Christmas Presents for my teams.
Posted by Scott on December 25, 2008
Well since today is Christmas, we’ll go through the presents and things that my favorite teams need in alphabetical order by team.
Chicago White Sox – Our present for you is a true leadoff man/centerfielder. Right now you have Jerry Owens pencilled in for that role, and that’s fine for now. But, at some point we need someone who can get a decent ops in that slot. Stocking stuffers are more pitching depth including a 4th and 5th starter.
Detroit Pistons – My first choice of present would be to undo the Billups for Iverson trade. But, since we can’t do that..my present is that this team finds out it’s identity as quickly as possible. I have the feeling this season has been given up on for free agency. So the only true wish I would have would be to go back in time and convince Joe D. to draft Chris Bosh instead of Darko Milicic.
Detroit Red Wings – Your present is that you get over your post-Cup hangover and start playing defense the way you are capable of and that Chris Osgood begins to regain his form.
Newcastle United – The present for this team would be that Michael Owen decides to remain with the team, and that Joe Kinnear (or potential successor) is able to find that right central midfield player with creativity to get the ball to the forwards in the right position to score. The current team is almost the best defensively that we’ve seen in a long time.
Oakland Raiders – My present here, is that we manage to find some offensive linemen to help protect Jamarcus Russell. We’ve got runners, and our receivers aren’t terrible. But by god, help the QB and the defense by blocking consistently.
Oklahoma Sooners – My present here, is that we are able to turn everything back in the face of the media by winning on January 8th 2009 in Miami. Number 8 would be that much sweeter if we can pull it off.
I excluded Barcelona from this list because they’re running at the top of La Liga, so the only present I could give would be to maintain status quo and win the Trebel with league, champions league, and kings cup trophies.
