Don't Worry, Be Happy

After dropping a 2-0 contest to the Marlins last night, the White Sox have gone 1-6 against Kansas City (39-64) and Miami (38-62), teams that could accurately be labelled as “bottom feeder.”  So, why did the Sox fare poorly?  Oh, that’s right, we’re still in rebuild mode.  Scores and records don’t count until you’re ready to contend.  Just ask Jerry and Rick.

What really bugged about last night’s broadcast—in addition to the Sox being handcuffed on two hits by the immortal Zac Gallen, who picked up his first major-league win, wouldn’t you know—was the mix of baseball and fundraising for White Sox charities; fans were encouraged every half inning until 9 PM to bid on some goodie (golf with Hawk and Wimpie, anyone?).  The organization can’t field a winning baseball team, and I’m supposed to trust them spending my money for charity?  No thanks.

At least I didn’t see any of those irritating “authentic fans” commercials that both the Sox and Cubs like to run.  My friends, an authentic fan on the South Side is anyone who can put up with the crap that passes for progress in a rebuild without switching allegiance to another team, or sport.
