Are We There Yet?

White Sox - 6
Mariners - 3

I think that my feelings on the current White Sox campaign are best summed up by the following:

I don't know what to say. This has been the most mediocre season in a while, and I'm ready for it to be over now please. The '07 team was awful, but at least they fully committed to suck. This team is streaky, and that's a lot worse in my opinion. It's certainly more difficult to watch. Anyway, I've been ready to be done with 2009 for a while now when it comes to the Sox. I'm ready to take in playoff baseball!

Ahh... 2010. You can't be any more frustrating than this year... can you? I can't wait to get to the free agency period- to see who comes, and who goes. I can't wait to learn about new prospects. To see if Thome makes his return. I can't wait to see that rotation roll out- Peavy to Buerhle to Danks to Floyd to... hey- I can't wait to see who's our #5! I can't wait to see Gordon Beckham continue to grow, hopefully in a lineup anchored by an actual leadoff hitter. There's a lot of questions about next year, as there are every year... but there's a decent amount to be excited about. The team coming into this season looked terrible, any way you break it down. I feel like Kenny has taken steps to improve them as well as set us up to make further improvements in the very near future. Let's just get there please!

The only thing I'm not looking forward to in 2010 is the return of Scott Podsednik. In my world, that's equal to the Predator solving Dutch's trap, and walking around the log. Fuck you, Podsednik, you dick. I hate that I have to watch them roll your incompetent ass out in a White Sox uniform again next year.

The Palehose are currently duking it out with those juggernauts of the Pacific Northwest, the Seattle Mariners. The score is 6 to Don Wakamatsu's Bulge, in favor of the Sox. It's the 9th, and surprise, the Sox are trying their best to blow the game. I don't know. Who gives a shit anymore. I'm done with this incarnation of my franchise. It is dead to me.

So whaddya say, Seattle!? Let's all have ourselves a good time, and head on down by Pike Street Market to watch a bunch of paint-huffing, coffee-swilling wharf people chuck dead fish around.

UPDATE: Sox win! EXPENSIVE SILK UNDERGARMENTS FOR EVERYONE! Sox are 5.5 back, but I'm not holding my breath.
