The White Sox sung us all a beautiful Fourth Place Lullaby tonight as they quietly rocked the Angels this evening. As visions of protected draft picks danced in my head, the team lethargically trudged to the final score of 5-3.
For some time, it appeared that I would be setting down to pen yet another exciting and jubilant write-up about greenhorn phenomenon Shohei Ohtani, rookie sensation David Fletcher, Mike “Everything that’s good about baseball” Trout stealing and getting on base, and resurgent veteran Kole Calhoun.
The disappointment that followed a botched bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the 5th, however, would set the tone for what was to come shortly after.
