Sox Win! World Rejoices!

I was asked the other day why I'm still watching every inning this year.  Is it because I have no life? Yes.  Of course.  But there's a new rule for Chicago baseball: No complaining within 5 years of a World Series Trophy.  They're tough to win, so you have to enjoy it and ultimately you must tolerate the let down that must follow. 

But I'm also trying to figure out what the heck happened.  How could a team with such talent swan-dive like this?  I don't know. I'll let you know when I'm done watching...

I need to update my "untouchables" list.  At this point, I'm down to three: A.J., Paulie, and Garland.  For everyone else, I'm fine with their departure if the right deal comes along.  Contreras' velocity is down, so that red flag takes him off the list.  Danks has shown promise, but I'd part with him for the right player.  The lifespan of a closer is short and glorious. For that reason, I would be willing to lose Jenks, too, if someone backs up the truck for the Maestro.

Sox v. D-Rays tonight.  I'll watch it for you...
