Weird series coming up for the White Sox. We always want to root-root-root for the home team — unless they are on the road, in which case we have nothing but contempt for the home team, and wish their fields to go barren and salt to rain from the sky. But in this lost season, Sox fans might want the Brewers to win, in order to stay in first in the NL Central.
That’s what it’s come down to this year. Atavistic anti-Cubs sentiment militating against our human desire for victory. So it’ll be a clash of emotions as the Brewers head south on 94 to play their old AL enemies, our White Sox.
