This is my first blog, so I will get the little details out of the way. I am living in Chicago for about 6 years now. Came here a huge Cubs fan (like most tourists) learned that it is much more fun to enjoy the White Sox, i.e. tailgating, cheaper tickets, lack of Chads and Trixies. Now I like both teams, and when asked I say that. After the disturbing look and moment of silence I say that if I had to choose I would like to see the Cubs win. I am also big into fantasy sports, but only the real ones, no offense to golf or NASCAR but I don’t wear polos and my neck isn’t that red.

As my first blog I was going to talk about the top 10 things I hate about the White Sox even though I still love them, but I can’t stop laughing about the comments made by Ozzie over the week. As if he’s jonesing for another trip to anger management he goes on about being chicago’s b**ch, and being the feces to just being feces. Seriously win a game again this month and move on. I still think they should do another remake of the bad news bears just so Ozzie can say this stuff with strippers jumping up and down because that is the only thing that could make it better.

So, the top 10 things I hate about the White Sox that I love.

10. Bring up Fields, yes his .240 average would put him in the top 5 in the lineup but that doesn’t mean it’s good.
9. Thome will come around, the dude’s ancient he’s not coming around, just quickly rolling down the hill he went over.
8. Trade Crede, great idea, best fielding 3rd basemen, and awesome clutch hitter, lets get Alou - he’s about the right age.
7. Charge me twenty to park, and two more for taxes. WTF a tax to park in a lot and not even the rubber glove treament.
6. Don’t hit for Buerhle. Why? Top 10 era last year with less than 10 wins. Should of got out when you can, he’s like the battered wife that won’t leave hoping that he won’t swing so hard next time.
5. Konerko will come around review number 9.
4. Lose a four-game series to Toronto, and then call them one of the best teams they played. Yeah maybe in Canada.
3. Play the Swisher commercial one more time. He can start doing that move on his way back to the dugout.
2. Come up with one more terrible cross town rivalry commercial for McDonalds, I want to see someone peeing in someones wheaties this year or else.
1. Stick with Contreras’s story on his age, I’ve seen better fake birth certificates come out of Kinko’s.

So there is is hope you like it, and they will get better if they start paying me.
