Trivial Pursuit

Yesterday, the White Sox used four pitchers who combined for a twelve-hit, 8-4 loss in Cleveland. The thing of it is, I couldn’t name any of them if you asked me. Just as well for a team 25-64, one game better than the ’62 Mets at the same point in the season. If only I could forget the name of manager Mickey Mouse. If only. Lately, his Kops have been oopsing and dropping and catcher-interfering, all of which led him yesterday to proclaim it’s, “Just little things, little details. The game came [down] to a few decisions that we opted in another direction that cost us.” [quote from story in today’s Sun-Times] Opting to lose—that would explain a franchise picking Mouse to manage in the first place.
