Mysterious White Sox staff firings
The White Sox announced before Friday's game with the San Francisco Giants that they have fired three members of their Latin American scouting staff, including David Wilder, senior director of player personnel. Full-time scout Victor Mateo and part-time scout Domingo Toribio were dismissed for actions in Latin America that were deemed violations of club policy and standards. The firings followed a two-month investigation by Major League Baseball, the findings of which are now in the hands of federal authorities, limiting what general manager Ken Williams could say. Williams said Wilder was being internally investigated since the start of spring over dealings with the Sox' up-and-coming baseball academy in the Dominican Republic. He described a feeling of betrayal by Wilder, a man Williams hired and considered a close friend.

Sox fans are just upset because Chicago will always be a Cub town. Even after winning the World Series it remains a Cub town!

Maybe that White Sox nacho stand outside the Academy was a front for the illegal trafficking of Dominican Grandma Porn DVD's by these three. Dominican Grandma's Gone Wild.

Aside from the casual baseball tourists from Iowa, it appears all Cub fans are nothing but high school girls, worrying about who's the most popular. "You won the World Series, but now you're bad." "You won the World Series, but we're still more popular." And it goes on and on. Notice though, that all of those start with the words "You won the World Series"...and that's REALLY what makes you guys so bitter. 1 9 0 8 ladies...suck on it.
