Hi kids. So it has been a month and a half since the perfect game and Mark Buehrle did the Top 10 list on Dave Letterman. So I decided to make a top 10 regarding our White Sox as a whole right now.
TOP 10 THINGS THAT ASSURE YOU OF THE FACT YOU ARE A WHITE SOX FAN (AND MOST LIKELY PART OF THE SSS FAMILY)
10-You know what the acronym BHB means. 12 wins and he shaves so he will be known as BSB then.
9-You wonder how much tobacco Pods chews whenever he comes up to bat. It looks like someone inserted one of those crazy balls in his cheek. If you haven't noticed it before, I assure you will now.
8-Sometimes you wish AJ would do the sign of the cross when a guy is sitting on first. Perhaps God could help him throw out more base runners trying to swipe a base.
7-You may have noticed no one on the team has number 7 anymore due to a wannabe center field has cursed the number for all eternity.
6-If you have ever the chance to meet Nick Swisher, you would like to make his chin blue with a little shade of black, not pink as he likes to.
5-You think Che is a shortstop and not a historical figure that fought for independence.
4-There are two saviors in your life. Jesus and Bacon.
3-You wonder why in the history of baseball, we are the only team that signed a pitcher for tons of money that is currently on the DL. Yet we're OK with the decision because our GM has another 69 million reasons to show the world he has the biggest pair in baseball.
2-You can count the number of starting pitchers used this year with both hands.
1-You either need pepto, vodka, miller, tums, downers, pot, God, or some other kind of medication to help you get through the carnival ride that makes the Zipper look like a children's ride known as the 2009 Chicago White Sox baseball season.
It's kind of like there was the Sizzler, and then the Super Sizzler. We all cringed during the 08 season, but this one has been a little more exciting (not in a good way) with the inconsistent offense, the incoherent defense, and the C&C rehab factory making you sweat. Approximately one month to go until October, and next week as they say in Apocalypse Now, we're going into the shit. Charlie is all over. Brace yourselves people, we are about to climb that hill again.

Michael Vick can Suck a...
Hello. As many of you know, I am passionate about animals. I live a vegetarian lifestyle for the reason that I have compassion for animals and the suffering they go through because the "food" industry believes they are an essential part of survival. Well I along with many other vegans and veggies out there sure have disproved that myth. When one eats animals they make a choice; they don't need to. However, I think one thing that my carnivore friends and I agree on is that what Michael Vick did is just plain wrong. Bringing up animals to "compete" and electrocuting them when they lose by far can be classified the one of the most psychotic and thoughtless acts I have ever encountered in my life.
So Michael Vick served jail time. Well that's all and good, but why he's granted a chance to play football and make millions of dollars again makes absolutely no sense to me. He was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles for 1 year $1.6 million dollar deal with a 2010 option. This man, a role model for the city of Atlanta took that position, wiped his ass with it, and threw the paper at all the citizens of that city when he committed the heinous crime of killing man's best friend. And now, the city of brotherly love (except for when it comes to sports because Philly fans have anger issues) has embraced the doggie killer for now.
Michael Vick is a half ass quarterback that can really run the ball. His presence in Philly should be interesting from a sports perspective; however I could give a shit about that. You see in Miami, we did something special in football last year. It was called the Wildcat and brother, it don't get much more special than that. (Actually yeah it does. We moved the dash over one space to the right from 1-15 one season to 11-5 the next) What would be really special if someone in Philly let a big Doberman onto the field and before Vick is about to throw that bomb, the dog bites his arm off for revenge for all the canines he had killed.
Does everyone in life get second chances? Sure, but what has Vick done to redeem himself? He went to jail. Guess what? You committed a crime of course you go to jail. He is doing community service work. That was park of his plea deal, and of course being a "celeb", he gets to sit home in his big ass house and play X Box, after committing unspeakable crimes. Has Vick gone to shelters to try to help find homes for many dogs out there that need one? No that doesn't mean go to the shelter and adopt one. We saw how that worked out last time. In my opinion, he needs to earn his spot. The fact he was signed for a mill is bullshit. I knew when he was eligible to play, someone would scoop him up.
I think it comes down to when you are rich and famous (or infamous in this case), you can do whatever and the consequences are usually light. Then you get to go back to your fairy tale of a life, get to bang your hot trophy life, and cut the rest of society with a knife. I guess the best thing that came out of this is that Dennis Green was wrong. Parcels had NO INTEREST in bringing Vick to south Florida. So I can you can crown him, you can crown his ass with the dunce cap. In closing, I wish Michael Vick's feet were held to the fire to help animals in some way, and I just wish he had to earn his million, because lets face it kids, that is not the NFL minimum.

I Like the White Sox: Enjoying Life
What a week. Wining 5 out of 7 against first place teams. Not bad. Just waiting for number 56 to get out of his hangover and we move on. Beckham hitting .411 in his last 20, solid! The biggest trade in the history of trades with player on the DL. What more can you ask for as a White Sox fan right now.
I usually post psycho babble and random thoughts, but today I want to ask a serious question. I believe that if Bacon doesn't win Rookie of the Year if he continues playing the way he's playing, its highway robbery. If Buehrle can pull off another 4-5 wins, you can make the case for him to win a Cy Young. Not only has he pitched a perfect game, but he retired 45 consecutive batters. He keeps his ERA low and wins about 15-16 games and if the Sox make the playoffs, I think you can make an argument for that.
However, the case I want to make is for Scott Podsenik for MVP IF the White Sox make the playoffs and go beyond the DS. Now before anyone flames me, I want you to think about this. The most obvious is where are the Sox without him? Possibly stuck in a battle for 3rd and 4th with Cleveland and KC. He is batting .300, and OPS is a modest .750, but he has been the fire starter for this White Sox team and has helped drive in runs. His BA with RISP with 2 outs is .302 and with bases loaded is .500. When a man is on 3rd, he is hitting .444. I wouldn't let the low average fool you. Plus he has been decent with the glove this year for the most part. However the Sox didn't start winning until Podsednik starting hitting.
Perhaps I'm a stoner and I have no clue wtf I'm talking about. I think you can look at Joe Mauer and Bobby Abreu, and probably make a better case for the two of them. However, if the White Sox do some damage, win the Central and go beyond, Scotty Pods needs a look at least, because he has been the most valuable player on this team, and my definition of MVP is a player who has made the difference in making or breaking a team. We should have a most disposable player award here on SSS every year. One for our team and one for the league.
Other comments, bye bye Brian Anderson. See you and your whinny ass self sometime in the future. We know to throw that outside slider to you so if you are up against our pitchers, go grab some bench. Clayton Richard, its been fun. Thanks for the memories and the hole in my stomach when its time to make a routine throw to first and you're on the mound. Bobby Jenks, CRANBERRY JUICE BRO!
Other than that, have a wonderful day.

Buehrle, Belvidere, and Bullshit
I just got my new Mark Buehrle jersey for $44 and it looks damn good! You can click here to get one for that low price. They also have many other teams as well. I am planning on getting an orange Bess or Porter jersey, but lets see how the season goes with those two first. Loved them last year.
I just tried Belvidere Vodka for the first time and it goes down really smooth. I am not a fan of vodka, but I can get use to this. Call it my old age catching up to me I guess, or maybe...
Maybe its my job. Nothing like getting blammed for something that isn't your fault.
Just a quickie today guys. Laters
