Why the hell does it have to be the White Sox??

I understand that we have a manager who is extremely outspoken and talks a lot of shit about other teams whenever he feels like it, but that fact alone should not be enough reason to say that the Sox are what every team in baseball is compared to now.

But what other reason is there? Certianly it isn't the level of success they achieved in the postseason last year, sweeping the Astros in the WS.... because didn't Boston do the same damn thing to the Cardinals the year prior? Why isn't everyone slicing and dicing the BoSox??
