I had a late lunch with my friend Stuart Saturday afternoon at the Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom in Lakewood, Colorado. If you love both suburbia and ugly, you would love Lakewood. But I digress. Over lunch, Stuart and I discussed his new job, politics, and of course, baseball. Stuart, as regular blog readers know, is originally from the North Side of Chicago, and a Cubs fan. He has not been paying too much attention to the team, since they traded away all their stars last year and are in a rebuilding mode. I myself am from the South Side, and a White Sox fan. The White Sox are a mere 2.5 games out of first place and a contender, though to be honest, they are a pretty mediocre team in a weak division. The Colorado Rockies (who the owner, Dick Monfort, considers a contender) have almost the same record as the Cubs, although the Rockies are 32.5 games out of first place while the Cubs are a mere 17 back. Will the Rockies and Cubs make the playoffs in history-making comebacks? Will the White Sox somehow meander into the post-season despite their mediocrity? Stay tuned, although you have probably already guessed the answer to those questions.
