To me he is knocking the Sox as much if not more than the Scrubs...
Fair's fair, and Sox fans will be able to rub a World Series title in the faces of Cubs fans. You rightly ask: How, with that lineup and that budget, could the Sox win the Series? How, after trading Carlos Lee and not re-signing Magglio Ordonez, could the Sox win it all? Especially with that pitching staff?
I have no idea. I just know that, in the grand scheme of things, it would make perfect sense. A Chicago team wins the World Series, and it's not the long-suffering Cubs. It's the almost-as-long-suffering Sox. (The standard Cubs fan would react typically--by pretending South Side fans don't exist and catching up with his old friend, pain.)
Basically giving the Sox pitching staff a knock and no love for the Offense...I suppose its to be expected in all since noone has seen this team play yet as it is now with the new direction they are headed....time will tell but yeah I would be happy as hell if the Sox would win the WS b4 the Scrubs do to keep them in misery....
