My Southside heros, the Chicago White Sox, are in the playoffs for the first time in many years, and today start a three game wildcard series against the Oakland A's. The Chicago Cubs, the city's Northside baseball club, also made the playoffs. I watched those two teams face each other in the final three games of the season on MLB.com this past weekend. The games were held at Guaranteed Rate Field, which has been home to the White Sox ever since they tore down Comiskey Park, a disgraceful act that I will not rant about - at least not now. In any case, the White Sox were blown out in the first game by a score of 12 to nothing, won the second game 9 to 5, and were down 10 to 1 Sunday before coming back in the 8th inning and almost winning the game. I was hoping to use the excuse of watching that first playoff game as the reason for not tuning in to the first debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. However, it is an afternoon game, and so I will now have to think up a different excuse. Being captured by aliens? Very plausible. Especially these days.
