Believe me, I wish the fans would support this team better. I always go to the games when I'm in town, as I did twice this past week and I have to either drive an hour or take the train for an hour and a half. But, look at how the Yankees, Red Sox and Angels draw. And, also, look at their rating numbers on TV as compared to the Sox's. Besides, Konerko isn't worth $10 mil per season. Garland isn't worth whatever it is he will be given in arbitration. Look for the Sox working a deal for Chad Tracey from Arizona.

Whew!...If that wasn't the second coming of 'War and Peace.' I cover the Angels in the spring for the Associated Press (Los Angeles). If the Angels want Konerko, they will get him. The Sox won't be able to match the offer because their fans don't support them. Also, expect Garland to be dealt at the end of this season.The Sox won't give him the $10 million or so he'll get per season as a result of arbitration. Heck, he's only had half of one good season.

Fourteen thousand during the week and 28k against the Angels on the weekend. Where are all the people? Not to mention, the people that do show up are super quiet. This stupid city deserves the Cubs all to itself. No team gets as little respect as the White Sox, anywhere!

[/b]All that talk about the Sox choking last month and the worst collapse since 1969. And who can forget Couch's "Don't Buy What the Sox Are Selling" article early in the year? Did anyone buy what they were suggesting?

We're going to need el Duque's experience in the playoffs, but what a great problem to have, huh?

Funny! I hope he hasn't lost his confidence.

Rooney will be missed, sorely, but it sounded as though it was his decision to go. I have a feeling his words are still part of contract negotiations and he will be back...The thought of having Ed Farmer as the regular play-by-play guy just amazes me. He's attrocious in that role.
