I got this in my work email today, forwarded from a guy who's not a Sox fan, but thought I'd enjoy it:
Hiya, Chicago baseball fans:
Yoo-hoo! Here we are. We're waving our arms and wearing a grayish shirt with black trimming. You can't miss us.
No, over here, slightly toward the south ... No, dammit, that's north. Turn around. Why won't you turn around?
So that's how it's gonna be, huh? We capture your imagination with a gritty title-winning campaign, then all it takes is a single poopy-pants season to lose it?
We could accept being the second horse in a two-horse town if, as in New York, the first horse has a long and storied history of success. But to be considered second-class citizens behind a whimsically self-destructive organization like the Cubs, somehow deemed charming even as they invent new ways to lose? That ain't right and it ain't fair and it ain't right. Or fair.
Enough. We're officially washing our hands of you bozos. Screw you, bandwagon boy. Get bent, waffle girl. Don't come back when we return to contention in a year or two.
With pride and prejudice,
The Chicago Goddamn White Sox
