CHICAGO - By the time you read this, Alfonso Soriano might already be a Chicago White Sox. I have no idea how to feel about this. It would transform the Sox lineup into the most powerful since at least the 1995 Indians. But it would make them decidedly weaker in terms of both their outfield defense (Podsednik to center, Anderson to the bench) and an already shaky bullpen.
We learned 2 things watching the White Sox last year, class: 1) Pitching wins championships and 2) no matter how easy the wins come in May and June it always gets real hot in August. Is Ken Williams feeling it?*
*Of course he's not feeling it. He's thought about the ins, outs and what-have-yous waaaay beyond my poor ability to add or detract.** But hell it's the Monday before the trading deadline; what am I going to do besides surf the net at work, pretending not to be buzzed from lunch and think about baseball?
**Do you think anybody ever has dropped Big Lebowski and Gettysburg address references into the same sentence? I'm so awesome.

I thought Soriano was going to be a Twin.
i was mostly impressed not by your sub-referencing, but by your dramatic change in font halfway through the post.
I made it smaller too, if you noticed. SNAP!
