Better Dead Than Red

In which your editor pontificates on why not to get upset over the endless, cold assault happening to our favorite team during their big trip to Boston. Hint: It rhymes with “always been fliserable.” Bonus Hint: It also rhymes with “not that schmood.” [Mouthpiece Sports]

Cheering for the Other Guys

So the Sox are out. Now what? Now we rebound.
National League Championship Series, Dodgers vs. Phillies: Phillies fans, as we all know, are insane. And hateful. And spiteful. And mean. And their players carp a lot to the press. Also, Joe Torre and Manny Ramirez don’t need any more glorification in the sports press. Sox/35th [...]

Bold Predictions: A Non-Vote of Confidence

What we talk about when we talk about Non-Sox playoff series:
Cubs/Dodgers: If the Sox win (more on that tomorrow), may the Cubs win as well; if not, well, it will at least be kind of fun to watch Carlos Zambrano murder one (or many!) of his teammates on national television. Whatever. Prediction: Cubs in 4 OR Dodgers [...]

But the Question Is “Why?”

Four game sweep by Boston, outscored 46-7 by the time it was over. What else can you say? If you’re the White Sox marketing team, apparently not very much:
