Soxman just picked up some Weed-B-Gon for Joakim Noah. He’s so considerate that way. Join us on Facebook at redeyechicago.com/facebookfives.

TOPIC 1: GIVE JOAKIM NOAH SOME ADVICE.

Claim it was for medical purposes — to treat the glaucoma that resulted in your .482 FG%.

Just say you didn’t inhale.

Actually, I recommend you call Soxman for advice. Two words: never convicted.

Stay positive. It’s always darkest before the dawn. The grass is always greener … uh, never mind.

No, I know from watching game tape it’s not the first time someone stopped him on a drive.

TOPIC 2: Write A POEM ABOUT WHITE SOX SLUGGER CARLOS QUENTIN.

The leader in homers is a hero to me / Carlos you’re an All Star and the AL MVP!

Carlos Quentin, don’t stop hittin’ / but I wouldn’t mind, the Cubs are mine.

Just when we thought Kenny Williams was a fool / he made the D-backs GM look like a tool.

More fly than Dye, more pop than Pierzynski / makes his homey Thome look like Tim Kazurinsky.

I appreciate that you’re going berserk-o / Please teach your technique to one Paul Konerko.

TOPIC 3: WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM SUNDAY’S INDY 500?

I thought this was only the fourth Indy movie.

After the hype, it’s still just cars going around in a circle.

Danica Patrick is the

Hillary Clinton of auto racing.

It’s not an indie film festival like

I … like Soxman thought.

First make sure you can hide behind security before you plow into Danica Patrick’s car.

TOPIC 4: A RED SOX FAN HAD HIS BABY BAPTIZED AT FENWAY PARK. COMMENTS?

TOPIC 4: A RED SOX FAN HAD HIS BABY BAPTIZED AT FENWAY PARK. COMMENTS?

I was baptized at Comiskey Park and look at how well I turned out.

Holy cow! It must have taken an eternity to fill the stadium with water.

I have no problem with it, but it did seem weird to pour beer on a baby’s head.

That’s progress. They never got Manny Ramirez to even take a bath.

Ah … dude … that was NOT holy water.

TOPIC 5: WHAT WILL BE THE NEXT GAFFE INVOLVING ALFONSO SORIANO?

No gaffe was bigger than

eight years and $136 million.

Hard to tell, but it’ll probably be from Brookfield. What? Oh, I thought you said “giraffe.”

He’ll lose his calf in the sun.

He’ll give Fukudome the ill-conceived nickname “Rev. Right Field.”

He’ll use the Bulls’ No. 1 pick to draft Jackie Moon.
