Feel the Excitement

If the White Sox win today and salvage a game against the Mets, they’ll have eighteen wins on the season. That would be three better than at the same point last season. You can feel the excitement. I mean, today’s lineup has just two players—Josh Rojas (.154) and Michael A. Taylor (.196)—hitting under .200 and two more—Andrew Benintendi (.216) and Joshua Palacios (.222)—hitting under .223. The Sox lineup totals 86 RBIs to the Mets’ 190. A tip of the cap to Sox hitting coach Marcus Thames. This time last year, the Mickey Mouse-led Sox were in the midst of a fourteen-game losing streak. Right now, New-Mickey Venable is working on a three-gamer. So, of course, I’m optimistic. Just kidding.
