Ron Santo. It's just so weird even mentioning his name as a White Sox. His breif time with the Sox was a disaster and I hated him to begin with.

I remember him quite well. I think he could be considered the first of the great White Sox relievers. Like Hoyt Wilhelm, Staley began as a starter. It makes me feel really old when I see players from childhood dying at age 87. Rest in peace, Gerry.

Never sing for my supper I never help my neighbour Never do what is proper For my share of labour. I'm a poor boy And I'm a rover Count your coins and Throw them over my shoulder I may grow older Nobody knows How cold it grows And nobody sees How shaky my knees Nobody cares How steep my stairs And nobody smiles If I cross their stiles. Oh poor boy So sorry for himself Oh poor boy So worried for his health. You may say every day Where will he stay tonight. Never know what I came for Seems that I've forgotten Never ask what I came for Or how I was begotten. I'm a poor boy And I'm a ranger Things I say May seem stranger than Sunday Changing to Monday. Nobody knows How cold it flows And nobody feels The worn down heels Nobody's eyes Make the skies Nobody spreads Their aching heads. Oh poor boy So worried for his life Oh poor boy So keen to take a wife. He's a mess but he'll say yes If you just dress in white. Nobody knows How cold it blows And nobody sees How shaky my knees Nobody cares How steep my stairs And nobody smiles If you cross their stiles. Oh poor boy So sorry for himself Oh poor boy So worried for his health. You may say every day Where will he stay tonight. Oh poor boy So worried for his life Oh poor boy So keen to take a wife. Oh poor boy So sorry for himself Oh poor boy So worried for his health Oh poor boy. Nick Drake Poor Boy lyrics

QUOTE(103 mph screwball @ Dec 21, 2007 -> 09:41 PM) This is terrific news. I was pleasantly surprised to see this news even before the contract details were announced. Four years for less than Joe Borchard's signing bonus. This cost the Sox no draft picks and nobody was given up in trade. This was a risk worth taking and is a smart move. I don't think he will have much impact this year and will need some time in the minors, but at the very least, the Sox picked up a good prospect for about 1.2 mil per year for the next 4 years. I can not see any downside. The only two people associated with the Sox that may not be happy are Owens and Richar. This improves the farm, and if he does become an impact player for the Sox, Wow. We needed some good news. I just got home from work and saw this. I'm excited. That video posted earlier of him clubbing a homer was way cool. Good news indeed, finally.

Jason Bourgeois tailed off a bit for Mochis in the Mexican League. He's still playing though and batting .279 (222 ABs), .350 OBP and 20 SB. In the Dominican League, Oneli Perez has fared well (15 games, 16.1 IP, 0.55 E.R.A, 12 Saves).

QUOTE(buckweaver @ Dec 13, 2007 -> 06:25 AM) So why don't all you constant complainers move across the city...you'll fit right in. I agree with your basic thought plan, but you're confused about one thing. White Sox fans ARE constant complainers. Fans of that other team don't complain much. They have that everything is fine wait til next year attitude. Either that or the we suck who cares attitude. Or of course the who are the Cubs playing today pass me another beer attitude. In short, we complain because we don't like to lose and last year and from the looks of things probably this year there has been a lot of losing. Sure we won a championship just a couple of years ago. What's wrong with being greedy and wanting another one?

They're really cute except when they're glowing in the dark. Kinda scary looking. Just the same, I'd like one.

All I've got to say is it's pretty crappy being a White Sox fan these days. A feeble .
