It could just be a fan’s misguided hopes, but it had seemed to me before the All-Star break that the White Sox were becoming a team. Not a good team yet, by any means, and regressing badly after the break, but no longer just a bunch of guys who like to dress up in the same kinky outfits.
They’ve even got their cliches covered:
- Spirit leader fun guys Yolmer, Leury and, now, Eloy
- Thinkers like McCann and Giolito
- An elder statesman like Abreu
- Brash Timmy
- and a whole bunch of young upstarts
Note I only used first or last names there, not both.
