If this is the last episode of “The Offseason,” the Oral Sox guys nailed it:
Book news, and more self-promotion
Good news — my proof copy of White Sox Outsider 2010 is hitting the printer. I’m going to give it a once-over for quality control, and when it (hopefully) passes the test, I should be able to put it up for sale sometime next week (Tuesday? Wednesday?) . Thank Johnny Damon and my corrupt database [...]
Seeds of discontent with the rotating DH
If you’re not in the mood for baseball yet — and if you aren’t, then why are you here? — Scott Reifert posted some video of Carlos Quentin in the cage, and a couple other videos around Camelback Ranch as well. It’s HD quality, so be prepared to wait for it to load. But with [...]
White Sox pitchers, catchers, fifth outfielders report
White Sox pitchers and catchers reported to Glendale on Sunday … and so did Andruw Jones! Considering his career has taken a nosedive and he’s been hammered for being overweight and giving the Dodgers one of the great underperformances of all time, one could take this as a sign that Jones is serious about resurrecting [...]
Look busy, do nothing: Damon a Tiger
It’s safe to say The Cheat nailed his headline from Feb. 11: Report: White Sox Finally Planning Failed Bid For Above-Replacement-Level DH Yes, Johnny Damon is going to be a Detroit Tiger. I largely bit my tongue on the issue, because 1) it’s never as bad for Scott Boras as it seems, and unless Damon had [...]
Win or die trying, redefined
My friend Scott saw my attempt at improving the White Sox ad campaign and one-upped me with this Japanese gem. Let’s just say that Jake Peavy’s legendary intensity no longer impresses me. It may not be safe for work due to sheer ridiculousness — screaming and unnecessary (though unrealistic) violence. Oh, and Kenny Williams will [...]
‘It’s Black and White’ unveiled
Above is the first ad in the White Sox’s 2010 marketing campaign, “It’s Black and White.” So far, it’s not as bad as I feared. On the other hand, I snagged a copy of an alternate version of this ad, and I like this one a little better:
Damon, Sox playing a round
Ken Rosenthal is the ultimate tease. First, he becomes everything that’s wrong about Twitter when he tweets: Damon to #WhiteSox gaining momentum. Team has made second offer #MLB Only to follow with: Take back previous tweet: #WhiteSox did not make second offer. Original offer stands and is not thought to be as high as Tigers’. [...]
White Sox Outsider 2010 update
In case you’re wondering where I’ve been, it’s been at my computer, slaving away on finishing up White Sox Outsider 2010. Here’s what it’s like to sit at my desk, as well as a sneak preview of a couple pages of rough draft: So that’s where I sit. Now, here’s where we stand with the [...]
Damon dangling, Frank retiring
Johnny Damon is no closer to being a member of the White Sox than he was eight hours ago, but all reports seem to indicate he’s a lot closer to being a Tiger. This would be unfortunate, because there are two direct implications to the White Sox. One is that Damon, at least for the [...]
