I'd like the White Sox to win

I sort of like them for reasons I don’t really know.

I have a good friend who is a big White Sox fan and I am casual (bar) acquaintances with a couple of other Sox fans. Plus as crappy as the Cell is (and it’s gotten better over the years, to be fair), it beats the tar out of the Hubert H. Dumphrey Dome.

And the Twins annoy the shit out of me. I hate the Twins.

Why do you hate the Twins?

They’re pretty inoffensive.

Have the Cubs and White Sox ever been in the playoffs in the same year?

I'm rooting Twins

Even though my main man, Barack is a big Sox fan.

But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."

Jim Thome

is forever his Dugout character to me. So, even though I dislike his team, he remains a benevolent man-child.

ha!

I was totally just thinking that. As he rounded the bases I thought, “I love him.” but then I realized I was thinking about the dugout character who is second only to Professor Farnsworth in my heart.

BBTN has totally blown since he got fired.

What are you talking about?

They play baseball in October? Really? Since when did THAT start? How come the O’s never get to?
