Introducing the cover of White Sox Outsider 2010

You got Palehose in my Sox Machine!
You got Sox Machine in my Palehose!
You got that right, boys and girls -- along with all the insight and wit you come to expect from the Sox Machine brand, White Sox Outsider 2010 will feature the terrific artwork of Palehose cartoonist Carl Skanberg.
I'll release more details about the books in the coming weeks, but I'm holding off for the time being as I hold my breath to make sure the Sox don't do anything to blow up my in-depth pieces and farm system report.  If you bought White Sox Outsider 2009 (and of course you did... didn't you?), just picture it with 2009-10 content, different essays and cartoons that drive points home, and you're most of the way there. It's truly two great tastes that taste great together.
And if you didn't buy White Sox Outsider 2009, there's still plenty of time.  Others can speak up for it, but in re-reading it many times while working on the site and the upcoming book, I think it holds up well.

Christian Marrero Reading Room:
*Speaking of Carl, he sums up the DH predicament at Smells Like Mascot.
*Speaking of which, the slow dance continues to play out.  Jim Thome says all the right things to Scott Merkin. Meanwhile, the Sox are still sponsoring his charity event for the Children's Hospital of Illinois in Peoria. In my mind, I'm thinking, "Will you two just get it on so I can figure out if he's a eulogy or a preview?"
