Everything is Relative

Wow. The Cardinals may actually be worse than the White Sox. That’s saying a lot. Last night, the visitors took a five-run lead against Sox starter Dylan “Alfred E.” Cease, only to give it all back in an eventual 8-7 Sox win. Anytime Jake Burger and Zach Remillard want to drive in three runs apiece is fine by me. Remillard has eleven RBIs in forty-nine at-bats to thirteen for Tim Anderson in 265 at-bats, BTW. Sportswriters this time of year love dividing teams into sellers and buyers. If the Sox trade away Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn, Rick Hahn will be raising a white flag—again—on the South Side. But what if they were to trade Anderson and commit to Colson Montgomery next season? Wouldn’t that be the stopped clock actually getting it right?
