You know
something’s changed when the Tribune sports’ section has a White Sox story on
page one, above the Bears and on Christmas Day, no less. By way of an omen, news on the Bulls and Cubs
was nowhere to be found.
I’m not a fan of
Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf or sportswriters who pretend to be general managers,
so forgive me if I’m slow to the Sox bandwagon in the wake of their signing
pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Dallas Keuchel.
The new hot rumor is Edwin Encarnacion at DH. Nothing says professional athlete as
mercenary pursuit like Bartolo Colon or Encarnacion. But, hey, Sox coverage on Christmas Day is a
small miracle in and of itself. And so
was my five-count.
Allow me to
explain. Every so often, I like to go on
baseball-reference.com, and it has nothing to do with RAR or WAR. No, they always put twelve player photos on
the home page. On very bad days, I guess
zero. Today, I got five. Try to slip David Eckstein and Jerry Koosman past
me. No way.
No on this Merry
Christmas.
