Proof's in the Pudding

Poor Mickey Mouse. Before last night’s game with the Cubs, the White Sox manager offered a stout defense of beleaguered starter Lance Lynn as someone who’ll get to the seventh inning no matter what. Mouse was wrong, again. Lynn coughed up a five-run lead and had to exit in the fifth inning of his latest start, which turned into a 10-7 loss to the Cubs courtesy of Joe Kelly. Nothing like watching a reliever throw a wild pitch for strike three, hit a batter and then walk in two runs. Wait, there’s more. Rick Hahn has traded Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez, part of an earlier rebuild, for two prospects from the Angels. Sox fans are supposed to believe that Hahn will get it right with this move (and several more expected to follow) where he’s gotten it wrong so many times before. Going into the season, MLB.com ranked the Angels’ system second from the bottom. So, you know Hahn got quality. Again, I invoke Lee Dorsey by way of Devo: How long can this go on?
