Boom. My only regret is that I didn't get to hear Hawk call it.

He must be out sick or something. Doesn't matter though, even if he was there he would have been silent.

Yeah, that sucked.

I would have loved to hear only crowd noise for a good minute or two.

Couldn't happen to a better team.

I only tuned in for the first inning. Stoney sounded under the weather as well.

My only fear is that this could mark the low point of the Sox' season already, and was hoping they'd suffer much longer. I guess we'll see.

I'm gonna enjoy this for a little while at least.

This was from a Jeff Passan article. What an indictment of the fuck sox. They really had to work hard at sucking last night.

All in!

Phil Roger's has even jumped off the Sox bandwagon. Phil will now have more time to suck Tony LaRussa off.

In the Sun Times, Joe Cowley called Ozzie a top 5 manager and he said you don't fire a top 5 manager.

Oh, you said "manager." nm

[funkster]

Joe Cowley is an asshat.

I would pay money to go back and watching Hawk call that game...

I'm honestly really surprised at how bad the White Sox have been so far. On paper, they should be the best team in the AL Central, IMO. I think the back end of their bullpen blowing all those games early on has had a huge psychological impact on the rest of the team.

[jstraw]

I really hope Guillen doesn't get fired.

Me neither...I like watching his press conferences when he's pissed off.
