So, guess what came in the mail yesterday.
My playoff and World Series tickets.
I think that stabbing pain I had yesterday (which hasn't gone away, it's just "significantly muted") was to show me what a Cub Fan feels like.
Let's look back at August 1st...
The White Sox are solidly in First Place of the AL Central, 15 games ahead of Cleveland, and owners of the best record in all of baseball - 69-35.
This morning, still in first, but only by 1½ games over Cleveland. It's the Sox' smallest lead since April 30. They have a record of 91-61, still best in all of the American League but no longer best in all of baseball. We were the first team to 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 wins. Not to 80 and not to 90. There's 10 games left in the season. Their magic number is 9.
The last three games of the season is against Cleveland. We lost to Minnesota last night. The White Sox have lost 10 of 14.
