I got no horse in that race, so I can dislike the White Sox on their merits.
What is there to dislike about the White Sox? They are probably the best baseball story of this season.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Aw, come on. Everybody needs to have irrational dislikes.

What is even happening?
I want the White Sox to take it all. It's been since 1917, right? Their fans have waited long enough. And next year? The Cubbies.
The Hobson's Choice for them would be if the Cubs got into the World Series against the Yankees.
Narrator, what does Hobson's Choice mean?

But the most exciting part of my weekend was on Sunday, when I met James Howe--author of Bunnicula! I am happy to report that he is a totally great guy.
Jilli will be so jealous!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hobson's choice is like, Would I like to be beaten to death by an avalanche of yo-yos, or die in a terrible Zamboni accident? Either way, death and indignity, so it's not much of a choice.
What is there to dislike about the White Sox?
Hey, my dislike is totally rational. The catcher is a shmuck who looks like my old (hated) boss, and they wear black socks despite being called the White Sox. On that basis alone, they deserve only pity and contempt.
Also, I think Garland and Buerhle both are riding lucky streaks rather than being truly as dominating as they seem. A win's a win any way you get it, but it's much more fun to watch a win well-made than one pulled out of the hindparts of Fate.

All I care is, does this mean more baseball preemptions on Fox this week?
Change of season is screwing with my head. Either all congested or my eyeballs start to raisin. Uck.
I'd rather be my cats today.

Actually, there will probably be fewer this week, because the Sox-Angels series is done, although Fox will probably just replace the games that would have been with reruns.
