We've all taken pictures that later in life we regret. We look at them 10, 20 years later and go why did I take that picture? In the world of professional sports there are also images that those paid professionals would like to forget.
Robin Ventura getting his breakfast handed to him by a 95 year old Nolan Ryan, AJ getting clobbered by Michael 'Hong Kong Phooey' Barrett and the picture of all pictures Ozzie Guillen choking himself in 2005 while they were winning but see they ain't winning no mo. In fact they stink. They have been horrible since the all star break in 2006. The bullpen smells like ASS and they can't beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not the 'We Are Family' Pittsburgh Pirates but the we ain't much like family Pirates of 2007.Yet I still believe in my heart of hearts this team will rebound and finish strong...okay maybe not World Series strong but strong without tearin' up too much of your squad. It kills me however to wear the hat, support my squad, love my Mighty Whiteys but c'mon now folks they really stink and Ozzie has done everything except get back on the field and take grounders at short. This team needs nothing more than a tune up and a Ouija board. Look toward next year but don't white flag this season not yet because in baseball every team is a streak away from being great or horrid. This edition of the White Sox should point back to 2005 and realize that they won because of the bullpen. They had horses who would burn their mother's house down to get on that mound.
They had decent hitting. Some call it small ball or Ozzie ball I call it playground ball. Remember those days when you weren't big enough to hit homers so you hit seeing eye singles, huge doubles and the major league ready triple...these Sox can't get a Dairy Queen triple and a bag of fries - it's bad and getting worse. But remember it's all about images and the picture of Ozzie choking himself is dramatic poetry.
