It's August - crunch time for baseball teams hoping to make the playoffs - and I am happy to report that the Chicago White Sox, my South Side heros, are still leading the American League Central Division by 9 games, although the team has suffered from a number of injuries and are 4-6 over the last ten games. Ironically, their North Side rivals, the Chicago Cubs, as well as the Colorado Rockies (seen in the photo above on the giant screen at Denvers McGregor Square) are also 4-6 over their last 10 games, although both of those teams are well out of the running for post-season play. I do have to say, however, that the Rockies, predicted to be the worst team in baseball this year, are not nearly as bad as forecast. Mediocre, yes, but here in Denver, mediocre as far as the Rockies are concerned is not a surprise. Or, for that matter, as far as the Cubs are concerned, either.
