Lucky
tree, no one sees if it’s an awkward or silly exit from this world. Not so my White Sox. They played to an empty stadium yesterday,
and still the world knows they laid an egg vs. the O’s, 8-2.
With
racial unrest gripping Baltimore, MLB decided the game must go on, not in
Chicago or D.C., where there are empty stadium at the ready, but at Camden
Yards, which was to be made empty for the safety of the fans (in order to
protect the village, first we must destroy…).
If only they could’ve enforced a news’ blackout so nobody would know how
Jeff Smardzija coughed up six runs in the first inning. We traded four prospects to Oakland for this
kind of performance?
Marcus
Semien, one of those prospects, is batting .298 with 12 rbi’s for the A’s. Had we kept him, Semien would’ve played second,
where Micah Johnson is batting .244 with 0 rbi’s. Johnson is supposed to be fast, yet Semien
has more runs scored and stolen bases.
Don’t get me wrong. I like
Johnson, and I can even stand the Smardzija deal, but things aren’t clicking as
we head into the second month of the season.
Somebody wake Robin up in the dugout to convey concerns.
In
the meantime, it feels like that tree is landing on my head, again and again.
