Die hard White Sox fan here. I don't think Cleveland will keep up that pace. Detroit will pass them up by mid-June and the rest of us shortly thereafter.

They've been showing this commercial around here, it's pretty cute

That's what happens when you pick the wrong color Sox

LOL. I picked me up some tasty Cubs. Um, who is there on the White Sox to lust after?

Completely Useless By September? No thanks I've been to a few games. The park smells like a urinal and you live on constant fear of cement hitting you in the head as it falls off of the building, not to mention the crappy product they put on the field year after year. They have a mascot goat named Wrigley this year, they think it's going to help. Maybe mowing the lawn but little else.

As for the White Sox, I wouldn't say there was anything to lust over. You can't go wrong with Paul Konerko who's batting a healthy .345 and 6 HR this year.

Then there is my personal fav, the Polish Prince, A.J. Pierzynski who is batting .275 this year with 5 HR. Funny thing about this guy. He's the guy that you absolutely cannot stand if he is playing against you but do not want to be without when he is on your team. I've seen a lot of guys play over the years and never one as smart as this guy is. He knows every friggin' rule in baseball regardless of how obsecure and uses it well to the team's advantage. I liked fisk when we had him behind the plate, but I like this guy a lot better.

How about Ramirez at shortstop? I liked him better at second but he is holding his own. I guess you wouldn't want him if you have Castro from the Cubs. I'd probably go with Castro too. I dunno, they could be a good short-second combo.

The Sox are doing amazingly well this year particularly after they were written off before spring training ever started. I'm glad to be rid of Ozzie (I know his son and the papers were right, the kid is a complete tool) and hope now that the media circus went south the team will settle in and get down to business.

Not a Cubs fan I see LOL. I have Castro and LaHair and am satisfied with both. Have Pedroia at 2B so middle infield is good. Have Votto at 1B - hoping his power will come around.

I hear you on Pierzynski. Always had him as a second catcher but someone scoffed him up before me.

Need a solid 3B but nothing on the wires worth trading for.

Gawd, I forgot you had Ozzie to contend with. Congrats on freeing yourself from the Ozziedrama. Weird lil man.

BTW, you stole Fisk from us. Not that I am still stinging from that or anything.

Don't look for a decent 3rd basemen on our team. Joe Crede is long gone....along with Aaron Rowand, Jon Garland, (dammit) Mark Buehrle, and a host of others. Seems like every time I turn a game on I see someone new and am saying to myself "Who's that fucking guy?"

Speaking of thefts my friend, how did that one of Bil Buckner work out for ya? Oh......wait. Sorry man I couldn't resist.
