ones who are Sox fans. They think you’re a cranky old man who kicks our ass all the time. They don’t like you. Become Santa and they just might like you.
7-Jim Thome, can you please leave the team? The last thing I want to see is you hit number 600 in a Twinkie uniform. This is disgusting.
Final thought: I HATE THE TWINS! And the sad thing is, I have to hate the Cubs less when they play you. That makes me puke. Now I have to favor the Cubs thanks to you pricks.
Mark Buehrle deserved better today. We fans deserve better than this. Twinkie Town is probably laughing at us right now. Adam Dunn says “oh too bad about the weather I can’t wait to hit there.” Yeah, well neither can we. Wait I think he did get a hit today. Good for you donkey!!!! OK I’m pissed. Gotta go.
