You may have noticed that there hasn’t been a Sox report in quite some time. Well, there is a good reason for that. Quite simply, I can’t stomach an entire game. Right now, we are the second worst team in MLB (how did we get to be worse than the Kansas City Royals?). Out of the last 10 games, we have lost 9. And there doesn’t seem like there will be any let up for the rest of the season. Believe me, September is going to be a rough one on the Southside. The team certainly has given up, including manager Ozzie Guillen who always seems a bit bewildered in the dugout, spitting out sunflower seeds in the dirt. Apryl says he looks drunk. Ugh. Here’s a recent quote from Guillen, “I finally have to admit it – we’re horse sh*t. I thought we were just playing bad, but, no, we’re horse sh*t”. At least he’s honest, I suppose. On the other side of town, the Cubs are tearing it up, making it to first place in the National League Central Division, even with the injured superstar Alfonso Soriano. Will this be the year the Cubs finally go to the World Series? Perhaps, if they can avoid the Cubs Curse.
As for the Sox, I still love `em. Go Sox!
