Tea Leaves
In the past week I’ve read predictions
of where free-agent Manny Machado will go based on pictures he’s posted on
social media. The fielding gloves he’s
ordered for the new season are white and black.
Those are the White Sox team colors.
Ergo, Machado to the Sox. Maybe.
Wait, Manny has posted a picture
of baby shoes bearing the Sox logo! (I
actually scooped my daughter on this one when we were at dinner with her and
Chris last week. Of course, she immediately
whipped out her phone to search for the photo).
Again, maybe.
It’s a good thing these purported
analysts hang that “maybe” at the end of their speculation. Otherwise, it’d sound like a prediction, the
kind psychics give to gullible customers.
And that would be a crime. Come
to think of it, all these Machado-maybes are an offense.
