Yeah.

Very veteran team.

They're very much older than the White Sox, yes.

What did you think was going to happen to the White Sox?

And that's just it.

And that's why this is disappointing.

I mean, you have a very rational attitude about it.

You know, move on.

You just won series over the Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves, which was monumental.

But separating that when you look at this series by itself.

It's a measuring stick, and we're at the point in the White Sox season where you want to know how we know they're good.

I think everybody's accepted that the White Sox are a good baseball team that is capable of going to the playoffs.

So now the season is about series like this against the Yankees.

How good are you?

And unfortunately, the White Sox in these two games, 12-2 and 10-5, they've looked bad against the Yankees in this measuring stick series.

But you end up going to the shop, and that bill comes due, and you're like, ah.

Well, it's like when you get the oil change.

I am at the point where they're showing me stuff.
