On the South Side, this week feels a little like waking up during the second act of a Hangover movie: Tony La Russa is missing, empty bottles of Malört litter the clubhouse floor, and Ken Williams has a face tattoo.
Rest assured, there’s one thing that hasn’t changed. Burly hurler Lance Lynn can still pitch.
The Tonka Truck dusted up the San Diego Padres last week, spinning a gem of a game. Lynn went seven innings, giving up a single run on four hits. Too little, too late, as the season ended shortly thereafter with a resounding home-field whooping by the Twins.
