FWIW, the ChiSox version during the '86 Mets reign wasn't so great either:

I love that jersey. Seriously.
And I'm surprised they're not playing up the Shoeless Joe Jackson story.
Ao Joe, in the scene in Field of Dreams where Joe Jackson talks to Ray Kinsella about heaven, fog is seen creeping out of the corn field and across the diamond. This was not a special effect — the fog had actually come in at the time.

1. Fag.
2. I think you'll only see them speak to him specifically when they're talking about the Hall of Fame. Otherwise, he's just one of the eight. Even though he hit something like what, .375 that series?

In 1958 Colavito batted .303 with 41 homers and 113 RBI. In 1959 he became the first Indian to have two 40-HR seasons; his 42 tied him with Harmon Killebrew for the AL lead. That June 10, he hit four HR in consecutive at-bats in a game at Baltimore. Cleveland fans were stunned when GM Frank Lane sent him to Detroit for batting champion Harvey Kuenn the following April; Lane had actually had a clause in Colavito's 1959 contract that would have rewarded the slugger for hitting fewer than 40 homers. After a year of adjustment in Detroit in 1960 (he had only 87 RBI), Colavito had his greatest season, hitting .290 with 45 HR and 140 RBI.
Some still consider the Colavito-Kuenn trade highly responsible for the ensuing decades of baseball mediocrity in Cleveland.

Oh please. That's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of stupid transactions in the history of the Cleveland Baseball Team.
Shit, Joe Jackson was a Cleveland Indian before he went to the Sox.
Dennis Eckersley for Bo Diaz and Rick Wise. Rick Fucking Wise? And poor Bo -- killed by a satellite dish.
Luis Tiant for Gregg Nettles and a bag of sweat socks? And then they let Nettles go to the Yanks.
Buddy Bell for Toby Harrah?
Not to mention those glory years of the 1960's and 70's where we basically served as a Triple-A farm team for the Yankees. (Nettles and Chambliss, anyone? Good times.)

Nah, we did manage to get him back, but it was after the Rock's best years were behind him.
Fucking cheap-ass ownership.

Yeah, and they can't both lose the game. It doesn't work that way. So I root against the state that was in play in 2004. |

For Sebby's sake, they'd better be flat-front cranky pants.

I've bought season tickets for the Piston's for the last two years. The main reason is to be able to get to the playoff games, for sure. I spent 80 gazillion dollars, but I've been to 6 finals games. It was worth 80 Gazillions*.
Spend the money. 10 years from now $1000 won't mean much, the Sox won't have been there again, and you'll have the memories.
*I just meant lots of money, not 80K.
