Interleague Finale

Going into Sunday's interleague finale with the White Sox, let's try to keep things in perspective. We're only talking about the White Sox, not a powerhouse like Tampa Bay.

Consider these statistics. The Sox are 4.5 games out of first place. The Cub are 5 games out.

The White Sox have a win-loss record of .513. The Cubs have a record of .488.

The Sox have a losing streak of two. The Cubs have a winning streak of two.

So the two teams have much in common. Both are doing better than Tampa Bay, but not as well as Boston. On any given day, the White Sox are just as likely as the Cubs to play a pee-poor game.

In other words, the Sox are just as bad as the Cubs. So why worry about Sunday's game? Smile. Be happy.

Wake up and smell the ivy.
