Peekaboo

So, the White Sox are on the West Coast, and I didn’t stay up for the game.  The papers don’t carry late—to say nothing of not-so-late—scores, and I didn’t feel like listening to the sports on radio.  So, I went on MLB.com and slowly scrolled down the line scores.

Wow, the Sox scored five runs in the last three innings!  But then I scroll down just a little more to find out they lose to the Angels, 8-7.  So much for good Reynaldo Lopez, at least for a night, and I’m still waiting for any semblance of good from reliever Josh Osich.  Nothing like three two-out hits capped by a Justin Upton homerun to keep your team in the game.  How do you say Mike Pelfrey, Chris Volstad, Ronald Belisario, Michael Ynoa…

And I doubt if I’ll listen much to the game tonight.  Steve Stone is on vacation (and this might be a good time for him to consider retirement), so Jason Benetti has invited Bill Walton to join him in the broadcast booth.  Yes, that Bill Walton, who is to baseball what Stone is to the NBA.  Why such a pairing?  Because nothing counts in a rebuild, that’s why.
