It seems like only yesterday that the woeful White Sox took two of three from the Indomitable Cincinnati Reds. How could anyone beat Terry Francona & Company and at home? We were led to believe (for the 234th time this century) that this Reds machine could.

If you were obsessing over the Cubs-Sox and Yankee-Met classics this weekend, you likely missed out on the battle for Hollywood. The Mike Troutless, Angels swept the Dodgers and Shohei. Zoiks, how did that happen?

If I were writing this for effect and not my own vanity, I would have used one thousand superlatives and dabbled in hyperbole to make a first grader blush. Instead, I’m letting the facts speak for themselves.
