Forget the fact that I’m the only Cubs fan in Chicago that has probably seen the White Sox win 2 of their 27 games this season, that’s just dumb luck. If you attend enough games over the years, you’ll see pretty much everything.

While their record is the worst in baseball, few would argue that the soon-to-be Sacramento Whatever’s are much better (37-61) than the Sox at 27-70. Without irking too many Oakland fans, I have to mention how amazing the A’s recent offensive explosion is and it’s what makes ML baseball so damn wonderful.

If you’ve been reading for awhile you know what little regard I have for sports touts. Fans do not benefit in the least by the incessant ads before, during and after games. I’m convinced none of them ever bets their own money and that transparency is out the door. They never cite their losers although they’re pretty easy to track. I can tell you that those in the employ of the Cubs would make Pete Rose blush.

Not even A’s manager, Mark Kotsay could have predicted that Oakland would beat first place Baltimore 19-8 on the 6th of July. Let that one breathe for a moment. Then as a measure of revenge against their former inner-city rival, they whomped on the Phillies today 18-3. The Phillies have the best record in the game and are only 25 games better than Oakland. This isn’t Lovie Smith winning the last game of the season when everyone in the world expected the Texans would tank. This is one of the most inept organizations making two of the better teams in the league look very human.

I have no idea what is going to happen after the ASG and I love it.
