White Sox lose, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!

So today the White Sox opened the 2007 season in smashing fashion, laying a giant dud, losing to the Tribe 12-5. The White Sox continue to show 2005 was a fluke, that they only got into the playoffs because Mark Beurhle decided to try to kill Pronk. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. The White Sox only made the playoffs b/c of the attempted murder that kept Pronk out of action for a month. Had the Tribe had Pronk, or if MLB would have realized that it was intentional and suspended Buerhle for the length of Hafner’s injury, during the White Sox’s collapse in August/September, they would have blown it. What kind of team can’t beat the Royals, blowing big leads to them constantly. Even my manager, who doesn’t understand baseball well, knows that the Royals suck. This team is poorly built. They have no 5th starter, their offense is not capable of doing anything but swinging for the fences, and they play in the hardest division in baseball.

Instead of tackling a prime opportunity to take over this town, the White Sox have booted it away. Their happy-go-lucky GM Ken Williams traded away 2 quality starters this winter, instead of trying to load the team for another title run in the final year of their window of opportunity. And with Buerhle, Jermaine Dye, and Tadahito Iguchi up for Free Agency after the season, and the fact the White Sox apply principles to everyone, you can look at this team sucking majorly for years to come.

They have a personal vendetta with Scott Boras and b/c of it, they refuse to draft Boras clients, and they refuse to negotiate long term deals with his clients, which means after the 2008 season, their lone Boras client, 3B Joe Crede, will be gone. Also, the maximum length contract they’ll give pitchers is 3 years. In this market, the only players they’re gonna get with these principles is sub-standard crap. White Sox Suck, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!
