Don’t rewrite the Chicago White Sox’s season after 18 innings of playoff baseball.
It was a semi-calamity in Houston, falling in an 0-2 series hole that now requires the White Sox to win three straight games against the experienced Astros. Maybe a couple of “Blackout” crowds is the spark the South Siders need, especially after sporting a 53-28 home record during the regular season. Guaranteed Rate Field can solve the defensive miscues and Tony La Russa’s bullpen and infield shift management, right?
Whenever this run ends, though, one thing is certain: This is a good baseball team, even if it’s not great, or never a true 2021 World Series contender.
