From Cowley's piece in the bright one:

> An even more depressing thought is if the Sox continue to
spiral downward and can move some pieces, what are they then?
They’re a team with a core group of expensive, underachieving
talent surrounded by inexperience

i.e., the Cubs

See how many of the big words you actually know:

I for one am happy to now know the word "tincture"

Yeah, tincture was the new one on me as well. That was good! He
was having some fun and it showed. Cowley, Rogers, et al should
give that a good look.
Plus he makes the good point: The task is daunting, sure, but
the still-hopeful (will) cling to hitters returning to form,
with regression to statistical mean in various individual and
team categories all but certain, if perhaps not enough.
Improvement is bound to come, of course, but it may not get the
Sox back to being good. Last year’s flash-fire snap-back was an
anomaly, and can’t be expected to repeat itself.

This team is so bad that I have little hope for NEXT year, let
alone rebounding this year.

Methinks they may be bad for a few years, as King JR will seek
not to bring new prospective knights to the table but rather rid
the kingdom of the cost of his current legions by dumping their
salaries on neighboring royalty in trades that will only bring
mere serfs who will never rise to the challenge of a major
league joust. Expect not the mighty White Sox to reign again
until JR slayeths the two headed dragon that now terrorizes his
dominion and summons a new sorcerer who knoweth the value of
buidling a good farm system to provide warriors for the battle.
Wherefore art thou, Oh Larry Himes?!

I can't resist mentioning this because I see it so often.
Technically, that means something other than what you're going
for. "Wherefore" means "why". In the play whence that famous
quote is derived, Juliet is asking, in essence, "Romeo, why are
you a Montague?". Now, WHY she is asking that is a long story
that I don't have time to get into right now.
So perhaps "Wherefore art thou, Juan Pierre?" makes more sense.
And it sounds nice and pretty too.

Well, Juliet doesn't want Romeo to be a Montague. Life would be
easier for her if he wasn't.
Just like we don't want Juan Pierre to be... Juan Pierre.

Getting those draft picks to compensate for signing of Jackson
and Buerhle would be a nice step in the direction of building
the farm system. But why do I fear they would both accept
arbitration and extend "we're all in (this pile of crap
together)" for 2012?

Stupid poll of the day on Trib site: Who was worst signing,
Boozer, Dunn or Pena.
Boozer has had injuries but effective when healthy, Dunn and
Pena have been with their teams 1 month of a 6 month season.
Lazy.
