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.

I think the biggest problem with the White Sox is their offense is fine.

Again, they didn't cash in on opportunities in yesterday's game.

But when you know that your ERA is 5.79 in the month of June, the pitching, I'm not saying the wheels are falling off, but the wheels are feeling a little rickety.

You know, like when you're in a car and something doesn't quite feel right and you're riding along and it's like, ah, I don't really want to take it to the shop because I'm Mark Grody and I don't like to actually know what the problem is.

I just want to see if I can survive what I have.

Just fix it.

But you end up going to the shop.

Yeah.

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.

Here's your filthy-ass filter from your car with all these leaves and bits of grass in it.
