...The Ugly

It's sad to see one of the great players in your organization leave like Magglio Ordonez did, but it's really sad when he goes and says, "Why not the Cubs?... I think it would be a good place for me. They have great fans. They're sold out every day. They have great pitching and they have a good chance to win it all. All I want to do is win. Winning is my No. 1 priority."

What a slap to the face of White Sox fans who cheered for him and revered him for years! What else does Maggs go on to say?

"I wanted to come back, but they never made me feel comfortable that they wanted me. They never said, 'We want you here. We want you to be our franchise player.' I was almost traded to Boston. How could I feel comfortable they really wanted me after that happened?"

Never made you feel comfortable? $14 million a year isn't "comfortable?" Believe me, if I had a $14 million a year salary, I'd be pretty damn confortable. And about being traded to Boston, remember Magglio that YOU were the one who wouldn't re-sign with the Sox, and thus made you tradeable.

I liked Magglio better when he didn't say anything. Now the truth comes out. Winning is his No. 1 priority, but only after he gets the Sacajuweas. Go ahead Maggs, sign with the Cubs. If you thought Sammy Sosa got booed at Comiskey, you haven't heard anything yet...
