Happy Saturday, White Sox fans, and happy Dylan Cease Day, I guess. Our losing streak has ended, and we can continue that endless, season-long climb back up to .500 in the most confusing way possible.<\/p>\n
Today’s comeback was a struggle through every moment, and it’s on par with what’s expected these days from this team. Being a lifelong White Sox fan has netted many despondent seasons on par with this same level of disappointment, but I didn’t anticipate suffering the years of that painful rebuild to get to this pole-obscured, 500 level of hell, and maybe the escalators aren’t broken today with this win, but the bathrooms near our seats are closed, so we have to walk all the way across the concourse just to pee, and we’ve had six beers. <\/p>\n
Embarrassingly, I bet a White Sox World Series loss for 2022, and I’m feeling pretty foolish as I watch the South Siders claw their way up the mountain to .500 over and over again, endlessly sliding down the sisyphean hell slope that is a relatively easy AL Central schedule. The injuries don’t matter at this point, because the healthy White Sox bats seem bored, and the bench players are saving the day. The White Sox are a bunch of high school seniors during the last week of science class, staring forlornly out the window toward a picturesque beach party where their friends are having a blast, and they’re stuck listening to how horrible polio is and how amazing it is that vaccines exist. <\/p>\n
(Cease was on the beach with his friends that day). <\/p>\n
