How about that! I am like many whitesox fans my days seem better when there is a W on the south side. So if Obama feels the same about our sox then America and the world will be better if the sox keep winning. Go sox the world needs you to perform.
April 20, 200916 yr although this is cool...I would only want them going when something like a World Series ring merits it...
April 20, 200916 yr QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 09:38 AM) although this is cool...I would only want them going when something like a World Series ring merits it... The Bulls visited earlier this year so why not the Sox?
April 20, 200916 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 02:42 PM) The Bulls visited earlier this year so why not the Sox? Again...I feel the same way about that...it is awesome that the President is a Chicago sports fan, but you didn't see Bush Jr inviting the Rangers, or Mavericks to the White House, or Billy boy inviting the Razorbacks.... Teams go to the White House when they win championships, not just because the president still gets gitty like a little schoolboy for his sports teams.
April 20, 200916 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 10:42 AM) The Bulls visited earlier this year so why not the Sox? Well the Verizon Center is also like maybe a mile from the White House, whereas Baltimore is a good 45 minutes to an hour. Just saying.

Yeah on a day off I could see why they shouldn't drive 45 minutes to see the most famous Sox fan in the world.

I think some of the players wanted to go and the team set it up last week.
April 20, 200916 yr QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 10:01 AM) I'm not sure it's a good idea to have Ozzie at the White House. Ozzie won't be there. Obama might not even be there. They are getting a tour of the White House.
April 20, 200916 yr Maybe they can cut out a piece of the rug with the Presidential seal on it for me as a souvenier Edited April 20, 200916 yr by elrockinMT

Perhaps a little more fiber in the diet would help out. This is way too trivial to get worked up about.
April 20, 200916 yr Politics aside, if I had a chance to tour the White House I would do it. I'm sure most players on the team feel that way.

April 20, 200916 yr I actually hate DC a lot and think it's really overrated, but I also live here so take my opinion with a grain of salt. It's fun to see all the stuff at first.
