I tried to post this last night but the MB was down. Lord, I hate that. Anyway, I can’t believe y’all don’t know that there is already a Doper Reading Group. It’s over at [Fathom’s Humanities Forum](http://fff.fathom.org/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Oh,+the+Humanities!&number=13&DaysPrune=20&LastLogin=). Right now we’re reading _To the White Sea_ by James Dickey and a few (I think Nu Vo Da Da and I are the only ones who haven’t given up) are reading _Ulysses_. New nominations from all genres are happily accepted and encouraged. ---

But I have no particular loyalty to New York City sports teams. **Scotticher** said: > [@](#): > > You know, dear, if you really DO have a low-level, message board kind of crush on Scotticher, which I am SURE you said somewhere, you should be courting her by placing her Mariner’s at the top of your list. I was hoping to impress you with my honesty and integrity, and the fact that I’m not a yes-man…or something like that. Besides, it appears the Ms are gonna bounce the White Sox in short order, which will elevate them to my AL favorites. > [@](#): > > Do I have to tell you EVERYTHING? Er…in my case it isn’t a bad idea. **rocking chair** said: > [@](#): > > white sox 1919. remember the black sox year? Not personally, no. 1917 was the last year the Sox _won_the World Series, which is the standard I’m using. In 1919 they lost/threw the Series to the Reds.
