It's a blast: Some White Sox, Cheney share a hobby
BY MIKE DOWNEY

CHICAGO - Now you know why Ozzie Guillen was reluctant to go to the White House with the White Sox.

He was afraid Dick Cheney might be there and accidentally shoot him.
A baseball manager can handle being fired, but he sure hates being fired upon.

Knowing there was a chance that the vice president might show up for Monday's ceremony with President Bush honoring the team, a lot of the White Sox must have given serious thought to coming to the White House dressed in something bright orange. You know, so Cheney could see them better and not open fire.

"Orange alert" in Washington no longer indicates a threat of terrorism.
It means, "Look out, here comes Cheney with his shotgun!"

(snip)

It did make me wince when the first thing Buehrle said after the White Sox traded for Thome to replace Frank Thomas as the team's designated hitter was that he couldn't wait to take his new teammate out hunting. Mark, be careful. The team just got rid of one "Big Hurt." It doesn't need another.
