Great Job, White Sox, And I Was Just Wondering.....Does Phil Garner Ever Move? Do the Cubs Really Have to Bring Dusty Back Next Season?




Nice going, White Sox. Before you swept Houston in the World Series, a lot of us were wondering if any team from Chicago would ever win anything again.

*********************************************************************************

Minutes after his team won the final game, 1-0, catcher A. J. Pierzynski said on TV that the White Sox are "a bunch of guys who like each other." How come the White Sox liked A.J. a year after the San Francisco Giants said they thought he was a clubhouse cancer?

************************************************************************************

The White Sox had at least nine guys in their bullpen who were better than any pitcher the Cubs had all season.

*********************************************************************************

Speaking of the Cubs, has anybody heard from Dusty Baker lately?

**********************************************************************************

Do the Cubs really have to honor the final year of Baker's contract?

**********************************************************************************

Why did the people at FOX TV think we needed to keep seeing what Astros owner Drayton McLane was doing during the game?

***********************************************************************************

Speaking of the Astros, where were they during the World Series?

***********************************************************************************

Still speaking of the Astros, is manager Phil Garner alive? I think he moved twice in four games.

***********************************************************************************

Remember when Air Force Academy football coach Fisher DeBerry had all his marbles?

************************************************************************************

Has there ever been a bigger goofball in the Big Ten than Michigan State football coach John L. Smith?

************************************************************************************

They're already talking about Charlie Weis leaving Notre Dame and taking an NFL head coaching job next season. Sorry about that, Jim Feld.

The player America didn't know until now: White Sox third baseman Joe Crede [pictured on the upper right].

***********************************************************************************

I hear that scouts from the Motor City Bowl are so hot about Iowa that they might show up in Iowa City this weekend even though the Hawkeyes don't have a game.

************************************************************************************

During the regular season, I heard that the White Sox cheered in the clubhouse whenever the Cubs were losing on TV. That meant the Sox got to cheer a lot. No wonder they were so happy all year.

***********************************************************************************

Take that, all you guys from the 1919 Black Sox [pictured above on the left].

It's easier and easier easy every day to be a Northwestern football fan this season.

Does Ozzie Guillen have any brothers in Venezuela? If so, there are still some big league managing jobs open.
