UPDATE: Chicago White Sox Postseason Predictions

After Ozzie Guillen sent closer Bobby Jenks out to work a THIRD inning Thursday night in Minnesota, a 10th frame that would see the culmination of a Minnesota rally from a 6-1 deficit back to win and knock the Sox out of first place, here are my newly updated postseason predictions for the White Sox.

SP: Javy Vazquez will dig around in his attack for the dusty box that has "Clutch" written on the top in magic marker. Hopefully he'll dust off his "Clutch" and bring it with him to Spring Training next year. Too bad it was in his attic this whole September.

C: A.J. Pierzynski makes a few professional wrestling cameos in his home state of Florida.

1B: Paul Konerko will polish his World Series ring and the frame on his "Never Leaving Chicago" pass from Jerry Reinsdorf.

2B: Alexei Ramirez (a.k.a. the Cuban Missile) will undoubtedly take up some Berlitz lessons and apply to stay out of Cuba until March.

SS: Orlando Cabrera will continue throwing the Sox under the bus in free agency.

3B: Joe Crede will again refuse to have back surgery and will sign a mediocre contract somewhere else. He will also continue to be thankful for signing with Scott Boras and turning down a multi-year offer from the White Sox before 2006.

LF: Carlos Quentin will answer every "What if" question there is and confidently answer that he was the missing link in the offense the last month of the season.

RF: Jermaine Dye will probably find a massage parlor to get his back and neck worked on; he's sore from carrying the team since Aug. 1.

CF: Brian Anderson (hopefully) will hit puberty.

DH: Jim Thome will go big-game hunting in Peoria, IL. He won't kill anything, though...Thome has yet to see a big game he could do anything with.

Manager: Ozzie Guillen will viva en Venezuela for a few months, cursing Jay Mariotti and barking about the Cubs' shadow while watching teams with less talent play in the postseason for the third consecutive year

GM: Kenny Williams, after having drafted one of Guillen's sons and his own the past two drafts, will dispatch two scouts to Thanksgiving at Don Cooper and Joey Cora's houses to see where the next "top tier" talent is coming from to build the organization into a winner.
