strike three

The most recent words from Dave are a swing and a miss — strike three.

Let’s forget for a moment that DWC keeps hinting at the movie title “Desperately Seeking Susan” in his descriptions of me, such as “ever thinning SKH” and “incessantly shrinking SKH.” The cadence is just too close.

Let’s also try to put out of our minds that now he’s admitted (albeit in the 3rd person) to watching Martha ANDOprah.

Let’s further omit our notice of his two additional gratuitous self-links about ninjutsu and condiments.

All we need to focus on is that he’s still missing the point about Chicago baseball par excellence.

• The Sox went wire to wire.
• The Sox swept the World Series.
• The Sox were just the third team in history to sweep the World Series after going wire to wire.
• The Sox won their final eight games in a row.
• The Sox went 11-1 in their 12 postseason games.
• The Sox swept the former defending champion Red Sox in three games.
• The Sox won all six postseason away games against teams that finished a combined 69 games over .500 at home.
• The Sox didn’t even need Bo Jackson or Mike Ditka to do it.

Let me also point out that by drawing him into this little conversation, he’s now posted three times about the White Sox. Apparently he’s careless about protecting his carelessness, though claiming to give utmost care in every post.

Alack, tis a silly matter to be sure, and I do agree that squandering our time at the TMS Blog would be much better.
