What a difference a night makes. Last night about this time, I was licking my wounds, crawling under my covers, getting to bed. Tonight, I feel like partying, but will settle on writing this happy report. Cubs beat the White Sox 7-3 and split the short 2 game series in Wrigley.
Found myself in my car today coming hope from work; definitely don’t miss the traffic. Got to listen to an Eloy Jimenez interview; he sounds like a great guy… not kidding. Definitely comes across as somebody you want to root for, even if he does play for our cross town rival, even if we did trade him. As I listened to a bit of the talk after the interview, I started thinking; why don’t they just build a statue right now? Seriously… the way they’re worshipping this dude. It was a great moment, no doubt. Does he look like he has the potential to be great? Sure. But not even a half a season in, and we’re enshrining him in Cooperstown? Pump your brakes Sox fans. I felt similar about another Sox player after watching tonight.
So you’re saying Lucas Giolito is your ace, huh? Well, he barely got out of the first inning alive after Contreras tagged him for a grand salami. He ended up giving 6 runs overall, in what has to be one of his worst performances of the year. Now I’m not saying he hasn’t been great; he has. I loved the deal that brought him to the Sox; was kind of shocked he wasn’t better out of the gates. But man… he comes back this year and is looking like a Cy Young pitcher… for a little less than half a season. Yeah, I was waiting… I was hoping to write this blog, about how we lit up the newly minted Sox ace; we got all up in your ace Sox fans. But, shake it off… get back to the regular scheduled programming… and back on track for the Cy Young award that he already has in the bank…

There’s always somebody new that we’re trying to anoint the greatest ever. We’re trying to crown folks after a short period of success. I see the same with the Sox fans, and Jimenez and Giolito. Do I think they’re going to be good? Sure. But there are 162 games in 1 season; the same number of games that we play every season…. some teams even play more than that; hopefully the Sox can get back into that club. You know, the playoff club… where the Cubs have been 5 consecutive years. Yeah, do it well, and do it over time; be consistent. Try to maintain the levels of greatness over time, and then let’s talk. This is what a young team has to learn. I do think that the Sox are positioned for this. Keep your head down, keep playing hard, don’t let your heads get too big too soon, because you haven’t accomplished a damn thing yet.
So take this lesson from the Cubs tonight. Just as you tried to copy the Cubs blueprint of success, learn from tonight; learn from every night. And also, don’t be afraid to eat some pie… humble pie, like the one the Cubs served up tonight, just for you. Buon Appetit. Go Cubs!
