Boy, Crede has really come out of his shell.
A couple of years ago, that would have been unthinkable for him to do something like that.
Is it a coincidence that Crede really came out of his shell about the same time the White Sox picked up Pierzynski? I think not.
Pierzynski's impact has been profound both on and off the field.
Personally, I think it's great to have these kinds of personalities on a ballclub...it's endearing. It's a game. It should be fun...seems like these guys get that.
This team must be a marketing dream.
EDIT: It should be mentioned that in 2005, a similar "chemistry" and "culture" contributed to that team winning a lot of ballgames. I know it can't be quantified; but, following that team as manically as I did, there is no doubt that their "chemistry" and their "culture" was conducive to winning.
Let's hope it helps in winning this season. If it's not, you can keep your Dirty Thirty.
