Words Fail

Leadoff batter Shohei Ohtani homered on the sixth pitch of the ballgame, and that was enough for the Dodgers to hand the White Sox their twelfth shutout of the season, 4-0. But Mickey’s kids did manage four hits on the night, and only three of them were singles. After the game, manager Mouse opened his mouth to let words spill out; none of them made sense or explained how a professional baseball team could go 21-61, with the dog days a good month away. Heaven help us all.
