While he continues to wheel and deal to try to do anything and everything to make sure his team makes the postseason, I’d like to just take a look at what General Manager Kenny Williams did last offseason to give the White Sox a chance to contend in 2008 after a horrific 2007. Among all GM’s [...]

I said last night that I'd likely end up penning a mea culpa in apology of my earlier write-up of the Griffey trade. Well, reading it again, I still like what I wrote. In the comments at the time (though annoyingly not in the post), I said there should be about a two week cushion at which point we could expect Griffey's routine to have more or less become clear. To quote myself: If any of the parties...

(Boston Red Sox’ Paul Byrd goes high and tight) Red Sox GM Theo Epstein has taken off his monkey suit long enough to complete a phone call with Cleveland, acquiring RHP Paul Byrd for the Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later - although I’m going to guess the name won’t [...]

As Paul Konerko’s lineup position falls faster than the S&P 500, Kenny Williams knows he has to put an end to his jobs program for the fastball-impaired. Hampered by the .214-hitting, wild-throwing first baseman’s no-trade clause, Kenny’s justified in contemplating some oblique machinations. But…really, Ken Griffey Jr.? Intriguing. Early in ‘05 Williams came [...]

I really didn’t understand the thought process involved in demoting B&C’s favorite adult film star Lance Broadway after registering the first win out of the fifth spot in the White Sox rotation since June. I was perplexed even further when I learned Clayton Richard would start in his place. Once again though, Kenny Williams looks like [...]

The 2008 Olympics is something that as a Briton, may never forget. Its the first time in such a long time that we have had this many medals. For such a small country, Britain isn’t really doing that badly. I mean. We’re THIRD! Out of all the countries that entered we made it into 3rd position [...]

I loved the thread about Shopsin's, and the interesting thing is that every commenter is right on some level. I have known Kenny Shopsin for 25 years, and he is profane, unreasonable, more than occasionally rude, charming, funny, and totally ridiculous—sometimes all simultaneously. He's also a really good cook who can make me laugh, even while insulting me. Does that make me a masochist? I don't think...
