We were going to be a look at some of the possible September call-ups, but we’re going to save that for another time. Last night, two horrible things became true within a few hours of each other:
- The Sox made their way into last place.
- The Cubs clawed their way into first.
This is so wrong for so many reasons, and it seems like an inappropriate time to be ranting about the folly of giving an extension to a creaky right-fielder or being unable to unload a former ace whose triumphant return to form lasted all of two batters. Until tomorrow, let us all go forth and hope the Cardinals do their best this weekend to drag this city’s other set of fans down to our level.
