Even when he was a Dodger, I always wanted to grab Steve Garvey by the neck and force him to go bobbing for french fries.

I talked briefly about this on twitter but I figured this crowd might appreciate it more. So I was off Monday and more or less snowed (iced?) in and I watched the Joy in Wrigleyville MLB documentary on YouTube. After that it autoplayed an MLB Network documentary about the 90s Indians (The Dynasty that Almost Was) which I enjoyed. Then it autoplayed one about the 84 Padres (I can see now why you all really, really hate Steve Garvey. He comes off as a sanctimonious prick and then I googled his stat line and saw that fucker had a .680 OPS with 8 homers in the regular season yet hit .400/.429/.600 in that series and now I'm mad about a guy that retired before I was born).

Anyway, after all of that, and long after I had buried myself in Funyons and lost the remote, SOX PRIDE: THE STORY OF THE 2005 WHITE SOX (narrated by Hawk Harrelson) started and for some reason I made myself watch like 30 minutes of it and they spend at least 5-10 minutes of their world series documentary bragging about taking 2 of 3 games at Wrigley from a 79 win Cubs team. I don't know what is more sad, that they felt the need to put AND DEY BEAT DA CUBZ in their world series film, or that they really didn't, considering the Cubs took 2/3 at Comiskular later in the year to tie the season series at 3-3. I can say I've watched like 3-4 different documentaries or shows about the Cubs winning the World Series and the White Sox are never even mentioned.

You wrote a post mentioning both Steve Garvey and Hawk Harrelson.
I'm gonna punch you so hard.

Sorry, SKO. Those are the rules.

I mean as a Cubs fan who largely associates with older Cubs fans I felt cheated of my 1984 Scars when we would all play our favorite game of Who's More Grizzled, so if Flannj wants to punch me in the face because he's mad about Steve Garvey I feel like that would count as 84-related trauma.

No, just the shoulder because I like you.

He's absolutely a fist magnet.

oh my god that's amazing. So many Classic Desipio^TM moments came from that 06-07 time period it feels like.

I read that thread from start to finish, and goddamn, we're a bunch of fucking idiots.

I can't believe it's been over a decade.

I've been to Wrigley over 300 times in my life and can honestly say that this would be in the Top 5.

Eloy isn't happy with Sox management. Bryant's went nowhere, so there's likely nothing to swee here.

Man, it's a good thing the Sox went out and signed all those guys who are close to Machado.

They were signed for one reason and one reason only: Rick Hahn wanted them to introduce him to Manny during a spring training game. Mission. Accomplished.

The Sox just signed Eloy for 6 years, $43 million. So basically, if he's able to post a WAR over 1 each year, the Sox get over like fat rats.
