KENNY WILLIAMS COMEDY HOUR

by T, The Angry T

I am certain that White Sox GM Kenny Williams wanted to let the upcoming series with the Cubs come and go without having to make comments about the Cubs. I am sure he was tricked into making comments like:

"The unfortunate thing for me is it's a shame that a certain segment of Chicago refused to enjoy a baseball championship being brought to their city. The only thing I can say is, 'Happy anniversary' (referring to the 100 anniversary of the Cubs' last world series)."

Damn those crafty reporters, always tricking Kenny into making outlandish and ridiculous comments about anyone and everything, like this for instance:

(on whether he would ever take a job with the deep-pocketed, free-spending Cubs)

"That would be a betrayal," Williams said before a long pause. "God, I would really, really have to need the job. Oh, wow, really need the job."

At this point, Kenny went into a stand-up routine on his feelings on the Cubs, which began with, "It's tough to tell who is under more pressure right now, Neil Cotts to get someone out or the elastic waistband on Lou Pinella's pants. He closed with "Boy that Felix Pie is in a slump huh? It looks like he is trying to hit with Ron Santo prosthetic leg. Too Soon? You been a great group of writers, I'll be in the front office all year, make sure to tip you vendors.

Thanks Ken, but if I want funny, I'll stick with Paula Poundstone.
