There are 6 weeks left until baseball playoffs begin, and as of today, the Chicago White Sox, my Southside heros, are in first place, 9 games ahead of their closest rival, the Cleveland Indians. However, like all White Sox fans, I am still worried. I have watched a lot of Sox games recently, and although they play well against mediocre teams, they seem to have trouble when they play contenders. Just this week they lost 2 out of 3 to the Tampa Bay Rays, the defending American League champions, and the one game they did win was a cliffhanger. Thank God they start a 3 game series tonight against the Chicago Cubs, their Northside rivals, who are absolutely awful this year. Let's hope they stay awful for the next 3 days. As for the Colorado Rockies, they are playing well at home, and horrible on the road. They were predicted by baseball experts to be the worst team in major league baseball this season, but right now there are 6 teams even worse than they are. Here in Denver, we consider that a successful season. And by the way, the photograph above is a self portrait I took after I teleported myself to Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago this past week. It's a learned skill.
