Can't Bear to Look

Some people can’t bear to look in the mirror for fear of what they might see. SoxFest is that mirror for Jerry Reinsdorf and loyal underlings. Yesterday, the White Sox announced there’d be no fan convention next year “due to several factors.” Funny, I just looked but couldn’t find the announcement posted on the team website. Anyway, I’m pretty sure the motivation for cancelling was fear of peasants showing up with pitchforks, proverbial and otherwise. What a gutless bunch. This move leads me to suspect that a hot rumor making the rounds currently, that the Sox will interview Ozzie Guillen next week, is more hope than fact. If the Sox were going to hire Guillen, why cancel SoxFest? It would make Woodstock look like a wardens’ convention.
