If Only


With the rest of the world watching NCAA March Cash Madness, I probably had spring-training baseball all to myself, and I was more than happy to watch the White Sox beat the Cubs.  Note to the team favored to win the NL pennant in 2016: You may want to rethink things after John Danks (!) shuts you down over the course of five innings while striking out seven.  Ditto for the White Sox holding you guys to one hit on the game.
The Sox won by a score of 3-2 in a contest that went 2 hours and 22 minutes; it helps when both teams total all of five hits.  Better yet, there were no commercials.  Everything between innings was some sort of mini feature on the Sox.  I came away from the game not feeling beer bloat or the need to buy a car (or Viagra).  Talk about a pleasant surprise.  If only they could do this just once a week, if not on local broadcast then on MLB Network or Fox.  How about it, Commissioner Manfred?
