It's a real nice piece I think you'll enjoy. The paragraph on Wood vs Buehrle is the best.

 

It's important on these boards to have some threads we can just sit back & talk about how great our team is. We don't have to be like Ozzie & the players. We can talk about it!

 

I think it's important for all Sox fans to enjoy this season. Don't let fear of a 2nd half surge by the Twins or the post-season take away from your enjoyment now. You're team is on pace to win 60 ball games by the break. Unreal! I mentioned that back in May .. I didn't even believe it was possible!

 

In my family we are celebrating .. when the Sox become the first in MLB to win 50 this year the whole family is going out for dinner. Not just the immediate family but the grandparents as well. We talked about it & we hope to do the same thing for win 75 & win 100. Yep. You heard that right. We expect the Sox to win at least 100 this year.

 

This is a season for the ages & whether we win it all or not it's still will go down as one of the most enjoyable to be a part of. The White Sox must do everything in their power to make Buehrle a White Sox for life .. even if it means overpaying him. As long as you have that consistent #1 guy leading your team you are a contender. You just need a little luck & a little magic to have a shot at the World Series. There is no question in my mind he is the MVP of this team. His style has been so successful that the coaches & the staff itself are emulating it.

 

This piece is so good .. I think I'll read it again

woops jug beat me to it..;.

I merged these two threads.

On a sunny afternoon with not a cloud in the sky, one would have expected 30,000-something fans to pack the joint. Except that only 24,544 seats were filled.

 

At least the media knows a good story when they smell one, right? Sorry, yours truly was the only local sports columnist who bothered to show up with the best pitcher on the mound for the best team in baseball.

 

The rest were on the Prior Watch, I guess.

 

That's awesome!!

That's awesome!! 

 

That is a great line. If the team is so great and the fans are so stupid for not going to games, where was the omnipotent media??? Hypocrates.
