    Dudes, instead of “Platinum Sombrero” you should call it the Mongolian War Helmet

  2. Mike Fletcher says:

    Nice blog gentlemen! And chalk up another “golden sombrero” for Adam Dunn today. He’s definitely destined for 200+ strikeouts this year. Between he, Jake Peavy and Rios they consume better than 50% of the White Sox payroll and provide about 5% of the offensive and pitching production. Thanks once again Kenny Williams, the GM who makes trades no one else would touch.
