ChicagoSportsBlogs : Non Compete

I swore off baseball this year after the Sox crapped the bed against the Twins last week. I'm getting a lot of shit from White Sox-Nation about that. I'm even getting it from our very own MJ. "Fair weather fan, like all White Sox fans." Yea, I'm afraid I don't have the stomach to sit through this team's struggles anymore. That magic number was stuck on 5 for a week. It was pathetic that we couldn't get a win in Minnesota. Listen, I understand that their stadium is crap, but you can't use that as an excuse. We looked like we had it figured out that last game up in the garbage-bag, but we blew a 5 run lead instead!

Wha?

So I had that glass of vodka Ozzie recommended and said to myself, Good night Irene. Those little piranha got us again. Good luck to them. What else could I do? Tip my cap and chalk this season up to a bit of overachieving and a ton of what could have been! Does that makes me less of a fan? In some people's eyes, for sure. But I am tired. I'm so VERY tired of having to watch a team stumble in the last 2 weeks that I don't know if I can muster the energy to watch these last two games of the season....but I couldn't help myself...

 I was stuck in class last night when I noticed the score go up on the game-cast. It's hard not to get excited when this happens:

The Cuban Missile strikes again! I couldn't believe it. There is a slim bit of hope on the horizon for this team. The Twins are back in Chicago for a do-or-die playoff game tonight. I guess I've got just enough energy to lift my fat ass back onto the bandwagon. Good luck to Johnny Danks. He goes on 3 days of rest and faces the Twin's Blackburn....the same Blackburn that Ozzie threw under the bus when he beat us last week in Minnesota. Ugh, lets hope it doesn't bite us ALL in the ass.
