You know Sox fans, in recent games Nick Swisher and Carlos Quentin have hit home runs, slid into bases, and - crashed into walls!
So you know where this is going...do they have the fire....and....the passion? Yes or no?
Swisher is quickly rising up the ranks, but surprisingly, he has some work to do to catch Quentin
and, in an ode to GrinderPast meet GrinderPresent, the flame of passion past vs. torch of passion present...scroll down a little further
Oh yes - that's GrindErstad, diving head first into first base...showing the Fire and the Passion...and that's GrinderSwish, diving to tag out GrindErstad...
Which is akin to the Superfans asking themselves who would win a fight - Ditka, or Hurricane Ditka?...
Rick Armstrong 
Jim Owczarski 
Mike Knapp 
Todd M. Adams 
And of course this conversation just brings to light the fact that guys who run through walls must win ball games (see Aaron Rowand), and how "Grinderstadt" was all that was wrong on the South Side in 2007. So lets all get ahead of ourselves and draw up the parade route...all that said, I can't help but enjoy anything to help me forget last season. Could you imagine Hurricane Ditka vs. those '07 Sox...Nice.
Isn't this like Bizzaro World where Jerry, Kramer, and Newman meet Elaine and her new replacement friends on the street? Is Bizzaro Grindey tagging real Grindey, or can you only be Grindey as a White Sock playing for Ozzie? Does that make the above pictured Swisher more Grindey in retrospect as well? My mind is racing trying to figure this out.
