You know, I kind of like the "Chicagoist" third-person schtick. It harkens back to the olden days of journalism, sort of like the New York Times referring to everyone as "Mr. Man" or "Ms. Woman." A nice throwback for new media. I say keep it.

Is anyone else just completely fed up with everything being referred to as "Chicagoist?" Yes. It would be less aggravating if "Chicagoist" wrote like HST.

Is anyone else just completely fed up with everything being referred to as "Chicagoist?" More like: "Benjy Lipsman had spent part of Saturday afternoon watching Buehrle pitch..." because certainly not all the Chicagoist authors were watching the Sox.

Good for the Sox...even as a Cubs fan this thing was really starting to piss me off. When I heard rumors that the MLBPA tried to block the deal because they thought he could get more money on the open market I was livid. I've always thought Buehrle was a punk but I have a lot of respect for any player who gives his team a hometown discount in this day and age.

It's about time. Now let's see if we can trade Contrerras and Dye.
