30 Teams in 30 Days: Chicago White Sox

30 Teams in 30 Days is a preseason feature to highlight the significant changes to each of the major league teams. It's meant to get everyone up to speed before our pre-season predictions in mid-March.

Going into the 2008 season I made the prediction that the White Sox would finish around the 85 win mark. Mendoza told me I was out of my mind, but fuck him, he also told me the Pirates were going to be better than the Rays. Breakout performances from Carlos Quentin, Alexei Ramirez, Gavin Floyd, and John Danks propelled the Sox to the division crown.

Gone are Orlando Cabrera, Nick Swisher, Joe CREDE!!!!, Ken Griffey Jr, Juan Uribe, and Javier Vazquez.

The White Sox were often criticized in 2008 for being a station to station team. The infusion of young talent along side heavy hitting veterans gives the Sox high hopes entering the season. Only time will tell if GM Kenny Williams will find gold again in his unproven youth.

Real Knowledge and Credibility has Arrived

Ladies and gentleman, you will not have to read the same lame, biased opinion from all the White Sox fans who started this blog. Luckily for all of you, I am here to counteract all of the vomit that comes out of their mouths.

Despite the fact the Cubs haven't won a world series in 100 years, these people are essentially jealous of Cub-dom. Don't worry folks, you will run into these types of people all the time. I have to admit I love my Cubbies, regardless of the worst century for any professional sports organization ever.

However, I will not allow that to taint my perspective on other major league issues, players, and teams. I plan to contribute news, non-biased opinions, awfully terrible predictions and things that will be hard for the average baseball fan to find while adding my wonderful sense of humor to all of it.

I'm kidding about those awful predictions, without question, I will prove to be the best predictor of the bunch in 2009. Just use my prediction that the Pittsburgh Pirates would win more games than the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008 as an indicator to what I can do.

I hope to see you all around. Enjoy!
