Jealous much, Morrissey?

I really hope we can shut up all these Sox fans who think we’ll just get swept out of the playoffs. Just because we’ve benefitted from a weak Central in the past and been outclassed in the playoffs doesn’t mean it’s the same this time around. This team is going to win around 96 games without Joe Nathan and without a legit MVP campaign Morneau for half the season, and have home field in at least the first round, and Morrisey calls them an “OK” squad. There will be no Game 163 to tire the team out and trip up the rotation, no starting two games in Yankee Stadium with Blackburn and a rookie Duensing to start the playoffs. Are these people totally unaware of circumstances changing from year to year? Yes, we kind of choked against Oakland in 2006, when Joe Mauer was 23 and Liriano was shelved in September for upcoming TJ surgery and missed the playoffs. Long time ago, difference circumstances, people. We were a couple breaks from beating the Yankees in ’04 and very close to really pushing them last year.

I’m really sick of hearing the “We have a World Series trophy and you don’t!” argument. It was 5 years ago. Does it really hold any relevance anymore?

One blind squirrel finds a nut championship in 94 years and they’re sticking their chests out like they’re the Yankees.

As for Morrissey, maybe he covered the Black Sox scandel or disco demolition night. It does’nt get anymore exciting than that,
