Re: Once again. No love for the White Sox.
Oh come on. Without Konerko the Sox are done for. No offense or anything.
The White Sox have a very bright future, and might even finish first next year again, but I highly doubt that. They have alot of things going for them. What they don't have going for them is that they won;t have Konerko, Everett (if I'm right?) or Thomas' power. That is a BIG loss of power that you had last year but won't have this next year. How do you plan to make up for that in an FA market that has absolutely no power hitters with the exception of Konerko, who probably won't return. The Yankees getting rid of Tino tells me they're looking for another first basemen, and I'm willing to bet dime to dollar that Paulie's getting a big contract from NYY. Who else is there on the FA list who can fill in the power gaps? Brian Giles? doesn't really hit for power that much anymore. Mike Piazza? older and worse every year. I can't even think of anyone else in FA with the kind of power that would fill in the major gaps you need. Unless the Sox plan to trade someone or something, they are in for a big suprise. I wish that you could win championships without power. Believe me, I do...I'm an M's fan for crying out loud....but the simple FACT is that you CAN'T.
you'd think after finally winning the world series you'd be happy for at least the next 50 years just with that one win...but no....you have to go on blaming people for something they're not doing, "dissing the white sox". Telling it like it is is not a freakin diss. It's accepting the truth. How many teams repeat? Especially teams that change as much as the White Sox will this off-season? face the facts man, stop living in denial. Your team is going to be a tough team to beat for years to come, but the likelihood of you're winning the world series again NEXT YEAR or even finishing first is GREATLY diminished.
Now I know that alot of White Sox fans are going to look at the first few sentences of what I've written and write me off as a "*****", but that's their own frickin problem. How can you be so in denial that you refuse to see the writing on the wall? Come on.
WAKE UP!!
