Watched the White Sox finally play some good ball last night as they closed out the 2012 season in second place in the AL Central Division, by far the weakest one, with an 85-77 record. They did better than most had expected and largely because three previously worthless, highly-paid players, had finally started doing what they were paid to do. That would be Dunn, Peavey and Rios.
Now, it appears Peavey will be leaving as a free agent. Too bad, because he got paid very well (over $10 million) for two years when he certainly didn't earn it. He should stay at least one more year to make up for his worthlessness. Either that or give a lot of that ill-gotten money back or at least to charity.
The Sox were plagued right to the end by lack of attendance at home games. Too bad.
Then, there were the Cubs who only out performed one team, the Houston Astros, in their Central Division of the National League. So, it was a 61-101 record and fifth place.
Even their main fan base, the beautiful people, abandoned them toward the end as Wrigley Field was no longer the place "TO BE SEEN." Some tickets for the last series against the Astros were going for under $1. Even with that horrendous record, they still really outdrew the Sox by a lot.
Anyway, now with no team I like in the playoffs, it will not be necessary for me to watch any games.
