The damage: Sox pitching staff in the ALCS?
Angels' hitting line: .175 avg, .196 OBA, .266 SLG
So much White Sox love on ESPN, Fox, and the newspapers. The best part about this is: now *everybody* knows what I know, like they're in on the secret joy of how solid this team is. Not just the ace-heavy pitching staff, or how clutch Konerko is, or how crazy Ozzie is, but...
- What a cold-blooded assassin Joe Crede is.
- How amazing Contreras's turnaround is.
- How steady the Gooch is.
- What a pain in the ass A.J. is.
- How huge Juan's swing is.
- That CarlEverett doesn't believe in dinosaurs.
- How good Garland CAN be.
- How airtight the D is.
Now that everyone knows, everyone can join in the party and share the joy. Not that there's no fear. I'm scared and all-too-aware that it can all end as quick as you can say Oswalt, Clemens, Pujols, Carpenter, Killer Bees. But now is for taking a breath, the satisfying pat on the back for a job accomplished, with the knowledge that another one awaits.
Who's not ready? Let's go get the next one.
