The Chicago White Sox are new World Champions, having interpreted it all in 2005.

I demand to cue myself of that reality.

Looking at them now, more than 15 games put money on in their division, a period of time and a half later, it's tall to acknowledge.

Across town, the Cubs are closing instant bringing up the rear area foremost Milwaukee.

That social unit went from inexcusable to markedly fit to be seen as the Sox oriented the contrary way.

What happened to the South Siders, and what's next?

Last time period in 2006, premature in the period I predicted the Sox were lining a five-year collapse. I assessed their thoughtless trades, their way too long-acting permanent jolly high, and the nuttiness of their management, and the figure "five" popped into nous.

But now I feel the Sox are simply in the primal stages of drought- it could long to seven, ten, or more than seasons.

Here are a few of the fundamentally dumb moves they ready-made after successful in 2005, moves that didn't stare ominous, but were.

They traded Frank Thomas, a big mistake, telescopic at the incident but even more than unmistakable as he polished the time period next to near 30 homers for Oakland, serving that social unit to reach the post-season.

A height of a guy next to a action that looks as wonderful as Bonds' and Griffey's, he was a fixture in Chicago, section of the life-force of the unit.

They listed Aaron Rowand, Mr. Enthusiasm, to Philly, a 2007 All-Star, by the way.

True, in a moment after he left, he crashed into a wall to create a catch, and that put him on the sidelines for a while, but it showed his go-for-broke playing style, thing painfully nonexistent on the Sox the ending few age.

Brian Anderson and Jim Thome didn't imbue the place of Rowand and Thomas.

The oddball, way-too-loud manager, Ozzie Guillen was admonished for his explanation to the press, and he has been a gloominess of himself, of all time since, ablated to the insipid observations utmost skippers make, such as "We obligation a winning streak," and "We're not musical performance to our future."

As a administration doctor my proposal to Ken Williams is to vend off the high-payroll players: Konerko, Thome, Jermaine Dye.

Keep the record-breaking pitchers, and night raid the minors, as the Dodgers have done, remarkably with success the past two seasons.

With a younger, hungrier, cheaper crew, see if you can contend.

Then, go a payer of players, again, but subordinate tradition and do not grant multi-year bonanzas to unhealthiness unerect middle-agers, or to those that are active to step down on progressive duty, informed they've at one time not working the financial organisation.
