Oh, Happy Day

The Sad Sox won their 34th game 149 games into the season, beating the A’s last night 7-6 on a walk-off homerun by Andrew Benintendi in the bottom of the ninth. Maybe that will increase Benintendit’s trade value in the offseason. According to Paul Sullivan in today’s Tribune, the Sad Sox are sponsoring a boat trip on the Chicago River to where they want a new, publicly-subsidized stadium built for them. Far be it from me to wish another Titanic on the passengers. A Marie Celeste would do just fine.
