I’m honestly getting concerned for the well-being of these Sox guys. After all, they may be lousy ballplayers but they’re still human beings.
No person can take this kind of losing for this long. It wears on the body and soul. And when one is run down like that... not good things can happen to them.
None of these guys are used to losing like this. And sure, while they’re each making boatloads of money they are also publically embarrassing themselves to the whole World. And these guys have wives and kids and families that no doubt are being affected.
We know at some point the law of averages will make this level of losing stop. They will still lose and lose a lot... but things do work to level off over time. But this will be one big season of embarrassment for all concerned. And no doubt some of the Sox are hoping to get traded to get away pronto from this South Side Toxic Waste Dump stirred up by a man who spends his days counting his many coins.
Sox Nation... we can hate all this losing. But let’s try to send a little good will to these lost soul ballplayers who don’t know where they find themselves and how to get out of this toxic brew. For us, this is a pastime. For them, this is their lives.
