Something crazy happened at Guaranteed Rate Field today.
I mean, yes, the Chicago White Sox came out on top over the Oakland Athletics by a final score of 4-1, securing their first series victory at home since June.
But that wasn’t it.
The crazy thing is that I, a lifelong White Sox fan with cynicism pulsing through my veins, don’t have anything to complain about today. Everything went right. Everything went as planned. The White Sox, in the middle of a 19-game stretch of playing teams worse than .500, came out today and actually beat a team they were supposed to beat.
