Having been able to go to today's Cubs/Brewers game at the stadium formerly known as Miller Park (damn the Brewers)...I gotta say you don't really appreciate the positive effect the pitch clock has made on the game until you're at a ball field. It's been good for viewing (when the MLB isn't blacking out its product, mind you), but the pace just felt comfortable and smooth with the pitch clock. Yeah, you gotta pay more attention if you want to follow the game, but that's not an issue for folks who actually want to follow the game...

Cecil and Prince Fielder were among the first recognizable people I met. (In this case, just saw and didn't communicate with). They were at a Reservation casino in Iowa at a Blackjack table just near mine. Prince was either just past 21 or close to it and already gigantic. Cecil was a huge dude also. The elder was clearly into the blackjack and Prince was 100% checked out; they weren't audibly arguing but it was really obvious that the younger had zero interest in a sleepy casino in Tama Iowa. I have no idea what they were doing out there, but I loved Cecil when he was a Blue Jay and never approached him due to their awkward interactions.

I'd actually completely forgotten about seeing those two until the Prince-and-son mention. Man he kicked the crap out of the Cardinals for a few years.

Sigh....this encapsulates the White Sox this season as a whole. 

There are very few things I'm petty about as an adult when it comes to sports, but seeing either the Packers or White Sox suck ass does still give me a bit of joy. 

And looking at the AL East standings is hilarious. What the hell happened there?
