Me, Worry?

Am I worried? Ok, I've always been a bit of a worry wart. I'm not happy unless I'm worried about something. So, should I start worrying about the White Sox?

The World Champs have lost three games in a row, and worse, their pitching has not been stellar. Last night, Jon Garland looked terrific for the first four innings against the Kansas City Royals. Then the bottom fell out, KC scored five runs and eventually went on to win the game by a score of 11-7.

I know it's only the fourth game of the season, but I am a bit concerned about our starting pitching. They have not looked sharp. Before the season began, I felt that the Sox, despite having such a great team on paper, would struggle in the first few weeks. I think this trend will continue as long as Scott Podsednik remains gimpy with a hamstring problem.

I do think by June the Sox will right the ship. When the weather warms up, so will the Sox. I see them catching fire about mid June when they play the St. Louis Cardinals and Houston Astrols, if not sooner. And their momentum and offensive explosiveness will carry them to the post season.

So should I worry now? Well... maybe a little.

Ok, you have a good point about the Bulls. I am still holding my breath about whether they will make the post season. They have had moments of brilliance this year, and other times, their inexperience comes through. For now, I am taking a wait-and-see attitude, but crossing my fingers all the same.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
