Sure, this season for the White Sox is going to be mostly gloomy and miserable, but Lee Alan, the geek on duty at SSS, and his son, West Coast correspondent Will, will make this Sharing Socks session a blast. Start and finish.

I got lost. List of ESPN teams available for viewing. Well, I only made it to 29th place, but I still achieved it and it was delicious.
In between, well, the almost doom and gloom had to be pretty predominant. Because that's the reality. And whether you're at the bottom of the team in OBP or seeing the team's star player floundering weakly with a breaking ball that boasts a 50% strikeout rate, anyone who looks at the Sox's offense will be impressed. It will become more and more depressing.

To much of the rest of the White Sox fan base.
Oh yeah, there's also a little chat about the recent vote in Kansas City, the Class A's move to Sacramento, and Jerry Reinsdorf's current attempt to disenfranchise the people of Chicago and Illinois once again.
