Major League Baseball's Division Series begins this week, but alas, my Southside heros, the Chicago White Sox, are not participating. They were eliminated in the three game Wildcard Series by the Oakland A's. Those Northside Chicago Cubs did not fare any better - they were eliminated by the Miami Marlins - Yes! The Marlins! - in just two games. As we are always fond of saying back in Chicago, "wait until next year." I will say, however, that the White Sox did look good this season. And I still maintain that if the White Sox or Cubs did win it all this October, their achievement would have had an asterisk attached to it, noting that it was only a 60 game season due to the coronavirus, and not a real baseball season at all. So, in the end, both teams dodged a bullet, marking time until next season. Convoluted thinking, I know, but when you are a Chicago baseball fan, that is to be expected.
