Random Shots: Goodbye to You
Random shots while wondering whatever happened to Cliff Politte:
- Now that the White Sox are on the golf course,there's a whole run of rumors as to what will happen next year. We've been forced to wait for it, right? Here's a terrific video tribute to the 2008 edition (South Side Sox) while you can also view the 2008 Yearbook (White Sox Blog)
- It looks like the White Sox will be rebuilding (or tweaking) via the trade route and not the free agent market. (South Side Sox)
- Some of the players who will not return in 2008 are obvious like Orlando Cabrera and Junior Griffey. Also, Joe Crede. The jury is till out on role players like Juan Uribe and Toby Hall. Chances are, if Kenny can replace them cheaper, he will. (South Side Sox)
- I doubt Paul Konerko would want to go to the Giants. At this stage of his career, why would he go from a team that won their division to a team that is three to four years away. This just won;t happen (MLB Trade Rumors)
- The White Sox aren't the only ones n the AL Central looking for help. (MLB Trade Rumors)
- While Sox fans are happy with showing up this year, Cub fans continue to jump off the little blue bandwagon like rats on a sinking ship.
- If the Brewers did make a successful run at CC Sabathia, it would send a clear message to the fans of Milwaukee that the Brewers are serious about winning. It's really up to the big fella though because he'd have to give them a hometown discount to stay in Milwaukee.
- We told you this a while back: TBS needs a wacko on their baseball studio team.
- Terry Francona thinks Dale Sveum should keep his job. Didn't Francona fire Sveum after the 2005 playoffs? Hmm.
- The more things change, the more they remain the same.
- Here's four words you never thought you'd hear in the same sentence: Cedric, Benson, work, ethic. (Pro Football Talk)
- Can we all agree that Jonny Gomes is an assclown and move on? I'm sick of watching him already. (Bugs & Cranks)
- Here's another one of those stories that you read and you just don't get the logic. Why would Bill Cowher want to coach at Penn State? Why would JoPa want to turn the program over to someone with no ties to it and no continuity? Why would Cowher want to spend his life in the living rooms of teenagers? The logical place for the chin to resurface would be the Cleveland Browns. (Football Rumor Mill)
- Tommy Lasorda may soon have you say hello to his little friend. This could be the most miscast movie role since Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code. (Can't Stop the Bleeding)
- I'm not surprised that there was a fight between Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick. I'm just surprised there isn't a garage fight in NASCAR once a week.
- Eric Mangini sucks up to his quarterback and scars his new child for life.
- Here's a situation where a government agency, changed with protecting the public interest, got involved in a programming dispute. Having the FCC involved in an issue between Comcast and the NFL Network which is dead wrong. The FCC should only get involved if the public interest was not being served, which in this case is irrelevant because as much as you'd like it to be, football, at face value, does not serve the public interest in regard to broadcasting. This wreaks of Senator Spinchter using his connections to help out his buddies at Comcast. What's worse is that it involves the FCC in a matter of programming. Nezt thing, they'll be forcing cable companies to run whatever networks have the best lobbiests. That's all we need.
- O.J. Simpson's lawyer can't understand how a jury could actually have convicted his client. The ghost of Johny Cochran unavailable for comment.
- John McCain sure has some funny ideas about who he wants as a running mate.
- Today's List: Elgin Baylor's worst draft picks.
