Impatient

How bad are the Bulls and Blackhawks? So bad that the White Sox and Cubs seem to be getting extra coverage in the opening days of spring training. Otherwise, I might not have seen video of new Sox manager Pedro Grifol wearing his sunglasses on the back of his head. What, the bill of his cap was busy? The Sox will start playing games next weekend, at which point we’ll see how accurate the latest PECOTA projections are, he South Siders pegged at 77.7 wins, vs. 77.1 for the Cubs. And this makes me mad. Part of it is that old South Side attitude, heavy on the Rodney Dangerfield. No respect, we don’t get no respect. Unless, of course, we don’t deserve any. How do you say Tony LaRussa and Mike Clevinger? Things will get better, or they’ll get worse. The good news is they won’t stay the same. Either Grifol challenges for AL Manager of the Year, or this whole rebuild collapses, taking Rick Hahn and the rest of the front office with him. Whichever. Just so the whole thing starts happening already. That’s all I ask.
