Dumb

The White Sox took a road series for the first time since early August, beating the Red Sox 3-2 in a rain-abbreviated six-inning affair. Mike Clevinger pretty much guaranteed that he’ll get himself a nice contract somewhere with his fifth consecutive walk-free start while Elvis Andrus pretty much guaranteed adding another season to his fifteen-year career with a two-run double. Andrus was batting .208 going into August. He hit .346 that month and is hitting .321 so far in September. That’s boosted his season’s average up to .255 with forty-four RBIs. Not bad for the thirty-five year old veteran. For his part, Luis Robert Jr. stole a base yesterday, but I’m not sure that was a good thing. Dumb, maybe. Oh, Robert now joins Magglio Ordonez as one of only two players in team history to record thirty-plus homeruns and doubles along with at least twenty stolen bases. Lot of good that did Ordonez with the Sox front office. And Robert? He bruised his left knee sliding into second. But, hey, now Chris Getz has a possible injury excuse if he wants to dump his center fielder. That’s sort of the White Sox Way.
