Big picture:
9 times out of 10 Ronny gets a better hop on that ball and it's a game-ending DP.
95 times out of 100 the offense absolutely clubs the #### out of Harang and we win going away.
I know it's hard to see the forest right now, but this is just a bad patch. They will snap out of this. And the math for winning the division still looks awfully good.
For reference: on September 7, 2005, the White Sox were 87-51 and up 9.5 on the Indians. In their next 14 games against the likes of the Royals (terrible), Angels (very good), Royals again (terrible), Twins (mediocre-to-bad), Indians (HOT as hell- Astros?), and Twins again (meh), they played like ####, went 4-10, and saw their division lead drop to 1.5 games.
Were they "cursed"? How did that year work out?
THERE IS NO CURSE! If this patch had happened in early August instead of now, and we had the same record and the same lead we wouldn't be worried at all.
As long as Zambrano or Harden aren't actually injured we're going to be OK.
Neverthless, it's a colossal disappointmnet to face some bland starters at HOME and lose 5 of 7.
The Reds would be thrilled to stick it to the Crew.
Sigh.....
And Wood needs to pitch more often than once in five days.
But I think we've already established that "luck" is not a concept that most baseball fans find comfortable.
You're not talking about Braun, so all's forgiven.
Wow. I knew he was struggling, but that's insane. It's practically impossible to slug that low for an extended period of time, especially for a hitter of Prince's caliber.
What does this have to do with the ball hit to him today taking an awful hop? Most shortstops in the league would have bricked that ball.
That's all I've heard about in Chicago since Wednesday. Curses, choking, black cats, 1969, etc.
