Sox continue the same pattern of beating the bad teams and losing to the better ones. The good news is that there is no shortage of bad teams, so you can stay in the wild card hunt just by winning those games. Four games coming up with the ChiSox, without a doubt the worst team in MLB.
Old school is good school.
That is not a tough standard. Its just that people are more accepting of mediocrity today than they used to be. Just like hitting. There are not near as many .300 or better hitters than there used to be. Today, a 3.50 ERA is considered good. 6 innings is a quality start. 200 innings is a milestone. Everything is watered down today.
Once again, Bello not quite ready to start a game, unless he can now get a DP
Ugly top of the 1st that ended well. Bello threw almost everything right down the middle and got away with it despite leadoff single and BB.
On that missed double play, I can't decide who looked worse, Hamilton on the bad throw or Bello cringing at 1b.
Valdez is red hot.
