A Baseball Update

Things have gone from bad to worse for my South Side heroes, the Chicago White Sox. As of yesterday, they are 27-81, 54 games under .500, by far the worst team in baseball. They have now lost 14 games in a row. I know they are rebuilding, but how can they be that bad? Even my adopted hometown team, the Colorado Rockies, who were supposed to be bad, and are, are a less horrible 31 games under .500. And although they are also in last place, they have only lost 4 in a row as of yesterday. At least with the Rockies you have a chance to see them win a game once in a while. As for the Chicago Cubs, the North Side rivals of the Sox, they are a mere 5 games under .500. And although they are in 4th place,10 games out of first, they are 5-5 over their past 10 games. They are mediocre, but my only wish now is for the White Sox to start playing mediocre ball. As of now, I wonder if they will ever win another game. Hearts are heavy on the South Side these days, although to be honest, I doubt anyone is truly surprised. Nobody on either side of Chicago has ever been surprised at how bad their team is. Wait until next year, people. Or perhaps next decade.
